The consent of time disciphering the errors of the Grecians in their Olympiads, the vncertaine computation of the Romanes in their penteterydes and building of Rome, of the Persians in their accompt of Cyrus, and of the vanities of the Gentiles in fables of antiquities, disagreeing with the Hebrewes, and with the sacred histories in consent of time. VVherein is also set downe the beginning, continuance, succession, and ouerthrowes of kings, kingdomes, states, and gouernments. By Lodovvik Lloid Esquire.

OF THE ORIGINAL OF Mahomet in Arabia: of his greatnes and credit, not onely among the Saracens and Arabians, but also in the East kingdomes: of the inuasions of the Saracens: of their scattering warres in Asia, Europe, and in Affricke: and of their continuance.

THus the kingdome of Persia, the only monarchie of the world for 130. yeeres (I meane from Cyrus vnto Darius) is vtterly nowe de∣stroied by the Saracens the fourth time, a sort of infidels, which had their first original from Agar the bond woman of Abraham, by whom Abraham begate a base sonne called Ismael, whose pro∣genies were called Ismaelites af∣ter the name of Ismael among the Hebrewes: so were they in other places called Agareni after Agars name: and in conti∣nuance * 1.1 of time from Agareni called Saraceni, which name they holde to this day. For euen as from Ammon and Moab, two incestuous sonnes of Lot gotten by his two daughters in his drunkennes, an infinite stocke of wicked and idolatrous people grew, which were named after their fathers name, Ammonites and Moabits, enemies to God and to his people:

so of this bond woman Agar and her sonne Ismael, all the Is∣maelites, * 1.2 and all the Saracens doe spring: which people as they were in the beginning most in nomber, and most able of force and power to persecute then that little flocke of Iacob at that time: so now are they in the latter dayes of the world most in nomber by the names of Saracens, Turkes, Canes, infi∣dels, and such like other names.

I will therefore but touch the historie of Saracens, for that they were alwayes people scattered into all Asia, and from thence to all parts of the world, much like to the Scythians, who in like maner russhed into all partes, and inuaded all countreys, being rude and barbarous nations, praying vp∣on euery place they came into. I referre them that wil reade of the Saracens, to Augustinus Caelius, who at large wrote their histories. I will briefly passe the names of some few of those which beganne to raigne from Mahomet, where he is named Muhamet which began his kingdome after Christ, sixe hun∣dreth twentie and foure, at what time Bonifacius the fift was the fourth Pope of Rome: for the great prophet Mahomet in * 1.3 Arabia, and the great Pope of Rome beganne at one times as two tyrants to persecute the Christians. These two grew so great, that they ruled all Christian Emperours, kings, prin∣ces and states: one, making them to holde his stirope, and to kisse his foote, the other with sworde and fire, tyrannized ouer kingdomes and nations, encreased his fame by blood and tyrannie. When Bonifacius the thirde, and the first Pope of Rome altered the title of a bishop to the dignitie of a Pope, Phocas then was Emperour of Constantinople: for while the Emperours flourished at Rome, no Pope was heard of.

I will returne to speake of the Saracens, who at that very time that they ouercame the Persians, entred into Syria, slewe Bahanes with all his armie, tooke Damascus, brought Egypt to pay tribute, layde siege to Hierusalem, brought Antioche sub∣iect to the Saracens, wasted and spoyled all Syria, and brought * 1.4 the kingdome of Persia (which so long flourished) vnder Ma∣homet,

who gouerned the Persians 800. yeeres and odde.

This poisoned scorpion and the only plague of Christians (I meane Mahomet) was borne in Arabia, a large countrey and wide euery way: here they liue after diuers maners, and with diuers kinds of religion: some with powled heads and hoods like miters, some with beards shauen to their skinne: they ab∣staine from swines flesh: for Solinus saith, that no swine can liue in that Arabia, which the Greekes cal 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Of the diuisiō of Arabia into Harmenios and Erembos, and the third into Scene∣tem, which is that countrey called the region of the Saracens, * 1.5 people that haue no houses, but dwell in tents couered ouer with things made and wouen with goates haire like the ma∣ner of the Scythians, who likewise had no houses but their wa∣gons, in the which they carie their wiues, their children, and themselues into any coūtrey where they take warre in hand.

