¶ King Richard Cuer de Lion. (Book Richard I)

[illustration]

RIchard the first borne at Ox∣ford, for his valiantnesse surnamed* 1.1 Cordelion, or with the Lions heart, the seconde sonne of Henry the se∣cond, began his raigne the sixth day of July, in the yeare of oure Lorde 1189.

He was bigge of stature, with a merrie countenance. To his Souldyoures fauourable: bountifull to his friends: to Strangers a gréeuous enimie: hard to be pleased: desirous of warre: abhorring ydlenesse: enclined to pride, lechery, and auarice.

He comming from beyonde the Seas, landed at South∣hampton* 1.2 the twelfth day of August, and was Crowned at Westminster on the third day of September, by the hands of the Archbishop Baldwine.

He commanded that no Iewes nor women shoulde be at his Coronation, for feare of enchantmentes whiche were wont to be practised: for breaking of whiche commmande∣ment, many Iewes were slayne the same day.

Elianor the olde Quéene, who at the commaundement of hir husbande had bene long kept close prisoner, was now set at libertie.

The Archbishop of Canturburie being sore offended wyth Erle Iohn the kings brother, for takyng to wife Isabel coun∣tesse of Glocester, his coosin in the thirde degrée▪ wrote a threat∣ning letter to the same Iohn, commanding him not to touch the virgine, and to appeare at a peremptory day before him to aunswere the matter.

King Richard gaue the Castels of Berwike and Rokesburgh to the Scottish king, for the summe of x. M. pound: he also sold to Hugo de Puteaco Bishoppe of Durham, his own prouince for a great péece of mony, and created him Erle of the same, and then sayde in game, I am a wonderous craftesman, I haue made a newe Earle of an olde Bishoppe. He solde the Priorie of Couentrie, to Hugh Bishoppe of Chester, for iij. C. markes, which Hugh with a power of armed men inuaded the Priory, chased the Prior away, beat the Monkes, lamed some, cast some into prison, and spoyling the other, droue thē away, brake the Hutches of the Churche, brente their Char∣ters and priuileges.

The King also fayned to haue lost his signet, and made a newe, and then caused to be proclaymed, that who so euer woulde safely enioy those things which before time they had inrolled, shoulde come to the newe seale, wherby it came to passe, that many which could not finde him in England, went ouer sea to fine with him at his plesure. He gaue his brother Iohn the prouinces of Notingham, Deuonshire, and Corne∣wal.

In this time were many robbers and out-lawes, among* 1.3 the whiche, Robert Hoode & little Iohn renowmed théeues, continued in woods, despoyling and robbing the goods of the rich. They killed none but such as would inuade them, or by resistance for their own defence.

The sayde Robert entertayned an hundred tall men, and good Archers, with such spoyles and theftes as he got, vppon

whome foure hundred (were they neuer so strong,) durste not giue the onset. He suffered no woman to be oppressed, violated, or otherwise inolested: poore mens goods he spa∣red, aboundantlye relieuing them with that, whiche by theft he gotte from Abbayes and the houses of rich Carles: whome Maior blameth for his rapine and thefte: but of all théeues he affirmeth hym to be the Prince, and the moste gentle théefe.

Till this firste yeare of King Richard the firste, the Citi∣zens* 1.4 of London hadde bene gouerned by Portgraues, as Fabi∣an sometime an Alderman of London, in his Chronicle affir∣meth: whose names with the lawes and customes of the Cittie then vsed, (he sayeth) were recorded in an olde booke written in the Saxon tongue, called Domes daye, sometime remayning in the Guilde Hal of London, but now embezeled.

To this accordeth the Charter of the same Citie, gran∣ted by William the Conquerour, and diuerse other Records, wherein I finde, that the chiefe Magistrate of the Citie of* 1.5 London, in the time of king Edward last before the Conquest, called the Confessor, was called Portgraue▪ whose name was Wolfgare.

In the time of William Conquerour, and William Ru∣fus,* 1.6 Godfrey Mandeuile or Magnauile was Portgraue, & Ri∣charde de Pare Prouost.

In the time of King Henrie the first, Hugh Bouch Port∣graue, and Leofstanus Goldsmith Prouost.

After them Awburie de Vere Portgraue, and Robert de Barquerel Prouost

In the time of King Stephen, Gilbert Becket Portgraue, and Andrew Buchennet Prouost.

In the time of King Henrie the second, Peter Fitz Wal∣ter Portgraue.

After him Iohn Fitz Nigelly Portgraue.

After him Ernulfus Buchel Portgraue.

