Several
Histories
of
France
,
Portugal
,
Castille
,
and
other
Nations
have
very
much
laboured
to
finde
out
and
discover
from
what
Countrey
,
and
what
House
this
Prince
HENRY
deduced
his
Original
.
His
extraction
having
been
unknown
for
a
long
time
,
and
concerning
which
there
hath
been
almost
as
many
Opinions
as
Writers
.
Some
have
written
that
he
descended
from
an
Emperour
of
Constantinople
,
others
from
a
King
of
Hungary
,
some
from
William
Count
of
Bourgongne
,
brother
of
Raymond
Count
of
Outre-Soane
,
and
others
also
from
Guy
Count
of
Vernoeil
in
Normandy
,
brother
of
this
William
.
Aux
Antiquitez
de
la
Gaule
Belgique
.
Furthermore
there
are
that
report
,
that
he
was
son
of
Henry
,
Duke
and
Earl
of
Limbourg
,
and
Duke
of
Lorraine
.
Lastly
,
others
(
which
have
followed
the
Error
of
Richard
of
Vassebourg
a
Modern
Historian
)
are
of
Opinion
that
William
was
his
Father
,
who
was
called
Baron
of
Joinville
,
whom
they
make
to
be
Governor
of
Lorraine
in
the
absence
of
his
Father
the
great
Godfrey
of
Buillon
elected
King
of
Jerusalem
.
But
all
these
Opinions
,
and
Imaginary
descents
,
have
been
worthily
refuted
by
Theodore
Godefroy
Advocate
in
the
Court
of
Parliament
of
Paris
,
in
a
Treatise
which
he
hath
published
of
the
Original
of
the
Kings
of
PORTUGAL
;
having
first
revived
this
Opinion
,
and
clearly
justified
by
proofs
and
undeniable
reasons
,
that
they
are
descended
in
Line
Masculine
from
the
Royal
House
of
FRANCE
by
this
HENRY
the
chief
of
his
Branch
.
And
he
groundeth
principally
upon
the
Authority
of
the
Fragment
(
which
yet
remaineth
)
of
an
old
Latin
History
of
France
,
which
begins
at
the
decease
of
King
Robert
,
and
is
continued
to
the
Reign
of
Philip
the
first
;
An
History
composed
by
a
Monk
of
the
Abbey
of
Saint
Benedict
Lez
Fleury
upon
the
Loir
in
the
Diocess
of
Orleance
,
who
lived
in
the
time
of
the
same
HENRY
;
This
Fragment
(
with
other
Historians
)
hath
been
published
at
the
end
of
the
last
Age
by
the
Learned
Peter
Pithou
.
Note
here
the
terms
of
this
Ancient
Author
which
hath
been
translated
:
Our
design
is
not
here
to
mention
how
many
times
the
King
Andefonse
(
he
is
called
also
Alphonso
the
VI.
King
of
Castille
and
Leon
)
generously
behaved
himself
against
the
Sarazins
,
Bragm
.
Hist.
à
Rege
Roberto
ad
Philipp
.
I.
nor
the
number
of
the
Battels
in
which
he
hath
vanquished
them
.
It
's
he
which
wrested
from
them
,
and
subjected
to
his
Empire
the
strong
City
of
Toledo
.
He
espoused
Constance
daughter
of
Robert
Duke
of
Bourgongne
,
and
had
a
daughter
by
her
which
he
gave
in
marriage
to
Raymond
Count
of
Outre-Sonne
.
As
for
his
other
daughter
begotten
out
of
marriage
,
He
espoused
her
to
HENRY
one
of
the
sons
of
the
sons
of
the
same
Duke
of
BOURGONGNE
,
and
upon
the
Confines
of
Spain
,
opposed
them
both
against
the
Agarenes
.
He
nameth
also
the
Infidels
under
whose
yoke
Spain
at
that
time
mourned
,
and
of
which
they
possessed
a
good
part
.
This
is
the
more
to
be
credited
,
for
that
the
Historian
who
wrote
it
,
was
co-temporary
with
the
Prince
of
whom
we
speak
,
as
may
be
gathered
by
other
Passages
of
his
History
.

Several
give
unto
HENRY
the
Title
and
Quality
of
Count
of
PORTUGAL
,
and
agree
in
this
Point
,
that
he
was
established
Earl
thereof
in
the
Years
of
CHRIST
.
1090
year
One
thousand
fourscore
and
ten
,
by
the
King
of
Castille
his
Father
in
Law
,
who
gave
him
this
County
in
Dower
,
in
hope
(
as
this
King
did
verily
believe
)
he
would
war
upon
the
Moors
in
Portugal
,
as
Hugh
the
first
of
the
name
Duke
of
Bourgongne
his
elder
brother
had
done
in
Arragon
;
in
which
he
was
not
deceived
;
for
he
served
as
a
Rampire
to
check
the
course
of
those
Barbarians
.
But
it
is
otherwise
to
be
presumed
,
and
that
the
same
Queen
of
Castille
Constance
,
Th.
Godefroy
.
who
was
Aunt
by
the
Fathers
side
of
this
HENRY
,
and
lived
in
the
time
of
the
marriage
,
might
have
contributed
her
recommendation
for
the
attainment
of
this
Province
of
Portugal
in
Dower
:
and
Note
also
that
the
Count
of
Outre-Soan
,
who
espoused
the
other
lawfully
begotten
Daughter
of
the
same
King
,
as
we
have
said
,
had
in
Marriage
with
her
only
a
summe
of
money
.
Godefroy
is
not
only
of
this
opinion
,
for
it
was
also
followed
by
Jaques
Augustus
de
Thou
President
in
the
Court
of
Parliament
,
in
the
History
of
his
time
;
by
Prudencio

of
Pampelona
in

of

the
III.
King
of

TERESA

1089
OF
CASTILLE
.
He
left
France
in
the
Year
One
thousand
fourscore
and
nine
,
accompanied
with
a
good
number
of
Lords
for
the
succour
of
the
King
of
Castille
,
among
which
there
are
named
seven
Counts
;
the
principal
of
which
were
Raymond
the
son
of
William
Count
of
Bourgongne
,
Raymond
of
St.
Gilles
,
and

by

is

)
Rotrou

,
and
William
Viscount
of
Melun
;
they
are
all
said
to
be
at
the
same
Battel
;
for
which
cause
some
suppose
it
had
the
appellation
of
the
Seven
Counts
:
But
the
Histories
of
Spain
speak
otherwise
.
The
Count
HENRY
Ordered
the
City
of
Conimbra
for
his
principal
residence
and
that
of
his
Court
;
Vasconcellius
Anacephaloeosi
I.
and
the
City
of
Braga
for
Metropolitane
of
the
other
Churches
.
He
vanquished
and
put
to
flight
some
Moorish
Kings
at
Visco
and
Lamego
,
and
seized
also
upon
Lisbonne
(
it
hath
since
been
the
Capital
City
of
the
Kingdom
)
which
not
long
after
they
recovered
again
.
But
this
great
Prince
being
impatient
of
repose
without
honour
(
if
we
Years
of
CHRIST
.
1097
credit
some
Authors
)
undertook
the
Crossiade
with
Godfrey
of
Buillon
and
other
Princes
for
the
recovery
of
the
Holy
Land
,
where
he
performed
wonders
.
Duarte
Nunez
.
Being
upon
his
return
from
this
Voyage
(
of
which
some
make
a
doubt
)
he
vigorously
continued
his
War
against
the
Moors
,
nor
did
his
great
age
cause
him
to
discontinue
the
performance
of
his
Martial
Affairs
.
And
lastly
,
His
Death
.
Vasconcellius
.
he
dyed
at
the
Siege
of
the
City
of
Asturia
in
the
Year
One
Years
of
CHRIST
.
1112
thousand
one
hundred
and
twelve
;
being
then
aged
about
Threescore
and
ten
years
,
yet
there
be
some
that
extend
the
Course
of
his
Life
to
a
longer
period
.
He
was
inhumed
in
the
Cathedral
Church
of
the
City
of
Braga
,
Duarte
Nunez
.
which
is
one
of
the
chief
of
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
.
In
the
Year
One
thousand
five
hundred
and
thirteen
,
Diego
de
Sousa
being
then
Bishop
(
who
was
descended
from
Prince
HENRY
)
caused
a
Chappel
to
be
built
,
in
which
he
reposed
the
bones
of
this
Prince
,
and
wrote
an
Epitaph
,
which
declared
him
to
be
Son
of
a
King
of
Hungary
.
But
Edward
Nunez
,
In
his
Chronicle
of
Portugal
.
a
judicious
and
learned
person
,
hath
with
reason
refuted
the
error
of
this
Original
.
He
often
nameth
TERESA
,
Queen
,
as
being
a
Kings
Daughter
.
She
deceased
about
the
Year
One
thousand
one

Although
the

her
the

there

an

in

,
who
assures
us
that

she

.

are

Being
only
Eighteen
years
old
at
the
death
of
his
Father
,
he
was
,
by
some
of
the
Portugals
,
judged
too
young
to
undergo
and
manage
those
grand
Warres
,
begun
as
well
against
the
Moors
,
as
those
of
Leon
;
and
therefore
they
endeavoured
to
marry
Theresa
Widow
of
the
defunct
,
to
the
Count
of
Trastamare
;
who
upon
this
occasion
should
undertake
the
Government
of
Portugal
.
But
the
young
Prince
ALPHONSO
not
suffering
it
,
opposed
him
with
so
much
courage
,
that
having
Vanquished
the
Count
,
he
was
constrained
to
with-draw
.
And
nevertheless
by
the
Agreement
afterwards
setled
betwixt
them
,
he
caused
him
to
marry
his
Sister
Uracca
of
Portugal
,
as
we
have
said
before
,
by
which
we
may
presume
,
that
the
Marriage
of
Teresa
with
the
Count
of
Trastamare
was
only
proposed
.
It
's
true
,
which
we
add
,
That
ALPHONSO
so
ill
resented
his
intended
Deprivation
from
the
Government
,
that
it
urged
him
to
confine
this
Princess
to
a
Prison
,

in
which
she
finished

Whereupon
not
long
after
began
that
cruel
Warre
with
Alphonso
VII
.
King
of
Castille
and
Leon
,
his
Cousin
;
from
which
nevertheless
he
ever
came
off
with
honour
;
and
,
according
to
some
,
wounded
this
King
in
a
Battel
,
put
the
flower
of
his
Nobility

,

to

of

that
accompanied

took

.
Whom
some
believe
to
be
,
(
as
it
's
probable
she
was
)
the
Mother
of
ALPHONSO
.
Afterwards
the
Count
of
Portugal
directed
the
course
of
his
War
against
Ismar
and

other
Infidel
Kings
,

who
bowing
his
body
downward
,
and
casting
his
eyes
on

ground
,
expressed
these
words
,
ALPHONSO
,
thou
shalt
overcome
in

which
came
to

ALPHONSO
changed

,

he
did
before
bear
in
a
silver

Convened

of

made
Sacred
by

by

it
was
enacted

,
That
the
said
King
Alphonso's
son
,
Grandson
,
and
so
forward
,
should
reign
after
him
for
ever
.
But
if
the
King
have
only
daughters
,
the
eldest
should
be
Queen
after
her
father
,
upon
condition
she
be
married
to
a
Native
of

that
he
be
a

who
shall
not

,
nor
wear
a

on

nor
take

But
the
last
clause
is
most
to
be
considered
,
which
my

hath
faithfully
transcribed
out
of
the
said
Laws
.

The

After
all
these

ALPHONSO
had
attained
to
a

great
age

nevertheless
he
ceased
not
to
exercise
himself
in

,
with
his
Valiant
Son

who
seconded
him
in

hindred

the

of

he
so
richly
endowed

with
so
stupendious
a
revenue
,
that
the
famous

of
this
City
hath
a
sensible
apprehension
thereof
,
and
that
it
is
at
this
day
the
most

of

ALPHONSO

In

committing

caused

fell
out

of

the
Towns

But
FERDINAND
being
in
possession
of
the
County

,
it
repented
him
,
that
his
promises
should
deprive
him
of
the
right
which
he
pretended
to
have
to
those
Towns
that
he
had
quitted
;
This
caused
him
to
be
more
easily
induced
by
the
Princes
and
Barons
of
his
Countrey
to
alienate
himself
from
the
affection
of
the
King
of
France
,
and
to
adhere
to
the
pernitious
designs
of
his
enemies

So
it
was
,
that
this
Great
Monarch
having
put
to
Sea
with
a
confiderable
force
to
pass
into
England
,
all
the
Princes
and
Barons
of

shewed
themselves
ready
and
willing
to
accompany
him
,
except
the
Count
of

,
who
freely
declared
,
that
he
would
not
move
,
except
the
King
would
first
restore
to
him
the
Towns
he
had
from
him
.
And
although
he
had
recompence
offered
him
for
the
same
Towns
,
yet
he
returned
home
with
the
demonstration
of
ill-will
against
France

in

small
time

unwilling

recourse

sent
him
an

he
entred

with
so
little
success
,
that
he
was
forced
to
disband
his
Souldiers
,
and
secure
himself
by
retiring
to
the

(
according
to
the
Historian

and
not
ten
years
after
following
the
opinion
of
other
Writers
)
with
MAUD
OF
DAMMARTIN
Countess
of
BOLONGNE
,
eldest
daughter
of
Rainaud
Count
of
Dammartin
in
his
own
right
,
and
of
Bolongne
in
the
right
of
the
Countess
Ida
his
Wife
,
which
MAUD
was
at
that
time
Widow
to
Philip
of
France
,
younger
son
of
King
Philip
Augustus
.
This
Prince
ALPHONSO
,
after
his
Marriage
,
had
the
Title
of
Count
of
Bolongne
;
And
gave
such
notable
testimonies
of
his
Virtue
,
that
the
Pope
elected
him
Captain
of
those
Knights
of
the
Cruciada
,
who
were
judged
worthy
to
carry
their
Valour
into
the
Holy
Land
against
the
Enemies
of
our
Faith
,
but
he
was
diverted
this
Honour
,
by
the
necessity
of
his
return
into
Portugal
,
to
put
an
end
to
those
troubles
which
were
moved
by
the
ambition
of
those
who
presumed
upon
the
plyable
nature
of
King
SANCEO
II.
his
brother
.
After
he
was
come
to
the
Crown
,
he
found
difficulty
enough
to
establish
himself
,
wherefore
he
was
necessitated
to
reduce
some
Places
by
force
,
and
to
carry
himself
severely
towards
his
Nobility
.
Home-bred
stirs
being
quieted
,
Nunez
.
he
gave
his
mind
to
the
Building
of
several
Cities
of
his
Kingdom
,
and
also
Founded
two
Monasteries
of
the
Order
of
the
Jacobines
,
one
at
Lisbonne
,
the
other
at
Elvas
,
and
the
Abbey
of
Nunnes
of
the
Order
of
St
Clare
at
Santarem
;
and
furthermore
,
he
instituted
several
Fairs
for
the
increase
of
Commerce
with
his
Neighbours
,
delighting
much
in
Traffique
,
and
for
the
encouragement
thereof
,
remitting
his
Customs
.
But
as
all
these
generous
Acts
acquired
him
a
grand
reputation
,
Mariana
.
yet
he
also
underwent
an
unhappy
scandal
,
Nunez
.
for
notwithstanding
his
lawful
Wife
the
Princess
MAUD
was
then
living
,
he
endeavoured
to
violate
the
holy
Laws
of
Marriage
;
For
under
pretext
that
this
Princess
was
too
old
,
and
so
incapable
of
bringing
him
Children
,
he
espoused
another
Wife
,
(

His
2d

Marriage

and
of

,

;
some
write
,
that
the
King
of

gave
in
Dower
to
this
BEATRICE
his
daughter
,
the
Kingdom
of

,
a

ALPHONSO

gained

The
Border

are
added

Arms
of
Portugal
.
Now
MAUD
understanding
the
design
of
the
King
her
Husband
,
to
take
another
wife
;
From
France
she
undertook
a
journey
into
Portugal
,
and
there
made
her
protestations
and
opposition
against
this
unlawful
Marriage
,
which
ALPHONSO
regarded
not
,
but
slightly
passed
over
.
When
this
would
not
move
him
to
Justice
,
the
Princess
and
her
kindred
,
(
of
the
number
of
which
was
the
King
St.
Lewis
)
made
their
appeal
to
Pope
Alexander
IV.
with
whom
their
complaint
and
the
Princesses
tears
took
such
effect
,
Mariana
.
that
he
first
mildly
admonished
ALPHONSO
to
receive
again
his
lawful
wife
,
and
forsake
BEATRIX
,
but
continuing
refractory
and
stubborn
,
the
same
Pope
thundred
out
his
Excommunications
against
him
and
his
Kingdom
,
prohibiting
Divine
Service
throughout
all
his
Dominions
,
under
which
Interdiction
he
lay
the
space
of
two
years
,
and

threescore
and
two
,
when
the
Prelates
of
the
Kingdom
so
carried
the
matter
to
Pope
Urban
IV.
that
he
not
only
removed
this
Excommunication
,
but
also
approved
the
Marriage
;
this
proceeded
principally
from
the
Relation
of
kindred
the
said
Pope
had
to
the
King
ALPHONSO
,
and
for
the
peace
and
welfare
of
the
Kingdom
.
MAUD
having
made
her
last
Will
and
Testament
in
the
Year
,
One

Lastly
,
His
Death
.
King
ALPHONSO
having
lived
Threescore
and
nine
years
,
Vasconcellius
.
and
Reigned
Three
and

,
finished
his
dayes
at

the

Estate
,
in
the
Year
,
One

two
hundred
threescore
Years
of
CHRIST
.
1279
and
nineteen
.
He
received
the
honour
of
Sepulture
within
the
Church
of
St.
Dominick
in
the
same
place
;
and
from
thence
,
ten
years
after
,
his
body
was
transported
to
the
Chappel
dedicated
to
St.
Vincent
in
the
Abbey
of
Alcobace
,
where
lieth
also
Queen
Beatrix
of

his
Wife
.

.
Some
are
of
opinion
,
that
he
had
by
the
Countess
of
Bolongne
two
sons
,
the
elder
of
which
,
named
after
him
Alphonso
,
dyed
young
;
the
younger
called
Robert
,
lived
in
France
,
and
was
Count
of
Bolongne
,
from
whom
are
descended
the
other
Earls
unto
Jane
de
la
Tour
,
who
exchanged
this
County
for
that
of
Lauregais
,
and
had
issue
her
daughter
Magdelene
de
la
Tour
,
Mother
of
Queen
Katherine
de
Medicis
,
wife
of
Henry
II.
King
of
France
.
The
same
Queen
,
as
being
descended
from
Robert
,
pretended
a
right
to
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
after
the
death
of
the
Kings
Sebastian
and
Henry
.
And
at
what
time
the
Estates
were
assembled
to
Advise
of
a
Successor
to
the
Crown
,
she
sent
her
Embassadors
also
thither
to
represent
her
Right
and
Pretentions
,
as
also
did
several
other
Princes
upon
the
same
account
.
At
the
same
time
there
was
published
in
France
a
Treatise
(
which
is
reputed
to
have
for
Author
Peter
Beloy
afterwards
the
Kings
Advocate
in
the
Court
of
Parliament
of
Toulouse
)
concerning
the
right
and
lawful
succession
of
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
appertaining
to
this
Queen
Katherine
,
Mother
of
the
most
Christian
King
Henry
III.
En
Chronica

Reis
de
Portugal
.
But
the
Castillian
and
Portugal
Historians
,
among
others
Edward
Nunez
,
will
not
admit
of
this
descent
of
the
House
of
Bolongne
,
nor
that
ALPHONSO
III.
had
any
children
by
Queen
MAUD
his
first
Wife
.
But
to
confound
this
extraction
,
and
to
prove
it
only
imaginary
,
he
grounds
upon
divers
Circumstances
,
and
pregnant
Conjectures
,
which
he
particularly
toucheth
upon
in
the
Chronicle
of
the
Kings
of
Portugal
,
by
him
published
in
his
own
Language
;
Conjectures
drawn
from
the
time
,
as
also
from
the
consideration
of
the
Age
of
the
Princess
,
and
the
words
of
her
last
Testament
(
in
which
there
is
mention
made
only
of
her
daughter
by
the
first
Bed
.
)
And
lastly
,
from
the
Contents

,
and

Dispensation
,
to
the
end
that
he
and

was

both
Pious
,
Just
,

Liberal
,

,
so
singular
an
Admirer

was
so
Grand

an

that
he
was
never

to
make
breach
of
his
promise
,
often
saying
,
That
,
Nothing
was
more
offensive
,
than
an
Untruth

He
had
arrived
at
the
Eighteenth

of

at
the
death
of
his

,
at
what
time
he
took

the

his

fearing

by

Liberality

he
would
exhaust
the
Treasure

incensed

obtained
a
reconciliation
,

had
the
happiness
to
comfort
her
at

agreements

again

prejudice
,
drew
upon
himself
the
just
Armes

But
their
discords
ended
in
another

of

This

This

made
the

thereof
seem
so
wealthy
,
that
is
amounted
to
the
yearly
rent
of

Hundred

this

the
reason

Instituted
the
Military
ORDER
OF

,
The
Order
of
Christ
instituted
.
which
is
the
chief
of
the
three
Orders
of
Portugal
.
The
Knights
live
according
to
the
rule
of
the
Cistercians
,
wear
a
black
Robe
,
and
upon
that
a
Cross
Pateé
Red
,
surmounted
by
a
Plain
Cross
White
.
This
Order
was
Confirmed
by
Pope
John
XXII
.
The
King
gave
unto
the
Knights
the
Towns
and
Lands
which
the
Templars
(
but
a
little
before
abrogated
)
had
in
Portugal
,
and
for
their
principal
abode
,
the
City
of
Tomar
.
This
Prince
was
so
great
an
Admirer
of
Learning
,
that
he
established
the
Famous
University
of
Conimbra
in
his
Kingdom
.
Vasconcellius
.
He
was
a
Lover
of
Poesie
,
unto
which
he
sometimes
addicted
himself
.
And
so
much
favoured
Labouring
men
(
by
the
example
of
one
of
his
Ancestors
)
that
he
bestowed
upon
them
several
Immunities
and
Priviledges
,
giving
them
the
appellation
of
The
Nerves
of
the
Earth
.
In
Brief
,
His
excellent
Government
,
his
Ordinances
and
Rules
for
the

,
and
the
Cities
and
Towns
which
he
either
built
or
restored
;
did
deservedly
merit
him
the
name
of
Father
of
his
Countrey
.
So
that
whatsoever
his
Illustrious
Predecessors
made
themselves
Renowned

He
still
continued
in
that
unwarrantable
Hatred
towards
his
brother
Sanceo
,
whom
by
his
own
Judgement
he
banished
the
Kingdom
,
deprived
of
his
Honours
and
Dignities
,
seized
upon
his
Lands
,
and
confiscated
his

Sanceo
was
at
that
time
in

who
by
Letters
made
his
application
to
King
ALPHONSO
,
but
his
Prayers
wrought
little
effect
upon
the
hard
and
obstinate
heart
of
his
brother
,
wherefore
seeing
intreaties
would
not
soften
him
,
the
Bastard

his
supplications
could
not
obtain
,
raises

enters

into

Field
,
where
he
performs
the
like
acts
of
Hostility
,
but
at
length
an
agreement
was
made
betwixt
them
.
The
end
of
this
Warre
,
was
the
beginning
of
another
Commotion
,
betwixt
the
Father-in-law
and
the
Son
,
this
King
of

and
the
King
of

Alphonso

who
being
incensed

descended
from

)
to
his
Son
the
Prince

These
Princes
were
upon
the
point
of
another
Cruel
Warre
,
but
that
Pope
Benedict
XII
.
and
the
King
of

perfected
a
reconciliation
betwixt
them
,
shewing
these
two
Kings
the
danger
that
Spain
at
that
time
did
undergo
,
by
reason
of
the
progress
the
Moors
had
made
,
and
that
their
Armies
would
be
better
employed

which
they
resolved

the
almost
numberless
number
,

(
to
be
imagined
)
invincible
Troops
of
these
Barbarians
,
they
gave
them
a
Field
near
unto
the
River
Salado
,
in
which
famous
Battel
,
the
two
Christian
Kings
(
both
ALPHONSO's
)
engaged
them
with
so
indefatigable
and
undaunted
Resolutions
,
that
they
obtained
a
most
Famous
Victory
,
and
a
Glorious
Trophy
,
which
hapned
in
the
Year
,
One
thousand
three
hundred
and
forty
.
An
incredible
number
of
these
Infidels
were
killed
both
upon
the
Field
,
and
in
the
pursuit
.
And
if
we
will
believe
the
Castillian
Historians
,
there
dyed

Two
hundred
thousand
,
the
Portugal
Histories
say
Four

the
loss
only

twenty

These
two
Kings

reputation

reputation

Original

that
most
Unnatural

1320
Seven
and
thirtieth
year
of
his
age
,
when
his
fathers
death
made
his
way
to
the
Crown
the
end
of
whose
Reign
was
sad
and
mournful
,
occasioned
by
the
death
of

,
who
was
Daughter
of
the

John
Manuel

,
who

PETER
had
been
before
married
to
Blanche
the
daughter
of
Peter
King
of
Castille
,
whom
he
repudiated
.
This
Princess
CONSTANCE
was
Entombed
in
the
Abbey
of
St.
Francis
at
Santarem
.
Among
the
Ladies
of
Honour
which
attended
her
at
Court
,
the
principal
was
Agnes
de
Castro
,
daughter
of
Pedro-Fernando
de
Castro
,
the
most
Excellently
qualified
Lord
of
Galicia
,
Ga
ibay
.
and
nearly
related
both
to
the
Kings
of
Castille
,
Mariana
.
and
Portugal
.
This
Lady
being
adorned
with
many
beauties
both
of
body
and
mind
,
attracted
the
Affection
of
Prince
PETER
in
the
life
time
of
his
Wife
Constance
,
and
after
whose
decease
he
clandestinely
married
,
as
he
afterwards
confirmed
by
his
Solemn
Oath
.
But
some
Lords
of
the
Court
having
conceived
a
secret
envy
against
her
,
supposing
her
to
be
instrumental
to
incite
the
young
Prince
to
prefer
and
agrandize
her
relations
and
kindred
,
perswaded
the
King
Alphonso
IV.
to
put
her
to
death
;
Nunez
Vasconcellius
.
which
was
accordingly
executed
:
But
the
young
Prince
PETER
conceived
so
great
a
displeasure
and
indignation
thereat
,
that
he
not
only
took
Arms
against
his
father
,
but
put
to
cruel
torments
the
Instruments
of
this
wicked
assassination
.
During
his
whole
Reign
he
deported
himself
so
to
the
Kings
his
Neighbours
,
that
although
they
were
continually
infested
with
grand
Warres
and
troubles
,
with
which
the
Kingdoms
of
Castille
and
Arragon
were
often
afflicted
;
his
Estate
on
the
contrary
,
had
the
happiness
to
enjoy
under
him
a
blessed
and
happy
Peace
.
He
raised
two
Proud
and
Magnificent
Tombs
in
the
Abbey
of
Alcobace
,
one
for
himself
,
the
other
for
Agnes

was
to

adorned
with

,
that
he
owned
her
for
his
Queen

Also
he
caused

be
performed
at

Burial

This
gave
disgust

retired

to
Leonor
of
Arragon
,
his
first
Wife
,
by
whom
he
had
children
:
Then
three
years
after
this
Contract
,
in
May
,
Anno
,
One
thousand
three
hundred
fourscore
and
three
,
their
Marriage
was
Solemnized
at
Elvas
with
great
Magnificence
,
at
which
the
King
of
Cyprus
,
and
Charles
Prince
of
Navarre
,
were
present
.
By
reason
of
this
Marriage
the
King
of
Castille
pretended
to
have
a
right
of
Succession
to
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
,
after
the
death
of
Ferdinando
his
Wives
Father
,
and
endeavoured
therefore
to
make
himself
Master
thereof
by
the
force
of
his
Armes
.
But
that
Natural
hatred
betwixt
these
two
Nations
of
Castille
and
Portugal
,
was
so
eracinated
,
that
the
Portugals
would
not
permit
him
the
Succession
;
But
from
this
Marriage
there
came
no
children
.
So
King
John
of
Castille
dyed
in
the
Year
,
One
thousand
three
hundred
fourscore
and
ten
,
Years
of
CHRIST
.
1390
leaving
issue
by
his
first
Wife
only
,
and
not
by
Queen
BEATRIX
OF
PORTUGAL
;
who
being
yet
young
at
the
time
of
his
death
,
and
having
been
courted
by
several
other
Kings
and
Princes
,
yet
lived
a
Widow
to
the
day
of
her
death
;
and
as
an
admirable
example
of
Continence
and
Chastity
,
would
not
hearken
to
a
second
Marriage
;
saying
,
That
Ladies
Nobly
born
,
and
well
educated
,
ought
not
to
be
the
Wives
of
two
Husbands
.
A
Natural
Daughter
of
FERDINAND
King
OF

.
ISABEL
OF

,
born
in

Her
Birth
.
One

;

Being
Nine

,
was
promised
in

Prince
ALPHONSO
OF
CASTILLE
(
Vasconcellos
calls
him
Ferdinand
)
Count
of
Gigion
,
Party
de
PORTUGAL
and
Seigneur
of
Norogna
,
who
was
Natural
Son
of
Henry
II.
King
of
Castille
;
their
Marriage
was
consummated
in
the
Year
,
Her
Marriage
.
One
thousand
three
hundred
threescore
and
eighteen
,
against
the
grain
of
Alphonso
,
who
was
at
that
time
only
Eighteen
years
old
,
therefore
this
Match
gave
original
to
many
troubles
.
For
King
Years
of
CHRIST
.
1378
Henry
his
Father
moved
with
displeasure
for
that
he
neglected
his
Wife
,
deprived
him
of
all
his
Lands
and
Seigneuries
;
So
that
the
Count
was
constrained
to
fly
to
Avignion
,
where
he
made
his
complaints
to
Pope
Gregory
XI
.
and
also
to
the
King
of
France
Charles
V.
Nunez
Afterwards
having
rebelled
against
Henry
III.
he
was
besieged
within
his
County
of
Gigion
with
his
Wife
and
Children
;
And
to
compose
their
Differences
,
Charles
VI.
King
of
France
,
was
chosen
Arbitrator
,
who
understanding
the
injustice
of
his
cause
,
sent
him
back
to
his
King
,
forbidding
him
the
refuge
of
France
.
Thus
afflicted
in
the
Year
,
One
thousand
three
hundred
fourscore
and
fifteen
,
he
secretly
retired
towards
Rochel
,
where
his
Wife
ISABEL
and
his
Children
gave
him
the
meeting
,
and
where
they
had
no
assistance
but
what
came
from
the
Viscountess
of
Thouars
,
who
gave
them
the
Town
of
Marans
for
a
Habitation
.
It
's
to
be
believed
,
that
some
of
their
Children
returned
again
into
Spain
,
among
whom
was
Peter
de
Norogna
Arch-bishop
of
Lisbonne
,
Vasconcellius
.
John
de
Norogna
,
Ferdinand
Count
of
Ville-real
,
from
whom
are
descended
the
Houses
of
Ville-real
,
and
of
Meneses
;
Alphonso
had
issue
also
Sanceo
de
Norogna
Count
of
Odemira
,
who
had
Children
.
Alphonso
and
ISABEL
had
also
a
Daughter
named
Constance
of
Norogna
,
second
Wife
of
Alphonso
of
Portugal
first
Duke
of
Braganca
,
but
they
left
no
Posterity
;
In
Brief
,
the
Illustrious
House
of
Norogna
in
Portugal
,
derive
their
original
from
this
Marriage
.
The
same
Count
of
Gigion
Alphonso
had
also
three
Bastard-children
,
among
the
rest
Martin-Henriquez
who
served
Charles
VII
.
King
of
France
,
whom
he
sent
Embassadour
to
the
King
of
Castille
.
From
him
,
it
's
probable
,
is
descended
that
Family
in
the
County
of
Foix
,
who
bear
the
Name
and
Armes
of
Castille
.

His
Birth
.
The
Eleventh
day
of
April
Years
of
CHRIST
.
1357
gave
him
Birth
,
which
was
in
the
Year
,
One
thousand
three
hundred
fifty
and
seven
,
and
was
but
Seven
Year
old
when
the
King
his
Father
established
him
Grand-Master
of
the
Knights
of
the
Order
D'Avis
.
In
the
time
of
King
Ferdinand
his
Brothers
Reign
,
he
had
been
imprisoned
at
the
instance
of
Queen
Leonora
his
Wife
,
who
had
contracted
envy
against
him
,
for
having
reproved
her
too
free
and
familiar
carriage
with
the
Count
of
Andrie
:
for
which
,
neither
she
nor
the
Count
were
backward
in
the
procuration
of
his
Death
.
But
God
,
who
hath
the
disposition
of
Crowns
,
had
Ordered
it
other
wayes
.
For
JOHN
found
out
means
to
shake
off
the
Bonds
of
his
Captivity
;
and
after
the
Death
of
his
Brother
,
this
Queen
Elianora
administring
the
Affairs
of
State
,
otherwise
than
it
belonged
unto
her
,
and
continuing
in
her
unlawful
Loves
,
to
the
great
dissatisfaction
of
the
Portugues
;
They
perswaded
the
Grand-Master
to
take
away
the
life
of
this
Count
,
which
he
did
accordingly
;
by
this
act
acquiring
to
himself
so
great
an
affection
,
that
they
Proclaimed
him
,
Defender
and
Protector
of
the
Publick
Liberty
;
and
then
he
was
made
General
in
the
Warre
against
John
I.
King
of
Castille
,
who
aspired
to
the
Succession
of
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
,
in
the
right
of
Beatrix
his
Queen
,
as
we
have
told
you
before
.

But
the
people
more
willing
to
submit
to
the
Government
of
a
Prince
of
the
Blood
of
their
Natural
Kings
,
than
to
that
of
a
stranger
;
And
observing
the
lawful
Line
of
the
Heirs-Male
to
fail
in
Ferdinand
,
they
elected
this
JOHN
his
Brother
,
King
,
notwithstanding
he
was
born
out
of
Marriage
;
This
was
performed
in
a
general
Assembly
of
the
Estates
of
Portugal
,
held
in
the
City
of
Conimbra
,
in
the
Year
,
One
thousand
three
hundred
Years
of

.
1384
fourscore
and
four
.
But
this
Election
suited
not
with
the
desires
of
Prince
JOHN
,
who
told
them
that
he
was
well
content
with
that
Honourable
Title
which
had
before
been
given
him
;
But
the
Portugues
,
besides
that
hatred
they
did
bear
the
Castillians
,
considering
his
rare
qualifications
,
judged
him
more
fit
and
proper
for
the
Dignity
of
the
Crown
,
than
any
other
,
earnestly
entreating
his
acceptation
thereof
,
as
one
whom
they
judged
capable
of
defending
them
from
their
Enemies
.

The
Principal
of
which
was
the
King
of
Castille
,
who
,
incited
by
the
Queen
of
Portugal
,
Leonor
his
Wives
Mother
,
raised
a
considerable
Army
,
with
which
he
laid
a
Siege
to
Lisbonne
;
defended

City

with
so
much
resolution
,
that
after
the
Castillians
had
sate
down
before
it
some
months
,

they
were
constrained
to
raise
their
Camp
.
Upon
their
retreat
,
the
Portugues
animated
by
the
presence
of
their
generous
Prince
JOHN
,
fell
into
the
pursuit
of
them
unto

Battel
of

From

computed
the

of

Reign
of

Nunez
.
After
this
generous
exploit
,
gathering
the
fruit
of
this
his
Victory
,
he
conquered
from
his
Enemy
,
and
reduced
to
his
obedience
,
those
Cities
and
Towns
which
had
been
lost
in
the
former
Warre
.
In
the
mean
time
the
King
of
Castille
being
deceased
,
Henry
III.
his
Son
and
Successor
having
had
the
sad
experience
of
his
Fathers
losses
,
and
the
new
King
of
Portugals
successes
,
was
willing
to
let
fall
his
Fathers
pretentions
,
to
hearken
to
a
peace
at
last
concluded
betwixt
these
two
Kings
,
and
afterwards
continued
with
King
John
II.
Son
of
this
Henry
.
So
that
now
King
JOHN
OF
PORTUGAL
seeing
himself
in
the
enjoyment
of
a
happy
peace
,
and
also
in
a
good
correspondence
with
his
Neighbours
:
Notwithstanding
he
was
grown
in
years
,
that
checked
not
his
resolution
from
aspiring
unto
high
and
pious
designs
;
He
turned
his
Armes
therefore
against
the
Moors
and
Sarazens
of
Affrick
,
and
by
the
example
of
his
Valiant
Sons
,
Godefroy
.
subdued
the
strong
Town
of
Septe
,
which
stood

as
a

opposite
to

,
to
the
great
prejudice
of
the
Christians

And

to
be
of
too
small

to
Dignifie
the
numerous
issue
he
had
by
his
happy
Marriage
,
he
projected
to
acquire
them
possessions
by
the
force
of
his
Armes
,
in
other
Kingdoms
.
Insomuch
that
he
gave
beginnings
to
those
famous
Conquests
which
have
since
been
prosecuted
and
continued
by
the
illustrious
Kings
his
Successors
.
The
exercise
of
his
Armes
was
no
Remora
to
impede
the
progress
of
his
Justice
,
witness
the
Code
of
Justinian
,
Vasconcellius
.
which
he
caused
to
be
translated
into
his
own
Language
,
Nunez
.
to
the
end
his
Subjects
might
observe
it
as
his
Royal
Ordinance
;
And
for
a
Monument
of
his
Piety
,
he
founded
the
Monastery
of
the
Order
of
St.
Dominick
,
dedicated
to
the
holy
Virgin
,
giving
it
the
name
of
BATTEL
,
in
remembrance
of
that
signal
Victory
there
gained
vpon
the
Castillians
,
and
caused
it
to
be
built
in
the
same
place
where
he
was
Conquerour
.
And
because
the
Cathedral
Church
of
Lisbonne
was
first
subject
to
the
Arch-bishop
of
Merida
,
and
then
to
that
of
Braga
;
he
obtained
the
erection
thereof
into
an
Arch-bishoprick
,
from
Pope
Boniface
II.
which
was
done
in
the
Year
,
One
thousand
three
hundred
fourscore
and
ten
.
The
Magnificence
of
this
Prince
yet
appears
in
those
superb
Structures
of
several
Palaces
and
Royal
Mansions
,
which
he
built
in
the
City
of
Lisbonne
,
and
in
those
of

affectionately

that
after

the
Government

was
committed
unto
him
during

a

both
Ambitious

Envious
,
and
who
by
the
means
of
this
PETER
,
had
been
before
exalted
to
the
Dukedome
of
Braganca
,
most
ingratefully
opposed
him
,
rendred
him
a
dangerous
and
obnoxious
person
unto
the
King
their
Nephew
;
and
also
charged
him
with
a
scandalous
accusation
,
the
heads
of
which
were
,
That
he
had
performed
the
Office
of
Regent
much
to
the
prejudice
of
the
Kings
interest
:
had
got
into
his
own
hands
the
whole
treasure
of
the
Kingdom
;
and
that
also
he
designed
to
ascend
the
Throne
by
the
Deposition
of
the
King
his
Nephew
.
To
these
Articles
the
Duke
would
have
answered
,
and
cleared
himself
,
but
the
King
who
was
willing
and
apt
to
believe
any
thing
that
might
secure
him
his
Crown
,
being
possessed
with
a
prejudicate
opinion
,
would
not
hear
of
his
Answer
;
but
on
the
contrary
Resolved
to
take
him
off
.
The
Duke
had
timely
intelligence
thereof
,
who
to
avoid
the
effects
of
the
Kings
Anger
,
and
to
secure
his
person
,
shut
himself
up
in
his
Town
of
Conimbra
;
and
there
finding
that
he
could
not
be
upon
the
Defensive
part
,
without
the
Offensive
;
forgetful
of
his
Duty
;
put
himself
into
the
head
of
a
considerable
Army
,
with
which
he
marched
towards
Lisbonne
,
resolving
to
make
himself
Master
thereof
,
but
he
fell
into
the
hands
of
the
Ambushes
prepared
for
him
by

His
loss
nevertheless
was
much
lamented

He

that
by

supplication
of

Queen

it
was
brought
,
and
interred
in
the
Monastery
of
Battel
,
the
Sepulchre
of
the
Kings

Predecessors
.
This
Duke
was
so
much
the
more
Praise-worthy
,
(
following
the
footsteps
of
some
Princes
of
his
House
)
because
he
joyned

he

himself

unknown
World
.
Nunez

Mariana
.
And
because
he
might
attain
to
his
design
with
the
more
facility
,
he
addressed
himself
earnestly
to
the
study
of
the
Mathematicks
,
and
of
Astrology
,
rejecting
the
enjoyment
of
Marriage
,
as
a
thing
that
was
altogether
incongruous
to
the
designs
of
a
contemplative
Life
.
And
that
he
might
more
easily
apply
himself
to
the
Comtemplation
of
the
Starres
,
he
bestowed
a
good
part
of
his
life
upon
the
Cape
of
St.
Vincent
,
because
the
Aire
was
there
serene
and
clear
,
and
seldom
or
never
troubled
,
or
overcast
with
Clouds
.
In
fine
,
being
satisfied
in
his
Judgment
,
that
there
were
Islands
yet
undiscovered
in
the
Atlantique
Ocean
,
he
was
resolved
to
hazard
the
proof
thereof
upon
his
own
proper
costs
&
expence
:
So
that
first
of
all
he
discovered
the
Isle
of
Madera
,
so
called
,
because
of
the
Forrests
wherewith
it
was
replenished
;
he
peopled
it
with
several
Collonies
,
it
having
been
before
a
Desert
,
the
next
discovery
was
the
Canaries
,
unknown
for
a
long
time
;
in
these
Voyages
he
found
out
also
several
Ports
in
the
Atlantique
Sea
.
Lastly
,
He
so
well
instructed
the
Portugues
in
the
direction
of
their
Navigations
according
to
the
Course
of
the
Stars
,
that
with
no
less
glory
,
than
utility
,
they
have
made
large
Conquest
in
Affrick
near
unto
Ethiopia
,
and
of
several
Isles
in
the
main
Ocean
,
and
the
Indies
.
And
that
he
might
more
commodiously
attend
upon
his
affairs
,
towards
the
end
of
his
life
,
this
Generous
Prince
established
his
Habitation
at
Sagra
in
the
Kingdom
of
the
Algarves
,
at
the
Cape
called
Sacra
,
from

