THE PREFACE TO THE CATALOGVE Of the KINGS of ENGLAND.

THe Realme of England is th••t Southerne and more flouri∣shing part of the Isle of Bri∣taine: that which was civi∣••ized by the Romans, and made a Province of their Empire; when as the Northe••ne parts thereof, were ••ither neglected or not conquered. When it was under the command of the Roma•• Em∣perours, it wanted not its proper and pecu∣liar Kings, over the chiefest and most prin∣cipall

of their Tribes and Nations: it being the custome of that Empire, as▪ Tacitus hath truely noted, habere servitutis instrumenta etiam Reges. Of these inferiour tributary Kings, those which were in their severall times of more power then others, may pro∣bably be thought to have assum'd unto them∣selves the stile and title of Kings of the Bri∣tons: even as in after times, during the hep∣tarchy of the Saxons, those which gave law unto the rest, did call themselves, and were accounted the Kings or Monarchs of the English. But those inferiour petite Kings, be∣ing, in tract of time worne out, and almost all the South reduced under the immediate command of the Roman Empire: either the Emperours themselves, or such of their Lieu∣tenants as did here usurpe the regall state, were stiled Kings of Britaine, till Constantine the Great united it inseparably to the Roman Diadem: And in him ended the first line of the Kings of Britaine, according to the Bri∣tish story.

The second line of Kings, beares da••e from the departure of the Romans: who be∣ing called from hence to looke unto their Empire in the Continent, le••t their possessions here unto the ••ury of the Scots and Picts, who dwelling in the Northerne and uncon∣quered parts▪ attempted to subdue the Sou∣therne. For the repressing of whose rage the Britons chose themselves a King out of Armo••ica, (now called Bretag••e) being ex∣tracted

from the old British bloud, which had not long before beene planted in that Region, by the Roman Emperours. Whose li4e continued here not long, till they were dispossessed both of Crowne and Countrey, by the Saxons, a German people, called in by Vortiger to oppose the Scots and other Nations of the North. Who having by degrees subdued all that which formerly had beene conquered by the Romans (the Countrey beyond Severne excepted onely) divided it amongst themselves into seven Kingdomes; which finally being all brought under by the West-Saxon Kings, did at last settle, and con∣tinues in the name of England. A King∣dome, though of small extent, compared un∣to the greater Countries of France, Spaine▪ and Germany, yet of so high esteeme abroad▪ that it may challenge an equality with either of them, and in some kinde hath had prece∣d••ncie before them.

For to the honour of this Realme, as well before as since it had the name of England, we may say thus much. It was the first King∣dome which received the faith of Christ, which was here planted, as it is affirmed by Gildas upon certaine knowledge, toward the latter end of Tiberius Empire. Tempore ut scimus summo, Tiberii Cae••aris, as his owne words are: which by computing of the times, will fall to be five yeares before Saint Peter came to Rome; and but five yeares after the death of our Redeemer. It shewed unto the world

the first Christia•• King, whose name was Lucius: and gave unto the Church her first Christian Emperour, even the famous Con∣stantine here borne; by whose example and incouragement the saith was generally recei∣ved over all the Empire, and all the Tem∣ples of the Idols, either demolished or for∣saken. It also was the first Christian King∣dome, out of which the Jewes, those bitter and most obstinate enemies of the Crosse of Christ, were universally expulsed; and our of which the insolent and usurped Suprema∣cie of the Popes of Rome, was first ejected, after they had a long time domineered in the Church of Christ. The one of these perfor∣med by King Edward the first; the other by King Henry the eighth. Not to say any thing in this place of their warres and victories in France, Spaine, Scotland, the Netherlands, the Isle of Cyprus and the Holy land.

In these regards, the Kings of England, as they are a•• absolute, so they are as sacred, as of any Countrey whatsoever What ever things are proper unto Supreme Majesty, Scepters, and Crownes, ••he Purple Ro••e, the Glo••e, or golden Ball and Vnction, have beene as long theirs, as any others. The foure first are by Leland, a ••••••ous Antiqua∣rie, ascribed unto King A••thur, who did begin his reigne Anno 506. which was as soon•• as they were ordinarily in use with the Roman Emperours. And thi•• doth Leland justifie, out of an ancient Seale of the said

