* 1.1 THE TWO AND TVVENTIETH YEERE OF Her Reigne. Anno Dom. 1579.

* 1.2 IOhn Casimere, Sonne to Frederick the Third, Prince Elector Palatine, who the yeere be∣fore had brought a powerfull armie out of Germanie into the Low-Countries, with great charge to the States, and to Queene ELIZABETH, and at the latter end of the yeere without performing any thing, being drawne to Gaunt, by the tumult of the people who were in diuision, came into England in the moneth of Ianuary, in a sharpe Winter full of Snowes, to excuse himselfe, and lay the blame vpon the French King, and after hee had beene sumptuously receiued, and brought with a number of tor∣ches to the City of Londons Senate-house by the prime Nobility of the Court, he was intertayned with Barriers, Combats, Bankets, honoured with the order of Saint

George, and the Garter, which the Queene tyed about his legge with her owne hands, indued him with an annuall Pension, & being loaden with many honorable gifts, about the middest of February hee passed into the Low-Coun∣tries in one of the Queenes Ships, where hee found this mercenary Army dispersed. For the Germanes seeing A∣lexander Fernesa, Prince of Parma, established Gouernour of Flanders by the Spaniard, readie to thunder vpon them, and they wanting their pay, and being brought somewhat low, required money from him, that they might depart out of the Low-Countries. But he with an imperious fa∣shion, neuerthelesse, which carried a grace and grauity, re∣plyed, that he had spoke for them that they might depart, their liues saued: they were contented, so they might haue a sure passe: they make haste home, but not without the losse of reputation, but with greater detriment to the States. Queene ELIZABETH fayles them not for all that, but furnisheth them with great summes,* 1.3 vpon the old gage of the rich ornaments and vessels of the house of Bur∣gundie, which by Matthew, Duke of Austria, and them were deliuered to Dauison, who (being sent to appease the commotions in Gaunt, which had falne vpon the Church and Church-men) brought them into England.

During which time,* 1.4 Semier ceaseth not louingly to call vpon the marriage for the Duke of Aniou: and although shee excellently put him off for a long time, yet he brought her to this poynt, that Leicester being intirely against this Match, and others, had raysed a report, that hee had char∣med her, and made her in loue with the Duke with drinkes, and vnlawfull arts: hee, to the contrary, sues that Leicester may be degraded, and put out of the Queens fauour, telling that hee was married to the Earle of Essex his Widdow; whereat she was so moued, that she commanded him from the Court to Greene-wich Tower, and did purpose to haue put him into the Tower of London, which all his Enemies

much desired. But Sussex, who was his chiefe Emulator, and wholly bent to aduance this marriage, disswades her from it, being of a right noble minde, and in-bred genero∣sitie, was of opinion that it hath alwayes beene accounted honest and honourable, and that none ought to be troubled for lawfull marriage, notwithstanding he was glad, that it had made Leicester out of all hope to marry the Queene. Neuerthelesse, Leicester was herewith so prouoked, that he thought of nothing but of meanes how to be reuenged:* 1.5 and they were not wanting that would doe what he would haue them doe. Tewdor, one of the Queenes guard, is sub∣orned to kill Semier; which caused the Queene by a pub∣lique proclamation to forbid all persons to offend by word or deed, him, his companions or seruants. And there happened at the same time, shee going for her recreation in her Barge vpon the Riuer of Thames neere to Greene∣wich, and with her Semier, the Earle of Lincolne, and Sir Chr.* 1.6 Hatton, Vice Chamberlaine, that a young fellow from a-board a Ship-boat with a pistolet shot a water-man thorow the arme, that rowed in the Queenes Barge, who anon after, was taken and brought to the Gallowes, to ter∣rifie him: but when he had religiously affirmed not to haue done it maliciously, hee was let goe. Neither would the Queene beleeue, that he had beene suborned of purpose ei∣ther against her or Semier. So farre shee was from giuing place to suspition against her Subiects, that it was an vsuall saying with her;

That shee could beleeue nothing of her Subiects, that Pa∣rents would not beleeue of their Children.