Nowe of the Arabians trafique and marchandise, and of their frankincense, myrrhe, and many other kinde of spices, of their birdes, Phoenix and Cynomolgies, of their precious * 1.6 stones, of their hilles, sweete riuers, and other rare things in Arabia, I referre you to Strabo: he leaueth nothing vntoucht * 1.7 within Arabia.

But I wil returne to Mahomet, a poore man of a base and meane parentage, brought vp a seruant to feede and to at∣tend * 1.8 camels, a young man of a wonderfull craftie subtile wit: hauing married his mistresse, and thereby growen wealthie, he vsed the company of one Sergius a Monke, with whom he was taught to accuse the Iewes as wicked cruel tyrants, to kill * 1.9 a great Prophet, and to accuse the Christians of ignorancie, and of much simplicitie, scoffing them for their superstitious ceremonies and meere fantasies in their religion (as he said) of their God Christ.

This Mahomet vomited his malice in such sort, that not onely Asia, but Affricke and Europe were by him infected: hee settled himselfe in the richest regions of all Arabia na∣med Scenites, where in short time through the craft and subtiltie of his fained religion, and by the dayly accesse

of a white pigeon in the eare to eate graines of wheat, which he vsed to deceiue the simple, supposing the pigeon to bee some spirit from God that instructed Mahomet in all good discipline and religion, that whatsoeuer Mahomet did, it was taken as done by a prophet. He grew of such credite within Arabia, that he made lawes and decrees, he altered the whole course of the Arabians gouernment, and brought the Sara∣cens to beginne their yeeres and their accompt, from the be∣ginning of Mahomets raigne.

For as the Grecians were wont to nomber yeeres by their Olympiads, the Romanes by their Lustrum: so the Arabians and the Saracens vsed their accompt by Hegira, begunne in the * 1.10 time of Mahomet, at what time he escaped hardly the hands of the chiefe men in Arabia called Philarchi: who thought to kill Mahomet for his newe doctrine against the religion of the Arabians. But after he had escaped, he gathered a great armie, by meanes of many that tooke him and honoured him as a diuine prophet, and entred with force and maine strength againe vpon his enemies, and had the victory ouer them. From the which time the Arabians beganne to ac∣compt their yeeres in memorie of the escape of Mahomet by flight, which the Arabians call Hegira, and after by Mahomet * 1.11 commaunded in the time of Heraclius the Emperour and Pope Honorius, in the yeere of our Sauiour sixe hundreth twentie and one, to bee kept of the Saracens and of the Arabi∣ans in great honour and accompt, and to beginne all their ac∣compts, trafiques and marchandise, by Hegira. And as wee vse the yeere of our Lorde at the very day that he was con∣ceiued in the wombe of the Virgine by the holy Ghost: so the Arabians from the time of this Hegira by Mahomet com∣maunded, vsed their yeeres.

MAhomet the great prophet, and the only Prince of Ara∣bia * 1.12 began his gouernment in the yeere of our saluation 624. At what time Heraclius gouerned as Emperour in Con∣stantinople: he raigned nine yeres, died, and was honoured as a God to this day among the Saracens.

After this Mahomet, raigned in Arabia Ebubezer three * 1.13 yeeres: during which time, he subdued the citie of Gaza, and brought that prouince altogether vnder the Arabians, who at this beganne to be sirnamed Amiras, a name of dignitie, as Caesars among the Romanes, or Pharaos among the Egyptians: this raigned the first Amiras.