King Arthurs kept in his time, as an especiall monument in the Abbie of Westminster: As for their Vnction, or Annointing, it appeares by the old Roman Pr••vinciall, and the an∣cient practise, that of all the Kings of Chri∣stendome, there were none anciently annoin∣ted but the two Emperours of the East and West; the Kings of France, England, Si∣cilie, and Hier••salem. By reason of which Vnction or annointing (besides what is uni∣ted or annexed to the Crowne Imp••riall of this Realme) it was declared Term. Hilarii. 33. Edward 3. that the Kings of England were capaces jurisdictionis spiritualis, ca∣pable of Spirituall or Ecclesiasticall juris∣diction. As after in the reigne of King Henry the eighth, it was declared rather then en∣acted, that the Kings highnesse was the Su∣preme head of the Church of England, and that he had authority to reforme all errours, heresies, and abuses in the same. 26. Henry 8. cap. 1. Which title or Supreme head, though used by King Edward 6. in a••l his ••eigne, and by Queene Mary for awhile; was changed by Queene Elizabeth into that of Supreme Governour: and it is now reckoned as a part of the stile of the Kings of England, that they are Supreme Governo••rs in all their Dominions and Countries, over all persons, in all causes, as well Ecclesiasticall as Tem∣porall.

Now as the Kings of England are abso∣lute at home; so are they no lesse honoured

and esteemed abroad: the Emperour being accounted filius major Ecclesiae, the eldest sonne of the Church; the King of France, filius minor, or the second sonne; and the King of England, filius tertius & adop••ivus, the third and the adopted sonne. In gene∣rall Councels, the King of France took place at the Emperours right hand; the King of England on his left, and the King of Scots having precedencie next before Castile. And whereas since the time of Charles the fifth, the Kings of Spaine have challenged the prece∣dencie of all Christian Princes: yet in the time of King Henry 7. Pope Iulius gave it to the English before the Spaniard. Nay lest the Kings of England might fall short in any thing wherein their neighbour Princes glory, they also have an adjunct or peculiar title annexed unto the stile Imperiall. For where the King of France is stiled Christianissimus, most Christian; and the King of Spaine, Catho∣li••us, or the Catholick King: the King of England hath the title of Defensor fidei, o•• the defender of the Faith. A title not so much conferred on King Henry 8. by the Popes of Rome, as confirmed unto him. For in a Char∣ter of King Richard 2. unto the University of Oxford, the same stile occurres: for which and other proofes hereof consult the Epistle De∣dicatory before Doctor Craca••••horp against the Arch-Bishop of Spalato; and Sir Isa••c Wake, in his Rex Platonicus. But now we goe unto the Kings.

The Monarchs of the English-SAXONS.

THe Saxons, though they were divided into the seven Kingdomes before named, were for the most part subject unto one alone; who was entituled R••x Gentis Anglorum, or King of the English Nation: those which were stronger then the rest, giving the law unto them in their severall turnes, till in the end they all became incorporated into the Em∣pire of the West-Saxons.

Kings of WALES.

THe Britons being outed of their Countrey by the conquering Saxons, retired them∣selves beyond the Severn, and therein forti∣fied themselves; which Countrey thereupon came to bee called Wales, and the people Walsh, or Welch men. Not that the word Walsh, signified in the Saxon language, a Foreiner or Alien, as it is ••conceived (for how could they be called Aliens in their na∣tive Countrey?) but Wales, and Wallish, for Galles and Gallish, by changing G into W, according to the custome of the Saxons. The Britons being descended of the Gaules, kept their old name still; though somewhat alte∣red in the letter, as before is said: and to this day the French doe call the Prince of Wales, by the name of le Prince de Galles. At first their cheifes were honoured with the title of Kings of Wales, a••d are these that follow.

The Principality and Princes of South-Wales.

SOuth-Wa••es, in the division of the Coun∣trey amongst the sonnes of Roderick Mawr, ••ell unto Cadel the second sonne. It contai∣ned all that quantity and tract of ground, which now we call the Counties of Glamor∣gan, Pembroke, Carmarthen, Cardigan, and part of Brecknock: which being the richer and more fruitfull part of Wales, and lying most open to invasion, both by sea and land, was soonest brought under the command of the Kings of England. The principall seat of the Princes of it, was Dyn••sar, or Dynevor Ca∣stle, not farre from Carmarthen, who thence were called by their subjects, the Kings of Dynevor; and whilest they stood upon their owne legges, were these that follow.

The Principality and Princes of North-Wales.

NOrth-Wales in the division of the King∣dome of Wales, fell to the share of A∣marawd, the eldest sonne of Roderick Mawr, the last King thereof; with a superior••ty of power over both the rest, who were but ho∣magers to this. It contained in it all that ter∣ritory which now doth comprehend the Counties of Merioneth, De••bigh, Flint, Car∣na••von, and the Is••e of Anglesey, which being the more mountainous parts; and conse∣quently of more difficult accesse then the others were, as they did longest keepe their liberties, so doe they still preserve their lan∣guage from the incursions of the English▪ Abers••aw in the Isle of Anglesey was the Prin∣ces seate, who were hence sometimes called the Kings of Abersraw, and were these en∣suing.

The Kings and Princes of it, accor∣ding to the History of Wales.