* 1.7 Within a few dayes after, the Duke of Aniou himselfe came priuily into England, accompanied with two men onely, and went to the Queene to Greenewich, who like∣wise knew nothing of it, where they had priuate conferen∣ces

together, which is not lawfull to search after, (the se∣crets of Princes being an inextricable Labyrinth) and af∣terwards went away vnknowne, except to very few. But a month or two after, shee commanded Burghley the Trea∣surer, Sussex, Leicester, Hatton, and Walsingham, that after they had seriously weighed the dangers and commodities that might arise vpon this marriage, they should conferre with Semier vpon the Couenants of the marriage. There appeared some danger,* 1.8 lest the Duke of Aniou should at∣tempt any thing against the receiued Religion, or take pos∣session of the Kingdome, as the Popes gift, or render it vp into the hands of the Queene of Scots; and, Queene ELI∣ZABETH being dead, should marry her; or, his Brother dying, should returne into France, and place a Vice-Roy in England, which the English would neuer indure. Fur∣thermore, lest hee should inuolue the English in forreine warres, lest the Scots assuring themselues of their ancient alliance with France, should take better courage against the English, lest Spaine being of so great power, should oppose it. Lastly, lest the people, oppressed with taxations to maintaine his magnificence, should stirre vp sedition. The commodities may be seene;* 1.9 a firme confederation with the French might be established, the rebellions of Papists, if any should be, the more easily supprest, all the Queene of Scots hope, and of all that seeke her in marriage, and fauou∣ring her, are excluded. Spaine would be compelled to com∣pound the businesse of the Low-Countries, and confirme the League of Burgundie, and England at length should enioy a solid and comfortable securitie by the Queenes children so often times wished for.* 1.10 But if these marriages be neglected, it was to be feared that the French would be prouoked, the Scots alienated, the Duke of Aniou marry the Daughter of Spaine, with whom hee should haue in Dowry the Low-Country Prouinces, draw the King of Scotland to be of their party, procure him a Wife to bring

him riches, abolish the reformed Religion; and the Eng∣lish, when they should see no hope of Children by the Queene, would adore the Rising-Sunne. Whereat shee could not chuse but be much tormented in minde, and pine away to death.

As in these dayes very many English feared a change of Religion by the Duke of Aniou, so were the Scots afraid it would be with them by another French-man,* 1.11 Aimé, or Esme Stuart, Lord of Aubigny, who at the same time was come into Scotland to see the King his Cousin: for he was Sonne to Iohn Stuart, Brother to Matthew Stuart, Earle of Lenox, who was the Kings Grand-father, and tooke his denomination Aubigni,* 1.12 from a House situate in Ber∣ri, that is so called, which Charles the Seuenth, King of France, gaue in time past to Iohn Stuart, of the Family of Lenox, who was Constable of the Scottish Army in France; defeated the English at Baugency, afterwards slaine by them at the battel of Harrans; and euer since, that house hath des∣cended vpon the younger Sonnes. The King, embracing him with a singular good affection, gaue him rich demains, and admitted him into his most intimate consultations, established him Lord high Chamberlaine of Scotland,* 1.13 and Gouernour of Dunbriton, first created him Earle, and after∣wards Duke of Lenox, after hauing directly reuoked the Letters of honour, by which in his non-age he had created Robert, Bishop of Cathanesse, Earle of the same place, his Grand-fathers third Brother, and had giuen him in recom∣pence, the County of March. This flourishing fauour with the King,* 1.14 procured many to enuy him, who murmured because hee was deuoted to the Guizes, and the Romane Religion, and that hee was sent to subuert the true Religi∣on. This suspicion increased, in regard hee ioyned himselfe to Mortons aduersaries, and did intercede for the reuoking of Thomas Carr of Fernihurst, who was most, if any were, addicted to the Queene of Scots; Morton, whose power was