Port

The

in

of

.
at
the
Siege
of

,
which
succeeded
not
according
to
his
desire
;
Vasconcellius
.
so
that
for
the
accomplishment
of
a
Treaty
which
he
made
with
the
Moors
,
into
whose
hands
he
promised
to
render
in
a
certain
time
the
City
of
Septe
,
he
was
constrained
to
give
them
in
Hostage
the
Prince
Ferdinand
his
Brother
,
who
dyed
in
their
hands
;
The
Estates
of
Portugal
thinking
it
not
reasonable
to
quit
unto
those
Infidels
a
place
of
so
great
importance
.
It
was
also
in
the
beginning
of
his
reign
,
that
the
Popes
Martin
V.
then
Eugenius
IV.
assembled
the
Council
of
Basil
,
at
which
all
the
Christian
Princes
were
exhorted
to
give
their
assistance
;
King
EDWARD
resolved
to
go
thither
in
person
.
Idem
.
But
the
grand
affairs
that
at
this
time
lay
upon
his
hands
,
impeaded
his
Journey
.
For
to
supply
which
default
,
he
sent
thither
a
Solemn
Embassade
,
of
which
Alphonso
Bishop
of
Porte
,
and
the
Count
of
Ouren
were
chief
.
They
obtained
of
the
Pope
,
That
from
that
time
forward
the
Knights
of
the
Military
Orders
of
St.
James
,
and
St.
John
,
should
be
dispensed
for
Marriage
.
As
also
that
the
Kings
of
Portugal
might
from
that
time
be
Anointed
and
Sacred
as
the
Kings
of
England
were
.
The
same
King
EDWARD
was
of
a
temper
couragious
,
and
that
which
is
rare
in
a
Prince
,
joyned
the
exercise
of
Armes
with
the
knowledge
of
Letters
and
Sciences
;
Mariana
.
and
so
earnestly
dedicated
himself
to
the
study
of
Philosophy
,
that
he
composed
many
rare
and
excellent
Works
;
among
others
,
a
Treatise
of
the
Administration
of
Justice
,
and
the
Duty
of
a
Prince
,
another
of
the
Office
of
the
Faithful
Councellour
,
and
a
third
also
of
the
Art
of
Riding
and
Managing
of
Horses
.
His
Eloquence
and
Piety
History
makes
famous
.
He
was
a
favourer
of
Learned
men
,
and
of
all
those
that
he
observed
to
be
excellent
in
any
Art
,
giving
them
access
to
his
person
,
and
conferring
familiarly
with
them
,
for
the
advantage
and
information
of
his
judgement
.
Among
those
evils
wherewith
he
was
afflicted

Vasconcellius

that

the
most
fatal
,
which
hapned
in

from

up

by

Lord

After
he
had
approved
his
Valour
in

War
against

Infidels

of

;
being
inspired
with
devotion
,
aand
contempt
of

things
;
He
forsook
the
world
,

took

him
a
Religious
habit

in
the
Convent
of
the
Carmelite
Friers
of
Lisbonne
;
which
he
founded
,
and
where
he
lived
most
Religiously
:
Yet
afterwards
he
had
given
him
the
Bishoprick
of
Septe
in
Affrick
;
and
then
that
of
Ingonte
.
In
fine

King

invited
him
to

he
gave
him

He
was
but
six
years
old
when
he
succeeded
to
the
Crown
.
His
minority
causing
great
agitations
for
the
Regency
,
his
Grandees
having
revolted
from

Mother

Uncle
by
the
Fathers
side
to
the
young
King
,
carried
it
,
as
we
have
before
written
.
And
notwithstanding
this
Prince
had
prudently
and
faithfully
administred
the
affairs
of
State
,
yet
some
persons
envious
at
his
Virtue
,
having
given
the
King
some
evil
Impressions
concerning
him
,
he
was
easily
induced
to
Commence
a
War
with
the
Duke
,
which
he
so
sharply
prosecuted
,
that
he
gave
a
total
rout
to
his
Army
,
and
kill'd
him
upon
the
Field
,
which
Action
was
the
more
unnatural
and
tragical
,
His
first
Marriage
.
because
the
same
Duke
had
a
double
relation
to
this
King
,
both
by
Affinity
,
and
Blood
;
for
(

been
espoused
to

But
it
often
falls
out
,
that
Passion
,
that
dangerous
Counseller
of
Princes
,
shuts
her
eyes
to
all
manner
of
Respects
.
This
War
being
stifled
,
the
King

,
by
the
example
of
his
Grand-sire
and

,
turned
his
Arms

He
had
made
a
promise
to
Pope

,
to
fall
upon
the
Turk
in
Asia
,
and
for
that
purpose
had
accepted
the
Crossiade
:
but
the
death
of
that
Soveraign
Bishop
hapning
in
the
mean
time
,
he
cancelled
that
design
of
assaulting
the
Turk
.
Nevertheless
he
resolved
to
pass
into
Affrick
,
and
to
make
his
way
,
transported
a
good
Army
,
besieged
the
Fort
of

he
subdued

1463
Four
years
after
ALPHONSO
made
his
second
expedition
into
Affrica
,
but
not
attended
with
the
former
success
.
Afterward
he
set
Sail
the
third

for
that
Countrey
,
better
accompanied
than
before

For
he
transported
Thirty
thousand
men
,
with
whom
he
reduced
the
strong
City
of
Arzille
,
at
the
assault
of
which
he
gave
such
proof
of
his
Valour
,
and
became
so
terrible
to
the
Infidels
,
that
they
also
quit
and
abandoned
the
City
of
Tangier
.
But
as
he
made
his
entrance
into
the
same
City
,
the
loss
of
his
Uncle
Ferdinand
coming
into
his
memory
afresh
,
somewhat
allayed
the
satisfaction
he
received
in
the
Prize
of
this
place

Also

many
memorable

So
ALPHONSO
being
a
Widower
,
took
a
resolution
to
marry
a

for

her
in

One

,
others
say
that
it
was
in
the
year
following
;
then
having
been
proclaimed
Kings
of

after
the
death
of
Henry
,
they
sent
their
Summons
to
Ferdinand
King
of

,
and
his
Wife
the
Princess
Elizabeth
of
Castille
Sister
of
Henry
,
who
pretended
to
be
true
and
lawful
Heir
,
to
desist
from
the
enterprize
which
they
endeavoured
upon
the
Kingdom
of
Castille
,
maintaining
that
Jane
was
not
Daughter
of
King
Henry
,
for
all
that
he
had
owned
her
for
such
by
his
Testament
,
and
for
his
Heir
.
But
this
Summons
was
of
little
effect
,
for
they
ceased
not
by
the
strength
of
their
great
Forces
,
and
those
of
their
partakers
,
to
maintain
themselves
in
the
Title

usurped
,
and
in

Actual

was

reason

To

of

came
in

with

;
the
Armies
being
come
to

they

much

of

not
in

point
;
)
nevertheless
they
were
not
forced
to
raise
their
Siege
.
The
King
of
Portugal
having
recruited
his
Army
with
a
good
number
of
Souldiers
,
came
to
another
engagement
with
the
Army
of
Ferdinand
,
but
the
issue
of
this
second
Battel
was
contrary
to
the
other
:
Vasconcellius
.
For
he
was
vanquished
,
and
unfortunately
put
to
flight
,
which
gave
an
absolute
check
to
the
course
of
his
designs
,
and
of
ever
arriving
at
his
pretentions
in
Castille
.
Likewise
also
the
Marquess
of
Villena
,
and
other
Lords
of
his
party
,
being
suborned
,
and
corrupted
with
gifts
,
abandoned
him
,
and
ranged
themselves
on
the
stronger
side
,
being
that
of
Ferdinand
.
The
Arragonians
took
this
advantage
;
and
to
confirm
their
cause
,
obtained
a
Bull
from
the
Pope
,
which
he
made
to
be
published
in
Castille
,
by
which
the
Marriage
of
King
ALPHONSO
with
Jane
,
was
declared
null
,
and
of
no
validity
,
notwithstanding
it
was
Consummated
by
his
Authority
,
and
according
to
his
Rescript
:
But
he
declared
that
,
by
that
his
Bull
he
had
been
circumvented
.
In
this
extremity
the
Portuguesses

stood
upon

guard
,
hoping

find

And

from
whom
they
only
received
a
fair
reception
,
and
good
words
;
for
it
fell
out
to
be
in
that
nick
of
time
that
Lewis
had
made
a
League
with
Ferdinand
,
that
he
might
the
better
prosecute
the
War
with
the
Count
of
Roussillion
,
so
that
the
grand
affairs
that
he
had
at
that
time
against
Charles
Duke
of
Bourgongne
,
would
not
permit
him
to
give
succours
to
ALPHONSO
;
Philip
de
Commines
.
It
's
the
judgement
of
an
Historian
of
that
time
,
that
if
he
had
assisted
him
,
it
's
very
probable
he
might
have
brought
his
Enemy
to
a
Composition
,
and
to
that
point
which
he
desired

Vasconcellius
.
Then
in
this
despair
observing
that
all
things
went
contrary
to
his
expectation
,
Mariana

he
designed
to
perform
(
as
a
private
and
unknown
person
)
the
Voyage
to
Jerusalem
;
where
in
his
youth
he
had
made
a
Vow
to
go
fight
the
Turks
,
which
he
had
undertaken
,
had
not
he
been
diverted
by
the
King
of
France
.
At
his
return
into
Portugal
,
he
found
the
Prince

commanding

So
ALPHONSO
constrained
to
submit
to
Time
and

Fortune
,
looked
upon
a
Peace
as
the
best
expedient
he
could
make
use
of
with

,
by
which
he
excluded
himself

This
Peace
was
confirmed
and
Sealed
by
the
agreement
of
several
Marriages
contracted
betwixt
the
Children

the

:
It
being
remarkable
,
that
in
the
Treaty
of
this
Peace
,
it
was
particularly
declared
,
That
it
should
continue
the

Incertain
for

But
this
limited
number
proved
Prophetical
.
For
the
time
an
hundred

years
,
continued
from
the
end
of
this
War
,
until
that
in
the
Year

,
this

was
subdued

Philip

descended

against

himself

thereof

So
that
the
words
and

of
the
Treaty
of
Peace
,
did
at
last
meet
with
the
quality
of
the
Event

Now
ALPHONSO

with
indignation

that
the
Queen

had
been
deprived
of
that
Right

she
had
to

vexed
with
the
sinister
events
that
had
hapned

principally
that

In
his
younger
years
he
behaved
himself
with
so
much
Gallantry
in
the
second
expedition
of
Affrica
,
but
more
particularly
at
the
prize
of
Argesille
from
the
Moors
,
that
the
King
his
Father
conferred
upon
him
the
Order
of

Vasconcellius

Afterwards
also
he
gave
testimony
of
a
great
Courage
in
the
Warre
of
Castille
;
And
upon
Alphonso's
journey
into
France
,
he
commanded
this
young
Prince
to
take
upon
him
the
Government
of
his
Estate
,
with
the
Title

At

him
to

quality
,
during

absence
in

,
as
a
good
Son
,
he
refused
this
proffer
,
and
relinquished
the
Dignity
of
King
;
saying
,
That
he
received
a
much
greater
contentment
to
see
his

re-established

that

he
succeeded
him
,
and
took
in
hand
the
Scepter
,
when
he
was
of
the
age
of
Six
and
twenty
years
.
No
sooner
was
he
mounted
upon
the
Throne
,
but
he
caused
Justice
severely
to
be
administred
,
without
exception
,
permitting
the
Judges
,
and
other
Ministers
of
State
,
to
seize
upon
the
Malefactors
wheresoever
they
were
to
be
found
,
not
exempting
the
Houses
of
the
Grandees
it self
,
notwithstanding
that
Priviledge
,
and
Antient
Custom
that
might
be
alledged
to
the
contrary
.
This
caused
many
of
his
own
Relations
wickedly
to
plot
against
him
,
and
to
hold
intelligence
,
and
contrive
conspiracies
,
with
the
Castillian
to
his
ruine
.
The
Chief
of
these
were
Ferdinand
Duke
Years

.
1483
of
Braganza
,
and
James
Duke
of
Visco
;
the
contrivances
and
pernitious
designs
of
the
first
having
been
manifestly
discovered
by
his
own
Letters
at
his
Indictment
,
so
that
being
convicted
,
he
was
condemned
,
Vasconcellius
.
and
then
publickly
executed
,
and
his
Goods
confiscated
;
which
so
much
amazed
some
of
them
,
that
they
fled
into
Castille
.
But
for
all
this
the
audacity
of
the
Conspirators
was
such
,
that
they
ceased
not
yet
to
contrive
the
death
of
the
King
,
of
which
he
had
information
,
and
not
long
after
got
the
Duke
of
Visco
into
his
power
,
where
he
lost
his
life
,
being
assassinated
by
the
Kings
own
hand
.
The
severity
of
which
action
,
hath
by
some
been
called
Inhumanity
,
&
Cruelty
:
but
this
default
was
recompenced
with
several
perfections
of
Body
and
Soul
,
with
which
he
was
adorned
.
He
designed
to
prosecute
the
high
and
glorious
designs
of
the
King
his
Father
for
the
Discovery
and
Conquests
of
strange
Regions
,
proposing
a
beginning
by
the
Western
Coast
of
Ethiopia
,
History
of
Portugal
.
and
giving
Commission
to
John
Cane
a
Portugal
Knight
,
to
search
out
a
Countrey
which
is
on
the
other
side
the
Equator
,
where
being
arrived
,
he
found
it
to
be
the
Kingdom
of
Congo
,
the
inhabitants
whereof
were
so
humane
,
and
docile
,
that
some
of
them
suffered
themselves
to
be
brought
into
Portugal
,
and
there
,
with
the
Language
,
they
were
instructed
in
the
Principles
of
the
Christian
Religion
,
and
then
Baptized
.
At
their
return
they
perswaded
their
King
and
his
Subjects
also
to
be
Baptized
.
With
this
King
,
and
with
others
of
Ethiopia
JOHN
entred
into
League
,
and
caused
in
this
Countrey
to
be
raised
the
Cittadel
of
St.
George
,
since
called
,
the
Mine
,
from
which
the
Kings
his
Successors
have
extracted
a
good
quantity
of
Gold
.
In
the
beginning
of
this
Voyage
the
Portuguesses
having
arrived
at
a
Cape
,
which
by
estimation
is
the
greatest
of
the
World
,
they
conceived
so
happy
success
in
their
enterprise
,
by
the
advantage
thereof
,
that
they
gave
it
the
appellation
of
,
The
Cape
of
good
Hope
,
antiently
being
called
the
Front
of
Affrica
;
it
opened
them
the
way
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Estate
of
the
Indian
Princes
,
and
to
penetrate
further
into
Ethiopia
,
where
they
found
reigning
that
Prince
,
which
we
vulgarly
call
Prester
John
;
because
he
is
named
in
his
Language
,
Belulgian
,
which
signifieth
,
A
Precious
Stone
of
incomparable
excellence
,
a
Title
and
old
Sirname
usurped
by
the
Antient
Emperours
of
Ethiopia
,
who
maintain
themselves
to
be
descended
from
the
Blood
of
Solomon
by
the
Queen
of
Saba
.
Some
time
after
the
same
King
JOHN
II.

sent
a
great
Army
into
Affrica
,
which
landed
in
the
Isle
of
Gesire
,
which
is
the
mouth
of
the
River
Luc
,
where
the
Portuguesses
endeavoured
to
raise
a
Fort
against
the
impeachments
of
the
King
of
Fez
;
but
this
King
,
after
he
had
cut
off
their
passage
of
retreat
,
forced
them
to
quit
their
prize
,
and
by
composition
to
return
into
their
own
Countrey
.
In
the
mean
time

advertised

Donation

King
of

,
by

Alexander
VI.
of
those
new
Regions
which
had
been
discovered
by
his
Subjects
,
the
Portugal
being
interessed
therein
,
as
prejudicial
to
the
discovery
that
for
his
part
he
had
made
upon
the
Coast
of
Ethiopia
,
for
this
reason
entred
into
a
difference
with
the
Castillian
;
which
caused
the
Pope
on
his
own
accord
,
to
give
unto
King
Ferdinand
the
Indies
newly
found
out
,
and
to
the
King
of
Portugal
the
Coast
of
Affrica
:
But
to
the
intent
that
the
one
might
not
attempt
any
thing
upon
the
other
,
he
caused
to
be
drawn
upon
the
Globe
a
Line
falling
from
North
to
South
,
which
passed
towards
the
West
,
above
Four
hundred
miles
distant
from
the
Isles

,
that
it
might
not
touch

This
,
with

violent
Actions
of

drew
upon
him

odium
of
several
persons

The

Grand-father
by

had
issue
a
younger
Son
,
who
carried
the
name
of
Ferdinand
,
and
was
Duke
of
Visco
,
who
by
a
Princess
of
his
own
Blood
(
called
Beatrice
,
daughter
of
his
Uncle
John
of
Portugal
,
Grand
Master
of
the
Order

James
,
and
Constable
of

)
had
among
other
Children
this
King

born
in

in

His
Birth

1469
He
was
first
honoured
with
the
Title
of
Duke
of
Beia
;
then
being
in
the
Six
and
twentieth
year
of
his
age
,
succeeded
to

Crown
of

death
of

dying
without

Year

One

and
five
.
Years
of
CHRIST
.
1495
First
of
all
he
called
a
General
Council
,
in
which
he
put
the
Question
,
Hier.
Osorius
in
Hist
.
Reg.
Emanuel
.
Mariana
.
Whether
he
should
prosecute
,
or
decline
the
designs
of
the
King
his
Predecessor
for
the
Conquest
of
new
discoverie
;
after
the
deliberation
,
and
advice
required
in
a
matter
of
that
moment
,
it
was
resolved
,
That
he
was
obliged
to
prosecute
them
,
as
well
for
the
Honour
,
as
the
Profit
and
great
advantage
,
that
would
thereby
accrue
to
him
and
his
Estate
.
Then
being
set
on
edge
by
the
example
of
the
Kings
of
Castille
his
Neighbours
,
who
had
made
discovery
of
the
West-Indies
,
he
endeavoured
for
his
part
to
find
out
with
his
Ships
,
all
that
Countrey
on
the
further
side
the
Cape
of
Good
Hope
(
at
which
the
Fleet
of
King
John
II.
had
before
arrived
)
unto
the
East-Indies
,
from
whence
he
knew
that
the
precious
Stones
,
Spices
,
Drouges
,
Perfumes
,
Medicinals
,
and
other
singular
and
precious
commodities
were
imported
for

accommodation
of

.

.
1499
So
that
in
the
Year
,
One
thousand
four
hundred
fourscore
and
nineteen
,
Osorius
.
he
sent
Vasquez

a
Portugal
Gentlemen
with
four
Ships
,
who
in
two
years

discovered
the
whole
Western
Coast
of
Ethiopia
,
with
the
Isles
of
Quiola
,
Mosambique
,
Monbaze
,
Melinde
,
and
at
last
arrived
at
the
Kingdom
of
Malabar
,
otherwise
called
Calecur
,
so
named
from
the
Capital
City
so
named
,
which
is
the
place
of
all
the
East
most
frequented
by
the
Merchants
,
and
from
whence
the
greatest
quantity
of
Spices
is
shipped
for
this
part
of
the
world
.
Wherefore
after
that
the
Portuguesses
had
been
favourably
received
by
the
King
of
this
Countrey
,
and
observed
with
great
danger
(
which
was
occasioned
by
the
unfaithfulnesse
of
the
Moors
)
that
which
they
,
knew
their
Prince
EMANUEL
to
be
most
desirous
of
,
they
returned
to
bring
the
honour
to
their
Countrey

the
Discovery
of
things
not
known
,
nor
seen
,

so
wrought
upon

that
they
changed

became

This
was
the

also

with

sent
to

discovered
the

,

then
delivered
from

subdued
the
Isle

compelled

But
we
cannot
without

inform

,
being
a
thing
which
surpasseth
almost

,
that

One
thousand
five
hundred

,
the
Ambassadour
of
David
King
of
Ethiopia
arrived
in
Portugal
,
sent
to
negotiate
a
Peace
with
King
EMANUEL
;
so
much
was
the
Renown
of
his
Puissance
and
Authority
spread
almost
over
the
whole
Universe
.
But
the
sweetness
of
so
much
Prosperity
,
was
at
last
somewhat
distempered
with
the
bitterness
of
Adversity
;
when
in
the
same
year
,
one
of
the
Portugal
Armies
consisting
of
a
considerable
number
of
Ships
,
was
at
their

defeated

that
of

For
as
this

Monarch
in
all
his
famous
Designs
,
made
the
glory
,
and
advancement
of
the
service
of
God
his
principal
end
;
so
had
he
a

and

And
for
other
Monuments
of
his

Piety
,
he
caused
to
be
built
several
Temples
,
which
he
richly
endowed
;
he
did
the
like

Church

also

Besides

he

also
the

to
convert
unto

,
a

number
of

,
and
to
exterminate

caused
several

Also
by
his
Wisdom
,
and
by
so
many
signal
Acts
,
and
prosperous
Voyages
,
he
rendered

abounding
in

so
that
the
Portuguesses
called
his

The

Age.
He
was
furthermore
admired
for
his
Sobriety
,
and
to
have
abstained
from

An
Historian
writes
,
that
among
the
pretenders
that
were
strangers
,
the
Portuguesses
were
more
inclined
to
him
,
than
to
any
other
;
and
this
inclination
proceeded
from
the
opinion
they
had
,
that
in
regard
of
the
quality
of
his
person
,
he
was
fitter
than
any
other
to
defend
them
from
their
enemies
,
and
if
need
were
,
he
might
vigorously
resist
King
Philip
if
he
should
stirre
,
both
by
reason
of
his
Valour
,
and
for
the
means
he
had
to
molest
him
in
his
Dutchy
of
Millain
,
joyning
unto
Piedmont
,
using
chiefly
the
Alliance
and
Neighbourhood
he
had
with
the
French
,
who
laid
claim
to
that
Dukedom
.
But
his
pretentions
succeeded
not
according
to
his
desire
,
for
he
dyed
immediately
after
this
overture
was
made
.

At
the
age
of
Twenty
years
he
succeeded
to
the
Crown
of
his
Father
,
and
wanted
no
courage
to
continue
his
high
designs
,
as
well
to
maintain
himself
in
those
memorable
Conquests
,
that
he
had
so
happily
accomplished
,
as
for
the
gaining
of
other
Isles
,
Kingdoms
,
Cities
,
and
Countries
.
To
this
effect
Nonio
Acuna
his
Viceroy
in
the
Indies
,
took
and
ruined
the
Isle
of
Bethleem
,
then
subjected
Bacin
and
Daman
,
two
famous
Indian
Cities
,
slew
Sultan
Baduc
the
puissant
King
of
Cambaie
,
and
subjected
the
City
of
Dium
,
where
he
built
a
Cittadelle
.
The
success
the
Christians
had
in
these
parts
,
so
perplexed
the
Turk
,
that
he
sent
a
powerful
Fleet
commanded
by
the
Bassa
of
Egypt
,
to
drive
the
Portugals
from
Dium
and
other
places
,
which
they
had
in
that
Countrey
:
This
Army
joyned
with
that
of
Cambaie
,
but
at
the
rencounter
they
received
so
sharp
a
welcome
from
the
Defendants
commanded
by
Antonio
Silueria
,
Vasconcellius
.
that
a
great
number
of
them
were
kill'd
upon
the
place

Nine
years
after
this
,
the

,
was
with
much
resolution

maintained
by
John
Mascaregna
,
against
the
Sultan
Mamudin
,
not
less
notorious
than
the
other
,
being
that
then
also
the
Turk
assisted
the
Indian
with
his
Forces
.
The
like
success
smiled
for
a
time
upon
the
Christians
at
Safin
in
Africa
,
where
they
valiantly
endured
Six
months
Siege
by
the
Cherifs
Army
consisting
of
an
hundred
thousand
Souldiers
,
but
not
long
after
the
Cherif
or
King
of
Suez
worsted
the
Portuguesses
,
which
so
much
cooled
their
resolutions
,
that
King
JOHN
deliberated
to
abandon
all
his
Forts
of
Affrica
,
the
more
firmly
to
settle
and
establish
himself
in
the
Indies
,
Guineé
,
and
Brasille
,
but
this
councel
was
not
followed
,
for
only
quitting
and
dismantling
the
Inland
Forts
,
he
retained
,
and
fortified
the
Port
Towns
of
Septe
,
Tangier
,
and
Mazagan
,
with
all
things
necessary
for
a
resistance

This
King
JOHN
obtained
from
the
Pope
,
That
the
City
of
Evora
should
be
erected
into
an
Arch-bishoprick
,

Cities
of

.
Following
the
steps
of
the
King
his
Father
,
to
him
was
attributed
the
honour
of
having
planted
the
Gospel
in
the
Eastern
parts
of
Asia
,
in
Ethiopia
the
Higher
,
and
other
remote
Provinces
;
as
also
in

,
where
he
sent
that
famous
Jesuite
Francis
Xauier
,
afterwards
Canonized
,
the
fruit
of
whose
labours
appeared
in
the
conversion
of
many
Infidels
to
the
faith
.
Insomuch
that
it
's
remarkable
,
that
under
the
happy
Reign
of
this
Prince
JOHN
,
there
were
twelve
Pagan
Kings
baptized
,
with
the
greater
part
of
their
people
.
He
performed
many
other
profitable
works
for
the
advancement
of
Piety
;
caused
several
Monasteries
to
be
reformed
according
to
their
Antient
Rules
,
and
was
one
of
the
first
Kings
that
favoured
,
and
greatly
encreased
the
Order
of
the
Society
of
Jesus
,
for
whom
he
erected
several
Colledges
in
Portugal
,
and
his
other
Dominions
.
Nunius
.
He
was
a
devout
Prince
,
and
naturally
so
benigne
and
clement
,
that
he
even
shewed
himself
slow
in
Ordering
punishment
to
the
Malefactors
,
and
when
Judgment
was
given
against
such
,
(
which
he
did
in
person
once
a
week
)
he
rather
inclined
to
Forgiveness
,
than
Condemnation
.
A
Lover
he
was
of
Peace
and
Tranquility
,
a
favourer
of
persons
of
merit
,
and
parts
,
having
given
entertainment
in
his
Kingdom
to
strangers
of
divers
professions
.
He
transferred
the
University
of

to
Conimbra
,
V●sconcellius
.
and
richly
endowed
it
,
augmented
the
Salaries
of
the
publick
Professors
,
and
rendred
this
Achademy
one
of
the
most
famous
of
Europe
.
He
raised
also
several
proud
Structures
at
Evora
,
and
restored
the
Aquaeduct
of
this
City
,
which
place
he
so
much
delighted
in

that
he
made
it

being
but
Three
years
old
,
he
succeeded
to
the
Crown
of
Portugal
,
and
during
his
minority
,
was
under
the
Government
of
Queen
Katherine
of

.
But
afterwards
this
Princess
,
not
being
able
to
undergo
so
great
a
charge
as
that
of
the
Regency
,
transferred
it
by
the
Estates
to
Cardinal
Henry
,
great
Uncle

the
Fathers
side
to
King
SEBASTIAN
;
who
having
attained
to
the
Fourteenth
year
of
his
age
,
began
to
take
the
Reins
of

into
his
own
hand

.
The
Moors
taking
advantage
by
the
infirmity
of
his
age
,
thought
it
now
a
fit
time
to
endeavour
the
reduction
of
some
of
his
best
Garisons
in
Affrica
.
So
that
Mahomet
King
of
Mauritania
,
the
Son
of
Cherif
Abdala
,
came

with

and

with

,
and
had

by
Roderick

defended

of
Three
months
,
they
had
carried

No
better
was
the

of

Infidels
Ten
years
after
,
when
they
Years

1572
undertook
the
same
design
upon
the
Towns
of
Goa
,
and
Chiaule
.
For
Attaida
and
Mascaregna
so
resolutely
opposed
,
that
after
Six
months
Siege
before
the
one
,
and
Nine
before
the
other
,
they
were
forced
to
retire
with
loss
and
shame
.
Now
was
King
SEBASTIAN
in
the
Twentieth
year
of
his
age
,
who
being
of
an
able
Body
,
and
of
a
Couragious
,
and
Martial
Soul
,
not
content
with
those
Dominions
which
he
possessed
,
resolved
to
make
Conquest
of
new
,
not
considering
,
that
this
design
was
not
to
be
effected
,
without
great
hazard
,
and
in
the
alteration
of
that
repose
his
Kingdom
had
so
long
enjoyed
.
He
had
first
designed
a
War
against
the
Indians
,
but
that
his
Kinsmen
and
Subjects
would
not
consent
unto
.
But
as
there
was
some
difficulty
wholly
to
withdraw
the
young
Prince
(
who
had
a
Warlike
spirit
)
from
this
Enterprise
,
such
as
were
near
him
,
laboured
to
divert
him
by
means
of
another
which
they
laid
before
him
,
turning
all
his
Resolution
upon
Affrick
,
to
engage
the
Moors
which
live
in
that
part
called
Mauritania
Tingitana
,
where
the
Portugals
maintained
(
to
their
great
Charge
)
upon
the
Coast
of
Barbary
,
the
three
Fortresses
of
Septe
,
Tangier
,
and
Magazon
,
the
In-let
and
Key
of
Spain
,
by
which
the
Moors
have
heretofore
conquered
it
;
But
this
diversion
whereunto
they
perswaded
the
King
,
produced
sad
effects
,
principally
proceeding
for
want
of
Judgment
,
for
although
it
were
difficult
wholly
to
disswade
him
from
the
expedition
of
India
,
and
therefore
convenient
to
represent
unto
him
some
other
Action
;
yet
should
they
advisedly
have
foreseen
,
not
to
divert
him
from
one
mischief
,
to
thrust
him
into
a
greater
.
The
young
King
stayed
not
long
to
put
this
design
in
execution
.
For
in
the
Year
,
One
thousand
five
hundred
threescore
and
fourteen
,
he
assembled
Years
of
CHRIST
.
1574
(
against
the
inclination
of
his
best
Friends
)
certain
of
his
Souldiers
,
King
Sebastian's
first
Voyage
into
Affrica
.
and
with
four
Gallies
,
and
some
Ships
,
and
Carvels
passed
into
Affrica
,
under
colour
of
visiting
his
Forts
,
Co●●staggio
.
although
he
really
desired
to
effect
more
than
he
made
shew
of
;
There
they
came
to
some
Skermishes
with
the
Moors
,
at
which
he
was
almost
alwayes
found
in
person
,
where
discovering
his
own
weakness
,
and
vexing
himself
that
he
could
not
perform
what
he
desired
;
He
returned
back
to
Lisbonne
,
still
devising
some
new
manner
of
War
,
which
so
disquieted
his
conceit
,
that
he
neither
said
nor
did
any
thing
to
other
end
;
deliberating
not
as
a
King
,
but
as
a
private
Souldier
,
to
accustom
his
body
to
labour
,
intending
thereby
to
habituate
himself
more
to
the
hardships
and
miseries
of
War
.
This
inclination
(
in
which
the
heavens
had
some
part
)
was
not
contradicted
by
any
of
his
Council
;
For
although
these
actions
of
the
Kings
were
rash
,
yet
Ambition
,
and
fear
of
his
displeasure
,
were
of
such
force
,
That
the
Nobility
,
Magistrates
,
and
other
persons
(
who
might
have
forced
him
)
durst
not
open
their
mouths
,
nor
oppose
themselves
against
his
Will
;
and
if
any
did
mutter
or
speak
to
the
contrary
,
they
were
men
of
base
Quality
,
and
not
admitted
.
The
Cardinal
Henry
his
great
Uncle
,
Brother
to
John
III.
Conestaggio
.
his
Grandfather
,
and
Queen
Katherine
(
in
whom
Flattery
should
have
found
no
place
)
had
small
credit
with
the
King
,
neither
did
they
use
the
Authority
they
might
have
had
,
both
fearing
they
should
not
prevail
;
but
lose
(
with
the
Kings
disgrace
)
that
small
command
was
yet
remaining
in
them
:
So
as
by
a
fatal
silence
,
they
suffered
this
young
Prince
for
the
second
time
to
return
into
Affrica
.
And
the
more
to
enflame
King
SEBASTIAN
,
it
fortuned
that
Muley
Mahomet
chased
out
of
the
Kingdom
of
Morocco
by
his
Uncle
Muley
Moluc
,
endeavoured
his
re-establishment
by
the
aide
of
the
Christians
;
Errera
.
and
for
this
purpose
entreated
succours
from
SEBASTIAN
,
perswading
this
King
,
that
by
the
advantage
of
those
Friends
that
he
could
make
in
his
own
Kingdom
,
he
should
be
able
to
defeat
Moluc
,
and
to
open
him
a
way
to
trace
the
whole
Empire
of
Morocco
.
SEBASTIAN
drawn
on
by
this
vain
hope
,
Vasconcellius
.
embraced

Moors
offer
,
and
finding
himself
not
able
to
perform
this
expedition
without
another
Confederate
,
endeavoured
to
draw
into
this
Action
his
Uncle
by
the
Mothers
side
,
the
King
of
Spain
,
Philip
II.
to
which
effect
an
Interview
was
appointed
at
Guadalupa
;
There
the
Kings
met
,
Nonius
.
and
proposals
were
made
of
a
match
betwixt
King
Philips
Daughter
,
and
King
SEBASTIAN
,
and
as
to
the
War
of
Affrica
,
the
Spanish
King
liked
well
of
it
,
so
that
it
might
be
prosecuted
by
his
Lieutenants
,
but
not
that
he
should
undertake
it
in
person
,
excusing
himself
that
he
could
not
assist
him
with
a
considerable
force
,
pretending
he
had
occasion
for
Souldiers
to
resist
the
Turk
in
Italy
;
so
that
from
the
Catholique
King
he
could
expect
but
small
supplies

offered
him

shot
of
a
Harquebuze
,
whereof
making
small
account
,
he
went
ordering
things
in
all
parts
of
the
Army
;
But
being
at
that
time
deprived
of
the
greatest
Treasure
which
young
Kings
ought
to
have
in
so
important
occasions
,
a
person
sage
and
advised
,
to
whom
he
should
give
ear
;
when
he
began
to
see
his
men
break
,
he
fell
furiously
with
some
Gentlemen
that
were
about
him
,
into
the
Enemies
ranks
,
valiantly
fighting
to
give
incouragement
to

Those
that
saw
him

wondred
at
his
Courage

for
although
they
had
kill'd
three
Horses
under
him
without
any
whit
daunting
him
,
yet
was
he
indefatigable
in
charging
,
striking
,
and
relieving
all
parts
of
the
Army
where
it
was
most
oppressed
.
But
being
but
a
man
seconded
by
few
,
he
cannot
resist
the
Enemies
fury
,
nor
make
his
Friends
partakers
of

so
that
being
unhorsed
,

was
taken

Such
was
the
death
of
this
unfortunate
King
,
wherein
did
rencounter
all
things
that
might
make
it
deplorable
;
his
youth
,
the
expectation
of
his
Virtues
,
the
want
of

,
the
violence
of
his
Death
,
and
the
prison
of
his
body
,
remaining
in
the
hands
of
the
Moors

He
was
indued
with
excellent
qualities
;
which
were
of
no
advantage
to
him
,
wanting
,
because
of
his
youth
,
that
Virtue
which
ought
to
govern
our

For
all
his
designs

carried
him

were
built
upon
his
Magnanimity

,
his
desire
of
Military
Glory
,
the
Disposition

his
body

the
Vigour

that
we
may
well
say
of
this
unfortunate
young

that
which

spoken

That

him

First
there

Magistrates

a
Citizen
on
Hors-back
,
covered
himself
and
his
Horse
all
in
Black
,
with
a
great
Ensign
in
his
hand
likewise
of
Black
,
bearing
it
on
his
shoulder
that
it
might
trail
on
the
ground
,
after
him
followed
three
old
men
on
foot
in
Mourning
weeds
,
with
three
Scutchions
in
their
hands
,
like
Shields
or
Targets
,
bearing
them
high
upon
their
heads
without
any
figure
upon
them
,
but
all
Black
;
Then
followed
some
Citizens
of
the
same
Magistrates
,
and
other
inferiors
in
great
numbers
:
All
these
went
through
the
principal
Streets
of
Lisbonne
,
and
coming
to
the
steps
of
the
Cathedral
Church
,
which
is
near
unto
the
place
from
whence
they
parted
;
those
which
hold
the
Scutcheons
,
mount
up
certain
degrees
,
and
one
of
them
lifting
up
his
Shield
,
cries
with
a
loud
voice
,
People
of
Lisbonne
,
lament
your
King
SEBASTIAN
,
who
is
dead
:
Then
all
the
people
weep
,
and
cry
:
Having
ended
his
words
,
he
breaks
his
Scutchion
as
a
vain
thing
,
striking
it
on
the
place
where
he
stands
:
Then
proceed
they
on
,
and
being
come
to
the
New
Street
,
ascending
the
Stairs
of
the
little
Church
of
our
Lady
of
Oliuera
,
another
of
them
which
carried
the
Scutchions
,
pronounceth
the
same
words
the
former
had
done
,
and
breaks
his
Shield
in
the
same
manner
;
The
like
is
done
by
the
third
upon
the
stairs
of
the
Hospital
:
So
as
all
the
three
Scutchions
being
broken
in
those
places

they
all
return
home

is

Dayes

Vasconcellius
.
and
had
Reigned
about
Two
and
twenty
.
He
never
married
,
although
there
were
proposals
made
of
three
several
wives
,
Isabel
of
Austria
Daughter
of
the
King
of
Spain
,
Margaret
of
France
Daughter
of
King
Henry
II.
and
also
another
Isabel
of
Austria
Daughter
of
the
Emperour
Maximilian
I.
and
Widow
of
the
King
of
France
,
Charles
IX
.
He
had
his
Piety
by
inheritance
,
having
made
his
Religion
flourish
,
and
established
it
in
Brasille
and
the
Indies
,
where
he
founded
several
Churches
and
Colledges
,
but
more
especially
those
of
the
Jesuites
.
About
two
and
twenty
years
after
his
decease
,
Thuanu●
.
there
was
a
man
in
Italy
who
reported
himself
to
be
the
same
King
SEBASTIAN
,
and
that
having
escaped
from
the
Battel
of
Alcacer
,
he
had
wandred
up
and
down
for
a
long
time
,
without
making
himself
known
.
Which
being
represented
to
the
Senate
of
Venice
with
many
Circumstances
,
some
believed
it
to
be
a
truth
,
others
were
doubtful
,
and
also
many
there
were
that
supposed
him
to
be
an
Imposter
.
But
certain
it
was
,
that
having
been
imprisoned
at
Florence
,
and
from
thence
conveyed
to
Naples
,
and
put
in
the
Gallies
,
he
there
came
to
a
miserable
end
.
The
Cardinal
Henry
of
Portugal
being
exceeding
old
,
Vasconcellius
.
against
the
common
course
of
Nature
succeeded
King
SEBASTIAN
his
Nephews
Son
.
Mariana
.
Which
young
Prince
in
that
Warre
which
he
undertook
in
Affrick
,
endeavouring
to
deliver
a
Nation
from
servitude
,
by
his
imprudence
rendred
the
greater
part
of
his
Nobility
slaves
to
the
Arabes
,
and
Moors
,
Conestaggio
.
and
of
a
free
Nation
,
as
it
was
,
in
a
small
space
of
time
was
reduced
under
the
obedience
of
the
Castillians
,
which
they
for
so
many
years
held
for
their
capital
Enemies
;
as
writeth
Hierosme
Franchi

,
a
Gentleman
of
Genoa
,
who
hath
most
judiciously
discoursed
this
last
Warre
of
the
Portuguesses
in

,
as
also
the
end
of
this
Branch
of

the

adopted
him
to
the
Sacred
Colledge
of
Cardinals
.
During
the
Reigns
of
his
Brother
,
and
Nephews
Son
John
III.
and
Sebastian
,
he
was
Inquisitor
Major
of
the
Faith
in
Portugal
.
After
that
Katherine
of
Austria
,
Widow
of
Prince
John
of
Portugal
his
Nephew
,
Mother
of
young
King
Sebastian
,
had
quit
the
Regency
of
the
Kingdom
,
the
Estates
conferred
it
upon
this
Cardinal
HENRY
,
great
Uncle
to
the
young
King
,
in
the
Year
,
One
thousand
five
hundred
Years

.
1562
threescore
and
two
.
He
exercised
this
Charge
until
the
King
came
to
age
,
who
upon
his
second
expedition
into
Affrica
,
wanting
a
careful
person
to
whom
he
might
leave
the
Government
of
the
Kingdom
in
his
absence
,
went
to
Evora
,
where
HENRY
at
that
time
lived
.
And
although
this
Prince
was
not
greatly
pleasing
to
him
,
yet
did
he
intreat
him
to
take
this
care
in
his
absence
,
which
the
Cardinal
would
by
no
means
accept
,
excusing
it
by
reason
of
his
age
,
and
indisposition
to
Rule
;
so
that
the
King
made
choice
of
four
Governours
to
command
in
his
name
,
which
were
George
d'Almeda
Archbishop
of
Lisbonne
,
Peter
d'Alcasoua
,
Francis
de
Sada
,
and
John
Mascaregnas
,
to
whom
he
gave
a
plenipotentiary
power
.
Conestaggio
.
After
his
death
in
Affrica
,
these
Governours
committed
the
management
of
affairs
to
the
Cardinal
,
Thuanus
.
who
not
long
after
was
Proclaimed
,
and
Sworne
King
by
the
Portuguesses
:
Conestaggio
.
The
Ceremony
of
the
Portuguesses
in
swearing
their
King
The
Form
of
the
Oath
was
performed
in
this
manner
;
The
XXV
.
of
August
,
the
Hospital
Church
of
All
Saints
was
hanged
with
Silk
Tapestry
,
in
the
which
they
erected
a
Throne
,
upon
which
was
placed
a
Seat
of
Cloth
of
Gold
;
thither
came
the
King
in
the
morning
,
in
the
habit
of
a
Cardinal
;
going
from
the
Palace
,
there
marched
before
him
eight
Attabales
,
or
Drums
on
Hors-back
,
after
the
Moresco
manner
,
and
nine
Heraulds
all
on
Hors-back
,
carrying
upon
their
Cloaks
their
Coats
of
Arms
:
after
followed
on
foot
,
almost
all
the
Officers
of
the
Court
,
those
of
the
Chamber
,
and
other
Magistrates
;
behind
them
was
the
Duke
of
Braganza
on
Hors-back
bareheaded
,
bearing
in
his
hand
a
Sword
,
with
a
Scabard
of
Gold
,
as
Constable
:
a
little
after
came
the
Cardinal
upon
a
Mule
,
the
which
Alvara
de
Silva
Count
of
Portalegre
,
Lord
Steward
of
his
Houshold
,
led
by
the
reins
;
there
followed
after
many
Noblemen
and
Gentlemen
on
Hors-back
,
with
a
great
number
of
people
on
foot
:
The
Cardinal
invironed
with
a
great
multitude
,
ascended
the
Stairs
of
the
Hospital
,
being
entred
the
Church
,
having
heard
Service
,
and
ended
his
Prayers
,
he
seated
himself
in
the
Chair
of
State
prepared
on
the
Throne
,
where
presently
Francis
de
Sada
(
one
of
those
that
had
been
Governours
)
put
the
Scepter
in
his
hand
,
and
Michael
de
Mora
Secretary
,
standing
a
little
distant
,
said
(
reading
it
with
a
loud
voice
)
That
King
HENRY
by
the
Death
of
King
Sebastian
,
did
succeed
in
the
Realm
,
and
therefore
they
had
delivered
him
the
Scepter
,
and
that
he
was
come
to
take
the
accustomed
Oath
,
to
maintain
and
observe
unto
his
people
,
and
to
any
other
,
all
Liberties
,
Priviledges
and
Conventions
,
granted
by
his
Predecessors
:
which
done
,
the
Secretary
kneeling
before
him
with
an
open
Book
,
the
King
laid
his
hand
thereon
,
swearing
so
to
do
:
Then
did
the
Attabales
sound
,
every
man
crying
,
Reale
,
Reale
,
for
HENRY
King
of
Portugal
:
This
done
,
he
rose
,
and
with
the
same
company
,
holding
still
the
Scepter
in
his
hand
,
he
returned
to
the
Palace
,
the
Attabales
sounding
,
and
the
Heraulds
crying
from
time
to
time
as
before
.
Conestaggio
.
Now
being
seated
in
the
Royal
Throne
,
The
Deliberations
of
King
HENRY
at
his
coming
to
the
Crown
.
although
he
was
Threescore
and
seven
years
of
age
,
and
not
healthful
,
yet
looked
he
about
him
,
and
(
as
it
were
determined
from
above
,
that
Portugal
should
fall
by
degrees
to
its
declination
)
did
not
provide
for
the
State
,
according
to
that
opinion
that
was
conceived
of
him
:
but
the
Realm
by
reason
of
their
miseries
past
,
remained
as
a
body
empty
and
afflicted
,
which
needed
a
wise
Physitian
to
restore
it
.
For
as
one
mischief
comes
not
alone
,
the
new
King
did
more
torment
it
;
for
although
many
supposed
,
that
he
being
old
,
a
Priest
,
and
of
an
exemplary
life
,
should
lay
all
passions
aside
,
and
be
careful
to
settle
the
state
of
the
Common-wealth
in
better
order
than
he
had
found
it
;
yet
notwithstanding
he
could
not
temper
himself
,
with
such
a
disposition
as
was
fit
for
his
Quality
and
years
:
But
as
it
often
falls
out
in
them
which
have
been
oppressed
,
who
coming
to
Rule
,
seek
Revenge
upon
their
enemies
,
even
so
did
he
(
not
imitating
the
example
of
Lewis
XII
.
King
of
France
,
who
disdained
to
requite
the
wrongs
done
to
him
being
Duke
of
Orleance
)
who
resolved
to
revenge
the
injuries
done
to
him
being
Cardinal
,
if
they
may
be
justly
called
injuries
,
when
as
Princes
be
not
respected
of
their
inferiours
as
they
ought
:
For
not
being
greatly
favoured
by
the
King
his
Predecessor
,
the
Ministers
,
and
Favourites
of
his
Nephew
,
did
not
use
him
with
that
Respect
as
was
required
,
conceiving
(
that
being
so
old
,
and
Sebastian
so
young
)
that
he
would
never
have
attained
to
the
Crown
:
By
reason
whereof
he
deprived
almost
all
the
Officers
of
the
Court
,
and
some
of
them
that
did
manage
the
Kings
Treasure
,
of
their
Offices
;
and
advanced
his
own
Servants
.
In
the
mean
time
,
the
Estates
of
the
Kingdom
beseeching
him
to
take
care
for
the
declaring
of
his
Successor
to
the
Crown
,
he
Convoked
a
Solemn
Assembly
of
the
same
Estates
in
the
City
of
Almerin
,
to
hear
the
Claims
of
those
Princes
which
pretended
to
the
Kingdom
.
The
number
of
whom
was
many
;
viz.
Antonio
Bastard
of
Portugal
,
King
HENRY's
Nephew
;
the
Catholick
King
Philip
II.
the
Duke
of
Braganza
in
the
Right
of
the
Dutchess
his
Wife
;
the
Duke
of
Savoy
;
the
Prince
of
Parma
;
the
Queen
of
France
,
Katherine
de
Medicis
,
Mother
of
King
Henry
III.
and
Pope
Gregory
XIII
.
His
Death
.
During
this
Assembly
,
Conestaggio

