Anna
and
Aemilia
,
who
died

.
Now
Hans
Willem
succeeding
,
Anno
1546.
maried
Marie
of
Austria
,
the
daughter
of
King
Ferdinand
,
after
Emperour
,
and
obtained
from
Charles
the
Fifth
,
that
if
hee
should
decease
without

males
by
this
Marie
his

,
that
the
lands

begotten
by
him
of
the
said
Marie
;
which
decree
was
also
confirmed
by
the
ensuing
Emperours
,
Ferdinand
,
Maximilian
,
and
the
late
Rodulph
.
He
had
issue
by
Marie
;
First
,
Charles
Frederick
,
who
died
in
Italie
vnmaried
:
Secondly
,
Hans
Willem
,
Bishop

who

,
Marie

:
Fourthly
,
Anna
M
gdalena
:
Fifthly
,
Magdalena
:
Sixthly
,
Sybilla
.
Marie
Helionora
,
(
the
third
childe
)
who
maried
Albert
Frederick
Duke
of
Prussia
,
with
assurance
also
vpon
the
mariage
,
that
if
Hans
Willem
and
his
wife
died
without
issue
male
,
that
then
these
lands
should
descend
vpon
this
his
eldest
daughter
,
maried
to
the
Duke
of
Prussia
,
and
her
heires
,
he
giuing
to
the
other
sisters
a
peece
of
mone●
,
but
that
to
bee
leuied
of
his
owne
goods
,
and
not
of
the
lands
of
Gulick
or
Cleue
.
And
all
this
was
onely
to
vnite
these
lands
more
strongly
together
.
This
Marie
died
a
yeare
before
her
brother
,
leauing
issue
by
the
Duke
her
husband
foure
children
:
viz.
Anna
,
maried
to
Iohn
Sigismond
,
Duke
of
Brandenburge
,
the
chiefe
Competitor
,
one
other
daughter
maried
to
the
olde
That
is
,
Elector
.
Cueruorst
,
a
third
to
the
Duke
of
Curland
,
a
fourth
to
the
Lord
Hans
Zorgien
,
Duke
of
Saxonie
,
brother
to
the
Cuervorst
,
(
or
Elector
.
)
The
4.
and
second
daughter
,
Anna
Magdalena
,
Anno
1574.
maried
to
Philip
Lodouick
Duke
of
Newburgh
,
by
whom
shee
had
issue
foure
sons
,
besides
daughters
:
viz.
Wolfgang
Willem
,
eldest
,
and
one
of
the
Competitors
,
Otho
Henrick
,
Iohn
Frederick
,
and
Augustus
.
Magdalena
,
the
5.
and
third
daughter
,
Anno
1579.
maried
with
the
Palsgraue
,
Iohn
Duke
of
Zuyburge
,
the
Duke
of
Newburghs
brother
,
by
whom
shee
had
issue
,
three
sonnes
,
and
some
daughters
.
Sybilla
of
Cleue
,
the
6.
and
fourth
daughter
,
Anno
1610
maried
Charles
of
Austria
,
Marckgraue
of
Burgou
,
the
sonne
of
Ferdinand
of
Austria
,
and
is
yet
without
issue
.
Of
these
two
youngest
there
is
not
any
question
.
Now
it
may
be
coniectured
,
since
Marie
Helionora
died
a
yeare
before
her
brother
Hans
Willem
the
late
Duke
,
Wolfgang
Willem
(
that
is
the
Duke
of
Newburge
)
sonne
to
the
second
sister
Anna
Magdalena
,
claimes
these
lands
in
his
mothers
right
,
as
next
of
bloud
to
the
late
Duke
at
his
death
,
and
his
sister
;
whereas
Anna
wife
to
the
Duke
of
Brandenburge
was
but
his
Neece
.
And
the
said
Anna
claimes
them
as
more
vpon
her
by
descent
,
as
also
by
what
particular
interest
was
estated
vpon
her
by
her
Grandfather
Hans
Willem
in
his
life
time
.
And
me
thinks
Anna
should
succeed
:
for
so
did
our
Richard
the
second
before
his
vncles
,
notwithstanding
his
father
,
the
blacke
Prince
,
died
before
his
grandfather
.
But
this
succession
per
Saltum
,
hath
sometimes
weightie
reasons
in
some
Countries
,
where
remaineth
any
freedome
of
the
Subiects
election
(
beside
the
right
of
descent
)
where
they
finde
it
may
profit
or
preiudice
the
common
good
.
Now
the
Duke
of
Cleue
being
dead
,
and
Leopoldus
in
possession
of
the
Towne
and
Castle
of
Gulick
,
or
Iuliers
,
for
his
Master
the
Emperour
;
the
Kings
of
Great
Britaine
,
France
,
and
the
Estates
of
these
vnited
Prouinces
,
thought
it
not
fitting
that
hee
should
nest
himselfe
there
,
to
the
preiudice
of
the
lawfull
heires
or
competitors
.
Wherefore
his
Maiestie
of
Great
Britaine
,
with
the
Estates
,
sent
a
puissant
Armie
vnder
the
conduct
of
that
braue
Scipio
of
our
age
,
the
victorious
Prince
Maurice
of
Nassau
,
who
after
no
long
,
but
a
forcible
siege
,
tooke
both
the
Towne
and
Castle
,
in
the
yeare
1610.
Which
done
,
it
was
consented
vnto
and
agreed
,
that
a
companie
of
either
Competitor
Prince
should
remaine
in
the
Towne
,
now
become
neutrall
,
till
the
right
were
adiudged
,
vnder
the
command
of
Pithan
,
a
Germaine
,
as
Captaine
of
both
,
hauing
command
of
the
Castle
.
But
Neuburg
,
whether
hauing
the
States
in
iealousie
,
or
relying
vpon
the
strength
of
his
owne
Title
,
or
through
a
vindictiue
resolution
,
(
which
seemeth
to
be
the
truth
indeed
)
after
Pithan
had
complained