apparently falling, stroue in vaine (although it might seeme that he had excellently well deserued in defeating the Ha∣miltons, and taking the Castle of Hamilton, and Daffrane.) There were at that time,* 1.15 who stirred vp much hatred in the King against the Hamiltons, obiecting, and vrging their names as a thing of great terrour, so as out of a necessitie they were for their owne safetie compelled to defend the Castle again the King, but they were constrained to yeeld it vp,* 1.16 and by authoritie of Parliament proscribed for the murdering as well of Murrey, as Lenox, Regents, as a thing by them performed. Many of those fled together into Eng∣land,* 1.17 for whom Queene ELIZABETH diligently inter∣poseth by Erington, as well for honour, as in reason of Iu∣stice, that shee had obliged her faith in the yeere 1573. for the settling of peace, that they should not be called in que∣stion for those matters without her consent.

Shee also at the same time was vndertaking in another part of the World, Amurathes Cham, or the Sultaine of the Turkes, granted to William Harburne, an English-man, and to Mustapha Beg, Bassa to the TVRKE, that the Eng∣lish Merchants, euen as the French, Venecians, Pollanders, the King of the Germanes, and other neighbouring Nati∣tions, should trade freely thorow all his Empire: where∣upon they, by the Queenes authority, made a Company,* 1.18 which they call TVRKEY MERCHANTS, and since that time, they haue vsed a most gainefull Trade of Merchandize at Constantinople, Angoria, Chio, Petrazzo, Alexandria, Egypt, Cyprus, and other places in Asia, for Drugges, Spices, Cottons, Raw-Silke, Carpets, Indian-Dyes, Corinthian-Grapes, Sope, &c.

As for that execrable impiety of Hamont,* 1.19 brought forth at that time in Norwich, against GOD and his Christ, and as I hope, is extinct with his ashes, or rather confounded in obliuion, then remembred. Neither am I of opinion of those which thinke, that the publique hath interest, that all

sorts of vices, poysons, and impieties to be made manifest: seeing that hee differs little from teaching, which shewes such things.

* 1.20 This yeere was the last of Nicholas▪ Bacon, Keeper of the Great Seale of England, who by decree of Parliament en∣ioyed vnder this name the honour and dignitie of Chan∣cellor of England; a very fat man, of a quicke subtill spirit, singular wisdome, height of eloquence, stedfast memory, and the other pillar of the sacred Councell: whose place Thomas Bromley enioyed,* 1.21 with the title of Chancellor of England.

Bacon is followed by Thomas Gresham, Citizen of Lon∣don,* 1.22 a Merchant-Royall, and of the order of Knight-hood, (Sonne to Sir Richard Gresham, Knight,) who built, for the ornament of his Countrey, and vse of the Mer∣chants of London, that beautifull and goodly Walking-place, which Queene ELIZABETH named,

The Royall-Exchange.

And the spacious Houses which hee had in the Citie, hee dedicated to the profession of Learning,* 1.23 and constituted in the same, Lectures of sacred Diuinitie, of the Ciuill Law, Physick, Astronomie, Geometrie, and Rhetoricke, with honest pensions.

* 1.24 In Mounster, a Prouince in Ireland, new rebellion was kindled by Iames Fitz-Morris, who hauing before cast him∣selfe vpon his knees at the feete of Perot, President of Mounster, and with teares, sighes, and humble supplicati∣ons, asked pardon, made a holy vow of fidelitie and obedi∣ence to the Queene. Hee (I say, who found no rest but in troubles) with-drew himselfe into France, promised the King, if hee would lend ayde, to ioyne the whole King∣dome of Ireland to the Scepter of France, and restore the Romish Religion. But wearied with delayes, and in the

