THE KING , our Lord and Master , not content , nor satisfied with the Festiuities and Entertainements hitherto shewed to the Highnesse of the Illustrious PRINCE of WALES , Prince CHARLES , Sonne to the KING of Great Brittaine ; wherein , the Nobilitie , liberalitie , and glory of my Countrie of Madrid , and Caualeers of the Court , vpon sundry occasions had concurred , as by other Relations is made manifest ; his Maiesty determined to conclude his Festiuities , publikely , in the great Market-place of the Towne . A worthy Amphitheater , whereon for the Monarch of the two worlds , to represent the memoriall of most renowned Romane Solemnities , to burie them in obliuion , which in despite of enuie , new emulation and glory hath renewed . Munday , was the day appointed , beeing the one and twentieth of August : for which end , the Market-place set forth with that order , disposition , and ornament , as is vsuall ; allotting conuenient prospect for these rarities , in the same erections , made in the forme of Scaffoldes , so necessarie for the placing of many strangers which were there , as also , being prouidently distinguisht and separated . The Councels of State , and Peeres of the Kingdome , tooke their places , after the accustomed manner . The Panaderia was set forth with rich hangings , with two Canopies of crymson cloth of siluer ; Chaires , and Pillowes of the same , in the two principall Scaffolds allotted to the King and Queene , but that there was a little partition which separated them ; a respect as due to the Illustrious Prince of ENGLAND , the chosen Spouse of her Highnesse , as deseru'd in his affection ; which lighting on so superiour an obiect , might seeme to bee offended with any interposition to his eye . The renowned Infanta Lady Maria seconded , and augmented this fauour ; being clothed for this Festuitie , in the Princes colours , in white , as an vnspotted Doue , after the Maiestie of England . The manes of her Coach-horses were twisted with blue ribbands ; A demise of the Noble Fleece of her future Spouse : all these being premises , which seeme to giue assurance of what hath beene treated vpon . There accompanied the Lady Infanta , the Lord Don Fernando , her brother , clothed in Romane Purple , that radient Sunne of the Church , euen as his Sister is the resplendent beames of true beauty . The Queene , our Lady , came in a Chaire of State , supported by mens hands , with her vsuall state and magnificence : whom there followed , as the Stars the greater light , the Minions and Ladies , bringing with her the peoples benedictions . His Maiestie , and their Highnesses din'd this day in publicke , in the spacious Halles of the Panaderia : and about two in the afternoone , came in Coach into the Market-place , our Lord the King , the Prince of Wales , and the Lord Infante Don Carlos , braue with grauity , and graue in brauery . The King came apparrelled in blacke , with his Brother , and the Illustrious Prince in white : their habits diuided in fashion , halfe after the English , and halfe after the Spanish manner ; they entred the Scatfoldes , his Maiestie giuing the right hand , as alwaies he did , to the Prince . Foure and twentie Charriots ( being inuented moueable groues , and Fountaines brought to that place ) began to disperse of their liquors , after the vsuall manner : and about halfe an houre past two , the Marquesse of Rentin hauing dismissed it , and Don Fernando Verdugo , with requisite gallantrie and authority , required in such solemnities , by the Gate that issues out into the Imperiall Street , causing much delight , and awaking all mens desires , Leonardo , Sergeant Trumpet to his Maiesty , entered , richly clad , and on horsebacke , whom followed sixteene Kettle-Drums , threescore Trumpets and Clarions , and foure and twenty Musicians , all his Maiesties seruants , and with his Liuerie , which for this day , was of carnation Sattin , garded with siluer lace , and blacke welts , cut vpon siluer tynsell ; large Cassocks , Hats with blacke and carnation Plumes , Swords and Daggers hatcht with siluer , with siluer Hangers , twisted with blacke silke ; all mounted on goodly Horses , with bridles of the same : and the Trumpets and Drummes had his Maiesties Armes on their Pennons , as glorious and entire as could be made , in the most famous triumph of the world . Then followed the Kings Querrie , The Kings Querrie . all the Kings Riders , his Pages , and Officers leading the way , vncouered , before a rich Horse , on which his Maiestie was to runne , all exceeding braue and gallant : there came foure Groomes of the Stable , foure Farriers , with Powches of Crimosine Veluet , and in them whatsoeuer was requisite for the shooing of Horses ; twelue Lacqueys of note , & sixtie horses of a brown bay , white and blacke trappings , with muzzlers of siluer , mixt white and blacke , couered with horse-clothes of new and fresh Crimosin Veluet , there being embroidred on them in cloth of Gold , the name of Philip the 4. & his Royall Armes , with edgings of silke and gold , and frindge of the same : A Lacquey led euery Horse with the right hand , in a Liuerie of carnation Sattin , hose and iacket laid with siluer and black silke lace , the forepart and bottome being cut vpon siluer tynsell , black hats , siluer hat-bands , carnation and black Plumes , Sleeues of Cloth of siluer , and siluer Furniture . There came forth forty Yongsters of the Stables , after the Turkish manner , open Hoses , Iackets and Bonnets of carnation Taffata ; and after all the horses , with wonderfull Maiestie and Greatnesse , they brought along leaning on their shoulders , a goodly Rider , with his mounting steps of fine Wood , in-laid with Lists of Ebony , couered with carnation Taffata , with frindges of gold and siluer . There followed this glorious sight , another no lesse sumptuous , of twelue Mules laden with bunches of Canes , couered ouer with cloathes of crimson Veluet , and vpon it richly imbroidered , the Royall Armes , head-stalles of Silke , bits of Siluer , Pettrels , and Bridles of the same ; on the sides and fore-parts of the Mules , and on the tops of their heads and Saddles , were set carnation and blacke plumes , strip't with siluer , which seem'd Mountaines of feathers , cast ouer with gold : with euery one of them there went a Groome , or Youth , in a Liuery of the Lacqueys ; all which , to the admiration of this order , and equipage , added a pleasure and delight to the view . Presently with the same order , and equipage , entred the horses of other troupes , the shew of the towne following , and the rest of the Gentlemen , as their lot fell out , as betweene so great Princes to auoid discontentments of precedencie , it was agreed .