The second Amiras was called Haumar, which raigned 12. * 1.14 yeeres: this enlarged the countrey of Arabia, from Egypt vn∣to the riuer Euphrates: this brought Persia subiect to Arabia, and forced Hormisda their last king to take his flight, and to leaue behinde him all his treasures, and all the wealth of Persia. This Amiras tooke Caesarea a citie in Palestina, after he had besieged it seuen yeeres by his lieutenant Muhanias, who was his Generall from the confines of Egypt vnto Euphrates. This Haumar after hee had destroyed the temple of Hierusa∣lem, caused the Crosse which hee found in the temple, to be set vp in Mount Oliuet to scoffe there the Christians, who be∣ganne at that very time to worship euery where the Crosse: that was the first Crosse, and the first time that the vse of Crosses beganne, from that in Mount Oliuet. But after much harme done by this Haumar, hee was slaine by a Persian wo∣man named Margaret, as hee was praying, kneeling before the newe erected idole of Mahomet.

After this Haumar succeeded Hotaman the fourth Ami∣ras: * 1.15 this inuaded Affrica, possessed diuers places, and filled many townes with Saracens: at what time Muhanias the chiefe Generall of all the Arabians territories, sailed with a great nauie into Cyprus, inuaded the whole Isle, and tooke the ci∣tie Constantia, and the citie Aradus, and at his returne came to Rhodes, destroyed the huge and monstrous image of Phoe∣bus called Colossus Solis, accompted one of the seuen wonders of the world.

While Muhanias was in warres with the Cyprians and the Rhodians, the very same time another Prince of Arabia named in the Chronicles Busor, inuaded Isauria, destroyed * 1.16 the countrey, made a great slaughter of the people, and

brought fiue thousande captiues prisoners into Arabia: but within fewe dayes Hoaman was slaine through the treasonof his owne housholdes and chiefe friends. This time raigned king in Fraunce Clodoueus the second of that name, which Clo∣doueus was called Lewes the first: and in Constantinople raigned Emperour Constans which was sonne to Constantius the third, who had a great ouerthrowe in battell by sea by Muhamias with his armie of Saracens. Eugenius then was elected the tenth Pope of Rome.

Hali who gouerned the Saracens after Hoaman with Muha∣mias * 1.17 for 3. yeeres, at what time he was slaine by a conspiracie of souldiers: after whose death Muhanias became the fift A∣miras ouer the Arabians, who gouerned foure and twentie yeeres, and kept his court all that time at Damascus. This Mu∣hanias grew mightie and strong, inuaded Affrica, slew foure∣score thousand Africanes, spoyled the territories of the Ro∣manes, entred into their confines: but the Romanes forced him to flee, pursued him, and compelled him to seeke the Romanes fauour, paying three thousand pound in golde, and fiftie Saracens for yerely tribute. Constantine the fift sirnamed Pogonatus, held then the Empire at Constantinople.

Gizid the sonne of Muhanias succeeded his father, and raig∣ned * 1.18 after him 3. yeeres: this had not such successe as Muha∣mias his father had: but after Gizid succeeded Habdella the * 1.19 seuenth Amiras, against whom Marnan was elected the eight Amiras, who died within nine moneths after, and left his * 1.20 sonne Habdimelech to be the ninth Amiras: this raigned two and twentie yeeres. * 1.21

The Saracens about this time inuaded so many countreys out of Asia, as in Spaine with such armies by long warres with the Gothes, who at that time mastred all Spaine. After the Ro∣mans time, and now after the Gothes, the Saracens possessed the West part of Spaine, and from Spaine such an infinite nomber entred into Fraunce in the time of Martellus and Charles the great, that made all Europe to be in feare of these monstrous infidels: these spoiled and destroied countrels & kingdomes,