King
HENRY
left
this
World
the
last
day
of
Years
of
CHRIST
.
1580
January
,
in
the
Year
,
One
thousand
five
hundred
and
fourscore
;
it
being
remarkable
,
Thuanus
.
That
he
began
to
die
in
the
beginning
of
the
Eclipse
of
the
Moon
,
and
finished
with
it
;
Vasconcellius
.
as
if
that
celestial
Sign
had
wrought
that
Effect
in
him
(
being
a
King
of
a
weak
body
)
which
it
doth
not
in
stronger
;
Mariana
.
or
at
least
,
not
so
suddenly
,
as
Astrologers
do
write
.
Neither
is
the
houre
to
be
neglected
,
being
the
same
wherein
he
was
born
,
Threescore
and
eight
years
before
,
having
Reigned
Seventeen
Months
,
and
eight
dayes
;
so
that
in
him
ended
the
Male
Line
of
the
Kings
of
Portugal
of
that
Branch
;
since
derived
from
the
Collateral
of
the
Dukes
of
Braganza
.
He
was
of
a
thin
Body
,
small
of
Stature
,
and
of
a
lean
Face
:
As
for
his
Judgment
,
it
was
indifferent
,
indued
(
besides
the
Latine
Tongue
)
with
some
Knowledge
.
Alwayes
held
to
be
Chaste
,
and
did
never
blemish
this
Angelical
Virtue
,
but
with
the
desire
of
Marriage
in
his
later
dayes
.
He
was
acounted
sparing
,
giving
rather
than
denying
;
for
he
refused
seldom
,
but
he
gave
sparingly
.
Ambitious
he
was
of
all
Jurisdiction
,
as
well
Ecclesiastical
,
as
Civil
,
zealous
in
Religion
;
yet
in
the
Reformation
of
religious
persons
,
more
strict
than
was
convenient
.
He
was
Bishop
,
Governour
of
the
Realm
,
Inquisitor
Major
,
Legate
Apostolick
,
and
King
:
But
the
more
he
soared
,
the
more
he
discovered
his
weakness
;
suffering
himself
in
his
most
important
Affairs
to
be
governed
by
his
Ministers
,
Conestaggio
.
not
being
able
to
determine
the
Cause
of
the
Succession
:
Opinions
were
grafted
in
him
with
great
obstinacy
,
retaining
a
continual
remembrance
of
wrongs
;
so
that
Justice
was
in
him
,
but
an
unjust
execution
of
his
own
Passions
.
In
Fine
,
He
was
indued
with
great
Virtues
,
and
with
fewer
,
and
lesser
Vices
,
yet
were
they
equal
in
this
;
for
he
had
the
Virtues
of
an
Ecclesiastical
person
,
and
the
defects
of
a
Prince
:
During
his
life
,
he
was
feared
of
many
,
and
beloved
of
few
,
so
as
none
lamented
his
death
;
only
such
,
as
were
well-affected
(
desiring
the
Dispute
of
Succession
had
been
determined
before
his
death
)
had
a
sensible
apprehension
of
his
loss
.
His
Body
rested
some
time
at
Almerin
,
until
that
Philip
II.
King
of
Spain
,
caused
it
to
be
brought
to
the
Monastery
of
our
Lady
at
Bethleem
,
notwithstanding
that
HENRY
had
Ordered
his
Sepulture
at
Evora
,
where
he
had
in
his
life-time
erected
a
stately
Marble
Tomb.
His
Device
was
an
Anchor
,
and
a
Daulphin
,
with
this
Inscription
,
FESTINA
LENTE
,
for
to
denote
,
That
in
the
execution
of
all
Actions
;
Diligence
,
with
Diseretion
,
and
a
Mediocrity
was
to
be
used
.

pretending
on

contrary
to
be

Successor
to

Empress
,
Isabel
of

incontimently

.
under
the
Conduct
of
his
Martial
favourite
,
that
famous
Captain
,
Ferdinand
de
Toledo
Duke
of
Alva
,
who
entred
the
Frontiers
,
and
seized
upon
divers
Towns
by
accord
,
which
the
Popula●s
hearing
of
,
which
were
with
ANTHONY
at
St.
Arem
,
Proclaimed
him
King
,
that
so
they
might
have
a
head
to
their
confused
body
.
After
which
ANTHONY
repaired
to
Lisbonne
,
and
there
was
sworne
,
sent
the
Count
of
Vimioso
to
Setaval
,
whence
he
expelled
the
Governours
,
who
there
had
intended
to
admit
the
Spanish
Gallies
,
so
that
all
the
places
about
Lisbonne
were
at
his
devotion
.
But
Alva
very
much
prevailed
,
as
well
through
his
own
good
Discipline
,
as
the
Inconstancy
,
Headiness
,
and
unskilfulness
of
his
enemies
:
so
that
he
soon
conquered
the
whole
Kingdom
of
Algarves
;
Notwithstanding
the
Pope
(
thinking
it
not
convenient
in
Reason
of
State
,
that
the
Catholique
King
,
whose
power
was
already
so
formidable
in
Italy
,
should
grow
more
potent
by
the
addition
of
a
new
Kingdom
)
had
sent
his
Legate
to
exhort
him
to
desist
from
Armes
,
offering
him
a
Judge
to
decide
the
Rights
of
the
Pretendants
:
H.
F.
Conestaggio
.
but
the
Spaniard
being
loth
to
put
that
to
Compromise
whereof
he
was
already
assured
,
deceived
him
with
delayes
so
long
,
until
the
Victory
was
even
in
his
hands
;
so
that
the
fea●s
of
ANTHONY
encreased
as
his
hopes
decayed
:
The
Duke
of
Braganza
,
and
the
greatest
part
of
the
Nobility
,
making
their
peace
with
the
Enemy
to
their
best
advantage
,
no
hope
of
Relief
remaining
from
other
Countries
(
a
foundation
built
upon
succours
from
the
Enemies
ill-willers
being
alwayes
unsure
,
since
they
will
not
declare
themselves
unless
their
Companions
be
strong
)
and
his
Army
which
he
had
levied
,
being
composed
either
of
unwilling
minds
,
or
unable
bodies
,
since
all
were
Mechaniques
,
Mariners
,
Slaves
,
or
religious
persons
,
whose
vaunts
before
the
Fight
did
more
inflame
,
than
their
valour
in
Fight
did
defend
him
,
whom
they
had
inflamed
.
Yet
such
as
they
were
,
they
banded
together
under
the
leading
of
ANTHONY
,
ANTHONY's
A●my
defeated
near
Lisbonne
.
at
Alcantara
expecting
the
Enemy
,
in
the
Year
,
One
thousand

hundred
and
fourscore
,
where
they
were
put
to
rout
,
chased
to

and
the
Suburbs

thousand

1580
the
defence
of
a
Bridge
,
where
they
made
a
valiant
resistance
,
ANTHONY
fled
to
Viana
,
whither
he
was
so
sharply
pursued
by
Zanches
d'Avila
Marescal
of
the
Field
,
that
in
the
habit
of
a
Mariner
he
hardly
escaped
in
a
small
Boat
,
both
Captivity
from
his
Pursuers
,
and
drowning
through
the
violence
of
the
wind
and
waves
.
The
year
following
,
viz.
One
thousand
five
hundred
fourscore
and
one
,
he
escaped
into
France
from
Setuval
in
a
Flemmish
Ship
which
he
did
hire
by
the
aid
of
a
woman
and
a
Religious
person
,
where
he
incited
the
Duke
of
Alenzon
to
annoy
the
Catholick
King
in
Brabant
,
and
the
Queen
Mother
(
who
seemed
discontented
with
the
Spaniard
,
for
interrupting
the
course
of
Justice
,
by
the
violence
of
Armes
)
to
assist
him
with
Men
and
Munition
for
the
recovery
of
Portugal
,
and
the
Defence
of
the
Terceraes
,
which
stood
out
in
his
Cause
,
and
had
vanquished
Peter
de
la
Baldes
,
with
the
loss
of
Four
hundred
of
his
men
,
who
had
been
sent
thither
to
reduce
those
Islands
to
the
obedience
of
the
King
of
Spain
.
Portugal
was
now
peaceably
enjoyed
by
the
Catholick
King
,
who
had
made
his
Magnificent
entry
into
Lisbonne
,
granted
a
General
Pardon
to
all
ANTHONY's
Faction
,
excepting
the
Religious
,
and
some
few
particulars
,
and
received
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
to
himself
and
Dom
Diego
his
son
,
from
the
States
of
the
Kingdom
.
At
this
time
ANTHONY
was
armed
by
the
Queen
Mother
with
Sixty
Sail
,
and
Seven
thousand
men
for
the
assurance
of
the
Islands
,
and
the
surprising
of
the
Indian
Fleet
under
the
leading
of
Philip
Strozzi
Collonel
of
the
French
Infantry
,
and
Monsieur
Brisack
,
against
whom
they
sent
the
Marquess
of
St.
Croix
with
a
formidable
Army
,
who
engaged
with
the
French
near
the
Island
of
St.
Michael
in
a
bloody
fight
,
wherein
Strozzi
,
Strozzi
,
and
the
Count
of
Vimioso
slain
.
and
the
Count
of
Vimioso
were
slain
,
much
blood
spilt
on
both
sides
,
but
the
French
received
the
Foil
,
and
yet
not
so
weakned
,
but
that
ANTHONY
retained
the
Island
in
his
hands
,
from
whence
he
after
Sailed
into
France
,
leaving
Emanuel
de
Silva
Governour
behind
.
After
the
Report
of
this
Victory
the
Catholick
King
imagining
his
assurance
of
Portugal
to
be
good
,
departed
into
Castille
,
leaving
Cardinal
Albert
Arch-duke
of
Austria
,
Vice-roy
in
his
stead
,
having
first
received
a
new
Oath
to
his
Son
Dom
Philip
,
because
Dom
Diego
his
eldest
Son
was
deceased
.
Conestaggio
.
But
because
he
meant
to
make
his
Conquest
entire
,
the
year
following
(
1583.
)
he
sent
the
Marquess
of
St.
Croix
,
with
a
greater
Navy
than
Years
of
CHRIST
.
1583
before
,
to
the
Islands
,
where
Twelve
hundred
French
,
under
the
Conduct
of
Monsieur
de
Chattes
,
being
joyned
with
those
Portuguesses
which
were
under
Emanuel
de
Silva
,
made
a
valiant
resistance
,
but
being
oppressed
with
so
great
a
number
of
Enemies
,
being
Ten
thousand
trained
Souldiers
at
least
,
the
French
yielded
upon
Composition
,
and
Emanuel
de
Silva
was
taken
,
and
beheaded
;
After
which
Victory
Faiole
was
reduced
to
obedience
,
after
some
small
resistance
,
Portugal
wholly
subjected
to
the
Catholick
King
.
and
thus
was
the
Conquest
of
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
wholly
compleated
,
and
subjected
to
the
Catholick
King
.
ANTHONY
being
returned
into
France
,
(
the
Sanctuary
of
afflicted
Princes
;
)
from
thence
he
writ
a
long
Letter
to
Pope
Gregory
XIII
.
representing
the
Right
he
had
to
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
;
adding
,
That
he
had
been
justly
Elected
King
:
That
the
Marriage
of
Prince
Lewis
his
Father
,
had
been
declared
lawful
,
by
the
Sentence
of
the
Bishop
of
Angra
,
the
Popes
Legate
:
That
King
Henry
his
Uncle
had
unjustly
Sentenc'd
him
in
his
own
Defence
;
for
his
Legitimation
having
been
proved
,
the
Crown
had
in
Justice
fallen
upon
him
the
said
ANTHONY
,
before
Henry
himself
,
as
being
the
Son
of
his
elder
Brother
,
whose
Sentence
was
revoked
and
annihilated
by
Pope
Gregory
:
To
whom
,
Pope
Sixtus
the
Fifth
succeeding
,
the
same
King
ANTHONY
writ
him
also
another
Letter
,
as
well
to
Congratulate
with
him
in
his
Election
,
offering
him
the
Vowes
of
an
obedient
Son
;
as
to
implore
his
help
towards
his
Establishment
in
his
Ancient
Possession
,
and
Royal
Dignity
.
Camdenus
.
ANTHONY
,
not
long
after
,
obtained
Letters
of
Recommendation
from
Queen
Katharine
,
to
Elizabeth
Queen
of
England
;
in
which
,
ANTHONY
entertained
in
England
.
she
forewarned
her
,
and
other
Princes
,
to
beware
of
the
Spanish
Greatness
,
who
now
enriched
with
the
Addition
of
Portugal
,
East-India
,
and
many
Islands
in
the
Atlantique
Sea
,
might
in
time
over
shadow
all
his
Neighbouring
Princes
.
Queen
Elizabeth
,
alwayes
Provident
of
her
own
,
and
her
Subjects
Safety
,
easily
listned
to
this
Councel
,
and
bountifully
relieved
ANTHONY
,
which
she
thought
she
might
do
without
Offence
,
considering
,
that
she
acknowledged
him
her
Kinsman
,
descended
of
the
Blood
Royal
of
England
;
nor
was
there
any
League
made
betwixt
the
Spaniards
and
English
,
that
the
Portugals
might
not
be
received
into
England
.
Here
then
ANTHONY
resided
,
till
that
fatal
Blow
was
given
to
their
(
as
they
called
it
)
Invincible
Armado
,
when
Queen
Elizabeth
judged
it
more
Honourable
to
attaque
her
Enemy
,
than
again
to
be
assailed
by
him
;
suffered
a
Fleet
to
be
set
forth
against
Spain
,
commanded
by
Sir
John
Norris
,
and
Sir
Francis
Drake
,
and
some
other
private
Perons
:
The
Hollander
likewise
joined
some
Ships
;
so
that
the
Fleet
consisted
of
about
Eleven
thousand
Souldiers
,
and
Fifteen
hundred
Mariners
.
With
this
Fleet
ANTHONY
,
with
some
few
Portuguesses
,
set
Sail
out
of
England
,
having
before
assured
the
English
,
That
the
Portuguesses
would
revolt
from
the
Spaniard
and
appear
for
him
;
and
that
Muley
Hamet
,
King
of
Morocco
,
would
strengthen
him
with
Twenty
thousand
men
.
The
first
place
the
English
Fleet
put
into
,
was
the
Groyne
in
Gallicia
,
the
base
Town
they
easily
took
;
but
endeavouring
the
higher
,
were
repulsed
,
and
forced
to
raise
their
Siege
,
upon
Report
that
the
Count
of
Andrada
was
coming
with
Forces
to
cut
off
their
passage
to
their
Ships
,
which
Norris
resolving
to
prevent
,
marched
up
to
them
,
defeated
them
,
and
had
the
slaughter
of
them
for
Three
Miles
;
after
which
,
having
pillaged
,
and
burnt
some
Villages
,
they
returned
to
Sea
,
steering
their
Course
for
Portugal
.
They
had
laboured
some
time
with
contrary
Winds
,
plying
to
and
fro
at
Sea
,
when
Robert
the
young
Earle
of
Essex
fell
into
them
,
who
out
of
Military
Glory
,
Hate
of
the
Spaniard
,
and
Commiseration
of
ANTHONY
,
had
left
the
Court
,
without
the
knowledge
or
consent
of
the
Queen
,
in
hope
,
by
Reason
of
the
influence
he
had
upon
the
Souldiery
,
to
be
chosen
General
of
the
Foot
.
Two
dayes
after
his
Conjunction
with
them
,
they
arrived
in
Penicha
,
where
they
landed
after
the
loss
of
some
men
,
and
reduced
the
Castle
to
ANTHONY'S
Obedience
.
Sir
John
Norris
marcheth
ditectly
to
Lisbonne
.
Hence
the
Land-forces
under
the
Command
of
Sir
John
Norris
,
marched
directly
,
and
with
all
possible
speed
towards
Lisbon
,
about
Sixty
Miles
distant
,
Drake
promising
to
follow
with
the
Fleet
by
the
way
of
the
River
Tagus
.
The
Army
being
arrived
at
Lisbon
,
though
they
had
before
at
a
Councel
of
War
determined
to
encamp
on
the
East-side
of
the
Town
,
the
better
to
bar
Succours
from
coming
out
of
Spain
;
now
contrary
to
their
own
Resolutions
,
sate
down
before
St.
Katherines
Suburbs
on
the
West-side
;
whereas
at
first
they
found
no
Resistance
,
so
they
found
little
help
,
but
what
the
prayers
of
some
few
disarmed
men
gave
them
,
who
now
and
then
cried
out
,
God
save
the
King
ANTHONY
:
And
indeed
other
help
they
could
not
afford
him
,
Albertus
Arch-duke
of
Austria
the
Vice-Roy
having
before
disarmed
the
Portugals
.
The
next
day
when
the
English
,
weary
with
their
long
march
,
betook
themselves
to
their
Rest
,
the
Spanish
Garison
sallied
out
upon
them
,
who
were
at
first
resisted
by
Brett
;
and
his
Companies
,
till
more
coming
up
to
their
Assistance
,
forced
the
Spaniards
to
give
back
,
the
Valiant
Earle
of
Essex
chasing
them
to
the
very
Gates
;
but
the
English
had
several
Commanders
of
Note
,
and
no
small
quantity
of
private
Souldiers
slain
.
In
sum
,
when
they
had
now
stayed
two
dayes
before
the
Town
,
and
perceived
that
the
Portugals
,
notwithstanding
the
great
brags
and
fair
promises
of
ANTHONY
,
did
not
at
all
incline
to
a
Revolt
,
and
that
no
Advice
came
of
any
Assistance
from
Muley
Hamet
King
of
Morocco
;
but
that
instead
of
them
,
fresh
Forces
flocked
in
great
Numbers
from
the
East-parts
into
the
City
,
whil'st
their
Army
was
lessned
by
a
violent
Sickness
,
their
Provision
and
Ammunition
failed
,
and
their
great
Guns
for
Battery
arrived
not
,
they
raised
their
Siege
,
and
took
their
way
towards
Cascais
,
a
small
Town
at
the
mouth
of
the
River
,
the
Spaniards
following
them
at
a
distance
,
but
not
ever
daring
to
fall
in
their
Rear
.
The
Town
of
Cascais
they
took
,
blew
up
the
Castle
;
and
so
,
notwithstanding
all
the
intreaties
of
ANTHONY
,
set
Sail
for
England
,
firing
in
their
way
Vigo
,
a
Port-town
,
deserted
of
its
Inhabitants
.
Thuanus
.
So
that
now
after
a
second
Repulse
,
ANTHONY
was
forced
to
retire
into
France
,
where
he
was
favourably
received
by
King
Henry
the
Great
,
under
whose
protection
he
passed
the
rest
of
his
life
;
His
Death
.
and
having
lived
Threescore
and
four
Years
,
dyed
at

,
the
Five

day
of

.

His
body
was
deposited
in

There
was
found
in
his
Cabinet
a

Paraphrase
upon
the
penitential
Psalms
,
with
some
Prayers
in

LOVISE
OF
PORTUGAL
.
ALthough
in
several
places
of
this
History
,
where
I
have
met
with
the
Persons
,
I
have
given
you
an
account
of
their
Pretentions
to
this
Crown
of
Portugal
;
yet
because
they
lie
scattered
in
their
Stories
,
and
cannot
be
well
compared
one
with
another
,
(
and
being
it
is
the
Opinion
of
many
,
That
the
Right
and
Title
to
that
Kingdom
resides
in
the
Kings
of
Spain
;
An
Errour
,
springing
either
from
their
Ignorance
in
the
Descent
of
those
Princes
;
An
apprehension
that
Sixty
years
Possession
by
the
Austrian
Family
could
make
a
Title
indubitable
,
which
was
never
warranted
by
the
Right
of
Birod
,
or
by
the
Laws
of
Portugal
:
Or
,
that
many
being
wilfully
Ignorant
,
would
have
others
to
be
so
too
)
I
have
therefore
thought
it
necessary
to
spend
this
Sheet
for
the
Entrance
of
the
Table
of
the
Competitors
,
their
several
pretentions
,
and
to
clear
the
Title
of
King
John
IV.
to
that
Crown
.
I.
The
Pretention
of
the
People
.
THe
People
Claimed
,
Jure
Regni
,
alledging
,
That
the
Issue-Male
of
their
Kings
failing
,
the
Election
belonged
unto
them
,
fortifying
this
Reason
by
the
Example
of
the
Election
which
was
made
of
their
King
,
John
I.
But
against
the
People
it
was
answered
,
That
they
had
no
greater
Priviledge
of
Election
in
this
Kingdom
,
than
in
the
rest
of
Spain
,
all
which
Realms
fall
by
Succession
,
when
there
is
any
lawfully
descended
of
the
Blood-Royal
:
And
that
in
Portugal
they
have
less
Liberty
than
the
rest
,
growing
from
the
Gifts
of
the
Kings
of
Castille
,
and
from
the
Conquest
of
the
Kings
of
Portugal
.
And
forasmuch
as
the
People
did
not
give
the
Realm
to
their
Primative
Kings
,
they
could
not
since
be
invested
with
any
Power
to
Choose
one
.
And
for
that
which
they
alledged
concerning
the
Election
of
King
John
I.
it
was
answered
,
That
this
Reason
did
so
little
serve
their
turn
,
that
it
was
rather
an
Argument
against
them
,
to
prove
that
the
Kingdom
in
that
Case
was
Successive
:
having
themselves
secretly
confessed
,
That
they
had
no
Right
to
Choose
,
whil'st
there
remained
any
one
lawfully
descended
of
the
Royal
Issue
;
Inferring
,
That
Beatrice
being
married
to
a
Stranger
,
The
Realm
was
in
the
same
estate
,
wherein
according
to
the
Law
of
Lamego
,
they
were
to
choose
the
next
Prince
of
the
Blood
;
which
Choice
proceeded
from
Duty
,
rather
than
any
unlimited
Power
in
the
People
.
But
to
put
this
Dispute
out
of
doubt
,
there
had
been
Four
several
Examples
put
in
Practice
against
the
Peoples
Election
.
1.
Alphonso
III.
Successor
to
his
Brother
Sanceo
II.
left
the
Crown
to
his
Son
Dionysio
,
by
the
Right
of
Inheritance
.
2.
Emanuel
in
the
same
Right
succeeded
John
II.
his
Fathers
Brothers
Son
.
3.
Emanuel
upon
his
journey
into
Castille
,
declared
,
That
if
he
deceased
without
Children
,
the
Succession
did
belong
to
James
Duke
of
Braganza
his
Sisters
Son
.
4.
And
Henry
the
Cardinal
in
the
same
manner
without
Election
succeeded
Sebastian
,
to
whom
he
was
great
Uncle
.
So
that
Consequently
,
That
Custom
was
to
be
observed
in
the
Succession
of
a
Kingdom
,
which
had
been
ever
practised
.
II.
Of
the
POPE
.
THe
Popes
Title
was
not
forgot
,
who
Challenged
to
be
Jure
divino
Arbitrator
(
if
not
Donor
)
in
all
Controversies
for
Crowns
,
but
especially
in
this
,
because
Alphonso
the
first
King
to
obtain
that
Title
,
became
Tributary
to
the
See
of
Rome
.
But
this
was
slighted
and
disregarded
,
as
not
worthy
an
Answer
.
III.
Of
Katherine
de
Medicis
.
KAtherine
de
Medicis
Widow
of
Henry
the
Second
King
of
France
,
was
the
Third
Competitor
for
the
Crown
of
Portugal
,
as
being
descended
legitimately
from
Alphonso
III.
King
of
Portugal
(
vide
pag.
22.
)
charging
all
that
Reigned
since
to
be
Usurpers
,
and
that
the
Kingdom
ought
to
return
by
direct
Line
to
the
Heirs
of
the
Lawful
Children
of
Alphonso
,
and
the
Countess
of
Buillon
,
whom
they
said
to
be
this
Katherine
Daughter
of
Lawrence
de
Medicis
,
and
of
Magdalene
of
Buillon
and
de
la
Tour
,
the
only
remainder
in
Direct
Line
of
that
House
,
and
Heir
to
the
County
,
the
which
although
she
did
not
then
possess
,
being
incorporate
by
the
Kings
of
France
,
as
a
matter
of
importance
seated
upon
the
Limits
of
France
and
England
;
yet
they
gave
unto
the
Queen
in
Recompence
,
the
Earldom
of
Lauregais
,
which
she
enjoyed
.
But
against
the
most
Christian
Queen
it
was
pleaded
,
That
her
Pretention
was
improbable
,
and
prescribed
,
seeing
that
the
Successors
of
the
Earl
of
Buillon
,
had
never
made
any
mention
thereof
,
neither
is
it
credible
,
that
since
this
Pretention
was
incorporate
to
the
Crown
of
so
mighty
a
Realm
,
such
Wise
and
Potent
Princes
as
were
Francis
I.
and
Henry
II.
would
have
forgotten
to
call
it
in
question
.
But
the
truth
was
,
the
Countess
Matilda
left
no
Children
,
as
it
appears
in
her
Testament
,
in
the
Publick
Registers
of
Portugal
,
making
therein
no
mention
to
leave
any
by
King
Alphonso
,
nor
to
have
had
any
.
It
was
likewise
proved
,
That
Matilda
or
Maud
had
no
Children
,
by
a
formal
Request
found
in
the
same
Registers
,
by
the
which
all
the
Prelates
in
the
Realm
did
beseech
Pope
Urban
,
That
it
would
please
him
to
disannul
the
Curse
which
he
had
laid
upon
the
Realm
,
and
that
he
would
approve
the
Marriage
of
Beatrix
the
second
Wise
of
Alphonso
,
that
he
would
make
their
Children
Legitimate
,
that
there
might
be
no
hindrance
in
the
Succession
of
the
Kingdom
;
whereby
it
was
concluded
,
That
if
there
had
been
any
lawful
Children
of
Maud
,
they
could
not
have
perswaded
the
Pope
to
preferre
the
Bastards
of
Beatrice
.
It
was
added
,
That
these
Reasons
were
not
unknown
in
France
,
and
that
of
late
there
had
been
a
Book
Printed
,
of
the
Genealogie
of
the
Houses
of
Medicis
and
Buillon
,
continued
unto
Katherine
the
most
Christian
Queen
,
whereby
it
did
clearly
appear
,
That
Maud
left
no
Children
by
Alphonso
her
second
Husband
,
having
been
formerly
married
to
Philip
Son
of
Philip
Augustus
King
of
France
;
by
which
Marriage
she
had
one
Daughter
named
Jane
,
who
did
not
succeed
her
Mother
in
the
County
,
dying
before
her
without
Issue
:
So
as
Robert
Son
of
Alix
Sister
to
Matilda
,
came
to
the
Succession
,
and
this
is
that
Robert
from
whom
they
would
draw
the
descent
of
Queen
Katherine
,
being
the
Nephew
,
and
not
the
Son
of
Maud.
So
as
not
being
at
all
proved
,
that
Alphonso
III.
had
any
Children
by
his
first
Bed
,
but
the
contrary
by
many
Reasons
,
the
Queen
had
no
Reason
,
they
said
,
to
Pretend
.
The
Interest
of
the
other
Pretenders

nearly
concerned
,
this
ensuing

make
clear

IV.
Of
Emanuel
Philebert
Duke
of
Savoye
.
THe
Fourth
that
pretended
to
this
Crown
,
was
Emanuel
Philebert
Duke
of
Savoye
,
as
Son
to
Beatrix
younger
Daughter
to
King
Emanuel
,
though
it
is
to
be
supposed
,
that
he
laid
not
his
Claim
out
of
any
hopes
to
prevail
whil'st
he
was
descended
of
the
younger
Daughter
,
and
Philip
II.
King
of
Spain
of
the
Elder
;
but
it
is
rather
to
be
thought
,
that
he
was
incited
to
put
in
his
Claim
,
by
the
rest
of
the
Pretenders
,
who
knew
,
that
of
the
Competitors
that
were
not
Natives
,
he
was
the
fittest
Person
of
all
others
,
to
resist
and
annoy
King
Philip
,
not
only
by
reason
of
his
Personal
Valour
,
but
also
because
of
his
Countries
bordering
upon
the
Dutchy
of
Milan
,
which
with
the
assistance
of
the
French
his
Neighbours
on
the
other
side
,
and
Pretenders
to
that
Dukedom
,
he
might
with
ease
at
all
times
invade
.
V.
Of
Anthony
Prior
of
Crato
.
HE
was
the
Fifth
Competitor
for
the
Realm
of
Portugal
,
who
alledged
,
That
his
Mother
was
lawfully
wedded
to
his
Father
,
and
endeavoured
by
all
means
to
Clear
the
Aspersion
of
his
illegitimation
.
But
Anthony
was
held
Directly
Unlawful
,
having
alwayes
lived
in
that
opinion
,
and
was
so
held
by
his
Father
Lewis
at
his
Death
(
as
it
appeared
by
his
Testament
)
That
of
Four
Witnesses
that
were
to
prove
his
Legitimation
,
Two
were
convinced
to
be
false
,
for
they
recanted
,
confessing
they
had
been
suborned
by
Anthony
;
and
the
other
Two
were
suspected
,
being
neer
Kinsmen
,
and
disagreeing
betwixt
themselves
:
And
that
although
he
had
demanded
his
Legitimation
at
Rome
,
and
had
obtained
it
,
yet
could
not
any
Royal
or
Pontifical
Legitimation
serve
for
the
Succession
of
a
Kingdom
.
VI.
Of
Raynucio
Prince
of
Parma
.
THe
Sixth
who
made
Claim
to
this
Kingdom
,
was
Raynucio
the
young
Prince
of
Parma
,
who
demanded
it
in
the
right
of
his
Mother
the
elder
Daughter
to
the
Infante
Edward
,
alledging
,
That
Jure
Progeniturae
,
the
Male-line
was
to
be
served
before
the
Female
;
so
that
until
the
Line
of
his
Grand-father
Prince
Edward
were
wholly
extinct
,
neither
Philip
II.
nor
the
Duke
of
Savoye
could
have
any
pretence
to
that
Kingdom
:
And
against
the
Dutchess
of
Braganza
he
argued
,
That
he
ought
to
precede
her
,
as
being
descended
of
the
elder
Sister
.
Against
the
Duke
of
Parma
it
was
not
denyed
,
but
that
he
preceded
the
Catholique
King
,
and
so
consequently
the
Duke
of
Savoye
;
but
as
to
the
Dutchess
of
Braganza
,
she
pleaded
,
That
Raynucio
could
not
aid
himself
with
the
benefit
of
Representation
,
being
the
Son
of
her
Sister
deceased
,
and
therefore
out
of
the
degree
wherein
the
Laws
allow
it
.
VII
.
Of
Katherine
Dutchess
of
Braganza
.
THe
Seventh
Competitor
for
the
Crown
of
Portugal
,
was
Katherine
Dutchess
of
Braganza
,
younger
Daughter
of
Prince
Edward
,
alledging
,
That
in
all
Successions
whatsoever
,
these
Four
Qualities
were
to
be
considered
,
viz.
The
Line
,
the
Degree
,
the
Sex
,
and
the
Age
;
that
the
better
Line
ought
in
Justice
first
to
take
place
,
although
others
should
have
advantage
in
all
the
othet
three
Qualities
,
That
in
all
Successions
of
Crowns
,
the
last
Possesser
was
to
be
succeeded
Jure
hereditatis
,
which
allowed
the
Benefit
of
Representation
:
That
she
representing
the
Infant
Don
Edward
,
the
better
Line
did
by
Representation
precede
Raynucio
(
the
Law
never
allowing
a
Grand-child
that
benefit
)
and
that
by
her
better
Line
she
did
exclude
King
Philip
,
who
was
descended
of
a
Daughter
,
but
especially
by
the
fundamental
Laws
of
the
Kingdom
(
put
in
execution
against
Beatrice
Daughter
of
Ferdinand
IX
.
King
of
Portugal
,
who
having
married
out
of
the
Kingdom
to
the
King
of
Castille
,
her
Right
of
succeeding
was
utterly
lost
,
and
King
John
I.
chosen
in
her
stead
)
she
was
to
be
preferred
before
all
Claimers
whomsoever
,
in
regard
of
her
being
both
Born
and
Married
within
the
Kingdom
.
Nor
can
it
be
thought
hard
measure
to
the
Dukes
of
Parma
(
being
descended
from
Prince
Edwards
elder
Daughter
,
to
be
excluded
the
Succession
to
the
Crown
of
Portugal
,
and
the
Dukes
of
Braganza
derived
from
the
younger
,
and
Married
to
a
Native
of
Portugal
,
to
have
the
undoubted
Right
)
if
we
consider
,
that
by
the
same
Law
of
Lamego
the
Crown
descended
to
King
Emanuel
himself
,
which
otherwise
had
belonged
unto
the
same
Beatrice
Queen
of
Castille
,
only
Daughter
of
King
Ferdinand
IX
.
VIII
.
Of
Philip
II
King
of
Castille
.
PHilip
II.
King
of
Castille
was
the
Eighth
and
last
Pretender
;
who
having
employed
all
the
best
Wits
in
Christendom
,
to
confute
and
disprove
all
other
Claims
,
and
to
prove
and
maintain
his
;
Alledged
,
That
the
Succession
of
Crowns
was
to
be
decided
by
the
Law
of
Nations
,
not
of
the
Empire
,
upon
which
only
her
Jus
representandi
Patrem
was
grounded
,
That
the
nearest
male
in
degree
to
the
last
Possesser
,
ought
to
succeed
;
That
the
Infant
Don
Edward
being
deceased
before
his
Brother
Henry
was
King
,
could
have
no
right
in
himself
,
and
therefore
could
derive
none
to
his
Posterity
,
for
Nemo
dat
quod
in
se
non
habet
,
that
it
was
very
unreasonable
,
that
Katherine
should
be
less
prejudiced
in
her self
for
her
Sex
,
than
King
Philip
should
be
for
his
Mother
.