The townes show . The honourable Towne of Madrid , sent forth foure Trumpets on horsebacke , with caparisons of Orange-colour'd Taffata , laid with Siluer Lace , and the Trumpeters in Cassocks of the same ; blacke Hats lin'd with Orange-colour'd Taffata , Orange-colour'd Plumes , and siluer furniture , and foure and twenty Horses with rich trappings , on whom were mounted foure and twenty Lacqueys in a Liuery of Orange-colour'd Taffata , Hose , and Mandillions and Girdles , and furniture of Siluer ; orange-colour'd Hose , and Points , Hats , furniture and Plumes like to the Trumpets ; white Targets , and orange-colour'd Bandels ; and after them came the Maior of the Towne , discharging the place of chiefe Rider .

That the precedent shew might no wayes bee abated , it was rcquisite the Duke of Infantado should follow the lustre and honour of the Mendozas . Infantado .

He brought with him forty horses , flea-bitten , with blacke and white trappings , white Turkish barbes , white tayles and maynes , white Targets , and blacke Bandels , with the illustrious and glorious blazon of the Aue Maria ; the which , by reason of the opposition of colours , yeelded to the sight a pleasant obied . A Lacquey led euery horse with his right hand , and there were eight and forty more , of note and respect , all in Hose and Iackets of blacke Sattin , garded with broad siluer Lace , siluer furniture , hats with bands and wreathes of siluer , white and blacke Plumes , white Bases , and loopes of siluer Plate , with thirty sixe Groomes clad in crimson Taffata , with downe-cut open Hose , Iacquets and Bonnets after the Turkish manner , and rubbing cloathes of Freezado on their shoulders : and after the last horse , vpon another very faire and beautifull sate the Rider .