end derided, from France he goes to Spaine, and promiseth the like to the Catholike King, who sent him to the Pope, of whom (by the sollicitation of Sanders, an English Priest, and Allan, an Irish Priest,* 1.25 both Doctors of Diuinitie) with much adoe, hauing got a little money, and Sanders the au∣thority of Legat, a consecrated Ensigne, and Letters com∣mendatorie to the King of Spaine, returnes to Spaine; and from thence, with those Diuines, three Ships, and a few Souldiers, they came, and arriued about the Calends of Iuly, at the [Village of Saint Marie] (which the Irish call, [Smerwick]) in Kerrie, a-pen-Insule in Ireland: and, after that the Priests had consecrated the place, raised a Fort, and brought the Ships neere vnto it; those Ships, Thomas Courtney, an English Gentleman, made haste with a Ship of warre which lay in a Road neere vnto them, by and by to assault; and taking them, carries them away, and barres the Spaniards from all benefit of the Sea. Iohn, and Iames, brethren to the Earl of Desmond, with great speed drew to∣gether a few Irish, ioyne with their Confederate: Fitz-Morris, and the Earle himselfe,* 1.26 who fauoured the cause ex∣ceedingly, feinedly calls all his friends together, as though he meant to goe against them; the Earle of Clanricard, with a selected troupe of Souldiers going against the Enemies and Rebels, met him, but he deceitfully sends him away.

The Deputie, hauing receiued certaine newes by Henry Dauile, a valiant English Gentleman, that the Enemy was landed, commanded the Earle of Desmond, and his Bre∣thren, ioyntly and forthwith to assayle the Fort: but when they had talked and considered vpon it, and found it full of perill, refused. Dauile departing, is followed by Iohn Desmond, who ouertooke him in an Inne at Tralli, a little Burrough, and hauing corrupted the Oast, in the dead of the night, he, with other Murtherers, brake into the cham∣ber, where Dauile, with Arthur Carter, (Lieutenant to the Marshall of Mounster, a very valiant old Souldier) slept

securely, but being awaked with the noyse, and beheld Iohn Desmond with his naked Sword in his Chamber, rai∣sing himselfe vp: What is the matter (sayes he) my sonne? (for so in familiarity hee was vsed to call him.) Now I am no more thy sonne, (saith he) nor thou my Father, thou shalt dye.* 1.27 And, at an instant, ranne him, and Carter that lay with him, many times thorow the Body; yea, after that Dauiles Foot-boy had throwne himselfe naked vpon his Master, to defend him as much as in him lay, and receiued many wounds. And shortly after, he killed all Dauiles ser∣uants, as he found them dispersed here and there; and re∣turning to the Spaniard, all rayed with Bloud, boasts of the slaughter, and said thus, [Let this be a pledge of my faith to you,* 1.28 and to this cause.] And Sanders this, [That hee extol∣led it as a sweete sacrifice before God.] Fitz-Morris reproued the manner of it, wishing it rather had beene done vpon the way, than in bed. The Earle, when hee heard of it, con∣demned it with all his heart, as detestable.

The Spaniards seeing themselues ioyned with a few Irish, and those vnarmed and miserable, contrary to what Fitz-Morris had promised, began to distrust, and to cry, they were lost, and to deplore their misfortune, not seeing any meanes to saue themselues either by Land or Sea. Fitz-Morris exhorts them to patience, and to wait: assures them, that great forces were comming to their succour: hee fei∣nedly tooke a iourney to [the holy Crosse of Triporarie] to pay the vow which hee had made in Spaine; but in truth it was, to draw together all the seditious of Connach and Vl∣ster.