After him William Fitz Isabel Portgraue.

These Portgraues are also in diuerse Recordes called Vicecomites or Sherifes, for that they then farmed the Sherif∣wike of the King, as the Shirifes of London doe at this day:* 1.7 and some authors, as Iohannis Beuar and other, do cal them Domes men, or Judges of the Kings Court.

This yeare the Citizens of London obtayned to be go∣uerned* 1.8 by two Baylifes, whiche in diuerse auntiente re∣cords are also called Sherifes, for that they (like as the Port∣graues) farmed the Sherifewike.

They also obtained to haue a Maior to be their principal gouernour, and lieuetenaunte of the Citie, as of the Kings Chamber.

The names of the first Baylifes or Shirifes, who entred at the feast of Saint Michael the Archangell, were as follow∣eth.

Sherifes.

• Henrie Cornehil.
• Richard Reinery.

Maior.

• Henrie Fitz Alwyne.
• Fitz Leofstan

Goldsmith,* 1.9 firste Maior of London, and continued Maior during his life, that was foure and twentie yeares, as appeareth by a very antient Recorde sometime pertayning to the Nunrye of Clerkenwel, contayning as a perfite register, all such* 1.10 grauntes of landes as was made to them by anye, which hath diuerse déeds, where vnto Henrie Fitz Alwyne first Maior of London is a witnesse, dated the 1. 2. 3. 4. &c. of Richard the first.

And for a more proofe, I finde recorded in the Guilde Hal,* 1.11 in a booke called the Customes of London, a constitution or order howe Citizens shall procéede in buildings betwéene Citizen and Citizen, whyche constitution begynneth thus:

In the yere of our Lord. 1189. the first yere of the raigne of king Richard, Henry Fitz Alwyne being Maior, who was the first Maior of London, it was prouided and ordayned &c. Other proofes might be shewed out of diuerse auntiente Re∣cordes, but these are sufficient.

King Richard betooke the guiding of this land to William* 1.12 Longshampe Bishop of Ely, Chauncellour of England, and y^• foure and twentith daye of Februarie, he tooke his scrip and staffe at Canturburie, and the sixth of Marche toke the Sea at Douer, and transported ouer.

The second of July the two Kings of England & of France met at Towers, and from thence set forward on their iourney towards Ierusalem.

The towne of Mawling in Kent with the Nunry was cō∣sumed with fire.

The Jewes in the townes of Norwich, Saint Edmunds Bu∣rie, Lincolne, Stamforde faire, and Linne, were robbed and spoy∣led.* 1.13 And at Yorke to the number of 500. besides women and children, entred a tower of the castel, which the people assai∣ling, the Jews profered money to be in safetie of their liues, but the Christians would not take it: wherevpon their men of law sayde to them, it is better for vs to die for our lawe, than to fall into the handes of our enimies: and they all a∣gréeing to that Counsell, cut the throtes of their wiues and children, and cast them ouer the walles on the Christians heades: the residue they locked vp in the kings lodging, and burnt both the house and themselues.

Geffrey Archebishoppe of Yorke, retourning from Rome,* 1.14 and now consecrated, arriued at Douer with his traine, whō Matthew de Clare, by the commaundemente of the Kings chaunceller, entring with violence into the Church of Saint Martins le Grande in London, drew from the Alter, and so ca∣ried him to prison.

William Bishoppe of Ely, builded the vtter wall aboute* 1.15 the Tower of London, and caused a déepe ditche to be made a∣bout the same, thinking he coulde haue caused the riuer of Thamis to goe rounde aboute it, but he bestowed great cost in vain••.

King Richarde subdued the Ile of Cipers, and then ioy∣ning* 1.16 his power with Phillip the French Kings in Asia con∣quered Acon, where there grewe betwéene the two Kings a gréeuous displeasure: for which cause Phillip shortly depar∣ted thence, and comming into Fraunce, inuaded the Country of Normandie.

Iohn brother to King Richard, toke on him the kingdom* 1.17 of England in his brothers absence.

Robert Earle of Leicester dyed in his iourney to Ierusa∣lem.

King Richard restored to the Christians the Cittie of Ioppa, and in manye battayles putte the Turkes to greate sorrow.

The bones of the most famous King of Brytaine, Arthur,* 1.18 were found at Glastenburie, in a goodly olde se••ulchre, about the which stoode two pillers, in which were letters written, which, by reason of the great barbarousnesse of the lāguage, and the foulenesse, no body coulde reade: vpon the sepulture was a crosse of leade, whereon was written, here lyeth the* 1.19 noble king of Brytains Arthur.