Don Pedro de Toledo , This Pompe of the Duke , was followed by Don Pedro de Toledo , the honour of Castilian Knights : the Admiration , and wonder of strange Nations . Foure Trumpets led in his troupe of horse themselues , vpon Sorrell horses , in gabberdines of yellow-coloured Sattin , laid with gold Lace , Hats of Taffata , with wreathes and bands of Gold , white Plumes , guilt furniture and Spurres , with the Armes of the House of Toledo on their brests , and the falling of their shoulders ; their horses , with caparisons of the same the Trumpets had .

The Troope hemn'd round about the Rider , and foure Trumpets of the Count de Monterey followed , Monterey . with long Coates of white Sattin , Laces & Flowers of Gold , Hats of the same , blacke Plumes , and golden furniture , with his Armes vpon the Trumpets , and the Horses that went with horse-cloathes in the same Liuery .

To whom in emulation , succeeded the Castellan of the Cordouas , Sessa . in the company of the famous Duke of Sesa , who shewed glory and brauerie , proper to his Family . He brought foure Trumpets on horseback , with Cassocks of sea-water greene , waued with gold Laces , hats of the same , with greene pennons , plated furniture , and his Armes vpon the Trumpets ; the horses with cloathes of taffata , of the same colour , and garded with siluer Lace .

Last of all , inclosing these magnificent shewes , came in the Duke of Ceaes horse , Cen.

And hauing shewed , and made their obedience , they baited but a few Buls , to giue way to the running of the Canes .

His Catholike Maiestie , and the Lord infante Don Carlos , shewing their accustomed courteous complements to the Queene , the Prince , and the Lady Infanta , left their Scaffolds , and at a gate that goes into the street of Atocha , tooke Coach , Where an infinite concourse of people attended their entry . The street reflected vpon by the Sunne , was sanded , and watered , and the entries chain'd vp , a remedy against the cumbersome annoyance of Coaches , the disturbance of Festiuities , which the prouidence of Don Iohn de Castilla preuented , as he vseth to doe . Aduertisement was giuen some few dayes before , to the Countesse of Miranda , that his Maiestie would honour her , by comming thither to maske himselfe , and the Messengers were one day , the Marquesse de Flores Auila , and the other day del Infantado . Her Excellency entertained this fauour , proiuding her house , conformable to the short warning she had : shee whited it all ouer , euen to the staires of Ascent , setting forth the Court round with new Hangings , and hanging vp in all the entries or Portals of the Kings Quarter , Curtaines of white Damaske , with Gold Frindge , and Walking Rods guilded : There were beds laid for the King and the Infante , which were brought out of the Palace , by the Duke of Infantados order , who requested the Countesse in this one thing to follow his direction , though her Excellencie had prouided those that were most rich : but she followed the Dukes counsell , as a friend , though it were against the ancient custome of her House ; who , in such like entertainments , without hauing any thing from the Palace , had euer plentiful and honorable store : the Roomes were washed with sweet powders , and water of Amber mingled , yeelding an excellent and comfortable odour to the senses . Next to his Maiesties Quarter , she prouided an other for the Conde de Oliuares , with a rich bed of Needle-worke , and the Gussets of the soft knappings of Silke , and in the lower part of the house , a Quarter for Don Iayme de Cardenas , who was this day one of the Gard , and appointed to cloath the King : for which purpose hee had prouided Gloues , Handkerchiefes , present collation , & sundry waters of delight . In the same manner was there prouided another Quarter for the Marquesse del Carpio , who was to attend the Lord Infante , and an other hang'd with crymson Damaske fring'd with gold , for the Lords that would refresh themselues , with aboundance of conserues , sweet meats , and waters of all sorts , and delightsome . She prouided shirts , for his Maiestie and Highnesse to change , at their comming or going , as they did . She gaue two Boxes for Reliques , of inestimable value , to his Maiestie , with a famous relique of St Philippe the Apostle : to the Lord Infante , and another of St Lawrence , which Pope Sixtus the 5. gaue to the Countesse , when shee was Vice-Queene of Naples : and the Galley wherein they came being sunke , after a yeeres space , the Trunk wherein they came , was seene in the water , which being known to belong to the Conde , Iohn Andrea Doria sent it him ; a miraculous accident , and which approues the certaintie of reliques , a pious and discreet present vpon such an occasion , & to such persons : she also had Gloues & handkerchiefes for them , in cabinets of Rock-christal , wrought with gold , Pasts to be eaten , in glasses of the same : & apples of sweet waters , all christall , and gold , and being most wise and discreet , to giue full contentment to his Maiesty , she procured that in the Monastery of the holy Trinitie , the holy Sacrament should be opened , with great solemnitie of lights and Ornaments , which his Maiestie , and Highnes humbly ador'd , from the Countesses window , shewing the deuotion which the House of Austria euer had . At the Countesses staires , there receiued his Maiestie the Ladies of Zunniga , and the first that kist his hand , was the Countesse of Monte-Rey , whom the King honoured , with laying his armes vpon her ; the Lady of Nieua , and the Marquisesse of Flores Dauila did the like , the Ladie of Alcannizas , & the two Countesses of Santisteuan , and de Villa-Alonso , to whom his Maiestie vouchsafed the courtesie he vsually sheweth to Ladies ; and so passing through the midst of them all , hee went directly to the Quarter of the Countesse de Miranda , where her Excellencie attended ; and being saluted by his Maiestie , she made sute for his hand to kisse , with a briefe and modest discourse , manifesting the fauour that herein she receiued .