As he trauelled, with a few horse, and twelue foot-men, through the grounds of William of Bourg his alliance, (who was with him at the League in the precedent Rebellion) his Horses fayling, tooke vp the work-horses that he found in his way: the Labourers crying out, assemble all the dwel∣lers thereabout to recouer them, amongst which, were the

sonnes of William of Bourg, young men, and couragious, who being mounted on horse-backe, pursued him so swift∣ly, that they ouertooke him. Fitz-Morris seeing Theobald of Bourg, and his Brethren, who were with him in the for∣mer Rebellion, speaking friendly, said; [Kinsmen, let not vs fall out for a Horse or two, for when you shall know the cause why I am come backe into Ireland, I am assured that you will ioyne with mee.] Theobald answers, [Both I, and my Father, and likewise our friends, doe greatly grieue for the first Rebellion, and haue sworne, and will performe our fidelitie to our most gracious Princesse, who pardoned vs, and gaue vs our liues; therefore, restore the Horses, or I will make thee restore them; and withall, threw a Dart at him,* 1.29 with a writhen Pike, and they fought a time. Theobald, and one of his bro∣thers, were slaine, and some of their men. Fitz-Morris was runne thorow the Body with a Pike, and shot thorow the head with a Pistoll; so hee dyed, and many of his men. They cut off his head, and hanged his quarters vpon poles ouer the Gates of Kilmalocke, where, (as wee haue said be∣fore) in the Church, in the presence of Perot, hee bound himselfe with great obtestations to be loyall to his Prince. The Queen writes consolatory Letters to William of Bourg,* 1.30 (full of loue and sorrow) for the losse of his sonnes, creates him Baron of Castell-Conell, and rewards him with an an∣nuall pension. Whereupon, the old man (confounded with so vnexpected ioy) dyed shortly after.

Drury, Lord Deputie, was now come almost to Kilma∣lock, and sends for Desmond, who came before him, promi∣seth faith and obedience to the Queene, and bound him∣selfe by oath, that he and his would warre against the Re∣bels. Whereupon, he is dismissed, to collect his men, and returne to the Deputie. Iohn Desmond, the Earles Bro∣ther, who was substituted in Fitz-Morris his place,* 1.31 by trea∣chery intercepts and kills Herbert and Prisie, Englishmen, with the Companies which they led, and he was wounded

in the face. This losse was supplied with sixe hundred Souldiers out of Deuonshire: Perot is sent out of England with sixe Ships of warre, to defend the mouth of the Har∣bour.

* 1.32 At which time, the Deputie being vehemently sicke, and growing daily worse & worse, must of necessity go to Wa∣terford to recouer his health, and left his place to Nicholas Malbey, President of Connach, and Gouernour of Moun∣ster, an old and a renowned Souldier.

Returning, the Wife of Desmond offers her onely Sonne and Heire in hostage for the Father. For, after he depar∣ted from Kilmalock,* 1.33 he appeared not, although Malbey of∣ten-times, by Letters, admonished him of his duety and promise, and not willing to delay, remoues towards the Re∣bels in Conil, a wooddy and boggy Country: where Iohn Desmond put his men in array, and displayes the Popes consecrated Banner; he intertaines it, and signes giuen, they ioyne,* 1.34 where both sides fought furiously; Fortune at length yeelding to the vertue of the English, Iohn was the first that fled, and left his men to the slaughter; amongst whom, Allan the Diuine is found, who incouraged them to the battle, by promising the victory.

The Earle of Desmond, who was a spectator from some Hill neere to that place, the same night writ dissemblingly Letters congratulatory to Malbey, and, vnder a colour of friendship, warnes him to remoue his Campe from thence. Malbey sends backe the Messenger, with Let∣ters, commanding the Earle to come to him, and ioyne his forces, whom when in vaine he had expected foure dayes, hee remoued to Rekel, a little Towne of the Earle of Des∣monds.* 1.35 Now the Earle, who had so long both in counte∣nance and words egregiously maintained his dissimulation, leaues to be the same man, and plainely puts on a Rebels minde, and the same night, it being darke, the Rebels in∣uaded Malbey's Campe, which they found so fortified, that