and vsed great tyrannie in euery place of Europe, in like sort as they did before to the Hebrewes and to the Church of God, at what time they were Agareni or Ismaelites after the name of Ismael and his mother Agar, and nowe from Agareni are called Saraceni, continuing their tyrannie (euen from A∣brahams * 1.22 time vnto this day) the name of Turkes, which in the yeere of our Sauiour 1299. tooke the Empire of Constanti∣nople, and began to set his Empire there. And for that the Sa∣racens, and the Turkes after them, haue their histories in the chronicles at large set forth in Aug. Caelius, Egnatius, Blōdus and others, I will set downe as in a table some fewe of these Sara∣cens Amiras, for that they followed the Persian historie, whom they the fourth time haue conquered, as before is written, first by Cyrus, the second time by Alexander the great, the thirde by Alexander Seuerus being long before by the Romanes kept vnder, and now the fourth time by Haumar the third A∣miras of the Saracens: and so the Persians endured the bon∣dage, vntil the time of Sophi came, who gaue diuers repulses to the Turkes, and to the late Egyptians called Soldani, reco∣uered Persia, that now againe Persia is very populous, and in∣habited, and strongly defended by the Sophie, which is now the generall name of all their kings.

But to returne to Habdimelech the ninth Amiras, who had * 1.23 now concluded a league with Iustinian the Emperour, and had also subdued Armenia and Mesopotamia, and ended the ci∣uill warres which this time grewe betweene the Princes of Arabia: this hauing done great exploits, ended his life after he had raigned two and twentie yeeres. This time raigned in France Clodoueus the thirde, foure yeeres, and after him * 1.24 his brother Hildebertus raigned king in France 18. yeeres. During the raigne of Habdimelech, a huge nomber of Egypti∣ans inuaded Affrica, and destroyed Carthage.

After this succeeded the tenth Amiras of the Saracens: this * 1.25 turned many of the Christians Churches to be temples for Mahomet, as the Church of Damascus and others: this time Masalmas a Barbarian captaine, gaue a great ouerthrowe to

the Romans at the assaulting of Tyrannia, and after spoiled the countrey of Galici in his returne, and died in the ninth yeere of his raigne.

Zulzimin the eleuenth Amiras folowed: he raigned three yeeres: during which time Haumar the second of that name, * 1.26 and the 12. Amiras that succeeded after Zulzimin, subdued Cilicia, and Masalmas another prince of the Saracens, inuaded Asia, tooke the citie of Pergamum, layde siege to Constantino∣ple, which siege endured three yeeres, at what time Zulzimin died, & Haumar the second that succeeded him, raigned two * 1.27 yeeres after him, who was glad to haue escaped the great fa∣mine, cold and plague, which then raigned among his armie during the siege of Constantinople: beside his whole nauie vpon the sea were burnt vp with wilde fire, and monstrous great hailestones: this Haumar persecuted the Christians most ex∣tremely.

Gizid the second of that name & the 13. Amiras, succeeded Haumar and raigned 4. yeres: this was by a Iewe perswaded to * 1.28 destroy images. About this time Muza a Saracen captaine in∣uaded Spaine, and conquered diuers prouinces and cities, set∣led himselfe, and inhabited as a king ouer the Saracens in Spaine: after whom succeeded 15. kings of the Saracens within * 1.29 20. yeeres after Muza, at what time Rodericus the last king of the Vestgothes which raigned in Spaine, & the Christians, were forced to flee, and to keepe Asturum and Legio for their prin∣cipall strength: after which time they were called the kings of Legion. This time the cities of Italy beganne to elect in euery citie a chiefe Magistrate, which they nowe call by the names of the Duke, as the Duke of Millaine, the Duke of Flo∣rence, and so of the rest, all Italy being before gouerned by Hexarchies, from the which the cities reuolted into this new order and election of Dukes in euery citie, after the time of foureteene Hexarchies, which gouerned Italy before it was deuided into dukedomes.

Euelid the 10. Amiras, and the sonne of Gizid, raigned after * 1.30 his father 18. yeres: during which time, Masalmas a prince of

the Saracens tooke Caesarea a citie in Cappadocia. This time the Saracens strength & force were great: for they inhabited eue∣ry coast of the world: they were strong in many and in diuers * 1.31 partes of Asia: they ruled as kings in Africke and in Spaine: they possest many places in Fraunce, and of the Romane terri∣tories: * 1.32 for now the glorie of the Romanes and their power de∣caied, after whom the Saracens and the Turkes beganne to be mightie. After this, Euelid died, in the 18. yeere of his reigne.

