The church-history of Britain from the birth of Jesus Christ until the year M.DC.XLVIII endeavoured by Thomas Fuller.

Yorks Title.

1. When Gregory the great made York and Canterbury Archiepis∣copal Sees, he affixed precedency to neither, but that the Arch-Bishops should take place according to the seniority of their consecrations. Until Lanckfranck, Chaplain to King Wil∣liam (thinking good reason he should conquer the whole Clergie of England, as his Master had van∣quished the Nation) usurped the su∣periority above the See of York.

2. If Antiquity be to be respe∣cted, long before Gregories time, York was the See of an Arch-Bishop, whilest as yet Pagan Canterbury was never dream'd of for that purpose.

Lucius the first Christian Brittain King, founding a Cathedral therein, and placing Sumson in the same, who had Taurinus, Pyrannus, Tacliacus, &c. his successors in that place.

3. If the extent of jurisdiction be measured, York, though the les∣ser in England, is the larger in Bri∣tain, as which at this time had the entire Kingdom of Scotland subject thereunto; Besides, if the three Bishopricks, (viz. Worcester, Lich∣field, Lincoln) formerly injuriously taken from York, were restored un∣to it, it would vie English Latitude with Canterbury it self.

This controversie lasted for may years, it was first visibly begun (passing by former private grudges) betwixt Lanckfrank of Canterbury, and Thomas of York, in the Reign of the Conqueror, continued betwixt William of Canterbury, and Thurstan of York, in the dayes of King Henry the first; increased betwixt Theo∣bald of Canterbury, and William of York, at the Coronation of Henry the second, and now revived betwixt Richard of Canterbury, and Roger of York, with more then ordinary animosity.

4. Some will wonder that such spiritual persons should be so spiteful, that they, who should rather have contended de pascendis ovibus, which of them should better feed their flocks, should fall out de lana caprina, about a toy and trifle, onely for Priority. Yet such will cease to wonder, when they consider how much carnality there was in the Disciples themselves: Witness their unseaso∣nable contest, just before our Saviours death, quis esset major, which of them should be the greater, when then the question should rather have been, quis esset maestior, not who should be the highest, but who should be the heaviest for their departing Master.

5. Here the Pope interposed, and to end old Divisions, made a new di∣stinction, Primate of all ENGLAND, and Primate of ENGLAND, giving the former to Canterbury, the latter to York. Thus when two Children cry for the same apple, the indulgent father divides it betwixt them, yet so, that he giveth the bigger and better part to the Childe that is his Darling. York is fain to be con∣tent therewith, though full ill against his will, as sensible that a secondary Pri∣macy is no Primacy; and as one stomaching a Superiour as much as Canterbury disdained an Equal. Yea, on every little occasion this controversie brake out again. The last flash which I finde of this flame, was in the Reiga of King Edward the first, when William Wickham, Arch-Bishop of York, at a Councel at Lambeth for Reformation, would needs have his Cross carried before him, which John Peckam, Arch-Bishop of Canterbury would in no case permit to be done in his Province. Wherefore the said Peckam inhibited all from selling b victuals to him or his family, so hoping to allay his stomach by raising his hun∣ger, and starve him into a speedy submission, which accordingly came to pass. Since York was rather quiet then contented, pleasing it self that as stout came be∣hinde as went before. But at this day the Clergie sensible of Gods hand upon them for their Pride and other offences, are resolved on more humility; and will let it alone to the Layetie to fall out about Precedency.

6. To return to King Henry, never did the branches of the English Mo∣narchy sprout higher, or spread broader before or since, as in the Reign of this King, so large and united his command, though in several capacities; For by right of inheritance from his Mother Maud, he held England and the Duke∣dom

of Normandy, by the same title from his Father, Geffery Plantagenet; he possessed fair lands in Anjou and Maine; by Match in right of Queen Elranor his Wife he enjoyed the Dukedoms of Aquitane and Guien even to the Pyrenean Mountains; by Conquest he lately had subdued Ireland, leaving it to his succes∣sors annexed to the English Dominions; and for a time was the effectual King of Scotland, whilest keeping William their King a Prisoner, and acting at plea∣sure in the Southern parts thereof. The rest of Christendom he may be said to have held by way of Arbritration, as Christiani orbis arbiter, so deservedly did Foreign Princes esteem his wisdom and integrity, that in all difficult controversies he was made Vmpire betwixt them.