BUt
it
was
no
Arguments
could
confute
,
or
annul
the
certain
and
indubitable
right
of
the
Dutchess
of
Braganza
,
which
was
clear
to
the
World
,
both
by
her
Descent
,
and
by
the
Fundamental
Laws
of
the
Nation
,
and
this
King
PHILIP
knew
well
,
and
therefore
,
though
he
carried
on
his
affairs
very
candidly
to
the
eyes
of
men
,
and
seemed
unbyassed
with
proper
Interest
,
by
offering
to
submit
his
Title
to
a
Disputation
,
professing
,
That
the
Laws
of
Portugal
were
more
favorable
to
him
,
than
the
Law
of
Castille
,
and
openly
acknowledging
,
That
if
he
should
chance
to
die
before
King
Henry
,
his
eldest
Son
being
a
degree
farther
off
,
would
come
behind
some
of
the
Pretenders
,
of
whom
himself
had
the
precedence
.
Though
,
I
say
,
he
carried
himself
thus
fair
to
the
World
,
yet
he
clandestinely
wrought
with
Father
Leon
Henriques
a
Jesuite
,
and
Confessor
to
King
Henry
,
and
Ferdinando
Castillo
,
a
Dominican
,
and
of
the
Kings
bosom
Councel
,
to
endeavor
by
all
means
possible
to
divert
all
Designs
in
prejudice
of
his
Claims
,
and
especially
that
Catherine
Dutchess
of
Braganza
might
not
by
Henry
be
declared
to
be
the
next
Heir
apparent
;
which
he
,
conscious
of
the
justice
of
the
Title
,
was
very
willing
to
have
done
.
And
whilest
these
two
Fathers
prosecuted
his
interest
there
with
the
old
,
and
almost
doting
King
Henry
,
the
vigilant
PHILIP
provided
an
Army
in
readiness
,
with
which
he
resolved
to
enter
into
Portugal
,
and
with
his
Sword
make
good
his
disputable
Title
,
as
soon
as
that
old
Kings
death
should
give
him
the
Warning-piece
to
fall
on
.
Yet
when
that
was
given
,
and
PHILIP
ready
to
march
with
an
Army
of
Twenty
thousand
men
into
Portugal
,
he
had
like
to
have
been
prevented
;
for
Pope
Gregory
the
Thirteenth
pretending
still
his
right
to
Dispose
,
or
at
least
to
Arbitrate
all
Difference
concerning
that
Crown
,
had
sent
Cardinal
Riario
Legat
Apostolique
,
with
Order
to
disswade
the
Catholick
King
from
raising
Arms
,
and
that
done
,
to
pass
into
Portugal
,
and
in
his
Holiness
name
and
behalf
,
to
Arbitrate
the
Right
between
all
Pretenders
;
which
designs
of
the
Popes
,
this
crafty
Spanish
Fox
circumvented
,
for
having
pre-advice
of
it
,
and
resolving
to
pursue
his
own
intentions
of
assuring
to
himself
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
,
and
yet
approve
himself
an
obedient
Son
of
the
Church
,
he
gave
Order
in
all
places
where
the
Legat
was
to
pass
,
he
should
be
most
Magnificently
entertained
,
so
that
by
such
sumptuous
Treatments
,
the
time
might
be
dexterously
protracted
,
and
he
possessed
of
that
Kingdom
before
the
Legal
arrived
at
Court
;
which
was
accordingly
done
,
and
the
Legat
returned
thanks
for
his
Magnificent
Entertainments
,
though
he
was
displeased
at
the
ill
success
of
his
Negotiation
.
But
to
proceed
to
the
manner
of
his
possessing
himself
of
this
Kingdom
:
No
sooner
did
the
News
arrive
at
the
Spanish
Court
of
the
death
of
King
Henry
,
but
Ferdinand
de
Toledo
,
Duke
D'Alva
,
was
commanded
with
an
Army
of
Twenty
thousand
men
to
march
toward
Lisbonne
,
and
in
the
Name
and
Right
of
his
Catholick
Majesty
,
to
make
Conquest
of
the
Kingdom
,
if
he
found
opposition
.
But
all
the
appearance
of
opposition
which
he
found
,
was
made
by
Don
Antonio
the
Bastard-son
of
Lewis
the
Infante
,
who
having
got
into
Lisbonne
in
the
Head
of
a
tumultuary
Rabble
,
rather
than
a
well-formed
Army
,
endeavored
at
first
to
make
some
resistance
,
but
was
soon
discomfited
,
and
the
Suburbs
of
Lisbonne
being
sacked
to
satisfie
the
Souldiers
,
the
City
was
surrendred
to
him
,
whither
soon
after
the
King
came
,
and
so
by
a
mixt
Title
of
Descent
and
Arms
,
took
possession
of
the
Kingdom
,
Ao
1510.
Katherine
Dutchess
of
Braganza
being
enforced
to
surrender
to
him
all
her
interest
and
pretensions
;
which
you
have
read
at
large
in
Anthony
.
The
Nobility
and
People
of
Portugal
were
,
without
doubt
,
extreamly
amazed
to
see
themselves
so
suddenly
surprized
,
and
made
Subject
to
a
Forein
Prince
,
and
especially
to
a
Prince
of
that
Nation
,
against
whom
they
had
a
natural
Antipathy
:
but
finding
themselves
in
a
condition
not
able
to
make
any
resistance
,
they
thought
they
should
gain
more
by
submitting
freely
to
that
King
,
than
by
being
forced
to
it
;
and
therefore
they
made
their
humble
submission
,
which
PHILIP
met
as
it
were
half-way
,
and
condescended
in
the
General
Assembly
of
Estates
,
to
be
sworn
to
these
Articles
or
Capitulations
following
.
-
I.
That
the
said
PHILIP
King
of
Spain
,
&c.
should
observe
all
the
Laws
,
Liberties
,
Priviledges
,
and
Customs
granted
to
the
People
by
the
former
Kings
of
Portugal
.
-
II.
That
the
Vice-King
,
or
Governor
,
should
be
alwayes
the
Son
,
Brother
,
Uncle
,
or
Nephew
of
the
King
,
or
else
a
Native
of
Portugal
.
-
III.
That
all
chief
Offices
of
the
Church
or
State
,
should
be
bestowed
upon
the
Natives
of
Portugal
,
and
not
upon
Strangers
;
likewise
the
Governments
of
all
Towns
and
places
.
-
IV.
That
all
Countries
now
belonging
to
the
Portugal
,
should
so
continue
,
to
the
commodity
and
benefit
of
the
Nation
.
-
V.
That
the
Portugal
Nation
should
be
admitted
to
all
Offices
in
the
Kings
House
,
as
well
as
the
Castillians
.
-
VI.
That
because
the
King
could
not
conveniently
be
alwayes
in
Portugal
,
he
should
send
the
Prince
to
be
bred
up
amongst
them
.
These
Articles
were
shut
up
,
or
concluded
,
with
a
Blessing
upon
such
Kings
as
should
observe
and
keep
them
,
and
a
Curse
on
those
who
should
break
or
violate
them
.
And
some
Authors
likewise
affirm
,
that
there
was
another
Clause
added
to
them
,
signifying
,
That
in
case
(
which
God
forbid
)
that
the
King
which
then
was
,
or
his
Successors
,
should
not
observe
this
Agreement
,
or
should
procure
a
Dispensation
for
this
Oath
,
the
Three
States
of
the
Kingdom
might
freely
deny
Subjection
and
Obedience
to
the
King
,
without
being
guilty
either
of
Perjury
or
Treason
.
Though
these
Articles
were
thus
sworn
to
,
and
the
Cardinal
Albertus
Archduke
of
Austria
,
Son
to
the
Emperour
,
and
Nephew
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
appointed
Vice-King
of
Portugal
,
PHILIP
the
Second
durst
not
in
Person
yet
leave
the
Kingdom
;
for
he
perceived
by
their
Murmurs
and
visible
Discontents
,
that
their
Submission
to
him
,
proceeded
more
out
of
Fear
,
than
Love
;
and
that
as
he
had
in
a
moment
gained
that
Kingdom
,
so
he
should
as
soon
lose
it
,
if
he
should
but
give
them
the
least
opportunity
.
For
that
the
People
were
highly
discontented
,
might
easily
appear
by
their
attentive
listning
after
old
Prophesies
,
among
which
,
was
one
of
an
old
Hermit
,
who
told
Alphonso
the
first
King
of
Portugal
,
Of
the
great
Victory
that
he
should
obtain
over
the
Five
Kings
of
the
Moors
;
that
he
and
his
Posterity
should
Reign
happily
Kings
of
Portugal
,
but
that
in
the
Sixteenth
Generation
his
Line
should
fail
,
but
that
God
at
length
should
have
mercy
again
upon
them
,
and
restore
them
.
Others
had
respect
to
a
Letter
written
by
St.
Bernard
to
the
same
King
Alphonso
(
the
Original
of
which
is
reported
to
have
been
given
to
the
Portugal
Embassadours
,
by
Lewis
the
Thirteenth
King
of
France
,
Aᵒ
One
thousand
six
handred
and
forty
one
)
the
substance
of
which
was
to
this
effect
:
That
he
rendred
thanks
to
him
for
the
Lands
bestowed
upon
him
,
that
in
recompence
thereof
,
God
had
declared
unto
him
,
That
there
should
not
fail
a
Native
of
Portugal
to
sit
upon
that
Throne
,
unless
for
the
greatness
of
their
sins
God
would
chastise
them
for
a
time
;
but
that
this
time
of
Chastisement
should
not
last
above
Sixty
Years
.
Other
Prophesies
there
were
of
this
Nature
,
and
to
this
Effect
,
which
put
the
People
in
hopes
of
a
Deliverance
,
and
many
of
them
flattered
themselves
,
That
Don
Sebastian
was
yet
alive
,
and
would
come
and
deliver
them
;
nay
,
so
foolish
were
some
of
them
,
that
though
they
believed
him
slain
at
the
Battel
of
Alcacer
in
Barbary
;
yet
they
thought
he
should
live
again
,
and
miraculously
come
to
redeem
them
.
But
that
which
most
of
all
expressed
the
Peoples
Discontents
,
was
,
what
was
publickly
spoken
by
the
mouths
of
their
Oratours
,
the
Priests
in
their
Pulpits
,
who
would
ordinarily
in
their
Sermons
utter
Speeches
much
in
prejudice
of
the
Spaniards
Title
,
and
in
Favour
of
the
Dutchess
of
Braganza
;
nor
were
they
sparing
to
do
so
in
the
presence
of
the
King
himself
,
who
would
therefore
often
say
,
That
the
Portuguez
Clergy
had
made
the
sharpest
War
with
him
.
Father
Lewis
Alvarez
a
Jesuite
,
preaching
one
day
before
the
Vice-Roy
,
took
his
Text
,
Surge
,
tolle
Grabatum
tuum
,
&
ambula
;
and
turning
himself
to
the
Duke
,
said
,
Sir
,
the
meaning
of
that
is
,
Arise
,
Take
up
your
Pack
,
and
be
gone
home
:
But
above
all
this
,
might
the
Discontents
be
perceived
in
the
Noblemens
Chappels
,
especially
in
the
Duke
of
Braganza's
,
where
they
were
wont
to
sing
the
Lamentations
of
Jeremy
,
applying
all
the
scorn
and
reproach
of
the
Israelites
to
themselves
;
as
Aquam
nostram
pecunia
bibimus
;
because
of
the
Excize
put
by
the
Spaniards
upon
Wine
,
and
other
Necessaries
:
And
that
,
Servi
Dominati
sunt
in
nos
;
and
that
,
Cecidit
Corona
Capitis
nostri
;
most
commonly
ending
with
this
Invocation
,
Recordare
Domine
,
Quid
acciderit
nobis
Intuere
&
respice
opprobrium
nostrum
:
Haereditas
nostra
versa
est
ad
alienos
.
Yet
did
King
PHILIP
bear
all
these
Affronts
with
an
incomparable
Patience
,
dissembling
with
an
admirable
Prudence
his
Passion
(
if
he
had
any
)
for
these
Discontents
;
for
he
knew
,
the
only
way
to
win
this
Nation
to
an
Obedience
and
Compliance
,
must
be
Lenity
at
first
,
whatever
he
intended
to
practise
afterwards
;
and
that
he
had
by
his
exact
keeping
of
his
Word
and
Oath
,
won
much
upon
this
People
,
appears
,
in
that
during
his
whole
Reign
,
and
the
Reign
of
his
Successor
,
PHILIP
the
Third
,
who
followed
his
Fathers
foot-steps
,
though
not
with
that
Craft
and
Dissimulation
,
they
made
no
Attempts
,
nor
were
inclinable
to
a
Revolt
.
Those
Attempts
made
by
Anthony
(
which
you
may
read
in
his
story
)
and
some
small
bustles
with
one
or
two
Counterfeit
Sebastians
not
worth
mentioning
,
were
the
only
storms
,
that
hapned
in
this
Kingdom
during
the
reigns
of
PHILIP
the
second
,
and
third
;
for
they
keeping
their
words
in
most
things
,
though
some
of
their
priviledges
they
infringed
,
had
almost
brought
the
people
to
a
willingnesse
to
be
their
slaves
,
whereas
PHILIP
the
fourth
committing
the
whole
charge
of
the
Government
to
Count
Olivarez
,
(
who
though
without
doubt
an
able
Statesman
,
yet
would
seem
to
have
a
way
in
policy
by
himself
,
which
no
body
else
could
understand
the
reason
of
)
lost
the
whole
Kingdom
,
and
all
its
Territories
.
For
such
was
the
new
rigorous
ways
which
he
would
prescribe
in
the
Government
of
Catalonia
and
Portugal
,
both
people
very
tender
of
their
Priviledges
,
the
least
breach
of
which
should
have
been
seconded
by
a
potent
Force
to
have
suppressed
them
,
in
case
they
should
attempt
an
Insurrection
,
when
instead
of
having
such
power
in
readiness
,
the
Catalonians
had
rather
opportunity
given
them
to
rebel
,
and
spurs
to
provoke
them
to
make
use
of
the
opportunity
;
for
some
Souldiers
being
scatteringly
quartered
among
them
,
but
too
few
to
curb
them
,
they
looked
upon
that
as
a
greater
intrenchment
upon
their
Liberties
than
any
before
,
and
a
design
utterly
to
enslave
them
:
wherefore
converting
their
patience
into
fury
,
they
took
Arms
,
massacred
those
Souldiers
,
slew
their
Viceroy
,
and
put
themselves
under
the
French
Protection
.
This
Revolt
of
the
Catalonians
was
a
president
to
the
Portugals
,
who
had
extreamly
suffered
under
the
breach
of
their
Priviledges
:
for
contrary
to
the
second
Article
sworn
to
by
King
PHILIP
the
Second
,
which
said
,
That
the
Viceroy
or
Governor
,
should
be
either
Son
,
Brother
,
Uncle
,
or
Nephew
to
the
King
of
Spain
:
The
Infanta
Margarita
di
Mantoua
,
who
had
no
relation
at
all
to
the
Kings
of
Castille
,
was
made
Governess
,
which
they
might
,
and
perhaps
would
have
born
,
had
they
not
been
incensed
by
a
more
feeling
injury
Anno
1636.
when
the
Tax
of
a
fifth
part
was
imposed
upon
all
the
Subjects
of
that
Kingdom
;
an
intollerable
grievance
,
and
thought
so
insufferable
by
the
Southern
parts
of
the
Nation
,
that
they
rose
in
Arms
to
oppose
it
,
and
had
set
the
whole
Kingdom
in
a
combustion
,
had
it
not
been
timely
quenched
by
the
timely
care
and
industry
of
the
then
Governess
,
the
Infanta
Margarita
of
Mantoua
.
Yet
this
small
stir
gave
an
Item
to
the
Court
of
Spain
,
of
the
readiness
of
the
people
to
revolt
,
which
made
Olivarez
endeavor
by
all
ways
possible
to
cut
off
the
means
of
their
being
able
to
do
,
but
whilest
he
endeavored
to
prevent
them
,
he
gave
them
the
means
to
do
it
,
though
he
failed
not
to
make
use
of
those
courses
which
in
probability
might
ensure
that
Kingdom
;
the
chief
of
which
was
,
the
endeavoring
to
allure
from
thence
the
Duke
of
Braganza
,
whom
the
people
of
Portugal
looked
upon
as
the
person
who
of
right
ought
to
be
their
King
,
and
who
was
the
only
Native
of
the
Kingdom
who
might
restore
again
the
Line
of
Alphonso
;
besides
,
he
was
a
Prince
,
who
for
Power
,
Riches
,
and
Number
of
Tenants
,
not
only
exceeded
all
the
Nobles
of
Portugal
,
but
even
of
Spain
it self
.
And
indeed
the
Duke
of
Braganza
was
one
of
the
most
glorious
Subjects
in
Europe
,
being
allied
to
most
Kings
in
Christendom
;
which
made
the
Kings
of
Spain
,
though
they
were
Competitors
for
the
Crown
of
Portugal
,
treat
this
Family
with
more
honor
than
any
other
of
his
Grandees
,
receiving
them
almost
with
as
much
respect
,
as
if
they
were
Soveraign
Princes
;
which
appeared
in
PHILIP
the
Second
,
who
most
of
all
desired
to
abase
this
Family
,
yet
would
always
when
the
Duke
of
Braganza
came
to
visit
him
;
meet
him
in
the
middle
of
the
room
,
and
not
permitting
him
to
kiss
his
hand
,
seat
him
with
himself
under
the
Canopy
of
Estate
.
To
draw
him
therefore
out
of
that
Kingdom
,
Olivarez
first
politickly
offered
him
the
Government
of
Milan
,
a
place
of
great
trust
and
honor
,
but
he
modestly
refused
it
,
as
not
in
a
condition
at
that
present
to
undertake
so
great
a
Command
,
and
indeed
expressing
an
unwillingness
to
go
out
of
Portugal
.
But
his
unwillingnesse
to
go
from
thence
,
made
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
Count
Olivarez
the
more
willing
to
draw
him
from
thence
,
it
was
therefore
given
out
,
That
the
King
himself
was
resolved
to
go
in
person
to
reduce
the
revolted
Catalonians
,
and
that
therefore
all
the
Nobility
should
be
in
a
readiness
in
four
months
time
to
attend
his
Majesty
in
that
Expedition
.
But
the
Duke
of
Braganza
being
suspitious
of
the
Spaniards
,
because
he
knew
himself
suspected
by
them
,
and
likely
to
be
,
whil'st
the
Portuguesses
so
much
affected
him
;
to
assure
himself
of
the
ones
Love
,
and
to
avoid
(
if
possible
)
the
others
Suspect
,
retires
himself
to
his
Countrey-house
at
Villa-Viciosa
,
and
there
follows
his
Sports
of
Hunting
,
&c.
not
at
all
regarding
matters
of
State
,
withal
sending
an
Excuse
to
Count
Olivarez
,
That
his
Affairs
at
present
were
in
so
low
and
mean
a
Condition
,
that
he
could
not
appear
to
attend
his
Majesty
in
that
Pomp
and
Splendor
that
became
a
Person
of
his
Quality
;
and
that
therefore
he
should
do
his
Majesty
more
Service
in
staying
at
Home
,
when
the
other
Nobles
were
abroad
,
than
he
could
possibly
do
by
attending
him
.
This
Plot
thus
failing
,
made
the
Court
of
Spain
more
suspitious
of
the
Duke
than
ever
before
;
Count
Olivarez
therefore
resolves
to
employ
his
utmost
Art
of
Dissimulation
to
entrap
him
,
which
he
sets
upon
by
a
Fetch
so
far
about
,
that
to
the
eye
of
Reason
,
it
might
put
the
Duke
into
ambitious
Thoughts
of
endeavouring
to
assume
his
Throne
,
and
in
a
way
to
accomplish
those
Thoughts
,
rather
than
any
way
prejudice
him
;
but
it
appeared
afterwards
that
Olivarez
Design
in
so
far
trusting
the
Duke
,
was
only
because
the
Duke
should
trust
him
.
In
Answer
to
Braganza's
Letter
of
Excuse
,
the
Count
assures
him
that
his
Majesty
was
very
well
satisfied
with
his
Reasons
of
not
attending
him
in
the
intended
Expedition
against
Catalonia
,
and
that
he
was
very
sensible
of
his
good
Inclinations
to
his
Service
:
That
for
his
own
part
,
he
was
very
sorry
that
his
Affairs
were
in
so
low
a
Condition
;
for
he
could
not
but
Commiserate
his
Interest
as
his
own
.
That
his
Majesty
,
to
let
him
know
how
great
Confidence
he
reposed
in
his
Fidelity
,
had
appointed
him
General
of
the
Militia
of
that
Kingdom
,
and
had
for
his
present
Supply
,
sent
him
Sixty
thousand
Crowns
,
leaving
it
to
his
Choice
to
reside
in
what
place
near
Lisbon
he
pleased
.
This
strange
Confidence
put
in
the
Duke
by
the
King
of
Spain
,
much
amazed
the
greatest
Polititians
,
who
thought
it
reasonable
,
That
the
Spaniard
should
have
permitted
the
Duke
still
to
have
kept
retired
in
the
Countrey
,
rather
than
to
have
given
him
such
a
Command
,
and
called
him
to
Lisbon
into
the
continual
View
of
the
People
,
who
looking
upon
him
as
the
Heir
of
that
House
which
had
ever
been
represented
to
have
the
only
Right
to
the
Crown
,
might
easily
be
inflamed
with
a
Desire
to
have
a
King
of
their
own
.
And
these
things
was
the
Princess
of
Mantour
very
sensible
of
,
and
therefore
continually
sollicited
the
King
to
know
his
Reason
,
or
to
desire
him
to
remove
those
apparent
Opportunities
which
he
had
given
the
Duke
of
Braganza
to
effect
a
Revolt
:
But
she
not
only
received
intricate
and
enigmatical
Answers
from
the
King
,
and
Duke
D'Olivarez
;
but
likewise
had
the
former
Actions
seconded
with
one
,
which
made
her
of
Opinion
that
his
Catholick
Majesty
had
a
mind
to
toss
the
Kingdom
into
Braganza's
hands
whether
he
would
or
no
;
for
on
a
sudden
,
without
any
notice
given
to
her
,
all
the
Spanish
Garison
in
St.
Johns
Castle
,
which
commanded
the
City
of
Lisbon
;
and
indeed
upon
the
strength
of
which
,
the
whole
safety
and
security
of
the
Kingdom
depended
,
were
suddenly
drawn
forth
,
and
the
Castle
left
to
the
disposure
of
Don
John
of
Braganza
.
But
this
was
the
last
Act
of
Count
Olivarez
Confidence
in
the
Duke
;
for
by
trusting
him
so
much
,
he
now
thought
that
he
could
not
but
reciprocally
repose
Confidence
in
him
;
and
therefore
next
Summer
,
Aᵒ
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
:
He
again
by
Letters
sollicites
him
to
leave
Portugal
,
and
come
to
Madrid
,
first
telling
him
,
That
his
Catholick
Majesty
gave
him
many
Thanks
,
and
greatly
applauded
his
Loyalty
in
the
Exercise
of
the
Office
of
General
,
and
was
very
sensible
of
the
good
Effects
which
his
Authority
had
wrought
over
the
Portugals
.
Next
he
represented
unto
him
the
present
declining
Condition
of
the
Spanish
Monarchy
;
not
only
by
Reason
of
the
Disorders
in
Flanders
and
Italy
,
and
the
preparations
of
the
Turk
;
but
more
especially
,
for
that
their
most
potent
Enemies
the
French
,
were
now
in
Assistance
of
the
Revolted
Catalonians
,
entred
into
Spain
:
That
it
highly
concerned
his
Catholick
Majesty
to
drive
these
out
of
his
Territories
,
which
could
not
be
effected
,
but
by
a
very
powerful
Force
;
that
he
being
one
of
the
prime
Grandees
of
the
Kingdom
,
might
by
his
presence
in
the
Head
of
a
good
number
of
his
Tenants
,
encourage
others
to
a
sutable
Assistance
,
that
to
that
purpose
his
Catholick
Majesty
expected
him
every
Moment
,
having
designed
for
him
great
Honours
,
Priviledges
and
Dignities
sutable
to
his
Merit
.
But
as
cunning
an
Angler
as
Olivarez
was
,
yet
he
failed
of
his
Mark
,
the
Bait
would
not
yet
hook
in
the
Fish
;
for
though
the
Duke
of
Braganza
was
accounted
no
very
great
Polititian
,
yet
his
own
Safety
taught
him
to
know
that
all
these
Trusts
,
and
fair
Promises
,
were
but
gilded
Allurements
to
draw
him
to
his
Destruction
;
having
therefore
supplied
the
King
with
a
considerable
number
of
his
Tenants
and
Friends
,
he
found
Excuses
for
his
own
not
going
in
Person
;
and
to
take
off
all
suspition
of
Jealousie
or
Thoughts
,
that
he
had
any
Design
against
the
State
,
he
retired
again
to
his
Countrey-house
.
Thus
did
these
two
great
Personages
by
Craft
and
Dissimulation
,
endeavour
to
supplant
each
other
,
only
the
one
strove
the
others
Destruction
,
the
other
only
studied
his
own
Safety
and
Preservation
.
During
all
these
passages
,
the
Vice-Queen
Margarita
of
Mantoua
,
was
very
vigilant
in
her
Government
,
and
foreseeing
what
in
Reason
might
be
the
issue
of
these
proceedings
,
wrote
very
importunately
to
the
King
,
assuring
him
,
That
if
it
were
not
suddenly
prevented
,
the
Kingdom
would
infallibly
be
lost
.
To
which
,
his
Majesty
returned
her
no
Answer
;
and
Olivarez
in
his
slighting
her
judgment
(
as
fitter
to
Govern
a
private
House
,
than
a
Kingdom
)
desired
her
,
That
if
her
Capacity
would
not
reach
to
the
height
and
drift
of
those
Mysteries
of
State
,
yet
that
her
Wisdom
would
prompt
her
not
to
discover
them
.
Yet
without
doubt
Olivarez
was
inwardly
perplexed
to
see
all
his
Plots
thus
fail
,
and
foul
means
he
durst
not
openly
attempt
,
such
was
the
Dukes
Potency
,
and
the
great
Love
the
People
bore
him
;
he
therefore
at
last
has
Recourse
to
Treachery
,
and
to
that
intent
gives
secret
Advice
to
Don
Lopez
D'Ossis
,
and
Don
Antonie
D'Oquendo
,
That
when
they
had
relieved
Flanders
with
Men
and
money
,
they
should
with
the
whole
Fleet
put
into
Portugal
,
and
then
as
soon
as
the
Duke
should
according
to
the
Duty
of
his
new
Place
and
Office
come
aboard
,
they
should
immediately
set
Sail
,
and
bring
him
away
to
Cales
:
But
this
Plot
was
by
a
strange
Divine
Providence
prevented
;
for
that
Fleet
was
totally
Routed
by
the
Hollanders
upon
the
Coast
of
England
,
in
the
Year
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
thirty
and
nine