After this , his Maiestie went to maske himselfe , into his owne Quarter , where they had placed a Royall Table , furnish't with all manner of Conserues , about fortie Plates and dishes of Siluer , with dry'd Suckets , and rose-sugar confections of eight seuerall sorts . The King tasted some of them , and commanded it should still stand ready prepared till they returned from running . All this passed in the Countesses house , which being so worthy to be imparted to those curious to learne and know , I thought good in this discription , to make a digresson from setting downe the Festiuitie . And no great wonder that Pihlip the fourth thus honoured the Countesse of Miranda , knowing that wise Philip the second , his Grandfather , did as much , when shee was Vice-Queene of Barcelona , being accompanied with the Ladies Infantaes , Lady Isabella , and Lady Catalina , when the Count had the Duke of Sauoya for his guest , and the greatest part of his Court , for foure moneths in his own house and at his charges , imitating in these fauours , Philip the third , the vertuous his Father , who in Vallodolid supped in the Countesses house , when the Duke was married , who is Duke of Pennaranda , fauours due vnto his Illustrious House and Lady . The Canes were now sorted out , the Drummes , Trumpets , and his Maiesties Musicians going before them , by the Streetes of the Relators , and Atocha , euen to the Market-place ; and before their entring it , Don Augustin Mexia , and Don Fernando Gyron , of the Councell of State and Warre to his Maiestie , being valiant Souldiers , as all men know , made their Entries , as Patrons of the Canes , to present them to his Maiestie , and Highnesses ; presently came in all the Musicke , The Kinge . taking their places , when his Maiestie , whom God preserue for many yeeres , entred , running against the Count de Oliuares ( a deserued honour of so faithfull a Prince ) mounted on two brown bay horses , with such dexterity and force , and so iustly encountering in euery respect , that the earth enuying so equal a shock , remained with the immpressions and prints in it of this Carreere , making footsteps in the sand , as a paterne and example for such as are accustomed to that exercise , and shall hereafter follow in the same place . At the Kings running , his Maiestie and their Highnesses , with the Councellors of the place , made a complementall Recognition . By and by , ran the Lord Infante Don Carlos , renewing in the valour of his tender yeeres , the memoriall of his great Grandfather , and the Marquesse of Carpio ran against him , as euer he vseth to do . There followed Don Lewys de Ato , an imitator of his Father , the Marquesse , & with him ran Sant Estiuan , Don Iayme de Cardenas enclosing the Troupe , brother to the Duke of Maqueda , and the Count Portalegre . The vestiments of his Maiestie , and the Lord Infante , were rich and costly , with Spanish Capes and Cassocks of Carnation Sattin , embroidred with blacke silke and gold , white frizled sleeues , and Plumes carnation & black , and answerable to the Kings colours , was all the rest of his Squadron . By and by ran the Nobilitie of the Towne of Madrid , faithfull seruants to his Maiestie ; against whom , came Don Iuan de Castilla , their Corregidor , and Don Lorenzo de Oliuares , Don Pedro de Torres , and Don Christoual de Medina seconding them , all three Regidors , Antonio de Herrera , The Towne . and Don Francisco de Garnica , maintaining the courses , and Don Gaspar de Guzman , and Don Sebastian de Contreras , ending the Squadron , al in the habite of St. Iames . Their Liuerie was of orange-coloured Sattin , embroidred with leaues of Siluer plates of Siluer , & blacke silke , Bonnets with rich setting forth , and fairely spred with Orange-colour'd Plumes .