7. Yet all this his greatness could neither preserve him from death, nor make him, when living, happy in his own house, so that when freest from Foreign foes, he was most molested in his own Family, his Wife and Sons at last siding with the King of France against him, the sorrow whereat was con∣ceived to send him the sooner to his grave. I meet with this Distick as parcel of his Epitaph,

Cui satis ad votum non essent omnia terrae Climata, terra modo sufficit octo pedum.

He whom alive the world would scarce suffice, When dead, in eight foot earth contented lies.

He died at Chinon in Normandy, and was buried with very great solemnity, in the Nunnery of Font-Everard in the same Countrey. A Religious House of his own Foundation and Endowment.

8. It is confidentlya reported, that when Richard, Son and Successor to King Henry, approached his Fathers dead Corps, they bled afresh at the Nostrils; whence some collected him the cause of his death. But whilest na∣tures Night-councellors (treading in the dark causes of hidden qualities) render the reason of the salleying forth of the bloud on such occasions, let the learn∣ed in the Laws decide how far such an accident may be improved for a legal evidence. For surely that Judg is no better then a Murderer, who condem∣neth one for Murder on that proof alone. However on the bleeding of the Fathers Nostrils, the Sons heart could not but bleed, as meeting there with a guilty Conscience. And therefore (according to the Divinity and Devotion of those dayes) to expiate his disobedience, he undertook with Philip Augustus, King of France, a long Voyage against Sultan Saladine, to recover CHRIST his grave, and the City of Jerusalem, from the Turks in Palestine.

9. Having formerly written an whole Book of the Holy War, and par∣ticularly of King Richards atchievements therein, I intend here no repetition; Onely our design is to give a Catalogue of some of our English Nobility, who adventured their persons in the Holy War; and whose Male-Posterity is eminently extant at this day. I have known an excellent Musician, whom no Arguments could perswade to play, until hearing a Bungler scrape in the company, he snatch'd the Instrument out of his hand (in indignation that Musick should be so much abused) then turned and played upon it himself. My project herein is, that giving in an imperfect list, of some few noble Families, who ingaged themselves in this service; It will so offend some emi∣nent Artist (hitherto silent in this kinde) that out of disdain he will put him∣self upon so honourable a work, deserving a Gentleman who hath Lands, Learning and leisure to undertake so costly, intricate and large a subject for the honor of our Nation. And be it premised, that to prevent all cavils about precedency, first come, first serv'd; I shall Marshal them in no other method, but as in my studies I have met with the mention of them.

10. To begin with the place of my present habitation; one Hugh Ne∣vil attended King Richard into the Holy War, and anciently lieth buried in a Marble Monument, in the Church of Waltham Abbey in Essex, whereof no remainders at this day. This Hugh Nevil being one of the Kings special sa∣miliars, slew a Lion in the Holy Land, first driving an arrow into his Breast, and then running him through with his sword, on whom this Verse was made,

a Viribus Hugonis vires periêre Leonis

• The strength of Hugh
• A Lion slew.

If Benaiah the son of Jehoiadah, was recounted the fifth amongst Davids wor∣thies, forb killing a Lion in the middest of a pit in the time of snow, surely on the same reason, this bold and brave Baron Hugh, ought to be entred into the Catalogue of the Heroes of his Soveraign. But I cannot give credit toc his report, who conceiveth that the Atchievement of the man was tran∣slated to his Master; And that on this occasion King Richard the first got the name of Cordelion, or Lions Heart.

11. This Hugh Nevil gave the Manor ofd Thorndon to Waltham Abby, and was Ancester of the Noble and numerous Family of the Nevils; to which none in England equal, for Honor, Wealth and number, in the later end of King Henry the sixth, though at this day the Lord Abergavenny be the only Baron thereof: He gave for his Armes a Cross Saltire, or the Cross of S^t Andrew, probably assuming it in the Holy War. For though I confess this is not the proper Cross of Hierusalem, yet was it highly esteemed of all those who adventured thither, as may appear, in that all Knights-Templers make such Saltire Cross, with their Thwarted Leggs upon their Monuments.