IN the History of Wales, writ by Humphrey Lloyd, the Kings and Princes of Wales are reckoned differently from that succession of them before laied downe. The reason of which difference may be that he reciteth there the Predominant Princes, such as gave law unto the rest, whether of North-Wales, South-Wales, or of Powys-land: even as wee see was done before, in summing up the Mo∣narchs of the English Saxons, out of the se∣verall Kingdoms in that Heptarchie. Now for his Catalogue of the Welch, both Kings and Princes, he recites them thus.

After whose death, the King perceiving that the Welch had no affection to be ruled by strangers; sent for his Queene then great with child, to come unto him to Carnarvon, and hearing that

shee was delivered of a sonne, called the Welch Lords together, and proffered them a Prince to beare rule amongst them, of their owne nation, one who spake no word of English, and such a one whose life no man could tax. To such a Prince when they had all sworn to yeeld obedience, he named his new∣borne sonne unto them, and made him their Prince, since when the eldest sonnes of En∣gland have commonly beene created Princes of Wales.

The Princes of it, of the bloud Royall of England.

WALES thus brought under the obedi∣ence of the Kings of England, hath since beene commonly the honourary title and possession of their eldest sonnes. Not that they challenge it, as of due belonging to them; but take it from their Fathers as of speciall Grace, by solemne creation and in∣vesture, tenendum sibi & Haeredibus suis Re∣gibus Augliae, to hold to them and their heires Kings of England: our Kings not being wil∣ling to deprive themselves of such a power of gratifying and obliging their eldest sonnes, as they saw occasion. Edward 2. who had been summoned by his Father unto the Parliament by the name of Prince of Wales, and Earle of Chester: summoned his eldest sonne (King

Edward 3.) by no other name then Earle of Chester and Flint. Edward 3. first used the ceremony of creation, by letters Patents, and investiture, which hath since continued: and for the want of which, Edward 6. Queene Mary and Queen Elizabeth however in their severall turnes, they have beene called Prin∣ces and Princesses of Wales, were not truely such. Those which were so created, either by Parliamentary Writ or especiall Charter, are these that follow.

Princes and Lords of Powys-land.

POwys-land is the third part of Wales, but the least of all, containing onely the whole County of Montgomery, and part of Radnor, Brecknock, Denbigh, and Shropshire. The chiefe seate hereof was Matravall, in Mont∣gomery shire, from whence the Princes of it would be called the Kings of Matravall. It was bestowed by Roderick Mawr, in his divisi∣on of Wales, on Mervyn his youngest son▪ and did continue in his line a long time together: but much afflicted and dismembred by the Princes of Northwales, who cast a greedy eye upon it. The first Prince of it was called Mer∣vyn, but we have no good constat of his suc∣cessors: the last that held it all entire, was Me∣redith ap Blethin, who divided it betweene his two sonnes, Madoc, and Gryffith, of the which Madoc died at Winchester, Anno 1160. and Gryffith was by Henry the first of En∣gland created Lord Powys, the residue of Powys-land which pertained to Madoc, de∣pending still upon the fortune of North-Wales.

Kings and Lords of MAN.

THe Isle of MAN is situate so equally be∣tweene England and Ireland, that once it was a controversie unto the which it apper∣tained; but was in fine adjudged to England, in that some venemous wormes brought hi∣ther, did not furthwith die: which kinde of creatures the nature of the Irish soyle will by no meanes brooke. It was once subject unto the crowne and Kingdome of Northum∣berland, but from them taken by the Danes, Norwegians, and other people of the North, in their irruptions on these parts: who ha∣ving mastered it, ordained therein a Pe••it King of their owne Nation; who thus suc∣ceeded one another.

Magnus King of Man being de∣ceased without issue, Alexander third King of the Scots, partly by conquest, and par••ly by money paied to the Norwegi∣ans, brought this and all the rest of the We∣sterne Isles under his obedience. After this time, it was sometimes dependant on the Crowne of Scotland, and sometimes on En∣gland, according as their fortunes varied: till in the end, it was regained finally from the Scots, by William Montacute Earle of Sa∣lisbury (who was descended from the anci∣ent Kings of Man) and by him after sold to the Lord Scrope, on whose attainder it fell unto the Crowne of England, and changed Lords as followeth.

Lords and Kings.

THe Isle of Wight abutting on the coast of Hampshire, was taken from the English by William Fitz-Osborne, Earle of Hereford, in the time of William Duke of Normandy, and King of England: who thereupon became the first Lord therof. After whose death & the proscription of his sonne Roger, it fell unto the Crowne, and was by Henry the second bestowed upon the family of the Ryvers, Earles of Devon. On the extinction of which line, it fell againe unto the Crowne, in the time of King Edward the first; and in the same hath since continued: giving the ti∣tle onely of one King, and one Lord to two Potent subjects.