Presantly ran the Lord Duarte , with the Count of Villamor , the encounter was braue , Don Antonio de Meneses , and the Count Pennaflor maintained it , there seconded them , Don Rodrigo Pimentel , and the Count Punnonrostro , and the Marquesse of Malagon , and the Duke of Veraguas , ended this Squadron . Their Liuerie was rich and sightly , Cape and Cassocks of tawny Sattin , embroidred with siluer and blue , cut vpon siluer tynsell , with white Pennons , and tawny Plumes .

By and by after , ran the Count of Tendilla , and the Marquesse of Mondejar his Father , the Duke of Infantado beginning the first course of the Squadron , Infantado . with their accustomed spirit and valour ; one honouring another , as the fruit doth the tree , and the Father assisting his Son , and giuing him his right hand . De Corunna , and Villar seconded them , and with rare equality , de Annouer , and de la Peubla , the Marquesse of Belmar , and Don Diego Hurtado de Mendoza , Corregidor of Toledo , ending this Squadron . The Duke ran not with the Canes , both in respect of his venerable yeeres , as also for some other indisposition of body . Their Liuerie was very fantasticall , Capes and ribbons of black damask , embroidred with branch worke of siluer , cut vpon Tynsell , with white and black Plumes . Don Pedro de Toledo . The valour of the Toledos , contested in some sort with the force of the Mendozaes , the Marquesse of Belada , and the Lord of Higares beginning the course ; the Marquesse herein shewing that agilitie and dexteritie , which with the applause of the people he shewes vpon all such occasions . In imitation of him , followed Don Luis Ponce , Nephew to the Duke of Arcos , and Don Francisco de Eraso ; and so maintaining that which was well begunne , there followed Don Antonio de Auila and Toledo , Count of Risco , with the Lord de la Horcajada : Risco , as at all other times , performed it brauely : Last of all , to conclude the rest , which was good , Don Pedro de Toledo , with Don Diego de Toledo & Guzman , ended this Squadron . Their Liuerie was , Capes of Cloth of gold , vpon the Gold embroidred with siluer , Ribbons of cloth of Siluer , embroidered with gold ; small wreath'd hat-bands , and Bonnets with white Plumes , with blacke sprigges , and open sleeues .

The last Toldeoes had scarce finished their courses , when , to continue admiration and delight , there entred the Admirall , and the Marquesse of Alcanizas , The Admirall . a worthy couple , to renowne and celebrate the place , by the sound their horses made , with the gold twisted in their manes and tayles . De Tabarra , & Count de Villalua seconded , with no lesse brauerie . In emulation of these , came in the Marquesse of Toral , chiefe of the Guzmans , and Don Antonio Moscoso , Don Diego de Silua , Marquesse de Orani , and the Count de Villaflor ending this Squadron . They had rich open sleeues , blacke Feathers strip't with gold , Ribbons and Capes of blacke Sattin ; embroidered with Gold , and cut vpon siluer tynsell .