12. Giralde de Talbote succeeds in the second place; When Articles were drawn up between our King Richard, in his passage to Palestine, and Tancred King of Sicily, for the mutual observation of many Conditions be∣twixt them. He put in upon their Oaths, for his Sureties, a Grand-Jury of his principal Subjects then present, viz. two Arch-Bishops, two Bishops, and twenty other of his Prime Nobility expressed in his Letterse Patents; Be∣sides many other whose names were concealed. Of these twenty, the aforesaid Girald de Talbote is the first; whose Male Issue and Name is ex∣tant at this day, flourishing in the Right Honourable Family of the Earls of Shrewsbury.

13. Next amongst the Royal Jurors (as I may term them) was Guarrin Fitz-Girald, from whom are descended the Fitz Giralds in Ireland, (where their name is in some places Provincial) of whom the Earl of Kildare is chief. A memorial of their service in Palestine is preserved in their Armes, giving Argent a Cross Saltire Gules. Here it must be remembred, that the valiant sprightly Gentleman Hickman Lord Windsor is descended from the same f Male Ancestors with the Fitz Giralds (as Robert Glover a most exquisite He∣rald doth demonstrate) though according to the fashion of that age, altering his old, and assuming a new name from Windsor, the place of his office and Command. This Lord Windsor carrieth the Badg of his Service in his Arms, being essentially the same, with the Earl of Kildares, save that the colours are varied; the field Gules, and cross Saltire Argent, betwixt twelve Crosses cros∣sed, OR: Which Coat seemingly sursited was conceived in that age, the more healthful for the same; the more Crossed the more Blessed, being the Devo∣tion of those dayes.

14. Four other Gentlemen of quality remain mentioned in that Parent, William de Curcy, Father to John the valiant Champion and Conqueror of Ireland; Robert de Novo Burgo; Hugh le Brain, and Amaury de Mountford;

of all whom formerly in our Alphabetical Comment on Abby Roll.

15. At the siege of Acres or Ptolemais (the Grave General of the Chri∣stian Army) amongst many Worthies dying there within the compass of one year; I findea Ingelram de Fiennes to be slain, from whom the Lord Vis∣count Say and Seal, and the Lord Dacres of the South derive their discent. But most visible are the remains of the Holy War in the atchievement of Theo∣philus Finnes, alias Clinton, Earl of Lincoln, giving in the lower parts of his shield (in a field Argent) six Crosses crossed Fitchee Sable, denoting the stability and firmness of his Ancestors in that service.

16. Also at the aforesaid Siege of Acres, Radulphus de Alta ripa, Arch∣Deacon of Colchester ended his life. Now although because a Clergy-man, he could not then leave any lawful Issue behinde him. Yet we may be con∣fident that the Ancient Family De Alta ripa or Dautry, still continuing in b Sussex were of his Alliance.

17. Before we leave the Siege of Acres, let me refresh the Reader with my innocent (and give me leave to say provable) mistake. I conceived the Noble Family of the Lord Dacres took their Sir-name from some service there performed, confirmed in my conjecture. 1. Because the name is writ∣ten with a Local Tinesis, D'Acres. 2. Joan Daughter to Edward the first, King of England, is called D'Acres, because Born there. 3. They gave their Armes Gules three Scollops-shels Argent; Which Scollop-shels (I mean the ne∣thermost of them, because most concave and capacious) smooth within, and artificially plated without, was of times Cup and Dish to the Pilgrims in Pale∣stine; and thereupon their Armes often charged therewith. Since suddenly all is vanished, when I foundc Dacor, a Rivolet in Cumberland, so ancient, that it is mentioned by Bede himself, long before the Holy War was once dreamed of, which gave the name to Dacres Castle, as that (their prime seat) to that Family.