of
some
secret
practise
of
his
,
contrary
to
the
former
agreement
,
(
as
it
is
reported
)
began
new
plots
,
and
by
many
secret
meanes
endeuoured
to
be
himselfe
wholly
possessed
of
the
Castle
.
The
States
vnderstanding
of
his
designes
,
strengthned
it
againe
with
new
troopes
.
Neuburg
seeing
his
hopes
now
frustrate
,
and
no
likelihood
of
gaining
an
absolute
possession
of
the
same
,
growes
discontented
,
changeth
his
Religion
,
marieth
the
Bishop
of
Collens
sister
,
daughter
to
the
Duke
of
Baueir
,
whose
banner
hee
borroweth
,
and
with
whose
purse
hee
leuies
great
troopes
,
beginnes
to
take
the
field
,
and
in
this
discontent
fortifies
Duisseldorpe
,
but
yet
vnder
a
colour
of
prouiding
for
his
owne
person
.
The
States
not
sleeping
,
sent
out
Prince
Henry
with
a
strong
conuoy
of
horse
,
to
bring
moe
companies
into
Gulick
,
which
with
those
that
were
in
before
,
amounted
to
about
2500.
men
.
Neuburg
seeing
this
,
adheres
to
the
Spaniard
,
who
vndertakes
the
cause
,
makes
Spinola
his
Generall
,
who
hauing
gathered
a
mightie
Armie
together
,
the
best
of
his
old
souldiers
from
all
his
Garrisons
in
those
parts
,
besides
many
companies
newly
taken
in
,
makes
his
rendez-vous
at
Maestricht
,
vnder
a
colour
of
executing
the
Emperors
Banne
against
Acon
and
Mullem
:
whereupon
he
makes
a
great
Bridge
at
Maestricht
,
and
another
at
Rhine-berck
;
but
these
were
as
well
to
amuse
the
world
,
and
to
giue
an
occasion
of
distraction
in
opinion
which
way
hee
would
turne
head
,
as
for
necessarie
vse
.
Yet
by
meanes
of
that
at
Rhineberck
he
had
the
Riuer
at
command
.
After
hee
had
taken
in
Acon
,
hee
came
within
Cannon
shot
,
or
not
much
further
,
before
Gulick
,
where
hee
lay
two
or
three
daies
,
onely
for
a
colour
,
and
to
giue
no
mistrust
to
those
,
whom
hee
intended
to
visit
ere
they
expected
him
.
In
the
meane
time
hauing
secured
the
Rhine
aboue
,
for
his
designes
,
hee
sends
his
prouision
and
baggage
downe
the
same
,
which
,
then
leauing
Gulick
with
all
speede
possible
he
meets
at
Wesel
.
The
States
all
this
while
tooke
no
hot
Alarme
,
but
only
made
provision
for
the
Armie
,
and
al
things
necessarie
thereto
belonging
,
to
be
in
a
readinesse
at
an
hours
warning
.
Yet
hereupon
arose
sundrie
opinions
and
doubts
,
of
most
places
of
the
Netherlands
:
those
of
the
frontiers
of
Gelderland
,
the
Betow
,
and
other
places
,
desired
the
Armie
with
all
speede
:
others
were
of
opinion
they
were
in
no
danger
at
all
;
and
the
most
were
indifferent
.
But
the
wisedome
of
his
Excellencie
(
who
best
could
finde
the
old
Foxe
by
his
track
,
and
better
discerne
this
clowd
then
any
other
)
knew
a
storme
would
light
ere
long
somewhere
;
wherefore
,
not
attending
the
resolutions
of
all
,
and
opposing
himselfe
strongly
against
the
perswasions
of
some
;
hee
marched
presently
forward
,
neither
could
any
certainty
be
agreed
of
,
vntil
hee
was
come
as
farre
as
Arnhem
in
Gelderland
,
where
was
brought
the
first
newes
vnto
him
that
Wesel
was
taken
,
not
without
suspition
of
treacherie
within
:
for
they
might
very
well
haue
held
out
,
till
his
Excellence
had
relieued
them
,
which
would
haue
beene
within
two
dayes
,
or
three
at
the
most
.
From
Arnhem
,
his
Excellence
marched
toward
Schenck
Sconce
,
a
Fort
of
great
strength
and
import
,
lying
at
the
mouth
of
the
Rhine
,
as
it
diuides
it selfe
,
one
part
towards
Arnhem
,
retayning
his
name
;
the
other
towards
Nieumegen
and
Bommel
,
losing
it
,
being
called
Vahalis
,
or
the
Wael
,
where
the
whole
Armie
vnited
it selfe
into
one
body
,
to
the
number
of
betwixt
eleuen
and
twelue
thousand
foote
,
which
made
one
hundred
and
foure
and
thirtie
Companies
,
and
three
thousand
horse
,
two
thousand
and
fiue
hundred
whole
armed
,
fiue
hundred
Bedets
,
fit
and
readie
for
seruice
,
if
neede
required
,
but
not
whole
armed
.
So
exquisite
and
braue
an
Armie
,
for
the
choice
of
able
bodied
men
,
and
resolute
spirits
,
so
well
clothed
and
armed
,
and
generally
so
well
exercised
in
the
vse
of
their
Armes
,
to
the
great
commendation
and
honour
of
their
Chiefes
and
Commanders
,
that
these
many
yeares
the
like
hath
not
been
shene
in
these
Countries
,
wanting
nothing
but
an
Enemie
,
to
giue
testimonie
of
their
valour
,
yea
though
hee
were
double
their
number
.
The
Rendez