William Bishoppe of Ely, did commonlye ride with. 500.* 1.20 horsses, and gréeued Abbayes by meane of his lodging wyth them: he withstoode Iohn the Kings brother, who sayde, hée wist not if his brother Richard were aliue or not. To whom the Bishop aunswered, if King Richard be yet liuing, it were vntrueth to take from him the Crowne. If he be deade, Arthure the elder brothers sonne, muste enioye the same.

King Richarde exchaunged Cipres, wyth Guy of Le∣singham,* 1.21 for the Kingdome of Ierusalem: wherefore the King of Englande a long time after was called King of Ieru∣salem.

The Bishoppe of Ely legate to the Pope, Chauncellour* 1.22 of Englande, and gouernour of the Realme, was forced to take the Tower of London for hys refuge, wherein Earle Iohn besieged, him, at lengthe the Bishoppe getting li∣cence to depart went to Douer, but he was there forced to sweare that he woulde not departe the Realme: yet bée∣ing in a maruellous disquietnesse of minde, he putte off hys mannes apparell, & put on womans, meanyng so to escape: whylest hée goeth vppe and downe on the shore, bearing a webbe of clothe on hys arme as hée woulde sell it, styll wayting for a shippe, a sorte of women pulled off his kerchiefe, and threwe him to the grounde, and after beate hym, and drewe hym along the sandes, wherevpon great crye beyng made, the Burgesies ranne, and with muche a doe, gotte hym from among them, and kepte hym strayghtlye tyll he hadde obtayned licence to departe the Realme.* 1.23

Then the Archebishoppe of Rhoane, wyth the consente of Earle Iohn, toke vpon him the rule of the lande as Uice•• Chauncellour.

King Richarde hauing knowledge that Phillip of* 1.24 Fraunce inuaded Normandie, and that Iohn his brother hadde made himselfe King of Englande, made peace with the Saladine for thrée yeares, and wyth a small compa∣nye retourning homewarde, was taken prisoner by Leo∣polde Duke of Austria, who broughte hym to Henrie* 1.25 the Emperour, and there kepte hym in prison a yeare and fiue monthes. He was enuyed for hys valiauncie, in that he hadde shewed more proofe of hys prowes, than all the other had.

Wolfangus Lazius, in hys booke de Romano Imperio, affir∣meth that Leopolde of Austria, when he hadde taken king

Richard, for some iniurie done to the house of Austria, hée* 1.26 compelled hym to builde the walles aboute Vienna, the chiefest Cittie of Austria, the whyche Wals wythin oure memorie defended all Germanie from the inuasion of the Turke.

The rumor being spredde that King Richarde was taken* 1.27 as yée haue hearde, forth wyth the Frenche King and Erle Iohn made a greate conspiracie togyther, meaning to take the Kingdome of Englande, herevppon a greate num∣ber of Flemmings were assembled at Witsa••••e, and an innumerable multitude of Flemmings readye to come ouer, but theyr messengers being taken, their treason was bewrayed.

Elianor the olde Quéene caused the Sea coastes to bée watched ouer against Flaunders, but notwithstanding Erle Iohn came secréetely into Englande, to rayse the Walchmen and Scottes, but the King of Scottes woulde not ayde hym. The Walchmen in the partes about Kingstone and Windsore toke prayes abrode.

The Frenche King entred Normandie, founde small resi∣staunce, wanne diuerse Townes, Gisors was deliuered to him, then he hasted towards Roane, & besieged it, but through the great industrie of Robert Earle of Leicester, he profited little there, and so returned into Fraunce▪ Earle Iohn percei∣uing his treason was discouered, fortifyed hys Castels and passed ouer into Fraunce, and ioyned with the Frenche King.

King Richard sent for his mother and the Archebishop of Rhoane to come vnto hym into Almayne, being nowe in greate hope to bée deliuered, and in the meane tyme the Archbishoppe of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 was made regent of Eng∣land.

The Kings friendes entreating for his deliueraunce, his* 1.28 ransome was set at 100000. pound, to wit to the Emperour 100000. markes, to the Empresse 30000. markes: and to y^• Duke of Austrich 20000. markes: wherevpon commaunde∣mēt was directed from the kings Iustices, that al Bishops, Prelates, Earles, Barons, Abbots, and Priors, should bring in the fourth parte of theyr reuenewes towardes the kings raunsome, and besids this, the cleargie brought in their gol∣den and siluer chalices, and fléeced their shrines, all whiche was coyned into money.