18. Before we go further, be it here observed, that when King Richard the first went into Palestine, he took up for his Device in his Ensign, a Cressant and a Star, but on what account men variously conjecture. Some conceive it done in affront to the Sultan Saladine, the Turk giving the Half Moon for his Armies; But this seems unlikely, both because a Cressant is not the posture of the Turkish Moon, and because this was a preposterous method with a vali∣ant man at his bare setting forth, who would rather first win, before wear the Armes of his Enemies; Others make a modest, yea Religious meaning there∣of, interpreting himself and his souldiers by the Cressant and Star, expecting to be inlightened from above, by the beams of succe••s from the Sun of Divine Providence. Indeed it would trouble a wise man (but that a wise man will not be troubled therewith) to give a reason of King Richards fancy; it being almost as easie for him to foretel ours, as for us infallibly to interpret his de∣sign herein. However we may observe many of the principal persons which attended the King in this War, had their Shields be-Cressanted and be-Starred, in relation to this the Royal Device.

19. Thus Michael Minshul of Minshul in Cheshire, serving King Richard in this war, had not onely the Cressant and Star given him for his Armes, but since also that Family hath born for their Crest, two Lions paws holding a Cressant. And I have seen a Patentd lately, granted by the Lord Marshal, to a Knighte deriving himself from a younger branch of that Family, assigning him for distinction, to change his Crest into the Sultan kneeling and holding a Cressant.

20. And thus the Noble Family of Saint-John, (whereof the Earl of Bullingbrock, &c.) give for their Paternal Coat Argent two Stars Or on a Chief Gules. These Stars first give us a dim light to discover their Service in the Holy Land, who since are beholding for perfecter information, to one now scarce counted a Rimer, formerly admitted for a Poet, acquainting us with this, and another Noble Family adventuring in the Holy War, namely, the Sack∣viles, still flourishing in the Right Honourable the Earl of Dorcet.

a King Richard wyth gud entent To yat cite ofb Jafes went On morn he sent aftur Sir Robart Sakebile Sir William Wateruile Sir Hubart and Sir Robart of Turnham Sir Bertram Brandes and John de S^t John.

Yet the Armes or Crest of the Sackviles give us not the least intimation of the Holy War. And indeed no rational man can expect an universal confor∣mity in so much variety of fancies, that all the Armes of the adventurers thi∣ther, should speake the same Language, or make some sign of their service therein.

21. I findec S^r Frederick Tilney Knighted at Acres in the Holy Land, in the third year of King Richard the first; he was a man Magnaestaturae & po∣tens corpore; Sixteen Knights in a direct line of that name succeeded in that Inheritance: Whose heir general was married to the Duke of Norfolk, whilest a male branch (if not, which I fear, very lately extinct) flourished since at Shelleigh in Suffolke.

22. When I look upon the ancient Armes of the Noble Family of the Villiers, wherein there is Pilgrim on Pilgrim, I mean five Scallops O R, on the Cross of S^t george; I presently concluded, one of that Family attended King Richard in the Holy Land: But on better enquiry, I finde that this Family at their first coming into England, bare Sable three Cinquefoyles Argent; and that S^r Nicholas de Villiers Knight, changed thisd Coat in the Reign, not of Ri∣chard, but Edward the first, whom he valiantly followed in his Wars in the Holy Land, and elsewhere.

23. I will conclude with the Noble Family of Berkely, then which none of England now eminently existing, was more redoubted in the Holy war. All know their disent from Harding (Son to the King of Denmark) whose Armes are said to be Gules Three Danish Axes O R, or as others suppose with more probability, I conceive onely a plain Cheveron, though some three hundred years since, they have filled their Coat with Ten Crosses Patte OR, in remembrance of the Atchievements of their Ancestors in that service. For I finde that Harding of England Landed ate Joppa, July the third, in the se∣cond year of King Baldwin, with a Band of stout Souldiers, where he relie∣ved the Christians besieged therein.

24. But I have been too tedious, intending onely a short Essay, and to be (let me call it) an honest Decoy, by entering on this subject, to draw others into the compleating thereof, during the whole extent of the Holy war. The best is, for the present we have had good leisure, these Martial times af∣fording but little Ecclesiastical matter. For at this present much of the En∣glish Church was in Palestine, where Baldwin, Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, ended his life before the Siege of Acres; and where Hubert Walter, Bishop of Sarisbury, was a most active Commander; besides many moe of the eminent Clergies ingaged in that service. Yet many did wish that one Clergy-man more had been there, (to keep him from doing mischief at home) namely, William Longcamp, Bishop of Elie, who plaied Rex in the Kings absence: so intolerable a Tyrant was he, by abusing the Royal Authority committed unto him. And it is a wonder, that he, being indeed a Norman born, but holding so many and great offices in this land, should not be able to speak one word of goodf English, as the English, as the English were not willing to speak one good word of him.