For
although
the
most
Illustrious
Infanta
Margarita
of
Mantoua
was
a
Princess
of
great
judgment
and
knowledge
in
State-affairs
,
yet
she
permitted
her self
to
be
so
much
over-ruled
by
Vasconsellos
Secretary
of
State
,
or
at
least
was
so
much
over-ruled
by
him
,
whether
she
would
or
no
,
that
he
either
by
some
secret
consent
of
his
Catholick
Majesty
,
or
led
on
by
his
own
ambitious
spirit
,
confiding
in
the
great
favour
he
had
at
Court
,
never
permitted
the
Infanta
to
enjoy
other
than
the
title
of
Vice-Queen
.
And
insufferable
was
the
Government
of
Vasconcellos
to
the
Portuguesses
,
who
as
much
hated
his
obscure
Birth
,
as
they
did
his
evil
Customs
:
He
was
a
man
wholly
composed
of
Pride
,
Cruelty
,
and
Avarice
,
that
knew
no
moderation
but
in
excesses
:
small
lapses
were
by
him
made
capital
crimes
,
chastising
with
all
severity
those
whom
he
did
but
suppose
dissatisfied
with
his
Government
;
And
exercising
with
all
rigor
the
Spanish
Inquisition
,
punished
not
only
the
actions
,
but
the
very
thoughts
of
men
.
The
infringing
of
the
greatest
Priviledges
of
the
Portugal
Nation
seemed
to
him
but
a
trifle
;
which
continued
oppressions
,
in
the
end
so
exasperated
the
whole
People
,
that
animated
by
the
knowledge
of
their
own
strength
,
by
the
many
diversions
of
the
Spanish
Nation
,
by
the
late
example
of
the
Catalonians
,
and
incited
by
the
absolute
ruine
which
they
saw
hung
over
their
heads
,
whil'st
Six
thousand
of
them
were
yearly
listed
and
forced
to
serve
the
Spaniard
in
his
forreign
Wars
,
they
resolved
to
loose
his
Yoke
from
off
their
Necks
,
and
to
disclaim
his
obedience
,
by
the
election
of
a
King
of
their
own
.
Some
have
been
of
opinion
,
That
this
Conspiracy
was
at
least
of
Ten
years
standing
,
agreed
and
assented
to
by
most
of
the
Grandees
of
Portugal
:
I
date
not
affirm
it
,
nor
deny
it
;
for
such
great
actions
of
State
do
resemble
Lightning
,
which
once
past
,
leave
but
the
greater
darkness
:
the
Air
of
State-mysteries
is
not
to
be
flown
in
by
less
than
Eagles
;
I
shall
therefore
omit
to
search
into
so
great
a
Privacy
,
and
only
recount
the
Publick
Action
.
On
Saturdoy
the
First
of
February
,
Anno
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
,
(
and
Saturdayes
have
been
often
observed
to
be
propitious
to
the
Portugal
Nation
,
)
all
the
Nobility
of
the
Kingdom
,
led
on
by
the
Marquesses
of
Ferreira
,
and
the
Count
of
Vimioso
,
took
Arms
,
and
accompanied
with
a
great
multitude
of
the
Inhabitants
of
Lisbonne
,
and
some
Portuguese
Souldiers
came
to
the
Castle
,
which
scituate
in
the
middest
of
Lisbonne
,
serves
both
for
a
Palace
and
a
Castle
:
this
was
the
residence
of
the
Vice-Queen
,
and
hither
assembled
all
the
Magistrates
for
Governing
of
the
Kingdom
,
the
Guards
which
were
two
Companies
of
Spaniards
,
and
two
of
High
Dutch
,
either
before
gained
by
secret
intelligence
,
or
frighted
with
the
great
numbers
of
the
Portugals
,
or
desire
of
Novelty
,
or
else
perhaps
unwilling
to
make
resistance
against
those
to
whom
they
were
most
of
them
joyned
by
friendship
or
Marriage
,
without
the
least
opposition
,
abandoning
their
Post
,
gave
them
free
admittance
.
Whilest
these
things
had
hapned
,
the
Secretary
Vasconsellos
was
in
the
Chambers
of
his
Office
(
upon
some
reasons
he
had
by
the
Discontents
of
the
People
,
to
suspect
an
Insurrection
)
at
that
instant
writing
into
Spain
,
of
the
Alienation
of
the
minds
of
the
Nobility
from
the
Spanish
Government
,
and
ernestly
pressing
that
some
rigorous
Resolution
might
be
taken
to
prevent
it
;
which
Letters
afterwards
taken
,
did
sufficiently
demonstrate
his
ill
will
to
the
Portuguese
Nation
.
Whil'st
he
was
thus
busied
,
the
confused
noise
of
the
Souldiers
pierced
his
ears
,
at
which
wondring
not
so
much
at
the
tumult
,
as
at
what
should
be
the
cause
of
it
,
being
accompanied
only
with
a
Dutch-man
,
and
another
of
the
Guard
,
he
would
have
gone
down
,
but
was
hindred
by
the
Portugals
,
who
came
running
up
,
crying
,
Kill
the
Traytor
,
Kill
the
Enemy
of
our
Blood
;
whereupon
not
knowing
where
to
save
himself
,
he
fled
,
with
those
two
accompanying
him
,
into
an
inner
Chamber
,
and
there
with
his
Sword
in
his
hand
,
accompanied
and
assisted
by
those
two
that
were
with
him
,
disposed
himself
to
sell
his
Life
at
the
dearest
rate
he
could
:
but
his
Valour
stood
him
in
no
stead
,
for
those
two
who
endeavored
to
defend
him
,
being
slain
with
two
Musquet-shot
,
he
seeing
it
vain
to
defend
himself
there
longer
,
leapt
desperately
out
of
the
Window
,
rather
to
seek
his
Death
,
than
out
of
any
hopes
to
save
his
life
;
for
no
sooner
was
he
down
,
but
numberless
Swords
were
embrued
in
his
Blood
,
the
very
women
and
children
running
to
tear
in
pieces
his
dead
body
,
with
the
same
alacrity
as
he
used
to
torment
them
,
when
alive
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Marquess
of
Ferreira
was
gone
to
secure
the
Vice-Queen
,
whom
having
committed
to
the
Guard
of
Two
hundred
Musquetteers
,
he
calls
a
Council
,
and
in
a
short
Discourse
sets
forth
the
miseries
the
Kingdom
had
endured
whilest
it
lay
subject
to
the
Spanish
Government
,
who
had
sought
no
other
end
but
their
destruction
:
Then
putting
them
in
mind
of
the
Valor
and
Merits
of
their
Nation
,
he
exhorts
them
to
condescend
to
the
Election
of
a
New
King
,
nominating
to
them
the
Duke
of
Braganza
,
as
the
most
worthy
of
the
Crown
,
not
so
much
for
his
Power
,
Riches
,
or
the
Greatness
of
his
House
,
as
because
the
Kingdom
was
his
indubitable
Right
;
he
being
the
only
Person
left
of
that
Stock
,
which
for
so
many
years
had
gloriously
governed
Portugal
.
A
long
Discourse
was
superfluous
to
those
who
were
before
perswaded
.
A
publick
shout
interrupted
the
Marquesses
Speech
,
all
of
them
crying
with
a
loud
voice
,
That
they
would
have
JOHN
Duke
of
Braganza
for
their
King
.
In
the
whole
multitude
there
was
not
a
face
,
much
less
a
voice
that
did
gainsay
this
general
Vote
,
either
because
they
did
all
really
rejoyce
to
see
that
they
should
again
have
a
King
of
their
own
Nation
,
or
because
none
could
without
danger
oppose
themselves
to
the
torrent
of
so
a
Publick
Will
.
The
Duke
was
at
this
time
at
his
Countrey-house
at
Villa-Vitiosa
,
whether
by
accident
,
or
because
he
would
always
have
had
occasion
to
excuse
himself
,
if
the
business
should
not
have
succeeded
,
I
cannot
guess
:
but
by
reason
of
his
absence
they
thought
fit
to
make
choice
of
two
Governors
,
whom
,
to
avoid
the
pretences
of
others
,
they
nominated
to
be
the
Archbishops
of
Lisbon
and
Braganza
.
These
began
immediately
to
exercise
their
Command
,
and
were
obeyed
with
so
much
quiet
,
that
in
all
that
great
and
populous
City
of
Lisbon
there
was
none
slain
,
but
only
those
before-mentioned
;
the
prisons
were
opened
,
nor
was
there
any
that
suffered
any
wrong
,
either
in
their
goods
or
life
:
All
the
Shops
were
opened
as
if
there
had
not
happened
any
Change
of
Government
.
Only
the
house
of
Vasconcellos
was
sackt
,
with
so
much
anger
and
despite
,
that
they
did
not
pardon
the
very
Doors
and
Windows
;
nay
,
such
was
the
fury
of
the
people
,
that
had
they
not
been
hindred
by
the
Souldiers
of
the
Guard
,
they
had
levelled
it
with
the
ground
.
As
for
his
carcase
,
it
suffered
all
those
disgraces
which
a
people
wronged
both
in
their
liberties
and
estates
,
could
inflict
:
they
ran
like
mad
men
to
express
living
sentiments
of
Revenge
upon
his
dead
and
senseless
Corps
,
vaunting
who
could
invent
the
newest
ways
of
disgrace
and
scorn
,
till
at
length
almost
wearied
with
their
inhumane
sport
,
they
left
it
in
the
street
so
mangled
,
that
it
did
not
seem
to
have
the
least
resemblance
of
a
man
;
from
whence
it
was
the
next
day
carried
by
the
Fraternity
della
misericordia
,
and
thrown
into
the
Burying-place
of
the
Moors
.
The
Marquess
of
Alemquer
,
after
he
had
by
command
from
the
Governor
assured
the
strongest
posts
of
the
City
,
sent
several
Souldiers
into
the
streets
,
crying
,
Long
live
King
JOHN
the
Fourth
;
which
the
people
hearing
,
distracted
as
it
were
with
very
joy
,
leaving
their
Trades
,
ran
up
and
down
proclaiming
him
with
voices
of
Jubilee
,
the
greatest
part
through
excess
of
passion
,
not
being
able
to
refrain
from
tears
.
The
Messengers
did
not
run
,
but
flie
to
the
Duke
of
Braganza
,
to
give
him
notice
of
his
promotion
to
the
Crown
:
The
first
arrived
on
Sunday
morning
before
day
;
he
feigned
a
great
alteration
at
this
Advice
,
whereupon
some
have
presumed
to
say
,
That
he
had
not
any
knowledge
of
the
Design
.
He
seemed
at
first
not
to
believe
it
,
but
told
the
Messengers
,
that
though
he
might
have
desert
,
and
a
spirit
fit
for
the
Crown
of
Portugal
,
yet
he
had
neither
will
nor
ambition
to
desire
.
That
his
enemies
wronged
him
,
by
tempting
him
with
Stratagems
as
far
from
his
Genius
,
as
his
Faith
.
But
at
the
arrival
of
the
Count
of
Monte
Santo
,
who
came
to
accompany
him
to
Lisbon
,
he
seemed
of
another
mind
;
and
having
been
with
him
in
private
discourse
for
the
space
of
about
two
hours
,
without
any
further
delay
,
then
what
the
relating
the
business
to
his
Wife
,
and
to
the
Prince
his
son
,
made
,
he
departed
with
the
Count
from
Villa
Vizosa
,
accompanied
with
about
five
hundred
persons
.
Yet
others
there
be
that
affirm
,
That
he
was
not
only
acquainted
with
the
design
of
the
Revolt
,
but
of
Council
about
it
,
and
that
some
time
before
the
Nobility
having
had
a
private
Meeting
at
Lisbon
,
it
was
at
first
propounded
,
That
they
should
reduce
the
Kingdom
into
the
form
of
a
Common-wealth
;
but
that
not
being
approved
of
by
the
major
part
,
the
Arch-bishop
of
Lisbon
stood
up
,
and
in
a
most
eloquent
Speech
,
having
laid
before
them
the
miseries
they
had
endured
under
the
Spanish
yoke
,
recommended
unto
them
JOHN
Duke
of
Braganza
,
as
the
indubitable
Heir
of
the
Crown
,
and
their
rightful
Soveraign
.
This
Motion
needed
not
to
be
seconded
with
many
Arguments
to
induce
a
general
Consent
,
they
all
most
willingly
assented
to
it
,
and
concluded
to
send
Gaston
Cotigno
,
a
man
of
a
fluent
and
voluble
tongue
,
to
acquaint
the
Duke
with
their
intentions
,
and
to
perswade
him
to
accept
the
Crown
,
and
free
his
Countrey
.
Gaston
being
arrived
,
with
many
well-coucht
words
acquaints
him
,
That
there
was
now
a
pregnant
opportunity
offered
to
recover
the
indubitable
right
of
his
Ancestors
to
the
Crown
of
Portugal
:
That
the
Nobility
and
Clergy
were
wholly
inclined
to
redeem
themselves
from
the
Tyranny
of
the
Castillians
,
by
securing
the
Crown
upon
his
head
:
That
the
universal
Odium
of
the
whole
People
to
the
Spanish
Government
,
the
present
low
Condition
of
the
House
of
Austria
,
distracted
on
every
side
with
War
;
the
assured
Assistance
that
France
and
other
Nations
,
emulating
the
greatness
of
Spain
,
would
lend
,
were
as
so
many
Motives
to
perswade
them
not
to
let
slip
so
fair
an
opportunity
to
regain
their
liberty
:
That
if
he
by
Refusal
,
should
be
the
sole
Enemy
to
his
Countries
Freedom
,
they
would
effect
it
themselves
,
and
reduce
it
into
a
Common-wealth
;
with
many
other
Arguments
used
he
,
which
his
Love
to
the
House
of
Braganza
,
his
hatred
to
the
Castillians
,
or
his
own
Ingenuity
prompted
to
him
.
The
Duke's
amazement
permitted
him
not
to
return
a
sudden
Answer
:
but
after
a
little
pause
,
he
replied
,
That
he
was
highly
obliged
both
to
him
and
all
the
Nobility
,
for
their
affections
to
him
,
but
that
this
was
a
Business
required
great
deliberation
:
That
there
was
no
Medium
between
a
Throne
and
a
Chair
of
Execution
,
that
therefore
he
would
first
advise
with
himself
,
and
not
rashly
attempt
so
hazardous
a
business
.
He
therefore
communicates
the
whole
business
to
his
Dutchess
Donna
Lucia
,
Sister
to
the
Duke
of
Medina
Sidonia
,
a
woman
of
a
Noble
,
Heroick
,
and
Masculine
Spirit
,
with
her
he
consults
whether
he
were
best
accept
of
the
Propositions
of
the
Nobility
,
or
to
prevent
all
hazards
go
to
Madrid
:
and
being
anxious
what
course
to
take
,
his
Wife
nobly
told
him
:
My
friend
,
if
thou
goest
to
Madrid
,
thou
do'st
incurre
the
danger
of
losing
thy
life
;
and
if
thou
acceptest
the
Crown
,
thou
do'st
no
more
:
consider
then
whether
it
be
not
better
to
dye
Nobly
at
home
,
than
basely
abroad
.
These
words
of
his
Ladies
(
say
some
)
animated
him
to
a
resolution
to
accept
the
Crown
;
so
he
returned
Gaston
in
answer
,
That
he
would
conform
himself
to
the
councels
of
the
Nobility
,
resolving
to
live
and
run
all
hazards
whatever
with
them
,
for
the
regaining
of
his
Countries
Liberty
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Marquess
of
Ferreira
used
his
utmost
endeavors
for
the
reducing
of
those
Castles
which
still
held
out
for
his
Catholick
Majesty
.
The
first
day
the
Castle
of
Colline
was
rendred
,
which
for
its
situation
was
judged
inexpugnable
,
yet
the
Captain
of
it
no
sooner
saw
it
besieged
,
but
moved
either
with
Gold
,
or
Fear
,
he
delivered
it
up
on
Articles
.
The
Tower
of
Belem
,
and
that
De
la
Cabera
were
suddenly
surprized
before
they
within
had
any
notice
of
what
was
done
;
The
strong
Fortress
of
St.
Giuliano
,
a
modern
Fortification
,
and
built
to
defend
the
Mouth
of
the
River
,
was
ready
to
surrender
,
when
a
Castellane
,
who
was
there
a
Prisoner
,
and
under
Sentence
of
Death
for
the
Surrendry
of
a
Fort
in
Brazil
,
shut
out
the
Captain
,
who
was
gone
to
Parlie
with
the
Portuguesses
,
and
resolved
to
defend
it
many
dayes
:
he
might
have
held
it
out
the
Siege
,
but
finding
neither
Ammunition
nor
Provision
,
consumed
,
as
was
believed
,
on
purpose
by
the
Captain
,
who
unwilling
to
have
the
Blot
of
a
Traytor
cast
upon
him
for
so
sudden
a
delivery
,
thought
it
fitter
to
be
forced
by
necessity
to
open
the
Gates
to
the
Marquesse
.
After
the
Surrendry
of
Fort
San
Giuliano
,
the
Marquess
of
Ferreira
in
the
name
of
the
King
,
gave
the
Sacrament
of
Fidelity
,
or
an
Oath
of
Allegiance
to
all
the
Orders
,
to
wit
,
to
the
Clergy
,
Nobility
and
Commons
,
which
was
received
with
so
much
readiness
,
that
had
not
the
Marquess
seen
the
necessary
Orders
observed
,
the
People
had
run
into
certain
inconveniencies
,
so
much
they
strived
to
prevent
one
another
in
willingness
to
perform
this
duty
.
On
Thursday
the
Sixth
of
February
,
His
Majesty
made
his
entrance
into
Lisbonne
,
with
all
these
applauses
that
a
beloved
King
can
expect
from
his
most
loving
Subjects
.
The
rich
Liveries
given
by
the
Nobles
,
the
Triumphal
Arches
,
the
Streets
hung
with
Tapestry
,
the
multitudes
of
the
People
flocking
to
see
him
,
and
the
excellent
Fire-works
,
(
which
were
so
many
,
that
a
Spaniard
cryed
out
,
Es
possible
que
se
quita
un
Reyno
a
el
Rey
D
Felippe
,
cun
solas
Luminarias
&
vivas
sinmas
excercito
in
Poder
,
Gran
senal
y
efeto
sin
Duda
del
Brazo
de
dios
todo
Poderoso
!
Is
it
possible
that
King
Philip
should
be
deprived
of
a
Kingdom
,
with
only
Lights
and
Fire-works
,
without
a
powerful
Army
!
certainly
this
is
an
evident
Token
that
't
is
the
Almighty
hand
of
God
,
)
were
the
least
demonstrations
of
that
Cities
love
and
joy
:
so
great
was
the
concourse
of
those
that
flocked
to
see
their
new
King
,
that
though
his
Majesty
entred
into
the
City
by
Noon
,
he
could
not
through
the
Throng
arrive
at
the
Palace
till
Two
hours
after
Sun-set
:
curiosity
and
love
which
usually
have
the
force
to
stir
up
all
affections
,
made
this
People
flock
so
fast
to
the
sight
of
their
Prince
.
And
because
it
is
prudence
in
a
Publick
joy
,
to
accommodate
ones
self
to
the
will
of
the
most
,
even
those
who
either
for
envy
,
or
some
other
cause
,
hated
the
House
of
Braganza
,
did
not
cease
to
make
some
demonstration
of
reverence
and
mirth
,
and
by
how
much
the
more
they
thought
themselves
observed
,
by
so
much
the
more
they
strove
to
seem
other
than
they
were
.
His
Majesty
being
arrived
at
the
Palace
,
instead
of
reposing
himself
,
addicted
himself
wholly
to
consult
about
carrying
on
the
War
;
knowing
well
that
onely
labour
produces
true
rest
.
The
first
consultations
were
concerning
the
expugnation
of
the
Tower
of
St.
John
,
which
of
all
the
Forts
in
the
Kingdom
only
held
out
for
the
Catholick
King
.
To
reduce
this
Cittadel
,
the
Marquess
of
Ferreira
was
sent
in
person
with
a
numerous
Army
,
though
for
the
most
part
tumultuary
,
and
ill
ordered
;
but
what
they
wanted
in
discipline
,
they
supplyed
in
affection
;
not
refusing
to
engage
themselves
in
the
extreamest
dangers
:
for
two
days
the
Marquess
found
strong
ressistance
,
but
on
the
third
day
it
yielded
,
as
it
is
supposed
,
forced
rather
by
bullets
of
Gold
,
than
of
Iron
.
Don
Antonio
de
Mascarendas
,
with
a
Portuguess
Garison
was
appointed
commander
of
this
Fortress
,
which
he
very
diligently
repaired
,
not
only
of
the
damages
now
received
by
Battery
,
but
with
other
necessary
fortifications
,
to
bring
it
to
greater
perfection
.
The
Kingdom
thus
suddenly
reduced
to
the
devotion
of
King
JOHN
the
fourth
,
the
several
Governors
were
commanded
to
their
Countries
to
levy
Forces
.
who
listed
the
inhabitants
indifferently
from
the
age
of
Eighteen
to
Sixty
;
in
whom
they
found
so
much
disposition
,
that
many
offered
their
estates
,
and
their
lives
,
and
would
follow
the
colours
,
although
they
had
licence
to
depart
.
On
the
25.
of
the
same
Month
,
followed
the
Coronation
of
his
Majesty
,
accompanied
with
all
those
applauses
demonstrations
of
joy
,
which
could
proceed
from
a
people
of
infinite
Riches
,
who
weary
of
the
Command
of
strangers
,
were
consequently
ambitious
of
a
King
of
their
own
Nation
.
In
the
publique
Place
before
the
Palace
upon
a
most
sumptuous
Theatre
,
was
erected
a
great
Stage
,
and
upon
that
a
less
,
upon
the
top
of
which
but
three
steps
higher
,
stood
a
Chair
of
State
under
a
Canopy
,
all
covered
over
with
Cloth
of
Gold
.
About
noon
His
Majesty
came
forth
of
his
Palace
Royal
in
a
Suit
of
Chesnut
coloured
Velvet
embroidered
with
Gold
,
and
buttons
richly
set
with
Diamonds
:
about
his
neck
was
a
Collar
of
great
value
,
whereunto
hung
the
badge
of
the
chief
Order
of
Knight-hood
,
called
El
Ordine
di
Christo
.
He
was
girded
with
a
gilt
Sword
,
his
Robe
was
Cloth
of
God
lined
with
white
,
wrought
with
Gold
and
flowers
,
the
Sword
was
born
before
him
by
Don
Francisco
De
Alello
Marquess
of
Ferreira
,
High
Constable
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
before
him
was
the
Kings
Banner
displayed
by
Ferdinando
Telles
de
Meneses
Earl
Marshal
,
before
him
went
D.
Manrique
De
Silva
,
Marquess
of
Govea
,
Steward
of
the
Kings
Houshold
,
and
so
in
order
his
Nobles
and
Grandees
of
the
Realm
one
before
another
,
before
all
went
Portugal
King
at
Arms
,
with
the
Heralds
Pursuivants
,
&c.
His
Majesty
being
ascended
the
Stage
,
and
having
placed
himself
in
the
Chair
of
Estate
,
had
the
Crown
set
upon
His
Head
,
and
the
Scepter
delivered
to
him
,
with
the
accustomed
Ceremonies
by
the
Archbishop
of
Lisbon
;
which
done
,
he
spoke
to
His
Majesty
to
this
effect
.
Behold
,
O
most
Sacred
Majesty
,
these
your
Subjects
who
do
more
rejoyce
to
see
this
day
,
than
of
all
the
days
of
their
lives
:
They
rejoyce
to
see
the
Crown
of
Portugal
,
returned
into
its
Antient
stock
,
they
rejoyce
to
have
found
a
Father
who
will
govern
them
like
Children
,
not
Tyrannize
over
them
like
slaves
.
They
here
,
Great
SIR
,
offer
their
estates
,
their
lives
,
and
oblige
themselves
to
run
through
all
the
accidents
of
fortunes
,
to
establish
that
Crown
upon
your
Head
,
which
now
with
so
much
devotion
,
with
so
much
readiness
they
have
placed
upon
it
.
They
cannot
sufficiently
express
their
affections
to
Your
Majesty
;
could
they
bring
their
hearts
,
and
lay
them
down
at
your
Majesties
feet
,
they
would
not
refuse
to
do
it
,
so
sure
are
they
that
they
have
found
a
King
all
goodness
,
all
love
,
who
will
not
let
slip
any
means
for
the
Establishing
of
the
Crown
,
for
the
quiet
of
his
Subjects
,
for
augmenting
his
Dominions
,
and
for
the
conservation
of
those
priviledges
which
have
been
written
with
the
blood
of
our
progenitors
:
Be
your
Majesty
graciously
pleased
to
accept
this
common
resentment
expressed
by
my
mouth
,
there
being
nothing
that
more
comforts
the
minds
of
good
Subjects
,
than
the
pleasing
of
their
Prince
.
The
good
old
Prelate
spoke
these
words
with
so
much
feeling
,
that
the
tears
of
his
eyes
testified
the
affection
of
his
heart
.
To
this
speech
of
the
Archbishops
,
His
Majesty
returned
answer
,
in
expressions
equal
to
his
love
and
greatness
:
That
the
weight
of
the
Scepter
,
and
subjection
to
the
Crown
,
were
things
always
dissonant
to
his
Genius
;
That
he
had
of
late
years
given
them
sufficient
testimony
of
it
,
whilst
they
were
not
more
affectionate
in
offering
,
than
he
was
ready
to
deny
the
taking
upon
him
the
weight
of
the
Kingdom
.
That
his
now
condescending
to
their
desires
,
was
only
to
provide
for
the
Kingdom
,
which
had
been
acquisted
,
and
agrandized
with
the
blood
of
his
Predecessors
,
and
to
take
it
from
the
hands
of
those
,
who
besides
their
unjustly
possessing
it
,
had
rendred
themselves
unworthy
of
it
,
by
endeavouring
by
all
means
to
ruine
it
:
in
sum
,
he
concluded
with
thanks
for
their
love
,
offering
himself
ready
to
adventure
his
health
,
and
life
,
for
their
preservation
,
the
redeeming
them
from
slavery
,
and
maintaining
of
their
priviledges
.
This
short
discourse
ended
,
His
Majesty
went
to
the
great
Church
in
the
same
order
as
before
,
where
being
set
in
a
Chair
of
Estate
,
raised
upon
a
Stage
for
that
purpose
,
with
a
Christal
Scepter
in
his
right
hand
,
at
which
stood
the
Lord
Constable
,
and
behind
him
the
Lord
Chamberlain
,
there
was
placed
before
him
a
Table
Covered
with
Cloth
of
Gold
,
and
a
Cushion
thereon
,
upon
the
Cushion
lay
a
Gold
Crucifix
and
a
Messal
.
Here
the
Archbishops
of
Lisbon
and
Braga
,
administred
the
ensuing
Oath
to
the
King
.
WE
swear
and
promise
by
the
grace
of
God
,
to
rule
and
govern
you
well
,
and
justly
,
and
to
administer
justice
as
far
as
humane
frailty
will
permit
,
to
maintain
unto
you
your
Customs
,
Priviledges
and
liberties
,
granted
unto
you
by
the
Kings
our
Predecessors
.
So
God
help
us
God
,
and
this
his
holy
Gospel
.
This
Oath
being
administred
,
the
three
Estates
,
to
wit
,
the
Clergy
,
Nobility
,
and
Commons
,
took
the
following
Oath
of
Allegiance
to
his
Majesty
,
one
for
every
one
of
the
Estates
,
pronouncing
these
words
.
I
Swear
by
this
holy
Gospel
of
God
,
touching
corporally
with
my
hand
,
That
I
receive
for
our
King
and
lawful
Soveraign
,
the
High
and
Mighty
King
DON
JOHN
the
fourth
,
our
Soveraign
,
and
do
homage
unto
him
,
according
to
the
use
and
custome
of
his
Kingdoms
.
This
,
and
the
Ceremonies
attendant
ended
,
his
Majesty
,
accompanied
with
all
his
Nobles
,
returned
to
his
Palace
,
whether
notwithstanding
it
was
a
very
great
rain
,
all
the
Grandees
went
bare-headed
,
where
there
was
a
most
sumptuous
Banquet
prepared
,
but
his
Majesty
gave
himself
wholly
to
consult
of
preparations
for
the
Warre
,
shewing
thereby
that
Kings
in
their
greatest
felicity
and
delights
,
should
not
forget
affairs
of
State
,
and
taking
care
for
the
preservation
of
their
Subjects
.
But
amongst
debates
of
the
War
abroad
,
there
happened
one
of
an
affair
near
home
,
concerning
the
placing
or
displacing
Officers
of
State
;
and
because
His
Majesty
knew
that
the
charge
of
such
Officers
,
must
needs
be
with
the
resentment
of
many
,
and
that
there
is
nothing
more
alienates
the
minds
of
men
,
than
to
see
themselves
undeservedly
deprived
of
their
honours
,
he
took
away
only
the
places
of
two
,
to
wit
,
that
of
the
Providitore
of
the
Custom-house
,
because
he
was
Son-in-Law
to
Diego
Soarez
,
and
Brother-in-Law
to
Vasconsellos
the
late
deservedly-slain
Secretary
;
and
that
of
the
Count
of
Castanhie
,
who
was
President
of
the
Tribunal
,
or
Court
of
Conscience
,
because
he
was
too
much
interessed
with
His
Catholick
Majesty
.
As
for
the
Infanta
Margarita
di
Mantoua
,
late
Vice-Queen
,
and
the
Marquess
Della
Puebla
Kinsman
to
Olivarez
,
the
Castle
called
Pasos
de
Angiobregas
,
was
assigned
them
,
with
Fourteen
thousand
Crowns
a
year
for
maintenance
.
An
honorable
Prison
it
was
,
nor
could
they
desire
any
thing
but
liberty
,
which
show'd
a
great
Nobleness
of
mind
in
King
JOHN
:
but
Princes
alwayes
do
like
Princes
,
and
much
it
demonstrates
the
Magnanimity
of
the
mind
,
to
honour
our
Enemies
,
though
they
be
our
Prisoners
.
Nor
must
we
here
forget
the
Magnanimous
and
Couragious
Carriage
of
the
Dutchess
of
Mantoua
late
Vice-Queen
,
during
these
confusions
and
distractions
;
for
King
JOHN
sending
to
ascertain
her
,
That
she
should
want
none
of
those
Civilities
that
were
suitable
to
a
Princess
of
her
high
Birth
,
Provided
she
would
forbear
all
Discourse
and
Practises
which
might
infuse
into
any
an
ill
opinion
of
his
present
Government
.
She
returned
Thanks
to
the
Duke
,
(
for
she
would
not
stile
him
King
)
for
his
Complement
:
but
withal
fell
into
a
grave
Exhortation
to
those
Nobles
that
carried
the
Message
,
telling
them
,
That
they
should
lay
aside
all
vain
hopes
,
and
not
cozen
themselves
,
but
return
to
their
old
Allegiance
,
according
as
they
were
obliged
by
Oath
,
which
if
they
did
,
she
doubted
not
to
find
them
all
pardon
.
The
rest
of
the
Castillians
of
Authority
were
confined
in
the
Castle
,
and
all
the
Souldiers
took
the
Portuguese
Pay
,
either
because
they
believed
doing
so
,
to
be
most
for
their
interest
,
or
else
because
being
most
of
them
linkt
in
Parentage
with
the
Portuguesses
,
they
believed
the
Portugal
interest
to
be
their
own
.
Shortly
after
,
Lucia
now
Queen
of
Portugal
,
Sister
to
the
Duke
of
Medina
Sidonia
,
with
her
Son
the
Prince
Theodosio
arrived
at
Lisbonne
,
who
were
received
with
all
imaginable
expressions
of
joy
:
the
Queen
was
soon
after
Solemnly
Crowned
,
and
the
Prince
installed
,
at
whose
Installation
,
the
Nobles
and
Grandees
of
the
Realm
,
took
to
him
the
following
Oath
.
WE
acknowledge
,
and
receive
for
our
true
and
natural
Prince
,
the
high
and
excellent
Prince
D.
Theodosio
,
as
Sonne
,
Heir
,
and
Successor
of
our
Soveraign
Lord
the
King
;
and
as
his
true
and
natural
Subjects
,
we
do
him
homage
in
the
hands
of
the
King
,
and
after
the
death
of
our
true
and
natural
King
and
Soveraign
of
these
Kingdoms
of
Portugal
and
Algarve
,
and
beyond
Sea
in
Affrica
,
Lord
of
Guiana
;
of
the
Conquests
,
Navigation
,
and
commerce
in
Ethiopia
,
Arabia
,
Persia
,
India
,
&c.
we
will
obey
his
Commands
and
Decrees
in
all
,
and
through
all
,
both
high
and
low
:
we
will
make
War
and
maintain
Peace
with
all
those
that
His
Highness
shall
Command
us
:
And
all
this
we
swear
to
God
upon
the
holy
Cross
,
and
the
holy
Gospel
.
These
Ceremonies
performed
with
all
fitting
Solemnity
,
the
King
,
to
show
that
the
good
of
his
Subjects
was
his
only
care
,
called
an
Assembly
of
the
Three
Estates
of
the
Kingdom
,
who
being
Convened
,
and
the
King
seated
in
His
Royal
Throne
,
Don
Emanuel
D'Acugna
Bishop
of
Elvas
made
a
Speech
to
them
,
to
the
following
purpose
.
THat
one
of
the
first
Laws
of
Nature
,
was
,
the
uniting
of
men
together
,
from
whence
Cities
and
Kingdoms
had
their
Original
,
and
by
which
they
after
defended
themselves
in
War
,
and
maintained
themselves
in
Peace
;
That
for
that
cause
His
Majesty
had
called
this
Assembly
to
Consult
for
the
better
service
of
God
,
Defence
in
War
,
and
Government
in
Peace
:
That
there
could
be
no
Service
of
God
without
Union
of
Religion
,
no
Defence
without
Union
amongst
men
,
no
Regular
Government
without
Union
of
Councils
:
That
His
Majesty
did
expect
to
be
informed
by
his
loyal
Subjects
what
was
for
the
good
of
the
State
;
That
they
were
to
render
thanks
to
the
Almighty
,
who
had
given
them
a
King
that
would
govern
them
by
known
Laws
;
That
His
Majesty
did
not
esteem
those
Tributes
lawful
that
were
paid
with
tears
,
and
therefore
did
from
that
present
,
take
off
from
His
Subjects
all
Tributes
that
had
been
imposed
by
the
Kings
of
Castille
,
because
His
Majesty
would
not
Reign
over
their
Goods
,
nor
over
their
Heads
,
nor
over
their
Priviledges
,
but
over
their
Hearts
,
hoping
that
they
would
find
out
a
sweet
expedient
to
defend
their
Countrey
against
their
Potent
enemy
,
who
threatned
to
make
them
all
slaves
,
and
to
destroy
,
and
to
annihilate
their
Nation
.
That
they
would
therefore
,
considering
His
Majesties
Goodness
,
and
their
own
Honor
,
manifest
at
once
unto
the
world
,
That
as
never
Subjects
had
such
a
Gracious
King
,
so
never
King
had
such
Loyal
Subjects
.
The
Bishop
having
ended
his
Speech
,
the
most
antient
Officer
of
the
Chamber
of
Lisbonne
,
stood
up
,
and
in
the
name
of
all
the
three
Estates
,
(
who
stood
up
likewise
,
)
returned
humble
thanks
to
His
Majesty
,
for
this
gracious
bounty
,
heartily
professing
,
That
they
did
not
only
offer
up
their
Goods
,
but
their
Lives
to
His
Majesties
service
,
earnestly
intreating
His
Majesty
to
dispose
both
of
the
one
and
the
other
,
as
he
pleased
.
And
to
manifest
that
their
hearts
and
their
mouths
concorded
in
this
free
offer
of
themselves
to
His
Majesty
,
they
presently
Voted
,
That
Two
Millions
should
be
immediately
raised
by
the
Kingdom
:
but
His
Majesty
wisely
and
politickly
declined
the
imposing
of
a
Tax
upon
his
Subject
,
chusing
rather
to
accept
of
their
Benevolence
;
which
made
every
one
strive
who
should
offer
most
;
so
instead
of
the
Two
Millions
,
there
was
in
short
time
brought
into
the
Treasury
Four
Millions
of
Gold
.
Nor
was
this
Money
intended
by
them
,
nor
employed
to
any
other
use
than
to
maintain
the
Grandezza
and
Splendour
of
the
King
and
Kingdom
,
there
being
no
need
of
Money
for
the
payment
of
Souldiers
,
every
one
offering
to
serve
freely
,
and
at
their
own
Charge
,
against
their
Vow'd
Enemies
the
Castillians
.
But
let
us
for
some
time
leave
the
Assembly
sitting
,
and
give
an
account
how
this
Action
was
resented
into
the
Spanish
Court
:
Most
mens
minds
were
struck
with
consternation
,
but
Olivarez
came
smiling
to
the
King
,
saying
;
Sir
,
I
pray
give
me
las
Albricias
to
hansel
the
good
news
,
for
now
you
are
more
absolute
King
of
Portugal
than
ever
,
for
the
People
have
forfeited
all
their
Priviledges
by
this
Rebellion
,
besides
the
Estate
of
the
Duke
of
Braganza
,
with
all
his
Complices
,
are
yours
by
right
of
Confiscation
,
so
that
you
have
enough
to
distribute
among
your
Loyal
Subjects
by
way
of
reward
.
But
however
Olivarez
seemed
thus
to
dissemble
his
passion
;
it
was
believed
,
that
this
news
struck
deeper
into
him
than
any
.
The
King
of
Spain
upon
the
first
news
of
the
Proclamation
of
King
JOHN
,
sent
a
Letter
to
him
to
this
purpose
:
COusin
and
Duke
:
Some
odd
news
are
brought
me
lately
,
which
I
esteem
but
folly
,
considering
the
proof
I
have
had
of
the
fidelity
of
your
House
,
give
me
advertisement
accordingly
,
because
I
ought
to
expect
it
from
you
,
and
hazard
not
the
esteem
I
make
of
your self
to
the
fury
of
a
mutinous
Rabble
,
but
let
your
Wisdom
comport
you
so
,
that
your
Person
may
escape
the
danger
,
my
Council
will
advise
you
farther
;
so
God
guard
you
.
Your
Cousin
and
King
.
To
this
Letter
His
Majesty
of
Portugal
returned
answer
:
MY
Cousin
:
My
Kingdom
desiring
its
Natural
King
,
and
my
Subjects
being
oppressed
with
Taxes
,
and
new
Impositions
,
have
executed
,
without
opposition
,
that
which
they
had
often
designed
,
by
giving
me
possession
of
a
Kingdom
which
appertains
to
me
;
wherefore
if
any
will
go
about
to
take
it
from
me
,
I
will
seek
Justice
in
my
Arms
:
God
preserve
your
Majesty
.
DON
JOHN
IV.
King
of
Portugal
.
Thus
was
this
Kingdom
utterly
lost
to
the
Spanish
Monarchy
,
and
not
only
it
,
but
with
it
all
that
they
enjoyed
by
that
Kingdom
in
the
East-Indies
,
the
Tercera
Islands
,
and
other
Islands
in
the
Atlantick
Sea
the
Kingdom
of
Algarve
,
Brasil
,
together
with
all
they
had
in
Affrica
,
except
the
Town
of
Cexta
,
which
was
the
whole
remained
to
the
Spanish
Nation
of
all
those
great
Dominions
.
But
that
all
men
might
know
the
greatness
of
their
loss
,
and
what
the
Crown
of
Portugal
enjoys
abroad
,
take
here
a
brief
narration
:
First
,
Those
Islands
of
the
Tercera
,
Madera
,
and
St.
Michael
,
so
long
time
possessed
by
the
Portugal
Nation
,
which
though
inconsiderable
to
their
other
Dominions
,
yet
deserve
to
be
mentioned
;
next
those
many
strong
places
of
which
they
have
made
themselves
Masters
in
Affrica
,
as
in
Guiana
,
in
the
Kingdoms
of
Congo
and
Angola
,
the
great
Island
of
St.
Laurence
,
of
Soffola
and
Mozambique
:
on
the
Continent
thence
passing
the
Month
of
the
Red-Sea
,
they
have
setled
a
Trade
with
Socatra
and
Calaite
;
thence
passing
the
Bay
of
Persia
,
to
the
Mouth
of
the
River
Indus
,
they
subdued
Calecut
,
Coetium
,
&c.
the
Island
of
Goa
,
Ciaul
,
Daman
,
&c.
thence
toward
the
River
Ganges
,
they
possessed
Ceilam
,
Malacca
,
Sumatra
,
Solon
,
Larantuca
,
&c.
Thence
farther
they
were
entred
into
the
Kingdom
of
Pegu
,
into
Java-major
,
and
Minor
,
into
the
Kingdom
of
C●ina
where
they
fortified
Macoa
:
In
sum
,
the
Kingdoms
,
Provinces
,
Islands
,
and
Cities
,
that
the
Portugal
Nation
had
Conquered
,
and
were
possessed
of
abroad
,
may
in
some
measure
be
compared
to
the
Antient
Roman
Empire
;
nor
was
their
Valour
much
inferior
to
the
Romans
,
if
we
consider
the
War
they
made
with
the
King
of
Cambaia
,
who
for
Puissance
and
Military
Courage
,
or
numbers
of
Men
of
War
,
did
exceed
Xerxes
,
Darius
,
or
Pyrrhus
;
the
Battels
they
had
with
Ismalucco
,
and
Idaliam
in
the
Kingdom
of
Decam
,
both
equal
to
mighty
Kings
and
their
Armies
,
consisting
of
the
best
Warriors
of
the
East
;
the
War
they
have
waged
with
the
Moors
of
Malacca
,
Sumatra
,
and
Molucco
,
as
also
with
the
Kings
of
Bengala
,
Peug
,
and
Siam
,
&c.
with
many
other
formidable
powers
.
Many
of
those
places
most
certain
it
is
,
were
lost
while
the
Catholique
King
had
possession
of
Portugal
;
but
with
it
he
likewise
lost
,
and
King
JOHN
IV.
had
possession
of
above
Fifty
Towns
and
Forts
accounted
impregnable
,
such
were
,
Mozambique
,
Cuama
,
Monomotasca
,
Mombaza
,
Masiala
,
Dui
,
Damam
,
Bazaine
,
Chiaul
,
Onor
,
Barcelor
,
Mangalor
,
Cananor
,
Cranganor
,
Cochim
Conlan
,
Negapatan
,
Meliapor
,
the
Isle
of
Ceilam
,
the
Kingdom
of
Jafanapalan
,
the
Cities
of
Manac
,
and
Nombrede
Jesu
;
then
more
Northward
,
Azarim
,
Danue
Agazim
,
Maim
Trapor
,
and
many
other
places
,
in
all
which
were
maintained
Governours
and
Souldiers
,
and
a
Vice-Roy
,
residing
at
Goa
,
with
Courts
of
Justice
,
&c.
Hither
many
Kings
of
the
East
used
to
send
Ambassadors
to
maintain
Amity
with
the
King
of
Portugal
,
and
to
bring
Tribute
to
him
.
Thus
the
Portugal
Trade
in
the
East
extendeth
it self
no
less
than
Four
thousand
Leagues
,
by
which
Trade
all
the
Garisons
are
maintained
,
and
all
the
Ships
(
whereof
they
are
oftentimes
Two
or
three
Fleets
)
and
much
Wealth
sent
home
every
Year
;
besides
those
aforementioned
,
the
Crown
of
Portugal
has
several
Towns
on
the
Coast
of
Affrica
,
so
strongly
fortified
,
That
the
Moors
of
the
Countrey
could
never
yet
recover
them
,
such
as
Tangier
,
&c.
In
America
they
possess
the
famous
Countrey
of
Brazile
,
which
stretcheth
it self
One
thousand
four
hundred
Leagues
upon
the
Sea-Coast
,
containing
Fourteen
Governments
,
and
many
principal
Cities
,
St.
Salvador
,
Pernambuco
,
&c.
Thus
great
a
loss
did
the
Spanish
Monarchy
suffer
by
the
Revolt
of
Portugal
,
which
the
Catholick
King
Philip
the
Fourth
was
very
solicitous
to
recover
,
and
to
that
end
and
purpose
did
not
only
consult
with
the
greatest
States-men
at
home
,
but
likewise
with
those
abroad
,
from
one
of
whom
he
to
that
effect
received
the
ensuing
Letter
.
BY
the
Letter
which
your
Majesty
was
pleased
to
write
to
me
on
the
6th
.
of
March
past
,
I
am
commanded
to
deliver
my
Advice
touching
the
best
Expedient
for
the
Recovery
of
Portugal
:
Sir
,
the
Clemency
used
by
King
Philip
the
Second
,
your
Majesties
Grandfather
,
towards
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
,
was
a
fatal
presage
of
the
present
Calamities
,
and
future
Destruction
,
not
only
of
Spain
,
but
the
whole
Spanish
Monarchy
,
because
that
Kingdom
was
only
in
name
,
but
never
really
Conquered
,
remaining
Rich
,
and
abundant
with
the
same
,
if
not
greater
Priviledges
than
before
;
the
Grandees
and
Nobles
at
Home
,
the
People
not
at
all
Crushed
;
and
(
which
is
more
than
all
)
the
Government
in
the
hands
of
Natives
,
and
all
his
Majesties
other
Subjects
excluded
from
all
places
of
Power
,
Honour
,
or
Profit
.
Sir
,
The
Holy
Scripture
,
which
is
the
Mirrour
and
Rule
of
our
Actions
,
teacheth
,
That
when
Salmanazar
conquered
the
Kingdom
of
Israel
,
he
did
carry
away
,
not
only
the
Royal
Family
,
but
transported
all
the
Nobility
and
People
into
divers
Provinces
of
his
Kingdoms
,
and
into
the
new
Conquests
sent
new
Inhabitants
;
yet
the
Israelites
were
never
such
inveterate
Enemies
to
the
Assyrians
,
as
the
Portugals
with
devilish
madness
have
shewed
themselves
against
the
Interest
and
Conveniencies
of
this
Monarchy
.
Moreover
in
the
same
Scripture
it
is
read
,
That
Nebuchadonosor
having
Conquered
Jerusalem
,
transplanted
all
that
he
found
in
that
Kingdom
,
leaving
only
a
few
miserable
inconsiderable
people
to
remain
there
.
So
Athalia
Queen
of
Judah
saw
no
other
way
to
preserve
a
Kingdom
newly
Conquered
,
but
by
extinguishing
all
the
Generation
,
upon
whom
the
Jews
could
cast
their
eyes
in
hopes
of
Revolt
.
And
Jehu
,
King
elected
by
God
,
extinguished
all
the
Family
of
Ahab
,
together
with
all
his
dependants
,
friends
,
and
acquaintance
,
not
sparing
so
much
as
the
Priests
.
These
,
Sir
,
are
the
Rules
that
the
Holy
Scripture
teacheth
to
be
practised
upon
the
Families
and
People
that
abhor
the
Dominion
of
their
own
Soveraigns
.
It
was
,
Sir
,
very
fatal
to
stand
expecting
and
hoping
for
better
times
and
opportunities
for
the
securing
of
Portugal
.
In
the
Yeer
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
thirty
nine
,
observing
the
ill
affection
of
that
Nation
,
my
Advice
was
,
That
without
any
delay
that
Kingdom
was
to
be
secured
by
Force
of
Arms
;
others
were
of
the
same
Judgments
,
but
Fate
would
have
it
that
(
for
fear
of
new
troubles
)
by
delayes
way
should
be
made
for
Rebellion
,
than
which
there
could
not
have
been
a
greater
,
although
that
Form
of
Government
,
which
was
expedient
for
the
Spanish
Monarchy
,
and
was
alwayes
held
necessary
for
the
preserving
that
Crown
,
had
been
put
in
execution
with
the
greatest
violence
imaginable
.
But
when
a
Jewel
is
gone
,
the
main
enquiry
should
be
,
By
what
means
it
may
be
found
again
,
not
How
it
came
to
be
lost
.
The
first
means
of
recovering
that
Crown
,
may
be
(
what
your
Majesties
Grand-father
made
use
of
)
to
buy
your
Rights
of
your
own
Subjects
by
Gifts
and
Promises
,
wherein
your
Majesty
is
to
be
as
Prodigal
,
as
the
Portugals
are
insolent
in
expecting
or
demanding
,
and
indeed
experience
teacheth
,
That
that
Nation
is
so
addicted
to
their
own
Interest
,
that
more
may
be
effected
this
way
,
than
by
a
powerful
Army
:
to
him
will
they
be
subject
who
will
give
most
,
or
from
whom
most
can
be
expected
herein
,
Prodigality
will
be
good
Husbandry
;
for
when
Portugal
shall
be
returned
to
the
obedience
of
your
Majesty
,
all
that
Wealth
which
hath
been
bestowed
amongst
them
,
will
return
likewise
.
The
second
means
is
by
course
of
Arms
,
but
this
will
be
difficult
at
present
,
by
Reason
of
the
several
Engagements
of
this
Monarchy
elsewhere
:
I
suppose
Sir
,
That
in
case
Portugal
should
be
Conquered
by
Force
,
all
their
Conquests
in
the
East-Indies
,
&c.
will
remain
in
their
hands
;
for
thither
will
they
all
flie
,
and
from
thence
will
they
be
alwayes
ready
to
assist
our
Enemies
;
wherefore
it
would
be
very
expedient
for
your
Majesties
service
,
that
a
Truce
were
first
made
with
the
Hollanders
,
upon
condition
that
they
make
War
upon
the
Portugal
in
the
Indies
,
and
have
whatever
they
can
Conquer
,
whence
will
arise
this
Commodity
that
they
will
want
the
Wealth
of
their
Conquests
,
your
Majesty
being
disengaged
with
the
Hollander
,
will
sooner
Conquer
them
at
home
,
and
the
Hollander
will
only
come
to
receive
to
day
at
the
hand
of
your
Majesty
,
what
to
morrow
the
Portugal
must
deliver
up
to
them
:
At
the
same
time
the
Hollanders
and
Flemings
may
scour
the
Coast
of
Portugal
,
and
the
English
may
be
invited
to
a
more
frequent
Navigation
in
the
East-Indies
and
China
,
whereby
the
Portugal
Trade
may
easily
be
ruined
.
The
third
way
is
,
that
the
Pope
be
perswaded
to
thunder
his
Excommunications
against
the
House
of
Braganza
,
and
against
the
whole
Kingdom
,
as
Perjured
and
Perturbators
of
the
publick
Peace
,
animating
all
Christian
Princes
to
assist
in
the
regaining
that
Kingdom
,
upon
pretence
of
advancing
the
Catholick
Faith
.
Moreover
,
diffidencies
and
jealousies
between
the
Duke
of
Braganza
,
and
other
people
,
may
easily
be
fomented
by
means
of
Merchants
,
Strangers
,
and
by
Flemings
and
Burgundians
,
under
the
name
of
French
.
And
to
effect
these
diffidencies
the
better
,
a
Treaty
may
really
be
begun
with
the
Duke
,
which
being
discovered
by
the
People
(
though
it
be
before
the
Duke
could
know
thereof
)
they
will
destroy
him
and
all
his
Family
,
and
in
such
case
the
Civil
dissentions
will
open
a
way
for
your
Majesty
to
recover
your
Rights
:
desperate
evils
must
have
desperate
remedies
,
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
is
the
Cancer
of
the
Spanish
Monarchy
;
therefore
,
Ense
recidendum
:
ne
pars
symera
trahatur
.
Let
not
your
Majesty
defer
the
right
Remedy
,
the
greatest
Rigor
is
here
the
greatest
Charity
;
and
to
have
no
Charity
,
is
to
have
much
Prudence
;
to
Bury
this
Hydra
in
its
own
ashes
,
will
be
Triumph
enough
;
to
live
without
this
arm
,
will
be
better
than
to
have
it
employed
against
ones
own
head
:
Let
your
Majesty
never
believe
,
or
hope
better
of
that
Nation
,
than
you
have
seen
these
Sixty
years
past
;
never
think
to
keep
that
Countrey
,
if
not
planted
with
other
People
;
the
detestation
against
your
Majesties
Government
,
is
hereditary
.
The
Interest
of
the
King
,
Sir
,
is
very
ample
,
and
hath
no
bounds
against
Rebels
,
every
action
is
just
and
honourable
that
tends
to
the
recovery
of
the
Kings
right
.
Moreover
,
a
Truces
is
to
be
made
with
the
Catalonians
,
whereby
they
being
freed
from
the
tumultuous
courses
of
War
,
will
have
time
to
take
notice
of
the
French
insolencies
,
and
growing
weary
of
that
Yoke
,
will
at
length
easily
embrace
the
next
opportunity
to
return
to
their
obedience
,
which
once
effected
,
will
make
the
People
of
Portugal
waver
betwixt
hopes
and
fears
,
and
beget
variety
of
opinions
amongst
them
,
which
for
the
Conquering
of
Kingdoms
(
the
Emperour
Julian
used
to
say
)
was
much
more
advantageous
than
the
force
of
an
Army
,
as
the
Grand-father
of
your
Majesty
found
in
the
Succession
of
Portugal
:
To
this
may
be
added
,
That
it
will
be
very
expedient
that
your
Majesty
name
Bishops
to
dispose
of
all
Governments
,
and
Offices
of
the
Crown
,
to
the
most
confiding
Persons
in
that
Kingdom
,
for
this
will
beget
distrust
amongst
them
all
,
and
the
ignorant
people
not
knowing
whom
to
trust
,
will
put
all
into
Confusion
,
whereby
your
Majesties
service
will
be
more
easily
advanced
.
This
in
obedience
to
your
Majesties
Commands
,
I
have
imparted
my
weak
advice
,
wherein
if
I
have
erred
,
your
Majesties
goodness
will
attribute
it
to
my
want
of
abilities
,
not
of
affection
:
God
preserve
the
Catholick
and
Royal
Person
of
your
Majesty
,
as
the
Christian
World
,
and
we
your
Majesties
Subjects
have
need
.
But
notwithstanding
all
these
endeavors
,
and
these
proposed
Artifices
,
nothing
prevailed
towards
the
King
of
Spain's
recovery
of
this
Kingdom
,
nor
was
it
probable
that
any
of
these
Deceits
ever
should
,
whil'st
is
considered
the
extraordinary
love
and
affection
which
the
whole
Nation
of
the
Portuguesses
bore
to
the
Family
of
their
present
King
,
and
the
inveterate
hatred
which
they
did
,
and
always
have
born
to
the
Castillians
,
which
was
so
exceeding
great
,
that
it
is
believed
they
would
rather
have
suffered
themselves
to
be
extirpated
and
routed
out
,
than
again
submit
their
Necks
to
the
Spanish
Yoke
.
And
that
ever
the
Spaniard
should
again
recover
it
per
force
,
is
incredible
,
if
we
either
consider
the
Union
and
Unanimity
of
the
Portugal
Nation
,
and
their
Resolutions
to
undergo
the
greatest
miseries
of
War
can
inflict
,
or
the
Interest
of
all
the
other
Princes
of
Christendom
,
who
may
justly
suspect
the
encroaching
greatness
of
the
Spaniard
,
and
therefore
endeavor
rather
to
Lop
off
more
Limbs
from
that
great
Body
,
than
suffer
this
to
be
rejoyned
.
But
it
is
now
high
time
to
return
to
a
Review
of
the
Actions
of
the
Grand
Assembly
of
the
Estates
of
Portugal
,
who
next
Resolved
to
Dispatch
Ambassadors
to
all
States
of
Christendom
,
to
enter
into
Confederacies
,
for
the
better
defence
and
establishment
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
for
the
Glory
and
Reputation
of
the
King
.
In
the
first
place
,
the
Father
Ignatius
Mascarenas
a
Jesuite
,
with
another
Father
of
the
same
Order
,
was
sent
into
Catalonia
,
to
offer
them
all
assistance
and
supplies
for
their
maintenance
,
and
defence
against
the
Catholique
King
,
for
very
well
did
the
King
of
Portugal
know
that
it
highly
did
import
his
Interest
to
correspond
with
them
,
that
so
they
might
joyntly
,
not
onely
defend
,
but
also
offend
the
King
of
Spain
,
whose
Country
lying
betwixt
them
both
,
they
might
at
pleasure
invade
,
or
molest
it
,
either
by
Sea
or
Land
.
This
Embassie
of
King
JOHN'S
so
rejoyced
and
encouraged
the
Catalonians
,
that
the
very
next
day
after
the
Ambassadors
had
Audience
,
they
obtained
a
most
signal
Victory
in
their
own
defence
against
the
Spaniards
,
who
had
assaulted
them
with
an
Army
of
twenty
five
thousand
men
under
the
Command
of
the
Marquiss
De
los
veles
.
Shortly
after
that
the
Father
Ignatius
Mascarenas
was
dispatched
to
the
Catalonians
D.
Francisco
de
Mello
,
and
Don
Antonia
Caelle
Carravallio
,
(
persons
both
of
excellent
and
admired
abilities
,
the
one
for
his
great
experience
and
judgment
in
State-affairs
,
and
the
other
for
his
noble
Spirit
,
and
eminent
knowledge
in
the
Civil
Law
)
to
go
on
a
solemn
Embassie
to
the
most
Christian
King
Lewis
the
thirteenth
of
France
.
These
attended
with
a
Stately
and
most
Magnificent
Train
,
landed
soon
after
at
Rochel
and
on
the
fifteenth
of
March
1641.
made
a
solemn
Entrance
into
Paris
,
being
met
and
conducted
in
by
a
great
number
of
Coaches
,
filled
with
the
Grandees
of
the
Kingdom
,
besides
numbers
of
the
French
Nobility
,
who
came
to
attend
them
on
horse-back
.
Thus
accompanied
,
they
were
conducted
to
the
Palace
appointed
for
the
Entertainment
of
the
Extraordinary
Ambassadors
,
where
they
were
in
a
sumptuous
and
magnificent
manner
feasted
at
the
Kings
Charges
.
From
thence
they
were
by
the
Duke
of
Chevereux
,
and
the
Count
de
Brulon
,
conducted
in
the
Kings
Coaches
unto
his
Majesty
then
at
St.
Germains
,
to
receive
the
first
Audience
;
which
was
performed
with
extraordinary
shews
of
love
and
respect
:
for
upon
the
entrance
of
the
Ambassadors
into
the
place
appointed
for
their
Audience
,
the
King
rose
out
of
his
Chair
of
Estate
:
and
went
forward
three
steps
to
receive
them
,
nor
would
he
permit
them
to
deliver
their
Embassie
with
their
Hats
off
,
or
to
descend
so
low
,
as
to
kiss
his
hands
at
their
departure
,
but
in
stead
of
that
Ceremony
,
he
affectionately
imbraced
them
in
his
Arms
,
promising
them
the
greatest
Assistance
his
Power
was
able
to
give
.
They
were
from
the
Kings
presence
conduced
to
a
sumptuous
Dinner
provided
for
them
,
and
after
that
brought
to
the
Queens
Lodging
,
who
was
set
to
expect
their
coming
:
at
their
entrance
she
likewise
rose
,
and
advanced
three
steps
to
meet
them
,
receiving
them
with
a
cheerful
and
courteous
countenance
,
and
not
permitting
them
to
be
uncovered
.
Amongst
other
Discourses
which
they
had
with
her
,
D.
Francisco
de
Mello
told
her
,
That
he
feared
his
Embassie
might
not
be
acceptable
,
because
the
King
his
Master
had
deprived
her
Brother
of
one
of
his
Kingdoms
.
Whereunto
she
readily
replyed
,
That
though
she
was
sister
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
yet
she
was
wife
to
the
King
of
France
.
After
some
Discourse
in
French
,
her
Majesty
began
to
speak
to
them
in
Spanish
,
which
they
observing
,
desired
to
know
wherefore
her
Majesty
had
not
vouchsafed
them
that
favor
sooner
,
it
being
a
Language
by
them
better
understood
;
To
which
the
Queen
jestingly
answered
,
For
fear
they
should
be
frighted
,
to
hear
her
speak
Spanish
,
and
the
Embassador
to
improve
the
jest
,
replyed
,
Como
a
tum
Grand
Signora
si
,
pero
coma
a
Castiliano
no
,
that
it
was
true
considering
her
Greatness
,
but
not
her
Country
:
The
Queen
smiling
,
went
on
,
promising
them
all
assistance
possible
,
and
wishing
all
prosperity
to
King
JOHN
and
his
Queen
;
and
so
they
having
delivered
her
Majesty
a
Letter
from
the
Queen
of
Portugal
,
took
their
leave
.
From
her
Majesty
they
went
to
visit
his
Eminence
the
Cardinal
Richlieu
,
who
being
advertised
of
their
coming
,
came
forward
to
the
third
Chamber
to
meet
them
,
where
he
received
them
with
expressions
of
great
affection
,
and
promises
and
proffers
of
services
,
and
from
thence
conducted
them
to
his
own
Chamber
.
Being
all
three
sate
,
the
Cardinal
(
who
was
the
most
experienced
and
greatest
Statesman
of
his
time
)
discoursed
with
them
of
divers
affairs
of
great
importance
,
and
they
endeavored
to
explain
to
his
Eminence
what
was
before
his
sentiment
,
that
it
very
much
imported
the
two
Crowns
of
France
and
Portugal
to
be
united
by
an
indissoluble
League
,
considering
that
it
was
the
Chief
and
Principal
end
and
aim
of
the
House
of
Austria
,
(
whose
Branches
were
spread
over
almost
all
Europe
)
not
only
to
be
the
greatest
,
but
to
be
the
sole
and
only
Monarch
of
Christendom
:
That
to
effect
those
ambitious
desires
,
he
had
never
made
scruple
to
usurp
and
seize
upon
Kingdoms
and
States
upon
the
least
pretences
imaginable
,
as
had
appeared
in
the
Kingdoms
of
Naples
,
Sicily
,
Navarre
,
the
Dutchy
of
Millan
,
and
lately
several
States
in
Germany
,
seizing
upon
the
Valtoline
,
whereby
they
had
a
passage
open
to
lead
an
Army
of
Germans
into
Italy
at
pleasure
.
That
considering
the
vast
power
and
interest
that
this
Family
had
,
not
only
in
Europe
,
but
also
in
America
,
it
could
not
but
be
confessed
,
That
they
had
a
large
foundation
of
their
imaginary
Universal
Monarchy
;
but
that
nothing
gave
them
so
great
hopes
,
as
the
possession
of
Portugal
.
For
by
the
addition
of
that
Kingdom
to
the
Crown
of
Castille
,
they
became
absolute
Masters
,
not
only
of
all
Spain
,
but
of
all
the
East-Indies
,
of
all
the
Eastern
Trade
of
Ethiopia
,
Persia
,
Arabia
,
China
,
Japan
,
and
all
that
incredible
wealth
that
was
raised
out
of
the
Portugal
Traffick
,
whereby
the
Austrian
Greatness
(
if
not
their
Monarchy
)
was
principally
sustained
,
that
therefore
it
concerned
all
States
whatsoever
,
not
only
to
put
a
stop
to
the
raving
Tyranny
of
this
devouring
Monster
,
but
to
suppress
and
lessen
his
Power
by
all
means
possible
.
That
to
do
this
,
none
was
more
concerned
,
or
more
able
,
than
the
Kingdom
of
France
united
with
that
of
Portugal
:
That
this
having
been
called
the
Right
Arm
(
as
Catalonia
the
Left
)
of
that
great
Austrian
Colossus
,
now
both
being
separated
from
it
,
and
united
to
France
,
will
be
able
to
do
greater
service
against
it
,
than
they
were
ever
forced
to
do
for
it
,
not
only
by
assaulting
the
Spaniard
within
his
own
doors
,
but
by
intercepting
the
Plate-Fleet
;
which
in
its
return
from
the
West-Indies
,
it
being
necessarily
forced
to
pass
by
the
Tercera
Islands
,
must
run
in
danger
of
the
Portuguez
Fleet
,
or
be
forced
to
be
at
the
Charge
of
an
extraordinary
Convoy
.
These
were
the
sum
of
the
Ambassadors
Discourses
to
the
Cardinal
:
In
answer
to
which
,
his
Eminence
made
offer
,
not
only
of
all
the
Assistance
of
the
most
Christian
King
his
Master
,
but
that
he
would
disburse
himself
for
the
service
of
the
King
of
Portugal
,
promising
that
he
would
presently
send
thither
a
Fleet
of
Twenty
Sail
with
his
Nephew
,
Admiral
and
Ambassador
Extraordinary
.
This
Treatment
thus
ended
,
the
Ambassadors
took
their
leaves
,
his
Eminence
waiting
upon
them
as
far
as
the
Stairs
;
which
when
they
endeavored
to
hinder
,
he
replied
,
That
the
Ambassadors
of
the
King
of
Portugal
,
were
to
be
Treated
with
as
much
Respect
as
those
of
the
Emperor
or
Pope
.
Few
dayes
after
,
a
Juncto
of
the
King
of
France
his
Council
,
were
appointed
to
Treat
with
the
Ambassadors
in
the
House
of
the
Lord
High
Chancellor
of
the
Kingdom
,
where
a
Peace
was
fully
concluded
between
the
two
Kingdoms
of
France
and
Portugal
.
Other
Ambassadors
were
(
about
the
same
time
that
the
afore-mentioned
were
sent
into
France
)
dispatched
into
England
;
for
it
very
much
concerned
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
to
maintain
a
good
Correspondence
with
the
Crown
of
England
,
both
in
regard
of
the
Navigation
and
Commerce
of
both
States
,
and
also
the
better
to
break
that
Amity
and
good
Understanding
which
was
now
held
between
the
Crown
of
Spain
and
that
State
.
Hither
therefore
were
sent
Don
Antonio
D'Almado
,
and
Don
Francisco
D'Averado
Leilon
,
both
persons
of
exquisite
parts
;
who
,
notwithstanding
that
the
Dunkirkers
Chased
them
,
arrived
safe
in
England
.
And
for
all
the
sturdy
endeavors
of
the
Spanish
Ambassadors
,
they
were
received
on
shore
with
abundance
of
Respect
;
yet
His
Majesty
of
England
would
not
give
them
Audience
,
or
accept
of
the
Ambassage
from
the
King
of
Portugal
,
so
tender
was
He
of
His
Honor
and
Conscience
,
till
Don
Antonia
de
Sosa
their
Secretary
,
had
drawn
up
a
Paper
,
to
satisfie
Him
of
the
Right
and
Title
of
the
Duke
of
Braganza
to
the
Crown
of
Portugal
.
The
sum
of
which
was
:
Upon
the
Death
of
King
Henry
the
Cardinal
,
without
Issue
,
many
pretended
(
together
with
the
Infanta
Donna
Catherina
Dutchess
of
Braganza
,
and
Grand-mother
to
this
present
King
)
to
the
Crown
of
Portugal
;
but
all
their
pretences
wanting
foundation
,
soon
fell
,
except
that
of
Philip
the
Second
,
King
of
Spain
,
who
propt
up
his
with
force
.
King
Henry
was
Uncle
,
equally
near
to
both
,
but
with
this
difference
;
Catherine
was
the
Daughter
of
a
Son
named
Edward
,
and
Philip
was
the
Son
of
a
Daughter
named
Isabella
,
Brother
and
Sister
to
King
Henry
.
King
Philip
pleaded
,
That
he
being
in
equal
degree
with
Catherine
,
was
to
be
preferred
for
his
Sex
.
Catherine
replyed
,
That
the
Constitution
of
that
Kingdom
allowing
Females
to
succeed
,
and
withal
the
benefit
of
Representation
in
all
Inheritances
,
she
representing
Edward
,
must
exclude
Philip
by
the
very
same
right
that
her
Father
(
if
he
were
living
)
would
exclude
Philips
Mother
.
This
Conclusion
is
infallible
in
Jure
:
whereto
Philip
answered
,
That
Succession
of
Kingdoms
descending
Jure
sanguinis
,
there
was
allowed
no
Representation
.
Catherine
destroyed
that
foundation
,
alledging
,
That
the
Succession
by
the
Death
of
the
last
King
,
was
derived
Jure
haereditatis
,
&
non
sanguinis
,
because
the
Succession
of
Kingdoms
was
to
be
regulated
by
that
Antient
way
,
whereby
all
things
descended
by
Inheritance
;
the
other
way
of
Succession
being
not
known
until
later
Ages
,
nor
ever
practised
either
in
Spain
or
Portugal
in
such
Cases
.
Briefly
in
behalf
of
Catherine
it
was
urged
,
(
which
by
the
Castillians
can
never
be
denied
,
or
answered
)
That
she
was
no
stranger
,
but
a
Native
of
the
Kingdom
,
to
whom
alone
(
according
to
the
Laws
of
Lamego
)
the
Crown
of
Portugal
can
appertain
.
The
King
having
perused
and
deliberated
upon
this
Paper
,
gave
immediately
Order
they
should
be
presently
conducted
to
London
,
which
was
done
with
all
convenient
Solemnity
,
and
they
lodged
in
a
Palace
ready
prepared
for
them
:
soon
after
with
great
Ceremony
they
received
Audience
of
His
Majesty
,
in
a
fair
and
Stately
Hall
prepared
for
that
purpose
,
where
His
Majesty
sate
upon
a
Throne
raised
two
steps
,
and
at
the
entrance
of
the
Ambassador
pulled
off
His
Hat
,
nor
would
be
covered
till
they
were
so
too
.
To
the
Propositions
made
in
the
Speech
of
D.
Antonia
D'Almoda
,
concerning
a
Peace
between
Portugal
and
England
,
His
Majesty
replied
,
That
he
should
be
very
glad
if
an
expedient
might
be
found
out
to
renew
the
Antient
Leagues
of
Friendship
between
the
two
Crowns
,
without
the
breaking
with
Spain
.
Some
few
dayes
after
,
the
Ambassadors
were
conducted
to
give
a
Visit
to
Mary
Queen
of
England
,
who
sate
in
a
Chair
of
Estate
ready
to
entertain
them
:
when
they
came
into
the
Presence
,
She
rose
out
of
the
Chair
,
and
came
as
far
as
the
Carpetting
,
making
low
reverence
as
the
Ambassadors
bowed
;
when
they
came
near
,
Her
Majesty
made
them
be
covered
,
but
afterwards
they
spoke
with
their
Hats
off
.
In
conclusion
the
Queen
told
them
,
That
she
much
desired
to
hold
Correspondence
with
Her
Majesty
of
Portugal
.
In
fine
,
on
the
Thirteenth
of
June
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
one
,
a
Peace
was
absolutely
concluded
with
the
Portugal
,
notwithstanding
the
earnest
endeavors
of
Don
Alonza
Cardenas
,
●●ger
Ambassador
for
Spain
,
who
by
Gifts
and
Promises
,
even
as
far
as
the
restitutio●
of
the
Palatinate
,
endeavored
to
hinder
it
.
The
Ambassadors
that
were
sent
〈◊〉
the
King
of
Denmark
(
notwithstanding
the
great
Traffick
and
Commerce
that
had
formerly
bin
held
between
that
Kingdom
and
Portugal
)
were
not
(
by
reason
of
the
great
interest
the
House
of
Austria
had
with
those
Kings
)
received
;
yet
the
King
gave
all
possible
Respect
otherwise
to
them
.
From
thence
they
passed
into
Sweden
,
and
were
Magnificently
entertained
at
the
young
Queens
Court
at
Stockholm
,
where
a
League
was
soon
concluded
,
and
the
Ambassadors
dismissed
,
according
to
the
Custom
of
that
Nation
,
with
Gold
Chains
,
and
the
Queens
Portraicture
in
a
Meddal
of
Gold
.
The
Ambassador
D.
Tristano
De
Mendoza
Hurtada
,
that
was
sent
to
the
States
of
the
United
Provinces
,
was
received
with
the
like
Magnificence
and
seeming
affection
,
and
a
Truce
concluded
with
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
for
Ten
years
;
for
a
Peace
the
States
would
not
assent
to
,
because
they
having
Conquered
many
places
in
Brasil
,
Angola
,
&c
which
belonged
to
the
Crown
and
Kingdom
of
Portugal
,
could
not
make
restitution
of
them
,
by
reason
they
now
belonged
to
the
West-India
Company
;
nor
could
the
King
of
Portugal
allow
the
Conquest
,
as
things
of
right
belonging
to
his
Crown
,
and
depending
on
it
.
But
now
we
come
to
treat
of
a
more
solemn
Embassie
,
to
wit
,
that
to
the
Pope
:
Long
was
it
debated
in
the
Assembly
of
Estates
,
whether
an
Ambassador
should
be
sent
to
Rome
immediately
,
or
a
more
opportune
conjuncture
of
time
be
expected
.
Some
were
of
opinion
that
the
sending
an
Ambassador
without
further
delay
,
would
be
a
testification
of
their
duty
,
and
incline
the
Popes
Holiness
to
acknowledge
DON
JOHN
the
lawful
Heir
,
and
rightful
King
of
Portugal
,
which
would
extreamly
further
and
advance
the
Affairs
of
the
Kingdom
.
But
others
there
were
who
conceived
those
things
rather
desirable
than
feasable
,
and
were
of
the
opinion
they
should
rather
stay
till
a
fitter
opportunity
,
alledging
,
that
the
King
of
Spain's
present
power
at
Rome
,
might
probably
oppose
the
Reception
of
their
Ambassador
:
that
although
the
Pope
never
was
in
his
heart
a
Spaniard
,
yet
he
would
never
yield
to
show
himself
an
enemy
to
the
Catholick
King
:
That
the
Spaniards
cunningly
fomenting
the
opinion
which
all
the
world
had
entertainted
,
that
his
Holiness
did
in
all
things
favor
the
French
interest
,
would
from
such
a
Reception
,
draw
as
much
as
ever
they
could
ask
or
desire
.
That
for
this
cause
the
Pope
(
that
he
might
not
seem
their
enemy
)
had
alwayes
granted
them
whatever
they
desired
;
That
therefore
they
thought
it
convenient
first
to
sound
his
Holiness
,
before
they
run
the
hazard
of
the
disgrace
and
affront
which
might
fall
upon
his
Majesty
,
and