After him succeeded Gizid the 3. of that name, and the fif∣teenth * 1.33 Amiras: this was slaine by his owne people the same yeere that he became Amiras: after whome, Eyces his sonne * 1.34 reigned one yeere after his father, the 16. Amiras: this time * 1.35 reigned in Fraunce Carolus Martellus, with his brother Pipinus: this Martellus made a great slaughter of the Saracens, at what time Eudo their general brought to the number of foure hun∣dred thousande Saracens of men women and children from Spaine to Fraunce, and was subdued by Martellus, with the most of his people ouerthrowen, and their king Abdimarus slaine.

In the time of this valiant Martellus, the Saracens inuaded Fraunce sundry times, and tooke Narbon and Anemon, two of the chiefest cities of that part of Fraunce: but they wer assaul∣ted by Martellus, so that they fled from place to place, & were vanquished and slaine in heapes: for Martellus slue three Sa∣racen kings, Abdimarus, Athinus, and Armoreus: but they wan∣ted no kings, the best captaines tooke vpon them the names * 1.36 of kings, when any king died or was slaine in the field: for in Spaine fifteene kings of the Saracens were slaine within twen∣tie yeres, and yet the Saracens continued and preuailed from 200. yeeres before Martellus time, vntill the time of Ferdi∣nandus the great, 800. yeeres well nigh after: During which time the Saracens (as I write in the historie of Spaine) much preuailed.

This time Maruan the second of that name, and the seuen∣teenth * 1.37 Amiras, inuaded Cyprus with an armie of Saracens: but such ciuill warres began betweene the princes of Arabia, that Maruan was constrained to forsake Arabia, and to flee to E∣gypt,

after he had reigned Amiras 4. yeeres, and from thence forced to take the like flight towards Spaine, to rest among his Countriemen, but hee was preuented and slaine by Salim * 1.38 prince of Chorasimia.

About this time the Hunnes, people from Scythia, made se∣uen seuerall iournies from Scythia to Pannonia, and at last seated themselues, whose chiefe captaine was named Arpat: of this reade more in Ritius, and in Bonfinus. Now in Arabia reigned Muhamat the 18. Amiras, at what time gouerned in * 1.39 Constantinople, Constantine surnamed Copronimos as Emperor, and Aistulphus reigned king of Lumbardie, & was at that time the thirtie one king in number, the which had reigned kings in Lumbardie.

This Lumbardie is a pleasant fertil countrie, called of some the Paradice of all Eorope, which reacheth from the Alpes to the riuer of Rubicon. But to Arabia againe, where nowe reig∣ned Habdallias the ninetenth Amiras of the Saracens: this reig∣ned twentie one yeeres, and gathered an armie of eightie * 1.40 thousand, inuaded Cappadocia, vnder captaine Salimie, who was appointed Generall ouer the Saracens.

This Amiras vexed the Christians sore: the Arabians wax∣ed so mightie at home and abroade, that almost no place was free from the Arabians▪ they had warres this time with the Armenians, and with the Turkes, who yet had not erected their Empire vp, but were such scattering infidels, and like in all maner of life and liuing to these Saracens, and to the Scythians, which dispearsed them selues ouer all the whole worlde, as Caterpillers, to destroy and spoyle all Nations and Countries, one succeeding the other. * 1.41

Mady succeeded Habdallias: this was the twentie Amiras, who reigned nine yeeres, in the which time hee prepared an armie for warres against Asia: but hee was then intercepted and returned into Arabia without any thing done: howe be it Aaron his sonne inuaded Armenia, and Ithuma entred Asia, and was slaine with all his armie by the Romanes.

Againe, Aaron the sonne of Mady entred into Asia, and

gote diuers victories, and constreined Eirene with her sonne Constantine the Emperour to seeke peace, and to pay tribute * 1.42 vnto the Arabians.