25. Such as draw up a parallel betwixt this William Longcampe, and Thomas Wolsey (afterward Arch-Bishop of York) finde them to meet in many conformities. First, in the lowness of their birth, the one the son of an Hus∣band-man,

the other of a Butcher. Secondly, in the greatness of their power, both being the Popes Legates, and their Kings principal Officers. Thirdly, height of their pride; Longcampe having fifteen hundred daylie atten∣dants: Wolsey, though but a thousand, equalizing that number with the nobi∣lity of his train. Fourthly, suddenness of their fall, and it is hard to say, which of the two lived more hated, or died less pittied.

26. Yet to give Wolsey his due, he far exceeded the other, Longcampe is accused of covetousness, promoting his base kindred, to the damage and detriment of others: no such thing charged on Wolsey. Longcampes activi∣ty moved in the narrow sphear of Englands Dominions; whilest Wolsey might be said (in some sort) to have held in his hand the scales of Christendome. Up Emperor, down France; and so alternately, as he was pleased to cast in his graines. Wolsey sate at the sterne more then twenty years, whilest Longcampe's impolitick pride outed him of his place, in less then a quarter of the time. Lastly, nothing remains of Longcampe, but the memory of his pride and pomp: whilest Christ-Church in Oxford, and other stately edifices, are the lasting monuments of Wolseys magnificence, to all posterity.

27. But seeing it is just to settle mens memories, on their true bottom; Be it known, that one putteth in a good word in due season, in the excuse of Bi∣shop a Longcampe, haply not altogether so bad as the pens of Monks would per∣swade us. It inraged them against him, because Hugh Nonant Bishop of Coventry and Liechfield, drave out Monks out of Coventry, and brought in Secular Priests in the room; which alteration he being not able of himself to effect, used the assistance of Longcampe Bishop of Elie; ordering the same in a Synod called at London. And seeing Monks have no medium betwixt not loving and bitter hating, no wonder if for this cause they paid him their Invectives. But we have done with him, and are glad of so fair a riddance of him, on this account, that most of his misdemeanors were by him committed, not quà Bishop, but quà Vice-roy, and so more properly belon̄ging to the civil Historian.

28. King Richard in his return from Palestine, was taken prisoner by Leopold Duke of Austria, and detained by him in durance, with hard and un∣Prince-like usage. Whilest the English Clergy endeavoured the utmost for his Enlargement. And at last when a fine certain was set upon him to be paid for his Ransome; they with much ado in two years time disbursed the same.

29. The summe was an hundred and fifty thousand and marks, to be paid, part to the Duke of Austria, part to Henry the sixth, Sir-named the sharpe, (Sure such our Richard found him) Emperor of Germany. Some will wonder that the weight of such a summe should then sway the back of the whole Kingdome, (putting many Churches to the sale of their silver Chalices) having seen in our age one City in few dayes advance a larger proportion; But let such con∣sider,

1. The money was never to return, not made over by Bils of Exchange, but sent over in specie, which made it arise the more heavily. For such summes may be said in some sort to be but lent, not lost (as to the Common-wealth) which are not exported, but spent therein in the circulation of Trading.

2. A third of silver went then more to make a marke then now adayes, witness their groats, worth our six pence in the intrinsick value.

3. Before trading to the East and West Indies, some hundred and fifty years since, very little the silver of England, in comparison to the Banks of Modern Merchants.

However Hubert, Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, with much diligence perfected the work, and on his ransom paid, King Richard returned into England.

30. Now lest his Majesty should suffer any diminution by his long late imprisonment; King Richard was Crowned again by Hubert Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, at Winchester, with great solemnity; and one may say that his durance was well bestowed on him, seeing after the same he was improved in all his relations.

Son. For though he could not revive his dead Father; yet on all occasions he expressed sorrow for his undutifulness.