the
whole
Kingdom
;
That
in
case
the
Pope
should
decline
the
reception
of
the
Ambassador
,
to
whom
could
they
repair
or
appeal
to
vindicate
the
injury
done
to
the
Crown
?
That
many
Popes
had
been
so
fascinated
to
the
interest
of
their
own
family
,
that
the
world
had
very
great
occasion
to
believe
,
that
their
designs
tended
rather
to
what
was
best
for
themselves
,
than
to
what
was
best
indeed
:
That
the
Portugal
Nation
,
had
as
much
reason
to
distrust
the
See
of
Rome
as
any
,
whilst
they
had
to
their
cost
had
examples
how
they
onely
pursued
their
own
ends
.
As
particularly
Gregory
the
thirteenth
,
who
at
first
seemed
so
affectionate
to
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
,
that
he
imployed
the
utmost
of
his
Power
for
the
Interest
of
his
own
Family
,
approved
of
all
that
King
had
done
;
that
there
was
none
who
had
more
to
give
,
or
at
least
who
had
more
to
promise
,
than
the
Catholick
King
;
so
that
in
any
business
of
Competition
he
must
necessarily
gain
the
better
.
But
notwithstanding
all
these
Arguments
to
the
contrary
,
upon
the
promises
of
the
King
of
France
,
to
be
a
Mediator
at
the
See
of
Rome
,
for
the
Reception
of
their
Ambassadors
,
by
the
suffrage
of
some
few
Voices
,
to
make
the
major
part
,
it
was
concluded
,
That
Ambassadors
should
immediately
be
sent
to
Rome
.
And
in
pursuance
of
this
Vote
,
the
King
immediately
made
choice
of
two
Reverend
and
able
Persons
,
to
wit
,
Michael
De
Portogallo
,
Son
to
the
Count
Vimioso
of
the
Blood
Royal
,
Bishop
of
Lamego
,
and
D.
Petableone
Rodriguiz
,
Bishop
of
Elvas
:
No
sooner
was
the
news
arrived
at
Rome
of
their
being
landed
in
Italy
,
but
the
Spaniards
in
Rome
mustred
themselves
together
,
with
resolution
either
to
oppose
their
entrance
,
or
at
least
hinder
their
reception
;
whil'st
on
the
other
side
the
French
,
Portugal
,
and
Catalonians
assembled
themselves
together
,
resolving
to
hazard
their
dearest
Blood
in
their
Cause
.
His
Holiness
seeing
these
preparations
on
both
sides
,
feared
lest
his
Countrey
should
be
made
the
Seat
of
a
petty
War
,
and
considering
that
in
any
case
the
dishonour
would
accrue
to
him
,
if
whil'st
under
his
Command
and
Protection
,
the
Person
of
an
Ambassador
should
be
violated
,
strictly
Commanded
all
his
Guards
to
take
special
care
to
prevent
the
Violencies
intended
.
The
Spaniards
by
this
Order
hindred
from
what
they
purposed
,
their
Ambassadors
openly
protested
,
That
if
his
Holiness
did
receive
the
Portugal
Ambassador
,
they
would
immediately
leave
Rome
.
But
notwithstanding
these
protestations
,
and
all
other
opposition
they
could
possibly
make
,
in
November
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
one
,
the
two
Portugal
Ambassadors
being
met
by
divers
Cardinals
,
Princes
,
and
Cavaliers
,
well
armed
,
entred
into
Rome
,
and
were
conducted
to
the
Palace
of
the
French
Ambassador
,
who
received
them
with
all
Respect
possible
,
still
giving
them
the
precedence
.
Hereupon
several
Manifesto's
are
scattered
abroad
by
the
two
Spanish
Ambassadors
,
the
Marquess
De
los
Veles
,
and
D.
John
Chiumarrero
,
labouring
to
prove
that
his
Holiness
ought
not
to
receive
the
Ambassadors
of
the
Duke
of
Braganza
,
as
they
stiled
him
.
First
,
because
he
was
a
Tyrant
,
and
Usurper
of
that
Kingdom
,
which
had
been
in
the
quiet
possession
of
the
Catholick
King
these
Sixty
years
.
Secondly
,
Because
he
was
a
Rebel
,
and
a
Perjured
Person
,
having
sworn
Allegiance
to
the
Catholick
King
.
Thirdly
,
That
the
Reception
of
these
Ambassadors
would
animate
other
Subjects
of
the
Catholick
King
to
Rebellion
.
But
whil'st
the
Spanish
Ambassadors
are
violently
shooting
such
Paper-Bullets
,
the
Portuguesses
used
all
their
endeavors
,
both
by
themselves
,
and
the
French
Ambassadors
,
(
who
had
express
Order
from
the
most
Christian
King
his
Master
to
that
purpose
,
)
to
prevail
with
the
Pope
,
to
give
them
Audience
,
and
admit
their
Embassie
:
but
his
Holiness
was
so
fearful
to
displease
the
Spaniard
,
lest
he
should
afterwards
take
occasion
to
revenge
himself
upon
his
Nephews
,
that
he
utterly
declined
their
Reception
,
yet
not
out
of
any
of
the
Spaniards
Allegations
,
but
upon
pretence
that
certain
of
the
Church
Rites
had
been
violated
in
Portugal
;
the
Arch-bishop
of
Braga
,
and
other
Ecclesiastical
Persons
,
being
kept
in
durance
,
though
it
was
for
very
good
reasons
,
as
hereafter
shall
appear
.
Yet
the
Spaniards
were
not
content
with
this
Resolution
of
his
Holiness
,
but
(
whil'st
the
Portugals
were
endeavoring
to
prove
their
Cause
,
by
both
Political
and
Legal
Declarations
,
Allegations
,
and
Arguments
,
)
fearing
lest
the
Pope
might
chance
to
alter
his
mind
,
resolved
to
make
a
quick
dispatch
of
the
Business
,
and
to
that
purpose
Two
hundred
Banditi
were
hired
to
seize
upon
the
Bishop
of
Lamego
,
and
carry
him
to
Naples
,
as
the
Prince
of
Sans
had
been
before
served
by
them
,
and
there
put
to
Death
.
But
this
Design
,
themselves
at
length
could
not
agree
upon
,
for
the
Marquess
De
Los
Velos
,
thought
it
would
be
better
and
less
dangerous
to
give
the
Portugals
a
Publick
Affront
in
the
City
,
which
was
concluded
to
be
put
in
effect
,
and
to
that
purpose
it
was
communicated
to
the
rest
of
the
Nation
,
(
whereof
upon
several
occasions
there
are
alwayes
many
in
Rome
)
who
assembled
together
well
Armed
at
the
Ambassadors
Palace
:
and
so
great
is
the
Power
of
Revenge
:
that
to
the
end
they
might
the
better
effect
their
design
,
and
yet
not
appear
as
Souldiers
,
though
there
were
many
Gentlemen
of
quality
amongst
them
,
they
condescended
to
go
under
the
name
of
Foot-men
to
the
Marquess
.
The
Popes
Holiness
hearing
of
the
great
preparations
of
the
Spaniard
,
sent
to
them
to
let
them
know
,
that
he
could
not
but
be
very
much
distasted
to
see
such
disorders
attempted
in
a
peaceable
City
,
and
therefore
desiring
them
for
his
Honors
sake
to
desist
,
and
withal
sent
a
Messenger
to
the
Bishop
of
Lamego
,
to
assure
him
that
he
need
not
fear
any
thing
,
for
upon
the
Word
of
his
Holiness
,
he
should
walk
the
Streets
undisturbed
.
But
do
the
Pope
what
he
could
,
either
by
threats
,
desires
,
or
perswasions
,
the
Spaniards
were
resolved
to
prosecute
their
design
,
which
they
put
in
execution
to
their
own
cost
,
on
the
twenty
of
August
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
forty
two
.
On
which
day
the
Bishop
of
Lamego
going
to
visit
the
French
Ambassador
,
one
of
his
retinue
observed
,
that
he
was
dog'd
by
a
Spanish
Spie
;
whereupon
a
Counter-Spie
was
sent
to
the
Marquesses
to
bring
intelligence
what
they
were
doing
there
,
who
brought
word
to
the
French
Ambassadors
,
that
there
was
great
preparations
of
Coaches
and
Men
:
whereupon
the
French
,
Portugals
,
and
Catalonians
,
assembled
,
and
armed
themselves
with
Pistols
and
Fire-locks
,
to
convoy
home
the
Bishop
.
By
the
way
they
were
met
by
the
Spanish
Ambassador
,
accompanied
with
about
eight
Coaches
full
of
Captains
and
Officers
come
from
Naples
,
and
guarded
with
about
sixty
Foot-men
,
besides
divers
others
of
that
Nation
.
No
sooner
came
they
in
sight
of
the
Bishops
Coach
,
but
they
cried
aloud
,
Che
si
fermassero
all'
Ambasciatore
di
Spagna
;
that
they
should
stop
for
the
Ambassador
of
Spain
:
but
the
Portugals
driving
on
,
answered
,
Che
fi
fermassero
Lavo
,
that
they
should
stop
.
Hereupon
both
sides
with
their
Swords
drawn
leapt
out
of
the
Coaches
,
and
making
a
stand
,
one
Gun
was
first
fired
by
the
Spaniards
side
,
and
immediately
seconded
with
a
brave
volley
on
both
sides
;
when
they
fell
into
Swords
point
,
the
Bishops
side
soon
getting
the
better
of
it
,
yet
there
was
slain
a
Knight
of
Malta
,
an
Italian
,
and
a
French
and
Portugal
page
,
but
on
the
Spanish
Marquesses
side
,
there
were
eight
killed
upon
the
place
,
and
above
twenty
wounded
,
the
Marquess
leaving
his
Coach-horses
dead
,
escaped
out
of
the
back
of
the
Coach
,
which
stood
upon
the
place
till
next
day
,
and
got
into
the
next
shop
without
his
hat
,
and
trembling
for
fear
,
from
whence
he
was
carried
to
the
Spanish
Cardinal
Albornoz
Palace
.
The
Portuguesse
Ambassador
returned
first
to
the
French
Palace
,
and
from
thence
went
safely
home
.
His
Holiness
the
Pope
was
extreamly
perplexed
at
these
disturbances
,
and
therefore
to
prevent
the
like
for
the
future
,
Commanded
a
guard
of
Souldiers
to
be
put
upon
the
houses
,
both
of
the
Bishop
and
the
Marquess
.
But
shortly
after
,
when
the
Bishop
of
Lamego
had
again
pressed
the
Pope
,
by
a
large
memorial
of
the
reasons
why
he
should
be
received
,
and
was
absolutely
refused
,
he
was
by
his
Master
the
King
of
Portugal
called
home
.
Whilst
these
things
were
acting
abroad
,
the
Castillians
begun
to
make
continual
in-roads
into
the
borders
of
Portugal
,
which
made
King
JOHN
look
more
narrowly
into
the
defence
of
his
Kingdom
,
fortifie
all
the
Frontiers
,
and
train
up
his
Subjects
to
military
exercises
.
The
Spaniards
in
one
in-road
which
they
made
into
Portugal
,
laid
waste
all
before
them
,
sparing
neither
Sex
nor
Age
wheresoever
they
came
,
which
made
the
Portugals
in
revenge
,
commit
the
like
out-rages
in
an
in-road
they
made
into
Gallicia
.
But
these
were
publick
enmities
,
and
therefore
more
easie
to
be
opposed
;
but
there
was
a
private
Serpent
that
lay
Lurking
at
home
,
which
was
so
much
the
likelier
to
do
mischief
,
by
how
much
it
was
more
secretly
hidden
.
Some
few
there
were
who
thought
themselves
so
highly
obliged
to
the
Catholick
King
,
as
to
endeavour
the
re-uniting
of
the
Crown
of
Portugal
to
his
vast
Dominions
,
and
again
inslave
their
Countrey
to
Forreigners
.
The
principal
of
these
was
the
Arch-bishop
of
Braga
,
alwayes
a
great
Creature
and
Favourite
of
the
Count
Olivarez
,
who
had
at
the
beginning
of
the
Revolt
,
show'd
himself
so
opposite
to
the
Freedom
of
his
Countrey
,
that
many
Gentlemen
were
once
resolved
to
make
him
suffer
the
same
fate
with
Vasconcellos
the
Secretary
;
Nor
had
he
ceased
ever
since
to
show
visible
signs
of
his
discontentment
at
the
Government
.
In
this
Arch-bishops
head
was
the
whole
Conspiracy
first
hatch't
,
and
by
him
communicated
to
D.
Lewis
de
Meneses
Marquess
of
Villa-real
,
and
the
Duke
of
Camigna
his
Son
,
two
Persons
sufficiently
Ambitious
,
and
both
discontented
,
as
not
thinking
themselves
sufficiently
rewarded
according
to
their
Merit
:
These
the
Archbishop
tampered
with
,
perswading
them
,
That
it
was
a
low
and
unworthy
thing
,
much
beneath
their
Birth
and
Greatness
,
to
suffer
themselves
to
be
subject
to
a
fellow-Subject
:
That
it
would
be
much
more
Noble
and
Generous
in
them
,
to
return
their
Allegiance
to
the
King
of
Spain
their
Antient
Soveraign
,
who
was
able
to
bestow
more
upon
a
Person
deserving
in
one
day
,
than
the
Duke
of
Braganza
could
in
an
hundred
years
.
These
and
few
other
Arguments
were
sufficient
to
draw
those
,
who
before
out
of
their
envy
to
the
House
of
Braganza
,
were
inclinable
to
a
change
.
These
made
sure
,
the
Arch-bishop
next
draws
into
this
Plot
a
Gentleman
of
a
Noble
Blood
,
named
,
D.
Augustine
Emanuel
,
a
man
of
excellent
parts
,
but
somewhat
necessitated
,
nor
had
ever
been
looked
upon
,
or
put
into
any
employment
,
which
without
any
other
incentives
,
were
motives
sufficient
to
move
a
man
to
any
desperate
design
.
Next
him
was
added
to
this
Conspiracy
,
Pietro
Baeza
,
a
lately
converted
Jew
,
whom
the
Portuguesses
call
Upstart
Christians
;
he
was
Famous
for
nothing
,
but
his
vast
Riches
;
being
a
great
Criado
of
the
Count
Olivarez
,
whose
Favour
,
he
used
often
to
say
,
would
one
day
advance
him
to
high
Honor
,
or
to
a
high
pair
of
Gallows
,
which
last
proved
very
true
.
Many
private
Meetings
had
these
,
and
some
few
other
Conspirators
,
where
they
debated
to
bring
their
Designs
to
effect
;
some
were
of
opinion
,
that
before
they
could
bring
it
to
perfection
,
more
should
be
acquainted
with
it
,
for
it
was
impossible
that
so
few
should
ever
be
able
to
compass
it
:
But
in
this
course
there
arose
many
fears
and
doubts
,
lest
too
many
being
acquainted
with
it
,
some
should
discover
it
,
as
had
often
hapned
in
Designs
of
that
high
Nature
:
yet
at
length
it
was
found
necessary
to
draw
more
into
the
Plot
,
for
whil'st
they
were
so
few
,
the
Business
only
rested
in
imagination
,
but
could
never
be
put
in
execution
.
Having
therefore
added
some
more
to
the
number
,
their
next
debates
were
of
the
manner
how
to
bring
it
to
effect
;
some
advised
that
a
Power
of
the
Catholick
Kings
was
to
be
got
in
a
readiness
,
but
they
then
thought
that
the
King
of
Portugal
would
raise
as
great
a
force
,
and
so
prevent
a
sudden
Invasion
:
Yet
in
answer
to
that
Objection
,
it
was
by
some
alledged
,
That
the
Spaniard
by
way
of
Intelligence
might
be
let
in
,
which
again
seemed
as
difficult
,
the
Militia
being
in
the
hands
of
Persons
most
Loyal
and
Trusty
to
the
King
:
Others
proposed
,
That
the
only
way
to
effect
it
,
was
by
a
sudden
and
violent
making
away
of
the
King
;
but
this
advice
was
opposed
by
most
,
who
inclined
to
a
mediocrity
,
and
would
rather
have
found
out
a
way
to
make
his
Majesty
renounce
his
own
Right
and
Title
to
the
Crown
,
and
retire
himself
from
the
dangers
which
should
be
presented
unto
him
.
But
whil'st
they
thus
wavered
in
opinions
,
and
inclined
to
that
moderation
,
which
is
the
ruine
of
all
Designs
of
this
Nature
,
they
gave
the
King
time
and
occasion
to
search
out
their
Plots
;
for
his
Majesty
having
alwayes
had
a
suspitious
eye
upon
the
Arch-bishop
of
Braga
,
and
the
Marquess
of
Villa-Real
,
and
having
received
now
private
notice
,
that
they
had
had
sundry
Meetings
,
and
were
observed
daily
to
converse
with
Persons
as
discontented
as
themselves
,
endeavored
by
all
means
possible
to
know
the
depth
of
their
Counsel
,
and
at
length
intercepts
some
of
their
Letters
to
Madrid
,
which
discovered
not
only
the
whole
Plot
,
but
even
the
names
of
all
the
Conspirators
.
The
Act
of
Holding
Correspondence
with
the
Spaniard
,
was
Treason
in
it self
,
sufficient
to
take
away
their
lives
,
being
contrary
to
his
Majesties
express
command
,
its
being
to
this
intent
,
made
it
but
so
much
the
more
hainous
:
His
Majesty
therefore
not
knowing
how
far
it
might
have
proceeded
,
made
no
delayes
,
but
presently
by
the
sound
of
Drum
and
Trumpet
(
as
the
Custom
is
)
caused
to
be
Proclaimed
,
That
he
intended
to
go
forth
of
the
City
;
upon
which
all
the
Nobles
and
Gentry
,
according
to
the
usual
manner
,
assembled
at
the
Palace
to
accompany
his
Majesty
,
who
when
he
saw
them
all
ready
,
commanded
first
that
a
Council
of
Estate
should
be
called
,
which
was
done
,
many
of
the
Conspirators
being
assistant
in
it
,
who
being
sate
,
his
Majesty
without
any
noise
caused
them
to
be
arrested
one
by
one
,
which
without
the
taking
of
this
course
,
he
could
never
have
effected
;
for
if
the
Conspiracy
had
been
detected
,
before
their
Persons
had
been
seized
,
they
had
either
been
torn
in
pieces
by
the
fury
of
the
People
,
or
else
had
some
of
them
escaped
.
It
was
very
strange
that
of
all
the
Plotters
in
this
Conspiracy
,
not
one
should
,
either
by
accident
,
or
otherwise
,
escape
,
for
the
Persons
of
these
now
taken
,
were
no
sooner
imprisoned
,
but
his
Majesty
published
a
Proclamation
,
declaring
a
Free
Pardon
to
all
the
Complices
in
this
Conspiracy
,
that
should
within
Four
dayes
come
and
acknowledge
their
fault
,
and
beg
it
;
but
the
Kings
diligence
had
been
such
before
,
that
there
was
not
one
left
to
accept
of
this
Grace
.
Shortly
after
those
who
had
been
taken
,
were
Arraigned
according
to
Law
,
found
Guilty
of
High
Treason
,
and
in
manner
following
executed
.
On
the
last
day
of
August
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
one
,
the
Marquess
of
Villa-Real
,
the
Duke
of
Camigna
,
his
Son
,
the
Count
de
Armamac
,
and
D.
Augustine
Manuele
,
were
led
along
a
Gallery
to
a
Scaffold
erected
for
the
purpose
,
with
two
stories
,
on
the
uppermost
of
which
stood
two
Chairs
,
on
the
next
one
,
and
on
the
Scaffold
it self
the
fourth
.
The
first
that
was
conducted
forth
to
Execution
,
was
the
Marquess
of
Villa-Real
,
who
was
clothed
in
a
long
black
Bayes
Cloak
,
and
his
servants
attending
him
in
mourning
,
being
mounted
to
the
uppermost
part
of
the
Scaffold
,
he
prayed
for
a
good
space
upon
his
knees
,
and
then
rising
up
,
asked
,
If
there
were
no
hopes
of
Pardon
?
which
made
the
people
with
one
voice
cry
out
,
No
,
let
him
die
,
let
him
die
for
a
Traytor
.
The
next
funebrious
Ceremony
of
his
Execution
,
was
the
Proclamation
,
which
according
to
the
usual
manner
was
made
by
the
Executioner
,
in
these
words
;
This
is
the
Justice
that
the
King
our
Soveraign
Lord
,
commands
to
be
executed
upon
the
person
of
Don
Lewis
de
Meneses
,
sometimes
Marquess
of
Villa-Real
,
that
his
throat
be
cut
as
a
Traytor
to
his
Majesty
,
Nobility
and
People
of
this
Kingdom
,
that
for
his
Crime
his
goods
be
confiscated
,
and
his
memory
banished
out
of
the
World
.
Whereat
all
the
people
cryed
out
,
Justice
,
Justice
.
The
Marquess
thereupon
seeing
no
hopes
of
any
Repreive
,
with
a
sober
and
becoming
gravity
demanded
Pardon
of
all
the
Spectators
,
desiring
them
to
assist
him
with
their
prayers
to
God
for
the
Pardon
of
this
,
and
all
his
other
sins
;
then
turning
to
a
Father-Jesuite
his
Confessor
,
he
prayed
him
in
his
behalf
to
present
himself
at
his
Majesties
feet
,
and
beseech
him
out
of
his
wonted
goodness
,
to
forgive
him
that
hainous
offence
committed
against
him
and
the
whole
Kingdom
.
Having
ended
this
Speech
,
he
very
patiently
sate
down
in
the
Chair
,
and
the
Executioner
having
tied
his
arms
and
legs
,
to
the
arms
and
legs
of
the
Chair
,
he
leaned
his
neck
over
the
back
of
the
Chair
,
and
the
Executioner
with
his
knife
cut
his
throat
,
covering
him
afterwards
with
a
black
Scarf
.
In
the
same
maner
his
son
the
Duke
of
Camigna
came
to
the
Scaffold
,
his
servants
all
attending
him
in
mourning
;
as
he
came
to
his
fathers
Corps
he
kneeled
down
,
and
several
times
kissed
his
feet
,
begged
of
the
people
the
suffrage
of
one
Pater
nostre
for
his
fathers
soul
;
then
after
some
prayers
,
and
Proclamation
made
by
the
Executioner
,
he
received
the
same
punishment
.
Next
that
suffered
was
the
Count
of
Armamac
,
in
the
Chair
seated
upon
the
lower
story
;
and
after
him
Don
Augustin
Manuel
upon
the
Scaffold
it self
;
the
Judges
would
have
had
all
their
necks
cut
behind
,
but
his
Majesty
would
not
consent
thereto
,
as
a
punishment
too
ignominious
for
persons
of
their
quality
.
The
same
day
Pietro
de
Baeza
,
and
Melchior
Correa
de
Franca
,
were
drawn
at
a
horse-tail
to
an
extraordinary
high
gallows
,
and
there
hanged
,
whilest
Diego
de
Brito
Nabo
,
and
Antonio
Valente
,
were
executed
upon
a
lower
;
the
Quarters
of
these
four
were
set
up
at
the
Gates
of
the
City
,
and
their
Heads
placed
upon
several
Frontier
Towns
.
In
the
Month
of
September
following
,
for
the
same
offence
Antonia
Cogamigne
,
and
Antonio
Correa
,
were
likewise
executed
,
the
first
of
which
during
the
whole
time
of
his
Imprisonment
,
was
an
example
of
Penitence
,
feeding
only
upon
Bread
and
Water
,
and
whipping
himself
very
often
,
with
continual
prayers
to
God
for
Pardon
of
that
,
and
all
his
other
sins
.
As
for
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Braga
,
and
the
Bishops
of
Martiria
and
Malacca
,
and
Fryer
Emanuel
de
Macedo
,
though
they
were
the
persons
that
had
the
greatest
hand
in
the
Conspiracy
;
yet
in
regard
they
were
Ecclesiastical
persons
,
they
suffered
not
death
,
according
to
their
deserts
,
but
were
kept
in
prison
,
till
the
Popes
pleasure
were
known
concerning
them
.
Here
must
not
be
forgot
a
great
example
of
humility
and
repentance
in
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Braga
,
not
only
in
his
life
time
(
when
he
often
writ
to
the
King
,
that
he
might
suffer
,
and
others
be
spared
,
who
were
rather
drawn
in
,
in
complyance
and
obedience
to
him
,
than
out
of
any
ill-will
to
the
King
and
Kingdom
(
but
also
at
his
death
(
which
hapned
about
Three
years
after
his
Imprisonment
)
when
he
gave
Order
,
That
as
soon
as
he
was
dead
,
his
Last
Will
and
Testament
should
be
carried
to
the
King
,
wherein
he
humbly
intreated
his
Majesty
to
Pardon
the
Treason
committed
against
him
,
and
his
Native
Countrey
,
and
that
he
would
permit
his
body
to
be
buried
without
the
Church
of
any
Parish
of
Lisbonne
,
and
that
without
any
Inscription
or
Tomb-stone
,
that
there
might
remain
no
memory
of
a
man
who
had
been
a
Traytor
to
his
King
and
Countrey
.
This
exemplary
punishment
,
and
rigorous
execution
of
Justice
upon
the
forementioned
trayterous
Delinquents
,
established
the
King
in
his
Kingdom
,
struck
a
terror
into
his
enemies
,
and
increased
his
Subjects
love
and
care
of
him
more
diligently
to
Watch
his
Royal
Families
,
and
the
Kingdoms
safety
.
But
in
the
mean
time
daily
incursions
were
made
upon
the
Frontiers
between
the
Castillians
and
Portuguesses
,
with
the
same
Violence
,
Cruelty
and
Animosity
,
as
formerly
.
About
the
beginning
of
the
year
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
two
(
notwithstanding
the
Truce
that
had
been
concluded
between
Portugal
and
Holland
,
and
that
a
great
Fleet
of
Hollanders
had
been
sent
to
assist
the
Portugal
against
the
Spaniard
)
there
passed
very
high
Acts
of
Hostility
between
the
two
Nations
in
Affrica
and
America
,
beyond
the
Line
;
for
the
Hollanders
seeing
the
disunion
of
Portugal
from
Castille
,
made
all
speed
possible
to
perfect
the
Conquest
of
those
parts
before
a
perfect
Peace
should
be
concluded
with
Portugal
,
that
so
in
the
Treaty
they
might
pretend
Reason
,
that
all
things
should
continue
in
the
state
they
were
then
found
.
To
this
purpose
,
that
is
,
the
expediting
their
Conquest
,
the
Hollanders
treacherously
(
whilest
there
was
all
quiet
and
peacable
Commerce
held
between
the
two
Nations
in
the
Kingdom
of
Angola
)
surprized
the
Portugals
that
were
Governors
of
the
place
,
Killed
divers
,
and
Robbed
all
of
the
great
Wealth
they
there
found
;
of
which
Perfidiousness
,
as
also
of
the
Barbarous
Usage
of
the
Prisoners
there
taken
,
Complaints
were
made
to
the
States
General
at
the
Hague
,
but
no
Redress
was
granted
;
nor
was
the
King
of
Portugal
of
Ability
to
force
it
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Affairs
in
Portugal
were
a
little
discomposed
by
the
general
Discontent
and
Distaste
taken
at
the
Secretary
of
State
,
Don
Francisco
de
Lucena
:
This
man
had
lived
a
long
time
in
the
Court
of
Spain
,
till
he
was
by
Olivarez
made
Under-Secretary
to
Vasconcellos
;
his
Readiness
to
Proclaim
King
JOHN
,
and
his
Abilities
in
the
place
,
made
the
King
continue
him
in
it
,
reposing
in
him
so
great
a
Confidence
,
That
though
some
had
Advertized
his
Majesty
that
he
kept
Correspondence
with
the
Court
at
Madrid
,
yet
the
King
would
not
suspect
him
,
nor
permit
him
to
be
brought
to
a
Trial.
But
about
the
middle
of
the
Year
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
three
;
the
urgent
Affairs
of
the
Kingdom
requiring
a
Convention
of
the
Three
Estates
,
they
openly
refused
all
Acts
that
should
pass
the
hands
of
Secretary
Lucena
,
positively
telling
his
Majesty
,
That
until
he
were
brought
to
Trial
,
no
Acts
should
Pass
in
the
Assembly
of
Estates
,
nor
any
farther
Proceedings
be
made
.
His
Majesty
was
very
much
Grieved
hereat
,
yet
prudently
Resolved
to
give
his
Subjects
Satisfaction
,
by
delivering
up
his
Secretary
to
Justice
;
yet
Resolving
he
should
have
a
fair
Trial
,
and
to
that
purpose
sitting
himself
to
hear
the
Witnesses
examined
.
Whilest
Process
was
framed
against
the
Secretary
,
some
secret
Advice
came
to
his
Majesty
,
which
caused
the
Imprisonment
of
the
Brother
,
and
Three
Servants
of
the
Secretary
,
together
with
an
English
Monck
,
and
a
Cavalier
of
the
Habit
;
not
long
after
,
the
Secretary
was
Arraigned
and
Condemned
for
betraying
his
Truth
,
in
holding
Correspondence
with
the
Enemy
,
and
in
neglecting
timely
to
Advertise
the
Infanta
Edward
to
retire
out
of
Germany
,
&c.
and
according
to
his
Sentence
,
executed
in
a
Publick
place
in
Lisbon
,
where
at
his
Death
,
he
protested
his
Innocency
touching
any
Treachery
towards
his
Majesty
.
The
Death
of
the
Secretary
both
pleased
the
People
,
and
satisfied
the
Assembly
of
Estates
,
who
now
,
according
to
his
Majesties
Command
,
met
on
September
18.
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
three
;
and
being
all
sate
,
and
his
Majesty
seated
in
his
Throne
,
D.
Emanuel
D'Acugna
,
Dean
of
his
Majesties
Chappel
,
rose
up
,
and
after
Reverence
made
to
the
King
,
spake
to
the
Effect
following
.
THat
in
the
space
of
Sixty
Years
,
that
that
Kingdom
was
under
the
Power
of
the
Kings
of
Castille
,
there
had
been
but
Two
Assemblies
of
States
;
the
first
to
Inslave
,
the
next
to
Abuse
them
.
But
that
since
they
were
under
the
present
King
,
within
the
space
of
Two
Years
,
they
had
Two
Assemblies
,
the
former
to
settle
their
Liberties
,
the
present
to
beget
a
right
Understanding
between
the
King
and
his
People
,
wherein
they
had
all
Freedom
to
demand
whatever
was
necessary
,
That
the
World
might
see
they
are
now
no
longer
Slaves
,
but
Children
;
no
longer
Strangers
,
but
Natives
;
and
that
they
are
under
rather
a
Loving
Father
,
than
a
Severe
Soveraign
.
In
the
former
Assembly
,
said
he
,
His
Majesty
took
all
the
Customs
,
and
left
the
Defence
of
the
Kingdom
to
your
hands
,
you
Ordered
what
seemed
good
unto
your selves
,
you
made
Choice
of
a
General
Assistance
by
way
of
Contribution
,
but
in
the
leaving
thereof
,
the
first
Payment
was
found
ineffectual
,
the
second
unequal
,
the
third
insufficient
;
whence
arose
some
Complaints
,
some
imagining
that
the
fault
proceeded
from
the
unequal
Division
of
the
Contribution
;
others
from
the
Change
of
Value
in
Money
and
Commodities
,
and
others
from
the
disorderly
Gathering
and
Disbursing
the
whole
.
I
may
easily
say
,
That
if
there
were
any
errour
committed
,
yet
it
might
be
excusable
for
that
;
Never
had
any
weighty
affair
its
Conception
and
Perfection
at
once
:
Then
shall
Errours
cease
to
be
in
Government
,
when
Men
shall
cease
to
be
in
the
World
.
These
things
are
to
be
endured
with
the
same
Patience
that
Droughts
,
Dearths
,
Inundations
,
and
such
other
Disorders
in
Nature
,
for
the
Wit
of
Man
cannot
hold
forth
a
Remedy
for
all
Diseases
.
But
certainly
they
will
be
no
ground
of
Reprehension
,
(
though
much
of
Admiration
)
to
him
that
shall
Consider
how
His
Majesty
entred
upon
a
Kingdom
,
exhausted
by
the
Castillians
of
Money
and
other
Necessaries
,
for
Offence
or
Defence
,
and
yet
how
in
less
than
a
Year
and
an
half
,
we
should
want
neither
Shipping
,
nor
Artillery
,
nor
Horse
,
nor
Arms
,
nor
Fortification
,
nor
Armies
upon
the
Frontiers
,
three
Powerful
Fleets
put
to
Sea
,
divers
Honorable
,
and
Extraordinary
Ambassages
,
besides
many
Secret
(
yet
Necessary
)
Expences
;
all
which
will
astonish
any
Understanding
Man
.
Now
to
the
end
that
the
People
may
have
full
satisfaction
,
His
Majesty
hath
Commanded
,
That
(
before
further
Proceeding
)
it
be
made
appear
Particularly
how
all
the
Money
Received
hath
been
laid
out
,
and
then
it
is
Expected
,
and
the
present
state
of
Affairs
Requireth
,
That
we
all
Contribute
Liberally
,
Considering
that
these
Charges
are
but
for
a
time
,
but
our
Liberties
are
for
ever
:
That
we
shall
never
have
a
better
opportunity
to
Destroy
our
Enemy
.
That
Nature
teacheth
,
To
Hazard
an
Arm
,
to
Save
the
whole
Body
:
The
Merchants
at
Sea
cast
away
some
part
of
their
Goods
sometimes
,
to
save
the
rest
;
we
are
now
on
Ship-board
in
a
Storm
,
our
Goods
,
our
Lives
,
our
Liberties
,
our
Honour
,
our
Countrey
,
are
all
in
Danger
.
Moreover
,
the
Barbarous
Usage
of
the
King
of
Castille
towards
the
Infante
Don
Edward
,
calls
upon
this
Assembly
for
Revenge
,
that
we
spend
not
only
our
Money
,
but
our
Blood
in
Affection
to
Him
,
and
that
we
make
our
Enemies
spend
theirs
in
Satisfaction
for
Him
,
&c.
This
Speech
of
the
Deans
was
spoken
with
so
much
Affection
,
that
it
stirred
up
and
encouraged
the
States
readily
to
give
all
Assistance
imaginable
,
both
for
Redressing
of
Grievances
,
and
for
the
Levying
Arms
,
so
that
within
a
small
time
after
,
the
King
was
in
the
Head
of
Twenty
thousand
Foot
,
and
Three
thousand
Horse
,
marching
towards
the
Fronteirs
of
Castille
.
Whil'st
these
great
preparations
for
Hostility
were
made
,
the
Queen
brought
forth
into
the
World
a
second
Son
to
His
Majesty
,
but
first
Child
after
he
came
to
the
Crown
,
which
added
to
the
Magnificence
of
his
Christning
,
he
was
named
Alphonso
,
and
his
Brother
Theodosio
dying
before
his
Father
,
succeeded
in
the
Kingdom
and
is
at
present
King
of
Portugal
.
Many
Skirmishes
had
passed
between
the
Castillians
and
Portuguesses
,
many
town
,
had
been
surprized
,
many
lands
wasted
,
but
never
happened
a
set-battel
between
them
till
in
the
year
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
four
,
when
both
Armies
met
upon
the
Border
of
Portugal
in
a
field
called
Campo
Major
.
The
Spanish
Army
which
for
the
most
part
consisted
of
strangers
,
was
under
the
Command
of
the
Marquess
of
Forrecusa
,
and
the
Portugal
Army
consisting
of
Natives
,
and
some
few
Hollanders
,
were
commanded
by
Macchias
de
Albuquerque
.
This
fight
was
maintained
with
all
possible
courage
and
resolution
on
both
sides
;
but
the
Spaniards
being
more
numerous
,
especially
in
horse
,
at
length
put
the
whole
Portuguese
Army
in
Disorder
,
seized
on
their
whole
Artillery
,
and
Baggage
,
and
slew
Albuquerques
Horse
under
him
,
took
many
Prisoners
,
and
assured
themselves
of
an
absolute
Victory
.
But
Fortune
which
had
thus
favourably
smiled
upon
them
in
the
beginning
of
the
Day
,
frowned
as
harshly
upon
them
in
the
Conclusion
;
for
Albuquerque
being
re-mounted
,
Rallied
again
his
scattered
Forces
,
re-charged
the
pursuing
Spaniards
,
put
them
to
a
total
Rout
,
and
pursued
the
Chase
for
above
three
Miles
.
In
this
Battel
the
Castillians
lost
One
thousand
six
hundred
men
upon
the
place
,
amongst
which
were
the
Lieutenant
General
,
the
General
of
the
Horse
,
the
General
of
the
Artillery
,
the
Count
de
Montixo
,
five
Camp-masters
,
two
Adjutants
of
Horse
,
three
Serjeant
Majors
,
three
and
twenty
Cornets
,
together
with
many
Knights
of
the
Order
of
St.
James
Calatrava
and
Alcantara
:
there
were
taken
about
Four
thousand
Arms
,
and
a
thousand
Horse
.
On
the
Portuguese
side
there
were
not
above
Three
hundred
slain
,
among
which
were
two
Camp-masters
,
one
Serjeant
Major
,
a
Captain
of
Horse
,
and
eight
of
Foot
,
but
many
Noblemen
,
Commanders
,
and
Officers
taken
Prisoners
in
the
first
encounter
,
were
carried
away
by
the
Spaniards
in
their
flight
.
It
was
not
long
after
this
Battel
,
that
the
Marquess
De
Montalban
,
D.
George
Mascaneras
Lord
Treasurer
,
President
of
the
Council
of
the
Indies
,
and
Councellor
of
Estate
,
with
some
others
,
were
imprisoned
upon
suspition
of
a
Conspiracy
against
the
King
of
Portugal
:
but
it
being
upon
Examination
found
,
that
the
suspition
was
by
the
Spaniards
cunningly
raised
,
to
deprive
King
JOHN
of
his
most
able
Ministers
,
and
to
make
the
World
believe
the
Portuguese
Nobility
were
discontented
with
their
King
;
they
were
set
at
Liberty
,
and
their
Honours
fully
repaired
by
a
Proclamation
of
the
Kings
.
For
the
Spaniards
ceased
not
by
all
means
and
devices
,
which
the
Will
and
Policy
of
the
most
wicked
States-men
could
invent
,
not
only
to
weaken
the
Portuguess
Nation
within
it self
,
by
breeding
discontents
(
if
possible
)
between
the
King
and
the
three
Estates
,
but
likewise
to
undervalue
them
,
and
make
their
credit
be
slighted
and
disregarded
by
other
Kingdoms
and
States
,
their
Confederates
and
Allies
.
Yet
besides
these
subtile
Ambages
,
the
King
of
Castille
did
not
desist
the
endeavoring
to
oppress
this
Kingdom
by
force
of
Arms
;
but
not
only
the
resolved
and
immutable
unity
of
the
Portuguess
Nation
,
was
a
strong
Tower
and
invincible
Fortress
against
the
Spanish
Power
,
but
so
extreamly
was
the
House
of
Austria
involved
in
Wars
and
Disasters
on
every
side
,
that
that
vast
Body
was
rather
in
a
condition
to
crave
help
and
assistance
from
others
,
than
indeed
to
oppress
them
.
For
besides
the
Wars
in
Catalonia
,
which
had
put
itself
under
the
protection
of
the
most
potent
King
of
France
,
in
the
Low-countreys
,
which
had
proved
so
tedious
and
so
chargeable
a
War
to
Spains
;
in
Italy
,
in
this
Kingdom
,
and
in
Germany
,
there
happened
several
Commotions
and
popular
Tumults
in
some
of
the
King
of
Spain's
Dominions
,
which
not
only
robbed
the
King
of
a
present
supply
of
Treasure
,
but
were
otherwise
retardments
to
the
prosecution
of
his
Wars
in
other
places
.
The
first
of
these
Commotions
began
in
the
Island
of
Sicily
,
where
the
people
gathering
together
in
a
tumultuous
manner
,
forced
the
Vice-roy
to
take
off
all
new
Imposts
and
Taxes
which
the
Kings
present
necessities
had
enforced
him
to
lay
upon
them
.
This
encouraged
their
neighbours
on
the
adjacent
Continent
,
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Famous
City
of
Naples
,
in
hopes
to
rid
themselves
of
their
oppressions
,
to
rise
in
like
manner
in
Arms
;
which
they
did
,
encouraged
and
commanded
by
one
Thomas
Aniello
,
or
vulgarly
Masaniello
,
who
though
of
so
mean
and
obscure
a
birth
as
a
poor
Fisher-boy
;
yet
to
the
wonder
of
the
World
for
ten
dayes
Commanded
this
mighty
City
,
and
freed
it
from
all
Gabels
,
so
that
ever
since
these
two
Kingdoms
of
Naples
and
Sicily
have
rather
been
a
great
charge
,
than
any
benefit
to
the
Spanish
Monarch
.
These
Troubles
,
and
the
Austrian
Families
being
every
where
encompassed
and
embroiled
in
Wars
,
together
with
the
earnest
desire
of
the
King
of
Castille
to
prosecute
a
vigorous
War
against
Catalonia
,
and
Portugal
,
were
I
suppose
the
motives
which
perswaded
the
Catholique
King
to
end
those
Wars
,
which
had
lasted
in
the
low
Countreys
for
above
ninety
years
,
by
owning
now
at
last
(
what
he
had
so
long
refused
)
the
united
Provinces
free
States
,
so
an
obsolute
peace
was
concluded
on
,
and
proclaimed
at
all
the
chief
towns
in
the
Netherlands
,
on
the
5.
of
June
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
eight
,
a
Peace
no
less
advantagious
to
the
Spaniards
,
than
disadvantagious
to
the
Portugals
,
by
reason
of
the
pretences
the
Dutch
had
to
Brazil
,
and
other
places
in
the
West-Indies
.
King
JOHN
of
Portugal
about
the
beginning
of
the
year
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
nine
,
thought
his
Son
the
Prince
Theodosio
arrived
at
an
age
fitting
to
keep
a
Court
of
himself
;
Lodgings
were
therefore
appointed
for
him
,
divided
from
the
Royal
Palace
,
and
Officers
of
his
Houshold
nominated
and
appointed
by
the
King
,
amongst
whom
the
Earls
of
Villa
nova
,
of
Miranda
,
of
Valdereis
&
Fernando
,
Telles
de
Monezez
,
(
who
had
formerly
been
Governour
of
the
City
of
Port
,
)
were
entrusted
as
the
principal
Gentlemen
of
his
Chamber
.
The
King
likewise
thought
fit
to
adde
a
third
to
the
two
former
Superintendants
of
his
Revenue
,
whom
he
nominated
to
be
D.
Rey
de
Moure
Tellez
,
whose
former
Office
of
Steward
to
the
Queen
,
was
at
the
same
time
conferred
on
D.
Antonio
de
Silva
Lord
of
Billas
.
Notwithstanding
the
Truce
,
the
Hollanders
still
continued
their
outrages
on
the
other
side
the
Line
,
but
principally
in
Brazil
,
where
they
seized
upon
many
of
the
Portugal
sorts
,
impeded
the
Traffick
,
abused
and
murthered
the
Subjects
,
which
made
His
Majesty
resolve
to
call
the
Earl
of
Castle
Melhor
from
his
charge
of
being
General
of
the
Portugal
Forces
upon
the
Frontiers
of
Gallicia
,
and
committing
that
to
the
young
Viscount
de
Villanova
de
Servera
that
the
Earl
might
be
imployed
as
Viceroy
to
Brazil
to
curb
the
Flemmings
insolencies
,
and
to
secure
the
Portuguess
Merchants
Ships
from
their
Pyracies
,
the
King
appointed
a
Fleet
of
forty
Ships
of
War
,
and
six
thousand
Men
to
attend
that
service
as
Convoys
.
His
Holiness
the
Popes
anger
as
yet
continued
towards
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
,
for
he
had
not
only
hitherto
refused
to
receive
Ambassadors
from
thence
,
but
to
supply
those
Archbishopricks
,
Bishopricks
,
and
other
Ecclesiastical
Offices
of
the
Kingdom
,
which
by
the
death
of
the
former
possessors
were
vacant
:
this
the
King
found
a
great
inconveniency
in
,
and
therefore
thought
fit
once
more
to
attempt
his
Holiness
;
and
to
present
him
the
names
of
such
of
his
own
Subjects
,
whose
piety
,
learning
,
or
other
sufficiencies
he
thought
might
make
them
capable
of
such
dignities
;
As
first
,
for
the
Archbishoprick
of
Braga
,
(
formerly
acknowledged
to
be
the
primacy
of
all
Spain
,
notwithstanding
the
pretensions
of
Toledo
)
he
nominated
Don
Pedro
de
Lancastro
,
President
of
the
Justice
of
the
Palace
of
the
House
of
Ameiro
,
and
descended
from
JOHN
the
second
King
of
Portugal
.
For
the
Archbishoprick
of
Evora
,
His
Majesty
nominated
D.
Francisco
Barrez
Bishop
of
the
Algarez
,
Bishoprick
he
bestowed
upon
the
Father
Dennis
Des
Anges
an
Augustine
Monk
,
and
Confessor
to
His
Majesty
:
for
the
Bishoprick
of
Guarda
was
appointed
D.
Antonio
Pobo
,
great
Prior
of
the
Military
Order
of
St.
James
:
for
the
Bishoprick
of
Lamego
,
D.
Antonio
de
Mendosa
Commissary
of
the
Bula
de
la
Croisaida
:
for
the
Bishoprick
of
Lerida
,
D.
Deigo
de
Souza
Inquisitor
of
the
holy
Office
:
for
that
of
Conimbra
,
Don
Sebastian
Casar
de
Menerez
,
who
was
before
nominated
for
the
Bishoprick
of
Porto
,
but
that
was
given
by
his
Majesty
to
D.
Pedro
de
Menerez
,
once
named
Bishop
of
Miranda
,
of
which
last
place
D.
Pedro
de
Porros
Tutor
of
the
Prince
D.
Theodosio
was
now
named
Bishop
.
These
choices
of
his
Majesty
,
the
Pope
after
some
time
Confirmed
D.
Francisco
de
Souza
,
who
was
sent
as
extraordinary
Ambassador
,
notwithstanding
the
opposition
of
the
Spaniards
received
,
not
unlikely
out
of
a
fear
that
they
would
Officiate
without
his
Confirmation
,
and
so
in
a
manner
Renounce
the
Power
of
the
See
of
Rome
.
But
in
the
middest
of
this
setling
of
Ecclesiastical
affairs
,
Arms
were
not
silent
,
for
upon
the
Borders
there
hapned
a
Skirmish
between
the
Castillians
and
Portuguese
about
the
latter
end
of
April
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
forty
and
nine
,
Lord
of
Themer
Court
,
Lieutenant
General
of
the
Portuguese
Horse
,
and
Monsieur
Du
Quesne
the
Commissary
General
gained
a
Victory
over
a
small
Army
of
the
Spaniards
,
defeating
Seven
hundred
of
the
Spaniards
,
and
taking
divers
Prisoners
,
amongst
whom
was
the
Nephew
of
the
Marquess
of
Melinguen
Lieutenant
General
of
the
Castillian
Army
at
Badajox
,
who
was
after
exchanged
for
the
Count
Fiesque
Lauagna
,
who
for
some
years
past
had
been
Prisoner
in
Castille
:
in
this
Conflict
the
Portuguese
lost
but
Twenty
five
men
,
the
Chief
of
which
was
Sieur
de
la
Touche
,
a
French
Captain
,
who
had
behaved
himself
most
Valorously
.
The
Commotions
of
the
Perisians
against
the
King
of
France
,
had
given
the
Spaniard
great
hopes
of
better
success
than
they
had
many
years
had
,
but
the
middle
of
the
Year
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
nine
,
happily
concluding
them
,
the
news
of
their
Pacification
,
and
that
of
a
great
Victory
gained
by
the
Portuguesses
against
the
Hollanders
in
Brazile
,
caused
a
general
joy
over
all
Portugal
;
for
the
King
appointed
Publick
Thanks
to
be
given
,
and
Te
Deum
to
be
Sung
in
all
Churches
.
Hopes
to
revenge
the
late
defeat
given
by
the
Lord
Therimicourt
,
and
desire
to
do
some
Valiant
Act
before
he
departed
from
his
Government
,
made
the
Marquess
of
Leganez
Governour
of
the
Spanish
Forces
at
Estramadura
,
give
an
Alarum
to
the
Portuguese
Frontiers
,
and
enter
into
the
Countrey
with
Two
thousand
Horse
,
and
Six
thousand
Foot
,
but
the
Valiant
Count
of
St.
Laurence
assaulting
him
,
forced
him
to
retire
with
shame
,
and
excuse
himself
that
he
marched
out
only
to
meet
the
Marquess
of
Mortare
,
who
was
appointed
to
succeed
him
in
the
Government
.
Yet
this
small
and
worthless
Alarum
,
made
the
King
of
Portugal
,
who
knew
that
too
much
care
could
not
be
had
of
the
Safety
of
his
Kingdom
,
to
send
Orders
to
the
Governors
to
look
more
exactly
to
the
Countreys
committed
to
their
Charges
,
than
formerly
,
and
strictly
to
give
Charge
to
Don
Juan
de
Menezez
Governor
of
Porto
.
The
Viscount
Ponte
de
Lima
Governor
of
the
Countreys
between
Douro
and
Mimbo
,
to
the
Count
of
Arogna
Governor
of
Trasmontes
,
and
Don
Roderigo
de
Castro
Governor
of
Beira
,
to
repair
with
all
expedition
to
their
several
Commands
.
Nor
was
his
Majesty
less
careful
of
his
Dominions
abroad
,
than
of
those
near
home
,
which
made
him
dispatch
the
Baron
of
Alviro
to
be
Governor
of
Tanger
,
and
D.
Francisco
de
Norogna
to
Mazagan
,
both
strong
Forts
in
Affrica
;
the
last
of
which
had
been
neer
surprized
by
the
Moors
of
Barbary
,
but
the
Commander
of
that
Party
which
assaulted
it
,
being
slain
by
a
Valorous
French-man
,
they
were
beaten
off
with
loss
,
for
which
service
the
King
bestowed
upon
the
French-man
a
Pension
of
Six
hundred
Crowns
per
annum
.
And
whil'st
His
Majesty
was
distributing
his
Bounties
,
he
could
not
forget
the
Lady
Dona
Maria
Manuel
,
Widow
to
the
some-time
before
deceased
D.
Antonio
Coello
,
D.
Caravallio
,
who
had
ever
since
His
Majesties
coming
to
the
Crown
,
been
one
of
His
Privy-Councellors
,
and
was
one
of
the
Chief
Persons
that
went
Ambassadors
into
France
,
to
renew
the
Alliance
,
and
conclude
a
firm
League
between
the
King
of
Portugal
,
and
Lewis
the
Thirteenth
King
of
France
;
His
Majesty
therefore
in
consideration
of
his
services
,
bestowed
a
valuable
Pension
on
his
aforesaid
Widow
.
There
was
almost
daily
in-roads
made
upon
the
Frontiers
in
some
places
or
other
,
amongst
the
rest
,
the
Baron
of
Themericourt
entred
with
a
strong
Party
into
the
Spanish
Territories
,
surprised
the
Suburbs
of
the
City
of
Albuquerque
,
and
brought
away
a
very
rich
Booty
,
without
the
loss
of
so
much
as
one
Souldier
upon
the
place
,
and
not
above
Twenty
wounded
.
The
succour
of
the
distressed
Subjects
of
the
more
distressed
King
of
England
,
about
the
Year
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifty
,
gave
occasion
to
the
King
of
Portugal
to
manifest
his
affection
to
the
English
Nation
,
which
he
did
by
giving
assistance
to
the
Gallant
Prince
Rupert
,
who
being
by
His
Majesty
of
England
made
Admiral
of
those
few
Ships
which
in
the
Year
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
forty
eight
,
returned
to
their
Allegiance
,
had
ever
since
been
pursued
by
the
more
Potent
Fleets
of
the
English
Rebels
,
and
was
now
by
them
driven
to
seek
the
protection
of
his
Portugal
Majesty
,
who
notwithstanding
that
the
Fleet
of
the
Rebels
with
threatning
Bravado's
,
demanded
the
said
Kings
leave
,
either
to
assault
them
in
his
Port
,
or
to
force
them
to
come
out
bravely
,
protected
them
under
his
Castles
.
In
Revenge
of
which
,
the
Rebels
of
England
,
who
stiled
themselves
a
Parliament
,
Proclaimed
an
open
War
with
the
Portugal
Nation
,
which
his
Majesty
,
notwithstanding
his
great
Engagement
at
that
present
,
both
against
the
Spaniards
at
home
,
and
the
Hollanders
on
the
other
side
the
Line
,
resolved
to
endure
,
rather
than
deliver
up
the
faithful
Subjects
of
England
into
the
hands
of
Murther
,
Tyranny
,
and
Treason
;
and
therefore
in
part
to
cry
quittance
with
the
English
,
who
had
taken
Prize
several
Ships
belonging
to
this
Nation
,
he
made
seizure
of
all
the
English
Ships
and
Goods
within
his
whole
Dominions
,
but
only
those
he
had
before
Protected
.
But
at
length
Prince
Rupert
finding
a
clear
Passage
from
out
his
Ports
,
where
he
had
for
many
Months
been
blocked
up
,
the
King
,
by
Reason
of
his
other
large
Expences
in
defence
of
his
Kingdom
,
finding
himself
unable
to
maintain
a
War
against
the
English
;
and
Nature
dictating
us
to
the
Preservation
of
our Selves
,
Resolved
,
more
moved
out
of
Necessity
,
than
Inclination
,
to
send
an
Agent
into
England
to
conclude
a
Peace
.
The
Person
deputed
to
go
on
this
unpleasant
Employment
(
viz.
to
Court
Rebels
)
was
D.
Suarez
de
Gimeraines
,
who
had
for
his
Assistance
and
Interpreter
,
Mr.
Miles
an
English
Merchant
,
these
two
Embarqued
upon
a
Hamburgher
hired
for
that
purpose
by
the
King
of
Portugal
,
arrived
in
England
,
in
January
1650.
About
the
beginning
of
February
,
D.
Suarez
had
Audience
before
a
Committee
of
the
pretended
Parliament
,
to
whom
he
made
a
Speech
in
Latine
to
this
Effect
.
THE
Serenissimo
King
of
Portugal
my
Master
,
sends
me
hither
to
the
Parliament
of
the
Common-wealth
of
England
that
on
his
behalf
,
and
in
his
Name
,
having
first
most
friendly
saluted
you
(
as
I
now
do
with
the
greatest
Affection
of
my
heart
that
I
am
able
)
I
may
jointly
tender
and
make
known
to
you
the
Royal
Desire
which
my
Master
feels
within
himself
,
to
conserve
,
and
more
and
more
to
knit
the
knot
of
that
Amity
which
uninterrupted
,
hath
ever
been
between
the
Serenissimo
Kings
of
Portugals
their
Ancestors
,
and
this
Renowned
English
Nation
.
It
being
my
part
to
endeavor
what
lies
in
me
,
to
remove
all
obstacles
that
may
hinder
the
most
vigorous
effect
of
this
hearty
union
,
and
conjunction
of
so
to
preserve
inviolably
the
ancient
peace
between
us
.
This
I
come
to
continue
,
hoping
and
wishing
all
happy
success
therein
;
this
I
come
to
intimate
and
offer
unto
the
Parliament
of
the
Commonwealth
of
England
,
with
that
sincere
and
pristine
affection
,
which
hitherto
the
experience
of
many
ages
hath
made
manifest
.
Nor
shall
you
need
to
scruple
the
sincerity
of
my
intention
and
purpose
,
by
reason
of
the
divers
past
attempts
(
not
to
say
fights
)
between
your
power
and
ours
,
since
they
have
not
been
such
as
have
broken
or
dissolved
our
amity
,
nor
have
had
their
rise
or
approbation
from
the
King
my
Master
;
nor
as
we
believe
from
the
Parliament
of
the
Commonwealth
of
England
,
but
more
probably
carried
on
either
by
the
impulse
of
their
own
private
affections
,
or
by
the
defect
of
that
circumspection
which
in
such
cases
is
ever
necessary
.
But
as
I
hope
particularly
and
fully
to
prove
(
and
indeed
to
demonstrate
)
this
truth
unto
the
Parliament
of
the
Republique
of
England
,
so
I
am
assured
they
will
not
only
rest
satisfied
therein
,
but
shall
also
have
accruing
to
them
a
newer
force
,
and
sence
of
mutual
friendship
between
us
,
since
the
jars
that
happen
amongst
friends
,
are
oftentimes
justly
accounted
as
certain
redintigrations
of
love
.
And
I
do
admire
our
enemies
have
not
made
this
reflection
,
whilst
fed
with
vain
hope
,
they
have
thought
it
in
their
power
to
sow
and
foment
discords
between
us
,
upon
presumption
of
this
t●ivial
innovation
.
The
King
my
Master
sends
me
to
continue
and
preserve
our
common
and
ancient
peace
,
whereof
I
am
to
make
a
tender
unto
the
Parliament
of
the
Common-wealth
of
England
in
His
Majesties
behalf
,
as
proceeding
from
a
perfect
sincerity
in
his
Royal
breast
,
and
whereunto
he
is
chiefly
drawn
by
the
Motive
of
his
singular
esteem
and
love
,
he
bears
unto
this
English
Nation
.
And
this
,
as
the
main
point
I
shall
recommend
unto
you
,
both
in
regard
of
your
greater
good
and
ours
,
and
as
a
thing
of
highest
concernment
,
that
we
reflect
how
little
it
can
be
pleasing
to
Almighty
God
,
and
how
derogatory
it
must
needs
be
to
our
reputation
on
both
sides
,
to
give
the
least
beginning
of
discord
between
two
Christian
Nations
,
so
well
affected
to
one
another
as
we
are
.
It
is
manifest
unto
the
Parliament
of
the
Commonwealth
of
England
,
and
to
all
Europe
besides
;
in
how
wonderful
a
manner
(
such
as
was
only
possible
to
God
,
the
King
my
Master
was
restored
to
his
Kingdoms
,
and
how
the
Divine
Majesty
(
whose
handy-work
this
was
)
doth
by
his
especial
care
and
grace
defend
and
continue
this
Restoration
.
Which
as
it
doth
dayly
more
appear
by
the
victories
we
have
over
our
enemies
at
home
,
so
again
it
is
seen
in
our
remotest
and
most
distantial
dominions
in
the
East-Indies
,
where
even
at
a
huge
distance
(
His
Majesty
possessing
the
hearts
of
his
people
)
enjoyes
the
greatest
peace
in
the
world
,
and
is
secure
in
Affrica
relying
therein
upon
his
prosperous
and
happy
powers
.
To
conclude
,
the
King
my
Master
,
lest
any
thing
should
be
wanting
to
render
him
compleatly
happy
,
hath
(
according
to
the
wish
of
an
ancient
Christian
Author
,
for
securing
the
prosperity
of
the
Roman
Empire
)
a
faithful
Senate
,
puissant
Armies
,
and
a
most
obedient
people
,
Fortifications
in
the
judgement
of
wisest
politicians
,
conducing
and
necessary
both
to
defend
and
increase
Empires
and
Kingdoms
.
Now
in
this
good
condition
of
not
only
gaining
and
conserving
friends
,
but
also
of
vanquishing
our
enemies
,
the
King
my
Master
loves
and
embraces
peace
,
as
the
chiefest
good
amongst
humane
things
,
holding
it
forth
to
all
Kingdoms
and
Commonwealths
,
but
especially
to
this
of
England
,
with
that
exceeding
good
will
which
he
hath
hitherto
born
,
and
shall
ever
bear
unto
the
same
,
standing
thereunto
obliged
by
such
bonds
of
love
and
good
offices
,
as
shall
never
be
forgotten
by
His
Majesty
.
For
the
people
of
this
Nation
are
the
most
worthy
successors
of
those
their
Heroick
Ancestors
,
who
by
their
just
power
and
Arms
came
freely
to
vindicate
our
Crowns
from
the
Mahumetan
oppressions
.
And
are
,
if
not
the
same
persons
,
at
least
their
Children
,
who
inflamed
with
a
fervor
and
zeal
of
defending
the
Crown
of
Portugal
,
justly
did
disdain
to
see
it
in
the
unjust
possession
of
a
forreign
Prince
.
They
are
,
I
say
,
those
who
with
so
mature
deliberation
and
resolution
,
endeavoured
to
snatch
away
this
undue
possession
from
the
said
Usurper
,
maugre
the
concurrence
of
some
ill-affected
Portugals
with
our
enemies
;
and
that
they
might
atchieve
this
end
glorious
to
themselves
,
and
to
us
emolumental
,
they
are
those
who
covered
these
as
with
their
Squadrons
and
Fleets
of
Ships
,
ever
formidable
to
their
most
potent
enemies
by
a
new
example
of
an
unheard
of
valour
(
had
our
unfortunate
Stars
then
given
us
leave
to
be
happy
)
come
up
to
the
very
walls
of
Lisbon
.
And
this
having
formerly
been
between
us
and
them
most
powerful
Englishmen
,
and
our
most
loving
brethren
,
now
that
the
Crown
of
Portugal
(
for
which
you
have
fought
so
valiantly
,
when
it
was
unlawfully
detained
,
is
happily
restored
to
the
possession
of
the
natural
,
and
lawful
King
to
whom
of
right
it
appertains
)
who
would
not
admire
to
see
you
bend
your
equal
power
,
(
upon
no
occasion
given
)
against
the
true
and
rightful
King
of
Portugal
by
joyning
with
,
and
favouring
the
same
Usurper
(
beaten
by
us
)
from
whom
your selves
did
heretofore
by
force
of
your
own
Arms
in
our
behalfs
endeavor
to
snatch
and
wrest
away
that
Crown
he
had
unjustly
seized
upon
,
and
whom
indeed
you
have
hitherto
both
in
desire
and
effect
opposed
.
It
would
to
all
the
world
seem
a
thing
much
removed
from
the
innate
generosity
and
gallantry
of
this
your
Nation
,
and
very
ill
suiting
with
your
Christian
justice
and
equality
,
as
also
it
would
be
a
very
unworthy
requital
of
us
(
who
have
deserved
better
at
your
hands
)
and
of
that
benevolence
and
affection
wherewith
the
whole
Kingdom
of
Portugal
is
passionately
carrying
on
towards
you
,
wishing
unto
you
the
same
happinesse
that
we
our selves
desire
to
enjoy
.
Let
therefore
these
imaginary
Clouds
of
discord
vanish
,
and
be
quite
blown
over
from
our
thoughts
,
as
serving
only
to
Eclipse
with
darkness
,
the
clear
light
of
our
antient
amity
,
which
(
with
what
intention
God
Almighty
knows
,
)
the
importune
sagacity
of
our
Common
enemy
would
fain
deprive
us
of
.
Let
all
obstacles
be
removed
,
and
thrown
quite
away
,
wherewith
the
true
serving
polititians
by
their
inbred
ambition
of
an
universal
Monarchy
do
conspire
the
ruine
of
us
both
,
aiming
at
nothing
more
then
to
set
us
together
by
the
ears
,
that
overthrowing
each
other
with
our
own
Wars
,
we
may
have
breasts
open
(
when
our
powers
are
exhausted
)
to
their
swords
and
wounds
,
with
greater
advantage
against
our selves
,
and
less
hazard
unto
them
.
This
new
Republique
is
built
upon
strong
and
sure
foundations
,
as
also
our
antient
and
restored
Kingdoms
,
let
us
therefore
cast
our
eyes
unto
the
common
interest
of
our
cause
,
joyning
hands
,
and
mutual
benevolence
to
such
effect
,
as
may
render
both
parties
security
,
the
greater
forbearing
,
and
bewaring
above
all
things
,
all
provocations
,
or
irruptions
of
War
,
whereby
(
besides
the
inconveniences
,
and
losses
which
they
ever
draw
after
them
,
)
all
our
own
affairs
and
safety
may
be
hazarded
extreamly
,
while
their
councels
and
endeavors
will
be
promoted
,
who
by
hidden
and
wicked
arts
,
strive
to
extend
their
own
power
by
the
common
waste
they
would
make
in
ours
.
The
King
of
Portugal
my
Master
,
hath
sent
me
hither
furnished
with
a
firm
ample
plenipotentiary
power
,
that
discussing
,
and
screwing
all
the
just
and
convenient
means
,
I
may
confer
about
the
conservation
of
Peace
,
and
(
removing
all
emergent
obstacles
and
scruples
)
resolve
,
and
establish
with
the
Parliament
of
the
Commonwealth
of
England
,
whatsoever
shall
be
necessary
for
composing
of
our
present
affairs
,
and
maturely
to
provide
with
the
greatest
security
that
may
be
possible
,
for
their
future
well-being
.
I
therefore
beseech
the
Parliament
of
the
Commonwealth
of
England
,
that
weighing
and
considering
these
things
which
I
have
exhibited
,
they
would
please
to
decree
whatsoever
shall
seem
to
them
most
convenient
and
just
.
To
this
large
Speech
of
forced
and
known
flattery
,
if
we
respect
it
in
relation
to
the
persons
it
was
spoke
to
,
(
though
most
true
in
those
particulars
relating
to
the
English
Nation
whil'st
monarchical
)
was
answered
by
the
Rebels
,
with
a
large
Harange
of
the
injuries
they
supposed
done
them
by
the
protection
of
Prince
Ruperts
Fleet
,
and
seizure
of
the
English
Merchants
Ships
and
Goods
,
concluding
that
they
must
have
reparation
made
them
for
the
publique
damage
of
the
Common-wealth
,
which
they
would
be
willing
to
accept
of
in
any
honourable
manner
,
and
were
willing
to
that
purpose
,
if
the
Ambassador
had
sufficient
power
to
treat
with
him
to
that
effect
.
In
summe
,
after
some
time
the
Count
Del
Sa
Lord
Chamberlain
of
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
arrived
in
England
,
in
the
quality
of
an
Ambassador
extraordinary
,
who
after
many
Conferences
,
Addresses
,
and
large
Offers
made
,
obtained
a
Peace
,
upon
condition
to
repay
great
Summes
of
money
towards
the
satisfaction
of
the
losses
of
the
English
Merchants
.
During
the
stay
of
this
Ambassador
,
his
brother
D.
Pantaleon
Sa
,
Knight
of
Malta
,
led
by
I
know
not
what
frantick
madnesse
,
made
a
great
uproar
upon
the
New
Exchange
in
London
,
where
some
English
,
were
by
him
and
his
Followers
,
murdered
;
for
which
several
of
his
retinue
were
hanged
,
and
himself
,
notwithstanding
the
earnest
solicitations
of
his
brother
,
afterwards
beheaded
on
Tower-hill
,
when
the
government
of
England
was
changed
from
a
strange
kinde
of
Common-wealth
,
to
a
stranger
kind
of
Monarchy
,
under
a
Protector
.
But
to
return
back
again
to
the
affairs
of
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
.
The
Earl
of
Castle
Melhor
who
had
been
sent
Vice-Roy
into
Brazil
,
had
so
good
success
,
that
with
the
assistance
of
those
Portuguesses
before
in
the
Kingdom
,
he
expulsed
the
Hollanders
out
of
all
their
Garrisons
there
,
except
the
strong
Fortress
of
Recif
,
which
was
built
upon
a
Rock
wholly
invironed
by
the
Sea
.
This
animated
the
United
States
of
the
Netherlands
,
to
endeavor
a
revenge
and
recovery
of
that
country
,
and
to
that
end
and
purpose
,
a
Potent
Fleet
was
set
out
,
and
notwithstanding
the
very
earnest
endeavors
,
and
large
offers
of
the
Portuguess
Ambassador
at
the
Hague
,
set
sail
to
reconquer
that
Kingdom
,
but
not
with
that
success
which
was
expected
,
for
the
expedition
proved
wholly
fruitless
,
and
after
so
great
an
expence
,
the
States
were
so
highly
discontented
,
that
the
Admiral
Wittison
was
arrested
at
the
Hague
,
to
answer
such
things
as
should
be
objected
against
him
concerning
that
voyage
.
It
much
concerns
that
King
who
hath
to
deal
with
enemies
too
potent
for
him
,
to
strengthen
himself
with
such
Alliance
,
as
may
most
advantage
him
,
and
endamage
his
Foe
;
This
consideration
made
King
JOHN
of
Portugal
,
about
the
year
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifty
two
,
send
an
Ambassador
to
the
young
Duke
of
Savoy
,
(
who
by
reason
of
the
scituation
of
his
Country
,
had
good
and
frequent
opportunities
to
annoy
the
Catholique
King
,
)
and
divert
him
from
turning
his
whole
Force
upon
this
Kingdom
)
offering
reciprocal
Marriage
between
that
Duke
and
his
Daughter
,
and
the
young
Prince
Theodosia
and
Savoys
Sister
.
But
this
his
intention
,
was
I
suppose
diverted
,
if
not
wholly
hindred
by
the
great
power
of
Cardinal
Mazarine
in
France
,
who
designed
one
of
his
Nieces
as
a
fit
match
for
Eugenius
young
Duke
of
Savoy
.
'T
is
not
at
all
safe
nor
fit
for
a
subject
to
grow
too
rich
,
at
least
not
to
exceed
his
Soveraign
in
Treasure
,
for
he
thereby
layes
himself
open
to
the
envie
and
suspition
of
his
Prince
,
nor
is
it
possible
that
any
who
hath
managed
a
publick
imployment
,
can
be
so
without
faults
,
as
that
somewhat
cannot
be
laid
to
his
charge
to
render
him
at
a
Kings
mercy
.
Sufficient
example
of
this
we
have
in
D.
Phillip
de
Mascarendas
Vice-Roy
of
Goa
in
the
East-Indies
,
who
having
for
many
years
officiated
in
that
high
imployment
,
had
gathered
up
an
infinite
Mass
of
Riches
,
and
now
being
called
home
,
thought
in
peace
and
quiet
to
enjoy
what
with
a
penurious
and
industrious
hand
he
had
been
many
years
storing
up
:
but
the
King
being
informed
that
he
had
indeed
such
a
vaste
treasure
in
Gold
,
Diamonds
,
Pearls
and
other
Jewels
,
as
he
could
not
with
his
own
honor
or
safety
permit
a
Subject
to
enjoy
,
easily
found
out
them
who
were
ready
to
form
complaints
against
him
,
which
were
as
readily
listned
to
by
the
Kings
Council
,
who
presently
drawing
up
a
charge
against
him
,
for
having
used
an
arbitrary
power
,
oppressed
,
and
abused
the
Subjects
,
and
Merchants
trading
thither
,
&c.
caused
the
Ship
wherein
he
came
,
with
all
the
riches
laden
on
it
,
to
be
seized
on
for
the
Kings
use
,
and
himself
for
some
time
imprisoned
,
nor
had
it
been
a
wonder
if
he
had
made
a
forfeiture
of
his
life
,
as
well
as
of
the
greatest
part
of
his
estate
.
The
strength
of
the
Hollanders
at
Sea
,
had
been
the
greatest
obstacle
to
the
Portuguese
,
not
wholly
regaining
their
ancient
possession
in
Brazile
,
but
the
Wars
wherein
the
Hollanders
had
involved
themselves
with
England
,
proving
so
powerful
a
diversion
,
the
Portuguese
took
the
advantage
to
reduce
Recif
,
which
with
several
Forts
that
encompassed
it
,
and
some
few
other
,
were
the
only
places
that
held
out
against
them
.
Against
this
therefore
with
a
sufficient
Land-force
,
came
Don
Francisco
Barreto
,
Governor
of
Pernambuco
,
(
whil'st
the
Portuguese
Navy
consisting
of
65.
Sayl
,
blocked
it
up
by
sea
,
)
and
first
by
storm
took
the
Fort
of
Salines
,
and
thence
coming
before
that
of
Burracco
,
found
it
already
abandoned
,
and
blown
up
by
the
defendants
:
he
next
proceeded
to
the
new
Fortress
,
the
next
and
strongest
Fort
to
that
of
Recif
,
and
well
manned
and
munitioned
.
Thus
having
made
a
sturdy
resistance
,
was
at
length
forced
by
the
Portugal
,
which
so
amazed
the
Hollanders
,
that
though
they
had
fifteen
hundred
men
,
and
six
months
provisions
in
Recif
,
yet
they
agreed
to
yield
it
upon
honorable
terms
on
the
26
of
January
1654.
being
twenty
four
years
after
they
had
taken
it
from
the
Portugals
.
THE
Conditions
upon
which
this
strong
Fortress
was
surrendred
up
,
were
to
this
effect
.
1.
That
D.
Francisco
Barreto
should
forget
all
Acts
of
Hostility
made
by
the
Hollanders
against
the
Portugals
by
Sea
and
Land
.
2.
That
all
persons
whatsoever
,
even
the
Jewes
in
Recif
,
and
Maurice
-
town
,
though
Rebels
against
the
King
of
Portugal
,
should
be
pardoned
.
3.
That

