Printed by A. M. for Charles Bates at the Sun and Bible in Pye-corner The HISTORY of the Black Prince c. CHP. I. How the French King upon King Edward the Thirds coming to the Crown sent to him to come to Paris and do him homage for the Pallaces the English held in France how he not only refused it but layd claim to the Crown of France Quartered their Arms with his own entered into confederacy with the Neighbouring Princes Invaded them with powerful Armys his love to the Countess of Salisbury the order of the Garter c. WHEN the English valour was famous and more Renowned than that of other Nations our Warlike heroes contended more for fame than Gold and brought a terror on their Enemys wherever they carryed their Arm proud France then trembled and the English Lyon grasped with so strong a hand their Golden Lillys that all the struggling of that large Kingdom was not able to rescue them from the spoil and becoming the trophies of out Conquering Princes as I shall plainly and largely show you in this Famous History King Edward the third in his Fathers life-time took upon him the Title of king of England by the consent of the three Estates assembled in Parliament when he was but Fifteen Years of Age and Young as he was shewed much of a Martial spirit and promised great things to the world which he accordingly performed for having Warred successfully in Scotland and brought that to his terms their king submitting and holding fealtie of him he making and unmaking them at pleasure Phillip D' Valois The French king began to mistrust his growing greatness and thinking whilst he was young to put a Check to his forward Valour sent to demand his Homage for the Province of Guyen held by him in the kingdom of France but he not only ●outly refused it in the terms the French Required it by the Advice of his Peers lay'd claim to the Crown of France as coming to him in the right of Queen Isabel his mother bein his due both by civil Law and order of Succession as being Nephew to Charles the Fourth Brother to the said Isabel and that as much as Phillip then Reigning was descended of a second Branch to this the French opposed their Salsque Law wherein it was provided that no Woman should inherit the Crown of France but this being looked on as contrived to hinder the succession of the English kings in their Marriages with the Daughters of France and king Edward declaring he was a Male of a Female that had right to the Crown that pretence ought not to Exclude him a War upon these grounds was Proclaimed the king quartering the Arms of France with those of England and laying a Peremptorie claime to the Crown This Business as it was extraordinary weighty so it required much secrecy untill it was well layed for which purpose king Edward craved the Advice of the Earl of Hanault Father to Phillipa his Queen and Mother to Edward the Black Prince who was growing up to great Actions as will hereafter appear who with his Brother and other Nobles of Flanders procured king Edward to be created Vicar General of the Empire that so without being controuled he might command the Nobles and common people of those Countrys to further his purpose in the intended War But how private soever these things were carried Phillip the French king had private notice of what was doing and stopped the huge Army he ●ad raised at the Importunity of Pope Benedict the Eleventh from passing into the Holy Land to war against the Turks and Sarazens who there mightily oppressed the Christians Resolving to defend his own Country from the threatened storm In the mean while king Edward raised great Sums of Mony and Leabyed men and with his Queen Sailed into Flanders where that Winter they remained at Antwerp and Conferrnig with the Princes and States of Germany he so well settled his Affairs that in the Spring he Landed in France with an Army consisting of 27000 Fighting-men bringing a great terror on the Country though the French king had on Army of 60000 Common Souldiers to oppose him being accompanied with Three kings viz. of Bohemia Scotland and Navarre Five Dukes Six and Twenty Earls and more than Four Thousond Lords and knights and so both Armys drawing into the Field and approaching each other as the bloody blast was about to be sounded by the Mediation of Jane Countess of Hanault Sister to king Phillip and Mother to king Edward's Queen they seperated from each other without striking a blow to the great discontent of the English who full of Valour thirsted to begin the Battle on the first command King Edward however laid not aside his pretentions but hearing the French king had set out a great Fleet consisting of 200 Sail of his own and other Nations he had hired which had on Board them 40000 men who Robbed the English Merchants and made some spoils on our Coast being full of Magnanimity and Valour Resolute in his purposes and reckoning the French as his Subjects and Inferiours in Arms Especially on the Seas and hoping by his good success not only to win Honour among the Princes and Sates of his confederacy and purposing if he might to strike Terror in the French Nation concerning those Wars set upon their whole Navy with such incomparable courage and bold spirit that after a long Obstinate and Bloody Fight very few or none of the French Ships escaped but were either taken sunk or burnt by the English with a much Inferiour Number with inconsiderable loss on our side This great Sea Victory much discouraged the French and mightily encouraged the English and their Confederates so that the king landing at Slace in Triumph and going from thence to Gaunt where his Queen lay and the Black Prince was accompanied with Seven Earls Eight Bishops Twenty eight Barrons Two Hundred knights 4000 Men at Arms and ●i●e Thousand Archers all Valiant English-Men he joyned the Duke of Brabant who commanded 22000 men Jaques Dartwell a famous Fleming who