standing
vpon
a

about
two
Duch

from
Schenke
Sconce
(
where

bee
seene
the
goodliest

,
I

World
,
for

of

whom
wee
vnderstood

his

consideration
,
sent
for

Companies
,
and
continued
the
treatie
.
Whereas
Spinola
had
made
fortifications
at
both
ends
of
his
bridge
,
&
was
in

with
a
skonce
without
the
Towne

was
laid

to

at
the
end
of
our

,
on

of
the

,
but
not

.
The
eighteenth
and

of

,
his
Excellence
with
all
the
quarter
Masters
,
went
vp
the
Riuer
of
Rhine
,
on
the
farther
side
,
to
view
ground
for
new
quarters
,
which
was
appointed
,
but
after
neglected
,
by
reason
it
was
said
Spinola
purposed
to
march
and
winter
his

in
Mark-land
,
whom
,
if

,
his

purposed

On

:
All
lay
still
,
and
nothing
attempted
.
Vpon
the

and

day
,
his
Excellence
drew
forth
his
whole
Armie
of
foot
,
and
put
them
into
Battaglia
,
which
was
a
goodly
sight
,
to
see
a
large
and
spacious
field
,
late
laden
with
Eares
,
now
with
Armes
,
the
aire
depainted
with
so
many
sundry
colours
,
so
many
Pikes
advanced
,
that
they
seemed
a
mightie
and
mouing
wood
,
the
order
and
resolution
of
so
many
gallant
Souldiers
,
that
now
I
beleeued
that
saying
,
and
found
it
true
,
That
a
braue
Armie
is
the
best
of
the
three
fairest
sights
in
the
World
.
It
was
ordered
and
disposed
in

