COVENTRY.
COventry is a faire and goodly City, within
the limits of Warw••ck shire, but now with∣in
the County of Warwi••k; heretofore cal∣led
so from the Convent, by which and the
translating of the See Epi••copal•• from Lich∣f••ild
hither, it grew exceeding rich and weal∣thy.
And though it now hath neither Con∣vent,
nor Episcopall See (more than in ruine
and in title) it still continues its old wealth;
being the best City of mart and trade in all
these parts; commodiously built and sea∣ted,
and more than ordinarily frequented
for an Inland Towne. It belonged once
unto the ••arles of Chester, and afterward by
many meane conveyances to Iohn of Eltham
Earle of Cornwall; and so this place became
annexed unto that Earldome. Nor lost it
any thing, but rather gained much by that
annexation: Henry the 6. laying unto it
certaine the adjacent Villages: and mak∣ing
it with them a County corporate, cleere∣ly
distinct from that of Warwick. It is now
one of the honourary titles of the Duke of
Buckingham, George Marquesse of Buckingham,
being created Duke of Bukingham, and Earle
of Coven••y, by letters patents bearing date in
May, 21 Iac. and for the remnant of his life
he, and since him, his son enjoyed both the
title of Dukes of Buckingham, and
Earles of Coventry.