The order of the Cestercencies, did giue theyr wool for one* 1.29 yeare &c. all the money gathered for the Kings raunsome, to remaine in the custodie of Hubert Archbishoppe of Canturbu∣rie, Richarde Bishoppe of London, William Earle of Arundel, Hameline Earle of Warren, and the Maior of London.

The King was restored to libertie, the most parte of hys raunsome being paide, and pledges left for the residue. In the mean time letters were intercepted of Erle Iohn which he had sent into Englād touching treason, one Adam of Saint Edmund Cleark, being sent by Erle Iohn, to prouide that his Castel might be fortified against King Richard, came to Lon∣don, and dyned with Hubert Archbishoppe of Canturburie, where he bragged of Earle Iohns prosperitie, and familiari∣tie* 1.30 with the French king, for y^• which being suspected, he was after dinner apprehēded by the Maior of Londō, who toke frō him his letters, and deliuered them to the Archbishoppe of Canturburie, who on the next morrow called a Coūsel of the Earles and Barons, and shewed them the letters, where∣vpon they al c••nsented that Erle Iohn should be dispossessed of all his lande in England and that his Castels should be be∣sieged. The same day the same Archbishop and Bishoppes excommunicated Earle Iohn and all his fauourers, whiche troubled the peace of the kingdome. And forth with the Arch∣bishop* 1.31 besieged the Castel of Marleborough, which belonged to Earle Iohn, and toke it. After this he besieged Notingham Castell.

The King taking ship at Antwerpe▪ landed a•• Sandwich, on* 1.32 the. 12. of March, shortly after he besieged the Castell of No∣tingham, and wan it, and after that the Castel of Tikehil▪ and then rode to Winchester, wher he was again solemnly crow∣ned on the xvij. of April. After this he called into his hands, all such thing as hée had eyther giuen or sold by patentes or otherwise, by whiche meanes he got a great sum of money, and sayled into Normandie the xij. of Maye, where hauing a great army, he tooke Taileburge and the countie of Angolesme. Shortly after a peace was taken betwéene the two kings of England and Fraunce, the xiij. of June, and also by meanes of Elianor the old Quéene, Earle Iohn was reconciled to hys brother. King Richard gaue to him the Erledomes of Mor∣ton, Cornewal, Dorset, Somerset, Notingham▪ Darby, & Lancastre: y^• Castels of Marleborough, & Luthegarshal, with the forrests and* 1.33 appurtinaunces: the honor of Wallingford, Tikehil and Eye: the Earledome of Gloucester with the Earles daughter Isabel▪ though she were a kin to him: but he kept certaine Castelles belonging to the said Earld••mes in his owne handes: he re∣moued from him hys Concubines, and toke to him his own wife, which he had not knowen of a long time before.

King Richard sent messengers to the Pope, complayning vpon the Duke of Austrich, for misusing of him and his, as they came by distresse of weather throughe his Countrey: wherevpon the Pope excommunicated the Duke, and en∣ioyed him to release the ••••uenaunts that he constrayned the King to make, and to sende home the pledges: but the Duke refused this order contempning the Popes authoritie, who shortly after dyed, and was kept vnburied til his son had re∣leased the English pledges that lay in hostage for the mony behinde of K.

William Fitz Osbert a Citizen of London, poore in degrée,* 1.35 euill fauoured of shape, but yet verye eloquent, moued the common people to séeke libertie and fréedome, and not to bée subiect to the rich and mightie, by which meanes he drewe to him many great companies, and with all his power de∣fended the poore mens cause against the riche. 52000. Londo∣nors he allured to him to be at his deuotion and commande∣mēt. The king being warned of this tumult, cōmanded him to cease from those attemptes, but the people still followed him, as they before had done: he made to them orations, ta∣king for his theame this sentence▪ Haurietis aquas in gau••io de fontibus saluatoris, whiche is to say Ye shal draw in ioy, waters forth of the wels of your sauiour. And to this he added: I am (sayd he) y^e sauiour of poore men, yée be poore, & haue assayed long y^e hard hands of rich mē: Now draw yée holsome water forth of my Wels, & that w^e ioy, for the time of your visitatiō is come. This Williā was cōmaunded to appeare before the kings counsell to aunsweare for himselfe in suche causes as shoulde be layde against him, where he appeared, but wyth* 1.36 such a multitude of people, that the Lordes were afrayde, and remitted him with pleasaunte wordes for the time, ap∣pointing some priuliy when he was alone to apprehende him. He sooke the stéeple of Bow Church in Chope, and forti∣fied it with munition and victuals: The Archbishop of Can∣turburie then being at Londō with other Iustices sent to him, and willed him to come forth of the Church & he should haue his life saued: but he refused to come forth, wherfore y^• Arche∣bishop talking with the Citizens of London, called togither a great number of armed area least any stur should be made.