.
The

order
was
giuen
that
no
Souldier
or
Officer
should
depart
the
Armie
without
his
Excellences
passe
,
and
that
no
souldier
or
waggon
should
goe
out
for
forrage
without
conuoy
.
Vpon
the
first
of
October
,
about
seuen
a
clocke
in
the
euening
,
ten
Companies
of
Colonell
Broges
Regiment
,
and
three
of
the
Suisses
or
Amaines
,
had
their
quarters
burned
by
mischance
.
How
or
where
the
fire
began
,
it
is
vncertaine
.
They
say
,
by
the
carelesnesse
of
a
Suisses
wife
,
who
throwing
a
candle
and
candlesticke
at
her
husbands
head
,
being
both
drunke
,
let
it
alone
in
the
straw
till
it
had
fired
the
quarter
,
which
we
beheld
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
,
being
at
supper
neere
the
place
.
About
this
time
,
or
shortly
after
,
the
Boores
of
the
Countrey
acquainted
his
Excellencie
with
the
danger
the
whole
Armie
was
in
of
drowning
,
if
the
enemie
should
cut
the
banke
of
the
Riuer
by
Bislick
,
which
three
or
foure
might
easily
haue
done
in
two
houres
:
wherefore
he
appointed
certaine
troopes
to
watch
thereabouts
euery
night
.
The
water
so
much
now
began
to
increase
,
that
Sir
Horace
Veres
quarter
remoued
to
the
other
side
of
the
Rhine
,
by
the
bridge
of
boats
laid
ouer
against
Rais
,
by
which
I
tooke
the
breadth
of
the
Rhine
there
,
which
was
six
hundred
of
my
paces
.
On
the
second
day
of
October
,
at
the
instance
of
Neuburgs
Ambassador
,
who
was
come
to
his
Excellence
before
to
accept
the
conditions
first
offered
,
it
was
on
both
sides
agreed
,
that
after
twelue
a
clocke
the
same
day
,
there
should
be
no
more
taking
in
of
Townes
on
neither
side
,
till
the
intercedent
Princes
had
compounded
their
differences
;
and
lay
still
.
On
the
third
and
fourth
daies
of
October
,
the
Ambassador
of
England
,
Sir
Henry
Wooton
,
and
the
French
Ambassador
,
La
Refuge
,
came
to
the
Armie
,
whom
Prince
Maurice
met
with
foure
troopes
of
horse
,
as
I
take
it
,
(
for
they
went
so
close
,
I
could
not
well
discerne
them
)
some
three
quarters
of
a
mile
from
the
Armie
,
conducting
them
into
Rais
,
where
they
remained
.
Vpon
the
ninth
day
they
were
inuited
to
Spinola's
Leaguer
,
and
that
night
went
to
Wesel
.
The
English
Ambassador
was
receiued
at
the
entrance
into
the
quarter
by
Neuburg
,
and
the
Marquesse
Spinola
,
who
,
attended
on
by
many
Gallants
,
Italians
and
Spaniards
,
on
horsebacke
,
met
him
there
,
and
alighting
off
from
their
horses
,
and
the
Ambassador
comming
out
of
his
Coach
,
saluted
one
the
other
:
and
after
some
few
complements
,
they
mounted
him
on
horsebacke
,
and
lead
him
betweene
them
thorow
their
quarters
into
Marquesse
Spinola
his
Tent
,
with
the
principall
of
their
followers
,
where
they
remained
till
dinner
was
brought
in
,
what
time
Neuburg
and
Spinola
brought
him
in
to
dinner
.
The
first
quarter
was
Sir
Griffin
Markhams
,
a
little
within
which
was
raised
a
plat
,
whereon
were
planted
three
peeces
of
Ordinance
,
which
were
discharged
as
they
passed
by
.
The
foot
stood