Monte-Rey gaue occasion of new commendation and praise , with the Marquesse of Camarasa , Monte-Rey ▪ an Encounter of equall brauerie ; who were seconded by Don Iuan Carlos de Guzman , and the Count of Saluatierra , de Onate , and Don Pedro de Cardenas and Angulo , the Illustrous de Fromesta , & Don Iuan Erasco , finishing the Squadron : all as gallant in their appearance , as ready and expert vpon their Gynnets . Their Liuerie was white Sattin embossed with Gold , & black powncings , Mylan Bonnets , and blacke Plumes .

There followed the Squadron of the Marques of Castel-Rodrigo , Castel-Rodrigo . who ran with the Duke de Hijar , with such equall valour and worthinesse , that one could hardly iudge , whether it were one or two that ran , Don Lorenzo de Castro , and Don Dionis de Fare Portugals , followed , the Marques of Orellana , and Don Baltazar de Ribera . This Squadron ending in the Count de Ricla , and the Marques of Almazan . Their Liuery was of greene Sattin , imbroidered with siluer , the lining of Cloth of Siluer , and faire Bonnets , adorn'd with darke tawnie Plumes .

Their Liuery was very lustrous . Sea-water greene Sattin , imbroidered with Siluer and blacke , blacke Plumes , strip't with white , and faire and rich sleeues .

Last of all , for the last seruice of such Royall beginnings , and Princely progressions , Cea . there ranne the Duke of Cea , and the Prince of Esquilache ; the Duke bare himselfe brauely , & the Prince accompanied his own noble disposition , with martiall dexteritie , de Pennafiel , and de Valle seconded them , a worthy emulation of such Precedents : the Counts de Mejorada , and de Cantillana imitated them : this Squadron ending , in Xabalquinto , and Don Christoual de Gabiria . so speciall a runner , as vpon any occasion hee hath euer manifested : Their Liuerie was of blue Sattin , Cloake and Cassocke imbroidered with drafts , and raisings of siluer , spots of blacke Silke and Siluer , with the lining of Cloth of Siluer , blue Turbants with seeing glasses ( a witty conceit , because in the glasse of euery end and conclusion , we may behold the worthinesse of beginnings ) their Plumes were blue , large , and lustrous , which on this day were so many in number , as it seemes incredible they could euer light vpon them , though not sufficient to write such magnificent Festiuities as this , yet enow to blaze the Fame hereof to all the world . After they had quarter'd out the place backe to backe , and ranne along the sides thereof , they went to change Horses , and take in hand their Targets , making their windings and diuisions : The parties being diuided into fiue Squadrons , for each one , his Maiestie conducing some , and the Duke of Cea the rest . The Canes were runne , as beeing guided by such a Master : for certainly without allowing herein of any flatterie , or affection of a Subiect , this Maiestie ranne the best of them all , and the Lord Infante Don Carlos , shewed himselfe to be truely his Brother . The Duke of Cea , deliuered the Canes to the King , with that obseruance which becomes a Subiect to his Prince . The whole place brake forth into generall acclamations : May his Maiestie liue long and many yeeres , and London questionlesse would now re-eccho to our sounds , seeing his Maiestie made this Triumphant Show to honour her Prince , and in a time of such vehement heate , though this very day it was some-what qualified . The Festiuitie ended , and his Maiestie and his Highnesse returned to the Countesses house , where they refreshed and comforted themselues with those sweet meates , which before were left standing on the Table , eating none of the hot meat which was prouided , being aboundant and good ; There was fresh drink allow'd . This Bounty continuing from the morning till night , with three Butteries , or Cellars , aboundantly furnished . The Queene and the Lady Infanta returned to the Court , with the Lord Infante Cardinall ; and his Maiestie , and the Lord Infante Carlos , to the Pannaderia , to bring home the PRINCE of WALES , who entertained these fauours , with the same respect , and loue they deseru'd .