sufficient
number
of
ships
able
to

Equinoctial

,
with

.
5.
That
the
Hollanders
married
with
Portugal
Women
,
or
Natives
there
,
should
be
dealt
so
withal
,
as
if
they
had
married
Dutch
Women
,
and
should
with
the
consent
of
the
Women
,
have
power
to
carry
them
away
with
them
.
6.
That
those
who
would
stay
there
under
the
Obedience
of
the
Portugals
,
should
be
used
as
well
as
if
they
were
Native
Portugals
,
and
as
to
their
Religion
,
should
live
as
other
strangers
do
in
Portugal
.
7.
That
all
Forts
about
Recif
and
Maurice
town
,
viz.
the

,
Boa
,
Vista
,
St.
Austines
,
Convent
,
the
Castle
of
Maurice
-
town
,
that
of
the
three
Bastions
,
the
Brum
,
with
it's
Redoubt
,
the
Castle
of
St.
George
,
and
all
others
should
be
surrendred
to
the
aforesaid
D.
Francisco
Barreto
,
Governour
of
Pernambucco
,
with
all
the
Ordnance
and
Ammunition
presently
after
the
signing
of
these
Articles
.
8.
That
the
Hollanders
should
be
free
to
remain
in
Recif
and
Maurice
-
town
for
Three
Months
,
they
surrendring
their
Arms
,
which
should
be
restored
to
them
when
they
took
shipping
,
and
in
the
mean
while
they
should
have
power
to
buy
them
necessary
provisions
of
the
Portugals
for
the
Voyage
.
9.
All
Negotiations
and
Alienations
should
be
made
during
the
said
Three
Months
according
to
the
present
Articles
.
10.
That
the
Governour
should
quarter
his
Forces
where
he
pleased
,
and
that
the
Hollanders
should
be
protected
during
those
Three
Months
,
and
having
Liberty
to
end
their
private
Differences
before
their
own
Judges
.
11.
That
they
should
carry
away
all
their
papers
whatsoever
.
12.
That
if
they
could
not
sell
their
Goods
in
the
said
Three
Months
time
,
they
should
leave
them
with
whom
they
pleased
under
the
Obedience
of
the
Portugals
,
to
be
disposed
of
according
to
their
own
Order
.
13.
That
they
should
have
all
the
Victuals
in
the
store-houses
of
Recif
,
and
the
other
Forts
for
their
Voyage
.
14.
That
as
to
their
pretensions
against
the
Portugals
,
they
might
sue
them
at
the
King
of
Portugals
Court.
15.
That
all
their
Vessels
should
be
restored
unto
them
,
which
they
might
fit
for
their
Voyage
.
16.
That
they
might
have
liberty
to
advise
all
their
ships
upon
the
Coast
,
to
come
and
lade
their
Goods
at
Recif
:
And
in
the
last
Article
it
was
expressed
,
That
upon
the
demand
of
the
Hollanders
,
that
this
might
not
prejudice
any
former
Treaty
between
the
King
of
Portugal
,
and
the
States
General
,
D.
Francisco
Barreto
would
not
assent
thereunto
.
There
were
other
articles
likewise
granted
to
the
Military
Forces
,
the
sum
of
which
were
,
that
all
offences
and
hostages
might
be
forgotten
,
that
all
souldiers
should
go
out
of
Recif
with
their
Arms
,
Match
lighted
,
Bullet
in
mouth
,
Flying-colours
;
but
coming
near
the
Portugal
Army
,
should
put
out
the
Match
,
and
lay
their
Arms
in
those
Magazines
appointed
by
the
governour
of
Pernambucco
,
to
be
restored
to
them
at
their
departure
,
provided
they
went
to
Nants
,
Rochel
,
or
to
some
place
in
the
United
Provinces
and
not
to
any
belonging
to
the
King
of
Portugal
;
for
security
whereof
they
should
give
three
hostages
,
and
all
Officers
and
Souldiers
should
be
shipt
together
with
General
Sigismond
Schop
,
after
the
delivery
of
the
Forts
of
Riogrando
,
Paraiba
,
and
Tamarica
.
That
the
General
should
have
twenty
pieces
of
brass
ordnance
;
from
four
Pound-Bullet
to
eighteen
,
with
all
their
furnitures
,
besides
all
necessary
Iron-guns
,
for
the
defence
of
the
Ships
that
should
be
afforded
them
for
their
transportation
,
with
convenient
supplies
of
ammunition
and
provision
,
according
to
the
thirteenth
Article
before
recited
:
That
General
Sigismond
,
and
all
his
Officers
of
War
,
should
have
liberty
to
carry
away
or
sell
all
his
or
their
goods
or
slaves
.
That
sick
or
wounded
persons
should
have
liberty
to
stay
till
they
recovered
,
but
the
Governour
would
not
condescend
to
release
those
Hollanders
which
were
prisoners
before
this
surrendry
:
A
general
pardon
was
granted
to
all
rebels
,
chiefly
to
Amboyna
,
Mendaz
,
and
all
other
Indians
and
Negroes
,
but
they
were
not
to
have
the
honor
to
march
out
with
their
Arms.
In
sum
,
the
supream
Council
at
Recif
,
did
oblige
themselves
for
the
surrendring
of
these
places
,
upon
the
signing
of
these
Articles
,
and
for
the
delivering
up
the
Island
of
Farnam
,
Viaca
,
Noroga
,
Riogrand
,
Paraiba
,
and
Tamarica
,
upon
the
same
conditions
for
the
inhabitants
,
as
had
been
granted
to
those
of
Recif
.
These
articles
were
signed
and
delivered
on
both
sides
,
at
the
Camp
at
Taborda
,
on
the
18.
of
January
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifty
three
,
and
Conditions
on
both
sides
punctually
observed
.
Thus
did
the
Hollanders
lose
all
their
Acquists
in
Brazil
,
which
so
exasperated
those
high
and
mighty
States
,
that
at
the
coming
into
Holland
of
myn
Heer
Sigismond
Schop
,
who
had
there
been
General
of
their
Militia
,
they
caused
him
to
be
imprisoned
,
and
tried
for
his
life
by
a
Council
of
War
,
but
notwithstanding
endeavors
of
his
enemies
,
he
was
acquitted
.
Nor
were
the
Portugals
at
home
less
fortunate
against
their
neighbour
enemy
the
Spaniards
,
for
to
omit
many
petty
skirmishes
,
in-roads
made
by
them
with
all
success
desirable
in
the
summer
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
fity
four
,
D.
Antonio
D'Albuquerque
General
of
the
Portuguess
horse
,
taking
an
advantage
upon
a
party
of
Castillians
,
which
lay
upon
the
Borders
neer
Aronches
,
under
the
command
of
Count
D'Amaranthe
,
set
upon
them
,
slew
their
General
Amaranthe
,
and
took
six
hundred
horse
;
and
farther
animated
with
this
success
,
and
the
knowledge
he
had
that
a
vigorous
prosecution
is
the
onely
mother
of
a
true
victory
,
pursued
them
with
an
Army
of
3000
Foot
and
1500
Horse
,
eight
leagues
into
their
own
Country
,
as
far
as
the
old
and
strong
Castle
of
D'Oluce
,
while
encouraging
his
Soldiers
,
(
made
valorous
by
their
former
good
fortune
)
he
resolved
to
attacque
,
and
with
continued
batteries
,
and
storms
so
wearied
out
the
enemy
,
that
after
four
days
siege
they
yielded
upon
composition
,
and
Albuquerque
looking
upon
it
as
a
place
considerable
,
both
for
the
countenancing
of
incursions
into
the
enemies
country
,
and
keeping
in
awe
the
town
of
Xeres
,
which
is
hard
by
,
having
repaired
it
and
placed
in
it
a
strong
Garrison
,
returned
.
About
the
beginning
of
the
year
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifty
five
,
D.
Francisco
De
Ferrara
Rabella
arrived
in
England
,
with
Commission
from
the
King
of
Portugal
as
Agent
,
to
Oliver
Cromwel
,
who
then
swayed
here
under
the
title
of
Protector
,
to
make
a
more
firm
confirmation
of
the
Peace
with
England
,
and
to
advise
,
I
suppose
,
about
carrying
on
the
War
with
Spain
;
which
when
Cromwel
had
given
some
reasons
to
make
the
world
believe
he
would
commence
against
that
Catholick
Monarch
,
and
how
much
such
a
War
was
for
the
Interest
of
Portugal
,
none
will
doubt
who
have
read
the
foregoing
story
,
which
made
King
JOHN
Court
that
English
Usurper
with
more
Submissness
and
Complacency
,
by
both
harbouring
his
Fleets
,
and
sending
Presents
to
his
Generals
,
than
otherwise
his
Genius
would
have
permitted
him
to
have
done
,
any
way
in
prejudice
of
Englands
lawful
KING
.
In
the
mean
time
the
death
of
Pope
Innocentius
the
Tenth
,
made
D.
Francisco
de
Souza
,
Ambassadour
at
Rome
for
the
King
of
Portugal
,
make
new
Addresses
to
Alexander
the
Seventh
his
Successor
,
for
Confirmation
of
the
Church-Officers
in
that
Kingdom
;
for
he
never
had
any
full
Grant
from
Innocent
;
but
now
the
Spanish
Ambassadors
opposed
themselves
more
than
ever
,
and
by
means
of
the
Queen
of
Sweden
,
who
wholly
imployed
her
interest
for
the
benefit
of
that
Nation
,
endeavoured
to
frustrate
even
the
Portuguesses
Hopes
;
nay
,
so
desperate
was
the
Spaniards
Malice
,
That
they
laid
several
Designs
to
murder
the
Portugal
Ambassadour
,
but
all
proved
ineffectual
.
In
sum
,
After
D.
Francisco
de
Souza
,
had
spent
some
years
in
the
Court
of
Rome
to
very
little
purpose
,
he
was
,
upon
the
death
of
King
JOHN
the
Fourth
,
called
home
to
be
Governour
of
the
young
King
Alphonso
.
The
proffered
interchangeable
Match
with
Savoy
,
not
taking
effect
,
father
Du
Rozaire
,
a
Dominican
,
and
Arch-bishop
of
Goa
,
was
sent
Agent
to
France
,
to
treat
about
a
Marriage
between
that
King
,
and
the
Infanta
Donna
Catharina
,
with
Proposals
of
Three
Millions
of
Gold
for
Her
Portion
,
and
that
the
King
of
Portugal
would
for
Seven
Years
maintain
Eighteen
Men
of
War
at
Sea
,
for
the
defence
and
service
of
the
French
Crown
.
Long
was
this
Business
in
Negotiation
,
and
by
many
thought
would
have
taken
effect
,
the
Agent
being
very
highly
carressed
both
by
the
King
and
Queen-mother
of
France
;
but
whether
by
reason
of
Cardinal
Mazarine's
dislike
of
it
,
or
other
Reasons
of
State
,
it
was
prolonged
by
continual
demurs
,
till
after
the
King
of
Portugal's
Death
,
and
then
wholly
broken
off
.
For
King
JOHN
being
now
arrived
to
about
Fifty
years
of
Age
,
in
the
Sixteenth
year
of
his
Reign
,
His
Death
.
1656.
and
in
the
Year
of
our
Lord
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifty
six
,
on
the
Sixth
of
November
,
S.
N.
paid
his
last
debt
to
Nature
,
having
a
long
time
been
troubled
with
an
Obstruction
in
the
Kidneys
,
occasioned
by
the
Stone
and
Gravel
,
which
was
so
sharp
all
the
time
of
his
Sickness
,
that
he
seldom
urined
,
and
when
he
did
it
,
was
in
so
little
quantity
,
that
it
did
scarce
at
all
ease
him
,
this
violent
Pain
put
him
into
a
Burning-feaver
,
which
in
Ten
dayes
overpressed
his
Vitals
.
Before
his
Death
,
he
appointed
Donna
Lucia
his
Queen
,
to
be
Regent
of
the
Kingdom
during
the
minority
of
D.
Alphonso
her
Son
,
recommending
to
her
for
Assistants
in
the
management
of
so
great
burden
as
a
Crown
,
the
Reverend
D.
Emanuel
Arch-bishop
of
Lisbon
,
Don
Runlio
Marquess
of
Nisa
,
the
Earl
of
Canvandake
,
and
some
others
,
whose
abilities
,
love
and
fidelity
,
he
had
experience
of
.
His
Marriage
.
His
Queen
Donna
Lucia
was
eldest
Daughter
of
John-Emanuel-Perez
de
Guzman
Duke
of
Medina
Sidonia
,
and
of
Jane
de
Sandoval
,
Daughter
of
the
Duke
of
Lerme
John-Gomez
de
Sandoval
and
Royas
,
by
Katherine
de
la
Cerda
.
He
was
a
Person
of
a
very
comely
presence
,
his
Countenance
pleasant
,
but
inclining
to
Swarthiness
,
his
Body
about
a
middle
stature
,
yet
comely
and
well
proportioned
,
nor
were
the
lineaments
of
his
mind
less
becoming
,
than
those
of
his
Body
,
though
if
ye
believe
common
fame
,
he
was
none
of
the
wisest
Kings
that
ever
Portugal
could
boast
of
:
the
reason
that
he
left
so
much
of
the
Reins
of
the
Government
to
his
Wife
,
a
Woman
of
a
Masculine
and
Politick
spirit
,
from
whence
perhaps
that
jesting
Spaniard
might
take
occasion
to
say
;
That
it
was
not
the
Portugal
force
,
but
the
Spanish
policy
,
that
kept
that
Kingdom
from
the
Catholique
King
,
alluding
to
the
Queens
being
a
Spaniard
.
He
was
buried
in
the
great
Church
of
St.
Vincenza
del
Foro
,
under
the
High
Altar
,
(
a
Monastery
of
Canons
Regular
of
the
Order
of
St.
Augustine
)
with
all
accustomed
and
becoming
Ceremonies
,
lamented
by
those
Kings
who
had
been
his
Allies
,
especially
by
the
King
of
France
,
who
honored
his
memory
with
a
most
magnificent
Funeral
Solemnity
,
himself
(
attended
by
most
of
the
Nobles
and
Parliament
of
France
,
)
gracing
it
with
his
Presence
at
the
Church
of
Nostre
Dame
,
where
after
the
Singing
of
Mass
,
the
Bishop
of
Vance
pronounced
a
Funeral
Oration
,
suitable
to
so
Royal
a
Subject
and
Occasion
.