about

The
whole
number
of

was
ghessed
to

The
English
Ambassadour
hauing
remained
a
small
time
at
Wesel
,
returned
backe
,
and
came
to
Santen
,
the
appointed
place
for
the
treatie
,
where
he
with
the
other
Ambassadors
lay
vntill
about
the
latter
end
of
Nouember
,
all
which
time
was
spent
in
sundrie
ouertures
on
either
side
,
and
drawing
these
ensuing
Articles
as
indifferent
as
possibly
they
could
deuise
for
either
partie
,
whereby
an
absolute
and
finall
peace
might
be
concluded
,
as
well
to
auoid
the
shedding
of
Christian
bloud
,
as
the
miserable
vastation
of
the
Countrey
,
which
was
in
so
short
a
time
so
harried
and
spoiled
,
that
the
poore
Inhabitants
had
little
left
them
saue
their
bare
houses
.
To
which
Articles
the
Duke
of
Neuburge
set
to
his
hand
,
but
Spinola
making
many
excuses
and
delaies
,
draue
off
the
time
from
day
to
day
,
which
our
Ambassadour
perceiuing
,
would
brooke
no
longer
,
but
hastened
and
determined
forthwith
to
depart
.
Spinola
perceiuing
it
,
sent
Count
Octauio
,
an
Italian
,
Post
in
the
night
(
the
gates
of
Wesel
for
that
purpose
being
left
open
for
him
)
to
Santen
,
to
intreat
him
to
stay
but
till
the
next
night
,
in
which
time
hee
assured
him
a
messenger
would
come
from
Bruxels
,
by
whom
hee
should
know
the
Archdukes
minde
.
Our
Ambassador
(
to
vse
his
owne
word
)
being
wonne
by
Spinolaes
ciuilitie
,
staied
till
that
night
,
in
which
time
there
came
indeed
a
Courrier
or
Post
from
Bruxels
,
with
Letters
from
the
Archduke
,
(
notwithstanding
Peckius
was
in
the
treatie
at
Santen
as
his
agent
)
by
which
Letters
the
Archduke
seemed
to
like
and
allow
very
well
of
the
Articles
,
intimating
withall
his
consent
thereunto
,
in
generall
termes
,
as
,
saying
hee
would
accord
and
signe
,
but
did
not
.
Spinola
made
shew
likewise
to
allow
of
them
.
But
touching
that
Article
&
point
,
of
quitting
the
engarnisond
towns
,
as
Wesel
,
and
the
rest
,
his
answere
was
,
hee
knew
not
the
King
of
Spaine
his
master
his
pleasure
,
and
for
his
owne
authoritie
,
it
was
not
sufficient
and
strong
enough
.
Hereupon
the
Ambassadors
seeing
all
their
labour
in
vaine
,
and
Spinola
intending
nothing
else
then
to
gaine
time
by
playing
fast
and
loose
in
this
manner
,
returned
,
nothing
to
any
purpose
(
as
you
see
)
in
many
weekes
effected
.
A
day
or
two
after
Sir
Henry
Wooton
,
our
Ambassador
,
returned
,
which
was
about
the
first
of
December
,
or
latter
end
of
Nouember
,
the
Armie
of
Prince
Maurice
brake
vp
,
euery
Companie
returning
to
his
Garrison
,
hauing
laien
in
the
field
very
neere
foure
moneths
,
viz.
from
the
eleuenth
of
September
vnto
the
second
of
December
,
hauing
endured
much
by
reason
of
the
vnseasonablenesse
of
the
weather
and
dirtinesse
of
the
place
,
being
subiect
to
euery
inundation
and
ouerflowing
of
the
Rhine
,
insomuch
that
on
the
very
day
of
their
departure
,
the
souldiers
marched
to
the
ships
almost
vp
to
the
knees
,
and
the
waggonmen
were
glad
to
let
their
waggons
swimme
to
saue
their
horses
.
This
is
the
summe
of
this
last
yeares
businesse
in
Cleueland
,
which
hath
so
filled
the
world
with
rumour
,
and
those
Countries
with
feare
.
What
this
yeare
will
produce
,
euent
must
shew
.
He
that
is
acquainted
with
the
Spaniard
,
and
the
policie
of
Spinola
,
(
being
the
most
able
Generall
he
hath
had
in
the
Low
Countries
these
many
yeares
)
will
not
imagine
that
he
will
giue
Wesel
ouer
in
haste
,
hauing
fortified
it
in
that
manner
he
hath
done
,
and
daily
doth
by
all
meanes
possible
.
I
rather
beleeue
(
and
truly
)
with
Prince
Maurice
,
that
he
purposeth
to
make
it
(
to
vse
his
owne
phrase
)
Sedem
Belli
,
the
home
of
his
Armie
,
and
seat
of
his
intended
warre
against
the
low
Countries
,
hauing
gotten
footing
on
this
side
the
Rhine
,
and
a
faire
way
into
Freezland
,
which
hee
hath
long
aimed
at
,
beside
some
aduantage
vpon
the
Frontier
parts
of
Gelderland
,
Schenk-sconce
,
and
the
Betow
.
As
for
Rees
and
Embrick
,
they
are
esteemed
by
him
as
balles
plaied
withall
for
a
time
,
and
recouered
not
with
much
difficultie
,
if
occasion
required
.
Where
beside
,
the
Iesuites
and
Iesuited
Burgers
,
very
likely
,
may
proue
his
friends
,
as
appeared
lately
by
their
sundrie
and
open
affronts
done
vnto
Vtenhouen
the
Gouernour
about
exercise
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
setting
vp
Edicts
and
Plaecaets
vpon
the
Gates
,
with
threatning
of
banishment
and
confiscation
of
goods
to
whosoeuer
of
the
towne
of
Embrick
should
come
to
Protestants
praier
or
Sermon
.