Husband. Hereafter prising the company of Beringaria his Queen; Daughter to Sanctius King of Navarre, whom formerly he slighted and neglected.

Brother. Freely and fully pardoning the practises of his Brother John aspiring to the Crown in his absence; and being better to his base Brother Geffery, Arch-Bishop of York, then his tumultuous nature did deserve.

Man. Being more strict in ordering his own conversation.

King. In endeavouring the amendment of many things in the Land, in whose dayes a Councel was, kept at York, for Reformation, but little effected.

31. Hubert Walter, Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, had almost finished a fair Covent for Monks at Lambeth, begun by Baldwin his Predecessor. But in∣stantly the Monks of Canterbury are all up in anger against him they feared that in process of time Lambeth would prove Canterbury (viz. the Principal place of the Arch-Bishops residence) to the great impairing of their Priviledges; the vicinity of Lambeth to the Court encreased their jealousie: And now they ply the Pope with Petitions, and with what makes Petitions to take effect in the Court of Rome; never content till they had obtained (contrary to the Kings and Arch-Bishops desire) that the Covent at Lambeth was utterly demolished; many bemoaning the untimely end thereof, before it was ended, murdered, as one may say, by malitious emulation.

32. The death of King Richard is variously reported, but this relation generally received, that he lost his life on this sad occasion. A Viscount in France, subject to King Richard, having found a vast Treasure, (hid probably by some Prince, the Kings Predecessor) sent part thereof to King Richard, re∣serving the rest to himself; who could he have concealed all, had made no discovery, and had he sent all, had got no displeasure; whilest hoping by this middle-way to pleasure the King, and profit himself, he did neither. King Richard disdaines to take part for a gift where all was due; and blame him not, if having lately bled so much money, he desired to fill his empty veines again. The Viscount fled into Poictou, whither the King following, straightly besieged him.

33. The Castle being reduced to distress, a Souldier shoots a poysoned arrow, contrary to the Law of Armes, being a sharp arrow, from a strong bow, is poyson enough of it self, without any other addition. But those Laws of Armes, are onely mutually observed in orderly Armies (if such to be found) and such Laws outlawed by extremity; when the half-famished Souldier, rather for spight then hunger, will champ a bullet. The arrow hits King Richard in the eye, who died some dayes after on the anguish thereof, having first forgiven the souldier that wounded him.

34. By Will he made a tripartite division of his body, and our Author takes upon him to render a reason thereof. His Heart he bequeathed to Roan, because he had ever found that City hearty and cordial unto him: His Body to be buried at Fount-Everard, at his Fathers feet, in token of his sorrow and submision, that he desired to be as it were his Fathers Foot-flool: His

Bowels to be buried in the Parish Church, in the Province of Poictou, where he died (not for any Bowels of affection he bare unto them, but) because he would leave his filth and excrements to so base and treacherous a place. Others more charitably conceive them buried there, because conveniently not to be carried thence, whose corruption required speedy interment. Another Monk telleth us, that his Heart was grossitudinea Praestans, gross for the greatness thereof; which is contrary to the received opinion, that that part is the least in a vali∣ant man, and the heart of a Lion (this Richard we know was called Cure de Lion, or Lion-hearted) less then the heart of an Hare.

25. I finde two Epitaphs made upon him, the first, (better for the con∣ceit then the Poetry thereof) thus concludeth:

Sic locab per trina se sparsit tanta ruina, Nec fuit hoc funus cui sufficeret locus unsis.

Three places thus, are sharers of his fall, Too little, one, for such a Funeral.

The second may pass for a good piece of Poetry in that age;

Hic Richardec jaces, sed mors si cederet, armis Victa timore tui, cederet ipsa tuis.

Richard thou liest here, but were death afraid Of any armes, thy armes had death dismaid.

Dying issueless, the Crown after his death should have descended to Arthur, Duke of Britain, as son to Geffery, fourth son to Henry the second, in whose mi∣nority, John, fift Son to the said King, seized on the Crown, keeping his Nephew Arthur in prison till he died therein. Thus climing the Throne against conscience; no wonder if he sate thereon without comfort, as in the follow∣ing Century, God willing, shall appear.