and
of

His
Birth

the
Eighth

of

,
One
thousand

four
.
After
the
Duke
his
Father
came
to
the
Crown
,
the
Ceremony
of
his
Installation
was
performed
,
when
the
Nobles
and
Grandees
took
an
Oath
to
receive
him
for
their
Natural
Prince
,
as
Son

JANE
Infanta
OF

,
came
into
this
World
at
Villa-viciosa
the
Eighteenth

of

,
in
the
Year
of
our
Lord
,

KATHERINE
Infanta
OF
PORTUGAL
,
Queen
of
GREAT
BRITAIN
,
FRANCE
and
IRELAND
,
only
Daughter
(
now
living
)
of
King
John
IV.
took
her
first
breath
at
Villa-viciosa
,
upon
the
Five
and
twentieth
day
of
November
,
being
St.
Katharines
day
,
in
the
year
of
our
Redemption
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
thirty
and
eight
.
The
Treaties
and
Articles
of
this
Marriage
were
concluded
in
England
with
the
Count
Don
Francisco
de
Melo
Ambassador
for
the
King
of
Portugal
,
who
departed
hence
with
the
Ratification
of
the
said
Treaty
of
Marriage
:
Upon
his
Arrival
,
I
need
not
acquaint
you
with
what
Joy
this
News
affected
the
King
,
Queen
,
Mother
,
and
the
whole
Court
;
nor
their
most
Solemn
Demonstration
thereof
,
by
discharging
of
their
Cannon
,
making
of
Bonefires
,
and
other
Entertainments
;
yet
were
the
People
unwilling
to
think
of
Parting
with
this
their
Pious
Princess
,
for
whose
sake
(
they
were
wont
to
say
)
God
had
given
them
so
Signal
and
Frequent
Victories
over
their
Enemies
.
Not
long
after
,
by
an
Express
from
England
from
the
King
to
Her
,
the
Infanta
KATHERINE
was
Complemented
with
the
stile
of
Queen
of
GREAT
BRITAIN
;
and
then
,
with
what
possible
Speed
could
be
made
,
was
expected
for
England
,
all
things
being
prepared
in
a
readiness
for
so
great
a
Princess
,
and
so
long
a
Voyage
:
Then
upon
the
Thirteenth
day
of
April
,
this
present
year
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
threescore
and
two
,
She
passed
with
the
King
Her
Brother
,
the
Queen-Mother
,
Don
Pedro
,
and
the
whole
Court
,
unto
the
side
of
the
River
Tagus
,
through
several
Triumphal
Arches
,
and
a
sumptuous
Gallery
built
upon
that
Occasion
,
where
Her
MAJESTY
was
received
by
the
Earle
of
Sandwich
,
who
conducted
Her
on
Board
a
stately
Brigandine
,
whence
amidst
many
Tire
and
Vollies
of
Cannon
,
and
many
more
farewel
Acclamations
in
the
same
Princely
Company
and
Equipage
,
Her
MAJESTY
came
aboard
the
ROYAL
CHARLES
,
and
was
welcomed
with
the
Thunder
of
the
whole
Navy
.
In
the
Evening
,
after
a
Princely
Collation
,
and
many
passionate
parting
Expressions
,
a
Gun
from
the
Admiral
gave
the
Signal
of
Her
MAJESTIES
Resolution
to
depart
,
when
all
hands
were
set
on
work
to
weigh
Anchor
,
and
let
flie
their
Sails
.
The
King
and
Queen-Mother
,
and
their
Train
,
took
their
Farewel
with
hearts
equally
composed
of
Grief
and
Joy
,
and
Re-imbarqued
for
Lisbon
,
returning
with
the
discharge
of
all
the
Ordnance
;
and
so
immediately
with
a
fair
leading
Gale
,
the
whole
Fleet
began
their
Course
,
being
,
as
they
passed
out
of
the
River
,
saluted
by
all
the
Block-houses
,
Forts
and
Castles
.
That
Night
,
and
part
of
the
next
Day
,
the
Wind
stood
very
propitious
;
but
afterwards
proved
averse
and
stormy
,
so
that
they
were
forced
to
labour
to
and
fro
with
contrary
Winds
,
it
being
the
Six
and
twentieth
of
April
when
they
got
into
the
middle
of
the
Bay
of
Biscay
,
Her
MAJESTY
,
by
the
continual
working
and
tossing
of
the
Sea
,
having
been
sick
the
most
part
of
the
Voyage
.
About
the
Fifth
of
May
,
with
unwearied
labour
and
skill
,
the
whole
Fleet
reached
the
Islands
of
Scilly
.
Her
Arrival
had
been
every
day
expected
a
Fortnight
before
,
which
caused
the
King
to
send
down
the
Duke
of
York
,
Lord
High
Admiral
,
to
attend
Her
upon
the
Coast
,
and
to
Complement
Her
MAJESTY
in
His
Name
,
whereupon
His
Highness
hasted
to
Portsmouth
,
and
on
the
Tenth
of
May
,
attended
by
the
Duke
of
Ormond
,
the
Earls
of
Suffolk
and
Chesterfield
,
the
Lord
Berkley
,
and
other
Persons
of
Quality
,
went
aboard
the
stately
YAUGH
,
to
Coast
about
to
meet
Her
MAJESTY
.
On
Sunday
morning
about
Ten
of
the
Clock
,
they
discovered
the
ROYAL
JAMES
;
but
there
was
so
great
a
Calm
,
they
could
not
reach
the
ROYAL
CHARLES
till
Six
at
Evening
.
The
Earl
of
Sandwich
having
discovered
His
Highness
YAUGH
,
went
out
in
his
Barge
to
meet
Him
,
the
Royal
Banner
being
all
the
while
vailed
till
He
was
aboard
,
when
His
Highness
came
into
the
Ship
,
the
Souldiers
gave
Three
several
Shouts
,
and
all
the
Guns
in
the
ROYAL
CHARLES
(
which
from
the
Queens
entrance
till
that
time
had
been
silent
)
proclaimed
His
Welcome
;
after
which
,
the
several
Ships
of
the
Fleet
paid
Him
their
Salutes
.
The
Thirteenth
of
May
at
night
,
the
Royal
Fleet
came
to
St.
Helens
Point
,
the
most
Eastern
Promontory
of
the
Isle
of
Wight
;
and
on
Wednesday
the
Fourteenth
of
May
,
the
Queen
landed
at
Portsmouth
about
Four
of
the
Clock
in
the
Afternoon
,
where
She
was
received
by
the
Nobility
,
Gentry
,
and
multitudes
of
Londoners
;
as
also
by
the
Mayor
and
Aldermen
of
that
Corporation
with
all
the
Expressions
of
Joy
.
His
MAJESTY
having
received
the
Express
of
His
Queens
landing
,
prepared
to
be
gone
forthwith
to
Salute
Her
upon
Her
Arrival
:
But
His
great
Affairs
of
State
,
and
Bills
by
Him
to
be
Ratified
into
Acts
of
Parliament
,
which
were
not
fully
ready
for
His
Royal
Assent
,
delayed
him
till
Monday
the
Nineteenth
of
May
(
having
sent
before
Him
the
Bishop
of
London
,
who
departed
the
Seventeenth
,
in
order
to
the
Solemnizing
of
the
Marriage
)
when
He
took
Coach
from
the
House
of
Lords
at
Nine
of
the
Clock
in
the
Evening
with
His
ordinary
Guards
,
and
lodged
that
night
at
Gilford
;
the
next
day
His
MAJESTY
posted
with
the
same
speed
to
Portsmouth
,
where
He
arrived
about
Noon
.
The
Queens
indisposition
which
yet
held
Her
in
Her
Chamber
,
caused
the
King
to
satisfie
Himself
only
with
a
Visit
in
private
that
day
:
Yet
it
pleased
God
to
restore
Her
Majesty
to
such
a
degree
of
health
,
that
she
was
soon
after
able
to
go
abroad
to
consummate
the
Marriage-Rites
,
which
were
there
performed
upon
Wednesday
the
21.
of
May
,
by
Gilbert
Lord
Bishop
of
London
;
which
being
concluded
,
His
Majesty
Bedded
His
most
Princely
Lady
in
His
Town
of
Portsmouth
.
The
next
Week
their
Majesties
removed
to
Winchester
,
thence
to
Farnham
,
and
then
to
Hampton
Court
,
where
They
spent
most
part
of
this
Summer
;
as
well
for
the
Healthfulness
,
as
Majesty
of
the
Place
.
Then
on
Saturday
the
23.
of
August
,
(
being
the
Eve
of
St.
Bartholomew
,
a
Day
Remarkable
for
its
Beauty
,
being
the
Fairest
of
Ten
that
either
came
before
,
or
followed
it
,
)
after
Dinner
,
the
King
and
Queen
took
Barge
in
order
to
Their
entertainment
by
the
City
of
London
upon
the
River
of
Thames
,
and
came
to
Putney
about
Four
of
the
Clock
in
the
Evening
,
where
They
changed
Their
spare
Barge
,
and
were
by
the
Lord
Chamberlain
conducted
on
Board
that
Barge
which
was
prepared
to
bring
Them
to
Whitehall
,
in
which
They
were
placed
under
a
Canopy
of
Cloth
of
Gold
,
adorned
with
Five
Plumes
of
White
and
Yellow
Ostrich-Feathers
;
the
Barge
lined
also
with
Cloth
of
Gold
,
and
Cussions
of
the
same
,
the
two
Gondeloes
went
on
either
side
,
before
,
in
which
were
His
Majesties
Trumpets
which
sounded
continually
.
At
Chelsey
Their
Majesties
were
met
by
the
Lord
Mayor
and
Aldermen
in
their
Barge
,
afterwards
by
all
the
Companies
in
their
Barges
with
loud
Musick
,
all
adorned
with
their
several
Banners
and
Pennons
of
Arms
:
I
cannot
spend
time
to
particularize
the
several
Pageants
and
Representations
of
the
Mercers
,
Drapers
,
Merchant-Taylors
,
Goldsmiths
,
&c.
being
neither
possible
,
nor
proper
for
this
place
;
therefore
I
shall
only
say
(
which
none
but
the
absent
will
deny
)
That
the
oldest
person
alive
never
saw
the
Thames
more
fully
,
nor
more
Nobly
covered
.
Amid'st
a
Throng
of
a
Thousand
Boats
,
and
more
than
Ten
thousand
joyful
Subjects
,
Their
Majesties
landed
at
Whitehall
about
7.
of
the
Clock
in
the
Evening
,
where
the
most
Excellent
Princess
the
Queen
Mother
,
and
the
Dutchess
of
York
,
gave
Her
Majesty
Her
Welcome
;
which
was
seconded
by
a
Tere
of
Artillary
Planted
at
Stangate-Wharf
over
against
Whitehall
for
that
purpose
;
the
same
Night
,
afterwards
being
made
an
Artificial
Day
,
by
the
Number
of
Bone-fires
and
Fire-works
.
I
omit
to
fix
a
Character
upon
the
Goodness
and
Beauty
of
this
our
Royal
Queen
,
as
deserving
a
larger
Room
,
and
an
abler
Pen
,
or
to
speak
of
that
Portion
,
store
of
Money
and
Jewels
,
as
great
as
ever
any
Princess
brought
a
Husband
,
because
I
will
not
presume
to
meddle
with
those
sublime
particulars
.
As
also
of
those
Advantages
that
the
English
Merchant
receives
by
the
Trade
of
both
the
Indies
where
the
Portuguesses
over-rule
the
Dutch
;
and
by
the
commodious
situation
of
Tangier
for
the
checking
and
curbing
the
Insolencies
of
the
Pirates
of
Algier
,
Tunis
,
and
Tripoli
,
if
at
any
time
they
break
their
League
with
England
,
it
being
a
place
situate
upon
the
mouth
of
the
Streight
of
Gibraltar
;
so
that
no
Ship
can
pass
that
Streight
,
without
Licence
first
had
from
the
King
of
Great
Britain
,
who
upon
this
Account
Commands
the
whole
Trade
of
the
Levant
.
May
we
long
enjoy
Their
Majesties
with
the
Blessings
we
have
received
with
Them
,
and
from
Them
a
continued
Line
of
Great
Britains
Kings
,
that
we
may
not
want
a
Soveraign
to
Reign
over
us
,
who
derives
his
Goodness
,
as
well
as
Greatness
,
from
this
our
Soveraign
Pair
.

The
whole
Kingdom
of
Portugal
was
in
a
kind
of
amaze
at
the
so
sudden
death
of
Kng
John
,
especially
considering
the
youth
of
their
present
King
,
fearing
lest
their
common
Enemies
should
now
take
advantage
of
them
:
but
the
prudent
management
of
the
most
important
business
of
State
by
the
Queen
Regent
,
soon
banished
all
those
fancied
fears
.
The
Queen
being
sensible
,
that
upon
this
occasion
of
the
Kings
death
,
she
should
have
most
occasion
to
use
the
Souldiery
,
by
the
Advice
of
her
Council
,
Ordered
all
the
Infantry
of
the
Kingdom
should
have
Half
a
years
pay
,
the
better
to
encourage
them
,
who
were
of
themselves
ready
enough
to
fight
against
their
common
and
inveterate
Enemy
,
the
Castillians
.
And
because
she
knew
that
the
King
of
Spain
would
lose
no
opportunity
to
oppress
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
,
she
thought
it
imprudence
to
let
any
slip
where
an
advantage
might
be
gained
upon
him
,
and
therefore
all
the
Spanish
Forces
being
drawn
out
of
Andaluzia
to
oppose
the
English
,
in
case
they
should
attempt
to
land
at
Cadiz
;
(
for
they
then
blocked
up
that
Port
with
a
Potent
Fleet
,
)
she
commanded
Four
thousand
Horse
to
make
an
in-road
into
that
Countrey
,
who
plundered
,
and
laid
waste
all
before
them
,
bringing
away
between
Forty
and
fifty
thousand
head
of
Cattel
,
and
leaving
the
whole
Soil
in
a
manner
desolate
.
This
so
exasperated
the
Spaniards
,
That
draining
most
of
the
Garisons
of
his
Kingdom
,
he
raised
a
Potent
Army
,
and
with
Ten
thousand
Foot
,
and
Five
thousand
Horse
entred
Portugal
,
and
laid
Siege
to
the
strong
City
of
Olivenza
,
which
at
length
they
reduced
to
that
necessity
,
that
the
Defendants
were
willing
to
Capitulate
,
and
sounded
a
Parlie
,
but
when
they
came
to
treat
,
the
Spaniards
would
not
admit
the
King
of
Portugal
any
other
Title
,
than
that
of
Duke
of
Braganza
,
which
made
the
Portugals
renounce
any
farther
treating
.
But
at
length
the
Spaniards
condescending
to
treat
,
the
Town
was
delivered
upon
Articles
;
but
so
much
did
the
Queen-Regent
and
Council
of
Portugal
resent
it
,
that
they
immediately
gave
Order
to
Arrest
the
Person
of
Don
Mandiol
de
Saldagna
the
Governour
,
who
(
with
several
of
his
chief
Officers
,
)
was
by
the
Count
de
St.
Lorenze
,
General
of
the
Portuguesse
Forces
in
those
parts
,
sent
Prisoners
to
Lisbon
,
there
to
answer
their
ill-defending
of
that
Town
,
it
appearing
,
That
at
the
surrendring
of
it
,
there
marched
out
Two
thousand
two
hundred
well
Armed
Foot
,
and
One
hundred
Horse
;
nor
were
they
reduced
to
that
necessity
that
was
pretended
,
there
remaining
in
the
Stores
of
Ammunition
and
Provision
,
sufficient
to
have
defended
the
Town
a
great
while
longer
.
The
loss
of
this
Place
was
a
great
blow
to
the
Portuguesses
,
it
being
a
strong
Frontier
Town
,
and
giving
the
Spaniard
absolute
Command
a
great
way
into
the
Countrey
;
but
this
the
King
of
Spain
resolved
should
be
but
a
beginning
of
his
Conquest
(
if
possible
)
of
this
Kingdom
,
for
he
still
made
all
preparations
he
could
to
assault
it
with
a
greater
force
,
and
not
only
endeavoured
this
with
might
and
main
to
oppress
it
himself
,
but
by
his
Ambassadors
solicited
the
States
General
of
the
United
Provinces
to
send
their
Vice-Admiral
Opdam
,
with
the
Fleet
he
then
had
before
Dantzick
,
into
Portugal
,
to
demand
satisfaction
for
the
damage
the
Portugals
had
done
to
their
West-India
Company
in
Brazil
,
and
in
case
the
King
of
Portugal
should
deny
to
comply
with
their
desires
,
to
force
them
to
a
Composition
.
The
High
and
Mighty
States
easily
listned
to
this
counsel
,
and
Vice-Admiral
Opdam
with
a
Potent
Fleet
was
sent
to
Lisbon
,
carrying
with
him
some
Commissioners
from
the
States
to
make
their
demands
,
which
the
Queen
Regent
and
Council
thought
so
unreasonable
,
that
they
could
not
return
any
satisfactory
answer
to
them
,
whereupon
the
Commissioners
departed
:
But
Opdam
still
stayed
with
his
Fleet
to
wait
an
opportunity
of
catching
the
Brazil
Fleet
in
their
return
home
,
many
of
which
notwithstanding
the
care
and
endeavors
of
the
Portuguesses
to
prevent
it
,
he
made
prize
of
,
and
sent
into
Holland
.
By
this
means
was
the
War
,
which
for
many
years
had
been
maintained
between
the
Hollanders
and
Portugals
on
the
other
side
the
Line
,
transferred
to
this
side
,
which
the
King
of
France
endeavoured
by
all
means
possible
,
before
its
eruption
to
prevent
,
and
afterwards
to
compose
by
his
Ambassadours
,
Monsieur
de
Thou
in
Holland
,
and
the
Sieur
de
Comings
in
Portugal
,
but
to
no
Effect
.
Thus
assaulted
by
two
potent
Nations
both
by
Sea
and
by
Land
were
the
Portuguesses
,
which
yet
made
them
not
at
all
falter
in
their
Courage
and
Resolution
;
the
generous
Queen-Regent
causing
all
possible
Levies
to
be
made
to
oppose
the
Castillian
,
sending
into
Barbary
to
buy
Horses
,
and
by
Leagues
abroad
endeavouring
to
strengthen
the
interest
of
the
Kingdom
,
an
Ambassadour
was
sent
to
that
purpose
into
England
,
to
renew
and
confirm
the
Amity
before
concluded
on
,
and
many
Conferences
there
were
between
the
Archbishop
of
Goa
,
who
had
before
been
Ambassadour
in
France
,
and
the
Sieur
de
Comings
;
so
that
many
were
in
hopes
that
the
Match
between
the
King
of
France
,
and
the
Infanta
,
would
have
gone
forward
,
and
an
indissoluble
League
both
defensive
and
offensive
,
been
concluded
between
the
two
Nations
.
And
to
join
Force
to
Policy
,
a
gallant
Army
of
about
Sixteen
thousand
Foot
,
and
Three
thousand
Horse
,
all
Portuguesses
,
took
the
Field
,
and
in
Revenge
for
the
loss
of
Olivenza
,
laid
siege
to
Mouron
,
which
in
Three
or
four
dayes
they
took
by
storm
,
putting
Fifteen
hundred
Spaniards
to
the
Sword
,
and
resolved
to
proceed
to
the
regaining
of
Badayox
and
Olivenza
;
and
to
that
purpose
marching
without
opposition
by
Caya
(
which
they
left
fortified
)
they
came
to
the
Fort
of
St.
Christopher
,
the
strongest
hold
of
the
City
of
Badayox
,
which
they
several
dayes
battered
,
and
thrice
stormed
,
but
were
beaten
off
;
yet
at
the
length
they
took
it
,
and
so
securely
entrenched
themselves
about
the
whole
City
.
The
Duke
of
Ossima
,
General
of
the
Castillian
Horse
,
having
notice
of
this
strait
siege
of
the
City
,
endeavoured
with
Sixteen
hundred
Horse
to
cut
off
their
Convoyes
and
Provisions
;
but
the
Count
del
Prado
,
Governour
of
Elvas
,
receiving
Advice
of
his
Design
,
sallied
out
of
the
City
with
Three
Companies
of
Horse
,
and
all
the
Foot
he
had
to
prevent
him
,
by
which
means
Ossima
was
encompassed
on
both
sides
;
for
at
the
same
time
that
he
was
on
the
other
part
charged
by
Don
Andrea
D'Albuquerque
,
General
of
the
Portuguesse
Horse
,
and
that
with
so
much
Gallantry
,
that
they
presently
discomfited
their
Enemies
,
slew
Four
hundred
upon
the
place
,
took
Three
hundred
Prisoners
,
and
forced
the
Duke
of
Ossima
to
save
himself
by
swimming
.
This
happy
Success
encouraged
them
to
return
with
more
Alacrity
to
the
siege
,
which
they
prosecuted
with
all
vigour
possible
,
and
on
the
Three
and
twentieth
of
June
stormed
,
and
took
a
Redoubt
which
was
palisadosed
;
but
at
length
when
they
had
spent
much
time
,
blood
,
and
treasure
,
they
were
enforced
by
the
powerful
Army
of
Don
Lewis
de
Haro
to
raise
their
siege
.
For
the
King
of
Spain
exasperated
with
the
loss
of
Mouron
,
and
fearing
likewise
to
lose
Badayox
,
had
Rallied
a
great
Army
,
which
he
committed
to
the
Care
of
his
Favourite
Don
Lewis
de
Haro
,
who
not
only
with
it
raised
the
siege
from
before
Badayox
,
but
likewise
so
straitly
besieged
Elvas
,
one
of
the
Portuguesses
strongest
Frontier-towns
,
the
taking
of
which
,
might
have
endangered
the
whole
Kingdom
,
and
reduced
it
to
such
Necessity
,
that
it
was
even
upon
the
point
of
yielding
.
But
the
Portugals
,
who
knew
of
how
much
importance
it
was
to
them
,
had
ever
been
anxious
for
its
Relief
,
and
therefore
having
at
length
bravely
recruited
their
Army
,
they
advanced
with
full
Resolution
to
drive
the
Spaniards
out
of
their
Trenches
,
nor
did
they
effect
it
less
bravely
than
they
had
resolved
it
;
for
they
totally
Routed
their
General
,
Don
Lewis
de
Haro
very
hardly
escaping
;
but
in
this
Battel
the
Portuguez
lost
the
worthy
Albuquerque
General
of
the
Horse
.
And
to
Counterpoise
this
Victory
,
the
strong
Fortress
of
Mounson
upon
the
Borders
of
Gallicia
,
was
surrendred
to
the
Spaniards
,
and
a
Party
of
the
Portugals
not
having
Advice
that
it
was
already
possessed
by
the
Castillians
,
going
to
relieve
it
,
were
surprized
,
and
forced
shamefully
to
retreat
with
the
loss
of
some
hundreds
,
and
this
Success
encouraged
the
Spaniards
under
the
Command
of
the
Marquess
of
Viana
,
to
besiege
the
only
City
the
Portugals
were
possest
of
on
the
River
Minho
,
but
it
was
relieved
by
the
Portugals
.
The
Spaniards
likewise
gained
a
signal
Victory
over
a
Party
of
Portugal
Horse
nigh
Alcantara
;
for
Advice
being
brought
to
the
Governour
of
that
Town
,
That
the
Portuguez
with
a
Party
of
Four
hundred
Horse
were
entring
upon
the
Frontiers
in
two
Bodies
;
he
taking
Five
hundred
Horse
,
and
a
select
Party
of
Foot
,
went
to
meet
them
,
and
so
handsomly
managed
his
Business
,
that
he
surprized
one
whole
Body
,
scarce
a
man
escaping
a
Commissary
General
,
five
Captains
,
and
several
other
Officers
being
taken
Prisoners
.
But
these
things
were
inconsiderable
Disadvantages
to
the
interest
of
Portugal
,
in
respect
of
what
it
was
like
to
feel
by
the
Peace
which
was
treating
of
between
those
two
mighty
Monarchs
of
France
and
Spain
,
which
the
Queen-Regent
and
Council
were
sensible
of
and
therefore
dispatch
Don
John
D'Acosta
Ambassadour
Extraordinary
to
the
French
Court
,
to
represent
unto
his
most
Christian
Majesty
the
state
of
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
,
and
to
insist
that
there
might
be
a
due
Consideration
had
of
the
Interest
of
his
Master
in
the
concluding
of
the
Peace
with
Spain
,
seeing
he
had
formerly
approved
himself
so
good
an
Ally
to
the
Crown
of
France
.
But
this
Embassie
could
produce
no
other
Effect
,
than
a
promise
to
endeavour
a
Mediation
for
them
with
the
King
of
Spain
and
procure
them
good
terms
upon
Submission
,
which
by
the
Magnanimous
Portuguesses
was
rejected
with
Indignation
.
Nor
were
they
at
all
Daunted
with
the
great
Power
of
the
Spaniard
,
which
he
intended
to
employ
against
them
,
but
Manfully
resolved
to
endure
all
Hazards
;
yet
would
they
willingly
have
concluded
a
Peace
with
the
Hollanders
;
and
to
that
purpose
,
Don
Fernando
Tellez
de
Faro
,
Duke
of
Aveiro
,
was
sent
Ambassadour
to
the
States-General
;
but
he
like
a
treacherous
Villain
,
revolted
from
them
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
carrying
along
with
him
the
papers
of
his
Ambassie
;
for
which
,
according
to
his
Desert
,
his
Effigies
was
executed
at
Lisbon
as
a
Traytors
,
his
Goods
confiscated
,
his
House
razed
to
the
ground
,
and
his
Children
banished
,
and
degraded
of
Nobility
,
his
Brother
,
Don
Deigo
De
Sylva
,
who
had
served
the
King
of
Portugal
in
the
quality
of
General
at
Sea
,
was
likewise
upon
this
Occasion
commanded
to
retire
to
one
of
his
Houses
,
and
deprived
of
all
publick
Employment
.
After
him
was
sent
Don
Henry
de
Sousa
Count
of
Miranda
,
to
negotiate
an
Accomodation
with
the
Netherland
States
,
yet
he
prevailed
little
;
for
the
pertinacious
Hollanders
were
still
resolute
in
their
unreasonable
demands
,
computing
their
losses
in
Brazil
(
where
they
had
no
right
to
be
)
to
amount
to
no
less
than
thirty
millions
.
The
Spaniards
in
the
mean
time
were
forced
to
give
the
Portugals
some
respite
in
the
summer
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifty
nine
,
but
preparations
were
made
to
assault
them
;
with
the
whole
power
of
that
Monarchy
in
the
Spring
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
sixty
,
Don
John
D'Austria
being
called
out
of
Flanders
to
be
Generalissimo
of
the
Spanish
Forces
,
and
having
Orders
given
him
in
April
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
and
sixty
,
to
march
directly
to
Merida
,
on
the
Frontiers
of
Portugal
,
though
he
went
not
that
Summer
.
But
the
Portuguesses
resolved
not
to
be
behind-hand
with
their
Enemies
,
and
therefore
made
several
in-roads
into
the
Spanish
Territories
,
depopulating
all
before
them
,
which
made
the
Spaniards
to
be
revenged
,
resolve
to
do
the
like
to
them
;
Order
was
therefore
given
to
fall
into
the
Kingdom
on
all
sides
,
the
Marquess
of
Viana
Governor
of
Gallicia
,
marching
in
that
way
with
Eight
thousand
Foot
,
and
eight
hundred
Horse
,
and
the
Governor
of
Camara
invading
that
part
which
was
adjacent
to
his
government
.
In
this
condition
was
the
Kingdom
of
Portugal
,
when
His
Majesty
Charles
the
Second
,
King
of
England
,
was
restored
to
his
Crowns
and
Kingdoms
,
welcomed
by
his
Subjects
with
all
gratulatory
and
submissive
Obedience
;
the
News
of
which
was
no
sooner
by
advice
from
D.
Francisco
de
Melo
,
Ambassador
for
the
King
of
Portugal
in
England
,
conveyed
to
the
ears
of
his
Master
,
but
he
caused
all
the
Guns
of
the
Town
,
Castle
,
and
Ships
in
the
Road
,
to
be
fired
,
and
for
three
days
and
nights
kept
solemn
and
magnificent
Rejoycings
;
the
Portuguess
Nation
as
well
as
by
this
their
joy
at
the
Restoration
of
King
Charles
the
Second
,
as
by
their
sorrow
and
general
mourning
at
the
Death
of
King
Charles
the
First
,
expressing
their
great
affection
for
the
English
Nation
.
But
because
their
joy
should
be
somewhat
for
their
own
,
as
well
as
our
sakes
,
there
at
the
same
time
arrived
News
at
Lisbon
,
that
Don
Alphonso
Turtudo
General
of
the
Horse
,
on
the
frontiers
of
Alentejo
,
meeting
with
a
Brigade
of
the
Enemies
Horse
nigh
to
Bajadox
,
had
fought
and
defeated
them
,
killed
and
took
four
hundred
of
them
,
amongst
whom
were
four
Captains
of
Horse
prisoners
.
The
Spaniards
still
continued
their
Leavies
against
Portugal
,
being
resolved
to
employ
an
Army
of
four
thousand
Horse
and
twelve
thousand
Foot
constantly
recruited
,
about
the
Frontiers
of
Estramadura
,
and
another
of
three
thousand
Horse
,
and
ten
thousand
Foot
about
Gallicia
,
and
a
third
of
twelve
thousand
men
,
to
serve
as
a
Reserve
to
the
two
former
.
In
this
manner
were
they
resolved
to
assault
them
by
Land
,
while
the
Prince
of
Montesarchio
with
ten
men
of
War
,
was
appointed
to
coast
up
and
down
before
their
Ports
,
and
do
them
what
mischief
he
could
by
Sea
.
Thus
did
this
Kingdom
struggle
with
Spain
for
her
Liberty
,
by
the
prudent
management
of
Affairs
,
by
that
sage
and
industrious
Queen-Regent
,
until
this
present
year
,
One
thousand
six
hundred
threescore
and
two
;
when
upon
the
Ninteenth
of
August
the
Castillian
Army
marched
towards
the
Towns
of
Barbeisus
and
Chosaes
;
whereupon
the
General
of
the
said
Province
the
Earle
of
Prado
,
and
the
Earle
of
St.
John
General
of
the
Horse
,
with
all
the
Force
they
could
make
,
did
set
forth
to
oppose
the
Enemy
,
who
being
surprized
by
the
Care
of
the
said
General
,
did
engage
,
with
the
Approbation
of
the
chief
Commander
Don
Balthasar
Pontaju
,
who
immediately
commanded
them
to
fall
on
;
but
the
Earle
of
Prado
did
as
well
receive
them
,
he
desiring
nothing
else
but
to
shew
the
Castillians
how
little
they
did
value
them
.
The
Fight
began
with
a
great
deal
of
Resolution
on
the
Enemies
side
,
who
for
many
houres
hotly
disputed
the
Quarrel
,
till
wearied
by
the
unwearied
Courage
of
the
Portuguesses
,
their
whole
Army
was
forced
to
flie
in
great
Disorder
.
A
considerable
number
of
the
Enemies
were
slain
,
and
many
taken
Prisoners
,
by
which
the
said
Province
was
freed
from
the
Enemy
with
great
Satisfaction
to
the
Crown
,
and
great
Honour
to
the
Count
of
Prado
,
whose
Prudence
and
Valour
in
the
management
of
this
Business
was
much
commended
.
In
the
Province
of
Beira
no
less
Success
smiled
upon
the
Portuguesses
,
by
the
Count
of
Villaflor
Governour
thereof
,
and
the
General
of
the
Horse
Manuel
Treire
D'Andrada
,
who
having
intelligence
that
the
Duke
of
Ossana
had
made
himself
Master
of
Escalas
,
and
raised
a
considerable
Fort
upon
it
with
several
Guns
,
and
placed
Four
hundred
men
to
defend
it
,
went
out
,
and
giving
Battel
to
the
Duke
,
put
him
to
Flight
,
killing
about
Six
hundred
men
,
and
taking
the
greatest
part
of
his
Baggage
,
with
all
his
Ordnance
;
and
then
falling
upon
the
said
Fort
,
in
few
houres
took
it
(
at
mercy
)
to
the
astonishment
of
the
Castillians
,
who
fully
perceived
that
they
were
not
able
to
Act
any
thing
against
the
same
Provinces
,
being
so
nobly
defended
by
the
same
Governour
,
and
the
People
so
unanimous
to
oppose
them
.
Nor
had
the
Castillians
gained
those
Advantages
in
Alentejo
,
had
it
not
been
for
the
Civil
Dissentions
and
Animosities
among
the
Portugal
Colonels
,
which
since
have
been
sufficiently
provided
against
by
the
Care
of
the
Ministers
of
State
,
and
especially
by
the
Prudence
of
Don
Antonio
De
Sousa
of
Macedo
,
now
principal
Secretary
of
State
,
heretofore
Resident
from
the
King
of
Portugal
in
England
.
If
that
the
Portuguesses
have
thus
long
,
and
so
valiantly
defended
themselves
by
their
own
proper
Valour
,
without
a
Forreign
Assistance
,
against
so
potent
a
Monarch
as
the
King
of
Spain
,
then
how
much
more
now
will
they
be
able
,
since
they
have
renewed
the
old
League
with
England
,
whose
Forces
being
united
,
may
defie
all
those
that
shall
oppose
them
,
both
Kingdoms
being
most
formidable
at
Sea
,
and
Masters
of
a
potent
Army
.
Nor
was
the
King
of
Great
Britain
unmindful
of
returning
the
King
of
Portugal
an
Acknowledgment
for
the
Happiness
His
Majesty
received
from
Him
,
in
the
Person
of
His
Sister
,
that
Royal
Lady
the
Princess
KATHERINE
,
when
He
sent
Supplies
into
that
Kingdom
under
the
Command
of
that
Valiant
Lord
the
Earle
of
Inchequeen
,
almost
as
soon
as
His
Majesty
had
the
Assurance
of
receiving
His
Beautiful
Queen
into
His
own
Arms
,
such
was
His
MAJESTIES
Care
of
the
Welfare
of
that
Monarchy
,
the
Knot
of
a
perpetual
Alliance
being
now
so
firmly
tied
,
That
maugre
all
the
Opposition
of
the
most
malignant
Opposers
,
They
are
resolved
to
link
their
Concerns
together
ever
hereafter
.
Since
the
Arrival
of
the
English
Forces
in
Portugal
,
there
hath
been
little
Action
,
they
having
been
disposed
of
into
Three
several
Squadrons
;
so
that
now
in
September
last
,
the
Generals
all
returned
to
Lisbon
to
refresh
themselves
,
there
being
no
further
Occasion
for
the
Field
.
Don
John's
Army
had
Orders
sent
them
not
to
march
,
and
the
other
Two
,
since
the
late
Defeats
given
them
,
have
been
in
no
Capacity
of
doing
the
least
Injury
,
Portugal
being
now
free
from
the
Noise
of
the
Castillians
both
by
Sea
and
Land
.
Don
John
was
lately
at
Badayos
,
(
having
for
a
while
laid
all
thoughts
of
farther
Action
aside
)
where
he
mustered
all
the
Forces
,
and
drew
them
into
their
Winter-quarters
.
In
the
mean
time
,
the
King
of
Spain
sent
Orders
to
several
Places
to
make
great
preparation
against
the
next
Spring
;
so
that
marching
in
with
more
Force
,
they
may
give
a
better
Account
than
they
have
of
this
years
Expedition
.
King
ALPHONSO
VI.
entring
now
upon
the
Twentieth
year
of
His
Age
,
lately
took
the
Reins
of
the
Government
into
His
own
Hand
,
and
hath
sate
for
the
Administration
of
Justice
in
Criminal
Causes
,
where
a
Judge
,
and
Secretary
of
the
Court
of
Orphans
,
were
brought
before
Him
,
and
Accused
for
having
dealt
unjustly
in
the
managery
of
their
Trust
.
His
MAJESTY
was
pleased
with
much
Patience
to
attend
the
whole
Tryal
,
where
it
being
fully
proved
,
That
according
to
the
Charge
exhibited
against
them
,
they
had
wronged
several
Orphans
,
and
dealt
unjustly
in
the
Disposal
of
their
Goods
;
Sentence
was
pronounced
upon
them
both
,
the
Judge
to
be
beheaded
,
and
the
Secretary
to
be
hanged
.
I
mention
this
,
only
to
let
the
Reader
know
how
much
this
Action
of
the
Kings
hath
encreased
the
Esteem
and
Affection
which
His
MAJESTIES
Subjects
had
for
Him
;
That
at
His
first
sitting
in
the
Administration
of
Justice
,
He
should
so
far
encourage
the
Causes
of
His
weaker
People
,
as
not
to
spare
Offenders
,
though
of
the
greatest
Quality
;
but
to
see
Sentence
of
Condemnation
passed
against
those
that
injure
them
.
Thus
have
you
an
Account
of
the
Lives
and
Issues
of
the
KINGS
of
PORTUGAL
,
from
the
Foundation
of
that
Monarchy
,
to
the
Sixth
year
of
the
Reign
of
KING
ALPHONSO
VI.
being
this
present
year
,
1662.
leaving
that
KINGDOM
in
an
assured
Confidence
,
That
ENGLAND
will
prove
(
as
it
hath
ever
been
)
a
better
Bulwark
to
them
,
than
any
other
their
Confederates
.