they returned backe, as from a thing infected. The Go∣uernour, thinking this to be a fit place to disioyne the Re∣bels forces, put a Garrison there, and from thence mar∣ched to Asketon, a Castle of the Earles, standing vpon a Hill, inuironed with the Riuer Asketon, which was garded by Souldiers. But, before he would lay siege to it, he writ againe to the Earle, representing vnto him the Queenes mercy, the ancient dignitie of the House of Desmond, the glory of his Ancestors, & the infamy that he should leaue to his posterity, exhorts him, not to be tainted with the name of Rebell, but returne to his duetie. He, to the contrary, armes his minde with obstinacy, and his Castle, on all sides, with Spanish and Irish. At what time, Drury, the Deputy,* 1.36 dyed at Waterford; a man of approued worth, who from his youth had beene trayned vp in the exercise of Warre in France, Scotland, and Ireland.

Together with the death of the Deputie, dyed Mal∣bey's authoritie in Mounster, who, when he had put his men in Garrison, went to Connach, the Prouince of his gouerne∣ment.* 1.37 The Rebels take heart by the death of the Depu∣tie, and deliberate how they might vtterly draw them∣selues from vnder the English command, and are of opini∣on to blocke vp the Garrisons on all sides, and starue them by famine. Iames Desmond then besiegeth Adare, where W. Stanley, and G. Carew, were in Garrison. But the be∣sieged, apprehending famine as the extremitie of all euils, so wearied the besiegers with often eruptions, that they rai∣sed the siege, and gaue them libertie to forrage the Coun∣trey neere about them: which they did lustily and valiant∣ly; Iames himselfe was wounded there.

In the interim, the Councell of England chose for chiefe Iustice of Ireland, William Pelham,* 1.38 with the authoritie of Lord Deputie, vntill they had chose one; and the Earle of Ormond, President of Mounster, who sent the Earle of Desmonds sonne to Dublin, there to be kept for hostage.

Pelham goes towards Mounster, sends for Desmond; but hee excuseth himselfe by Letters sent by his Wife. For that cause,* 1.39 Ormond is sent, who warnes him to send San∣ders the Diuine, the Souldiers that were strangers, and to deliuer vp into his hands, the Castles of Carigo-foyle, and Asketen, to submit himselfe absolutely, and turne his forces against his Brethren, and the other Rebels, assu∣ring him grace if hee did it; if not, to be declared a Trai∣tor, and an enemy of the Countrey: but by subterfuges and flyings off, hee dallies and playes with these things. In the beginning of Nouember, hee was proclaymed Traytor,* 1.40 and guiltie Laesae Maiestatis, because hee had dealt with forraine Princes for the subduing and ouer∣throwing of the Countrie, and intertained Sanders and Fitz-Morris, Rebels; cherished the Spaniards which were driuen from the Fort, caused faithfull Subiects to be han∣ged, displayed against the Queene the Ensigne of the Pope, and brought strangers into the Kingdome. This declara∣tion being published, the Lord chiefe Iustice gaue Com∣mission to Ormond to goe on with the warres. Desmond, turning his designes into another part of the Countrey of Mounster, and sacketh Yoghall, surprizeth without re∣sistance,* 1.41 a Sea-Towne, and strong enough. Ormond wastes all farre and wide about Conile, the onely refuge of the Rebels, brings away their Flockes, and giues them in prey to the Souldiers, hanged the Maior of Yoghall before his owne doore, for refusing to receiue the English Garri∣son, fortified the Towne, and after, prepares himselfe to besiege the Spaniards in Strangicall. But they before∣hand with-drew themselues from that danger. Neuerthe∣lesse, the English pursued them, and left not one of them aliue,* 1.42 and molested the Rebels in all parts of Mounster. Desmond, and his Brethren, although they lay hid, writ long Letters to the Lord chiefe Iustice, that they had vn∣dertaken the protection of the Catholique faith in Ireland,

by the Popes authoritie, and the aduice of the King of Spaine; therefore they courteously warne him, that in so pious and meritorious a cause, he would ioyne with them, for the saluation of his owne soule.