The Saterdaye therefore being the Passion sondaye euen, the stéeple and Church of Bowe were assaulted, and William with his complices taken, but not without bloudshed, for hée was forced by fire and smoke to for sake the Churche: he was brought to the Archbishop in the Towre, where he was by y^e Iudges condemned, and by the héeles drawn from thence to a place called the Elmes, and ther hāged with nine of his fellowes.

This counterfaite friende to the poore, who named hym∣selfe* 1.37 to be the sauiour, perswading them against the riche, was a man of an euil life, a murderer, who slew one manne with his owne handes: a fornicatour, who poluted Bowe church with his Concubine: and amongst other his detesta∣ble facts, one that hadde falsely accused his elder brother of treason whyche elder brother hadde in hys youthe* 1.38 broughte him vppe in learning, and done manye things for his preferment. Yet after the death of this wicked ma∣lefactor, the simple people honoured him as a martyre, in so much that they stale awaye the gibbet whereon he was han∣ged, and pared away the Earth, that was be-bled with hys bloude, and kepte the same as holye reliques to heale sicke men.

King Richard graunted licence vnto Phillip Bishoppe of Durham, to coyne mony in his Citie of Durham, which liber∣tie* 1.39 none of his predicessours had enioyed of long tyme be∣fore.

The Walchmen brake forth and did muche hurt by spoy∣ling* 1.40 of the Marches. The Archbishop of Canturburie callyng togither an army hasted thyther, besieged the Castel of Polie, and toke it, and chased the enimies, established peace, and re∣turned.

Rise the Walch king departed this life.

King Richard and the Earle of Flaunders confedered to∣gither.* 1.41 The French King entring vnwarely into Flaunders, was intercepted and taken by the Earle of Flaunders, but gi∣uing pledges vpon couenaunt to make peace, he was suffe∣red to depart. The viij. day of September they met at Liste, where by mediation of the Archbishop of Canturburie, they toke a truce. The Archbishop of Roane returned from Rome, where he had complayned on King Richard, for taking from him a plot of ground, whereon he builded a strong Castell, but at the request of the Archbishop of Canturburie, the Kyng gaue him in recompence the towne of Deep.

The Walchmen on the Marches toke booties, & did much* 1.42 hurt, but Hubert the Archbishop of Canturburie being Lorde thiefe Iustice, Lieuetenaunt, or Warden of England, found meanes to resist them, so that they being fought with, were ouerthrowen, and fiue thousand of them slaine. The Arche∣bishop hauing got this victorie returneth to London, where calling togither a great number of the Nobles of the lande, he resigned his office of being head ruler, in whose place the* 1.43 Lord Geffrey Fitz Peter succéeded in August.

King Richard toke of euery Carucata, plough land, or hid of land through England fiue shillings. The French king was intercepted by the army of King Richard, so that with much adoe, he escaped into Cipres, his army was dispersed, and al∣most an hundred Knightes taken, beside other common sol∣diours, without number. The Charters which the king had* 1.44 before made with his new seale were chaunged.

Hubert Archebishop of Canturbnrie, through the procure∣ment

of the Monks of Canturburie and by the cōmandement of the Pope, brake downe euen with the ground the Chapel* 1.45 or Colledge at Lambeth which his predecessors had founded, and he had finished in the honor of Thomas Archbishoppe of Canturburie.

King Richard tourned his armye against the Barons of* 1.46 Poictow that rebelled against him, he set their Cities & towns on fire, spoyled their Countrey, & flew many of his aduersa∣ries cruelly, at the laste came to the Dukedome of Aquitaine and besieged the Castel of Chalne, and brought it to that, that they within offered to yéeld vpon conditions, but he woulde not so receiue them, but would haue them by force: whervp∣vn a certain yong man named Bertram de Gordon, standing on y^e Castel wall, leuelled a quarell out of a crosse bowe and smote him with a venomed Darte, which stripe the king lit∣tle regarded, but inuading the castel wan it, and put the sol∣diours in prison. Of this wounde aforesayde, he dyed the sixth day of Aprill, in the yeare of our Lord. 1199. When he had raigned ix. yeres and ix. monthes, and was buried at Fonteuerard at his fathers féete, whom he confessed he had betray∣ed, his heart was buried at Roane, and his bowels at the fore∣sayde Chalne.