After Mady succeeded his sonne Moses, and reigned Ami∣ras one yeere, after whom folowed Aaron the brother of Mo∣ses, he reigned twentie three yeeres: during which time the Arabians inuaded Cyprus, subdued Cappadocia, tooke two nota∣ble Fortes and strong Castles, Amachan in Armenia, and Seba∣san: this time florished in Fraunce Charles the great, to whom this Amiras sent many rich presents, & withal a mighty huge * 1.43 Elephant. This Arabian prince had such great victories, that Nicephorus the Emperour had much adooe to escape from his hand in Crason, which is a Towne in Phrygia: besides the Arabians had spoiled Sardinia, and destroyed Corsica, and also the Saracens that were nowe dispersed into al Countries spe∣cially into Spaine, where they gouerned as kings, and in Fraunce, where likewise they bare such great sway and soue∣raigntie, that Charles the great was well contented for the time to conclude a peace with Abumalach king of the Sara∣cens. Well, to finish shortly his great exploites of long histo∣ries, I passe to the 23. Amiras.

Muhamad the sonne of this Aaron the twentie three Ami∣ras * 1.44 of the Arabians, in whose time great ciuill warres began in many Countries, that hee had much a dooe to keepe his owne Countrie from ciuill inuasion for fiue yeeres.

After him succeeded in Arabia Habdallias the third of that name, and the twentie foure Amiras: this reigned 17. yeres. * 1.45 During this time, the Saracens gaue two great ouerthrowes to the Greciās, at what time they tooke the Isle of Creete, spoi∣led * 1.46 Palestina, & possessed many Regions & diuers countries, wasted much the countrie betweene Vtica and Carthage, so that the Arabians waxed the only nation in strength & force, in all the East kingdomes: for by this time Africa which was ful of the Saracens, was forced to yeeld to them aswel as Spaine: for still came from Arabia supplies to euery Countrie and place where the Saracens had planted them selues, aswell in Europe and Africke, as they did in Asia: for nowe Abderana

king ouer the Saracens in Africa, was not contented to liue quietly ouer his people in Africa, neither Abumalach, nor yet * 1.47 Aigolandus, with whom Charles the great had long and terri∣ble * 1.48 warres, could be satisfied with any one kingdome of the world, vntill at length God so strengthened the Christians, that they were sore afrighted and amazed by the meanes of these infidels, that they ioyned together their power and force, and were by Gods prouidence after 800. yeeres deli∣uered from the tyrannie of these cruell Saracens.

Now reigned king in Fraunce Lewes, surnamed, The holie, sonne to Charles the great, who succeeded his father both in the kingdom of Fraunce, & in the Empire of Rome, which was taken away into Constantinople, vntill the time of Charles the great, at what time Leo the 3. of that name, and the 30. Pope of Rome renued the Empire, and was called Imperium Roma∣norum nouum. Nowe in Arabia reigned Muhamat the twen∣tie * 1.49 fiue Amiras for fourtie yeeres: during which time the Sa∣racens rushed into Italie, spoyled and destroyed the countrie with sword and fire, at what time they came to the suburbes of Rome and did great harme, spared no place, but as Blondus * 1.50 affirmeth, Ferro & flamma totam deuastarunt Italiam: this time the Danes inuaded England in the time of Edelbertus, who va∣liantly resisted the Danes, and constreined them with great losse and slaughter to retire: reade more in Polidore of this. * 1.51

After this time the Saracens began in many places to bee slacke, and specially in the most part of Europe, though in Spaine they continued vntill the great Ferdinandus time: but for that the Saracens are sufficiently spoken of in the historie of Spaine, I will therefore here no further proceede there∣in, onely laying downe so many as reigned kings in Ara∣bia, called by the name of Amiras, from Mahumet the first pro∣phet and prince, vntill Muhamat the twentie fiue Amiras, which continued 253. yeeres: these names followe in this sort as you see set here downe.
