king of Spaine standes bounden yet at this day This is not al the verie kingdome of Castile may lawfullie be called in question for the king of France as being the true successour of Saint Lewes and herein can bee no prescription alledged For it is neuer admitted in matters concerning kingdomes and things purchased by fraudulent dealing His Maiesties right is this Henrie the first of the name king of Castile and Toledo sonne to Alphonso the 4. of Castile and to Leonora daughter to Henrie the second king of England and to that Leonora whome Lewes the young king of France put away and dying without issue by the fall of a tilestone vpon his heade left his sisters the elder called Blanch mother of S. Lewes the second Berenguere wife of the king Don Alfonso of Leon and the third Leonora wife to the king of ragon Nowe when the saide Berenguere by ordinanuce of Pope Jnnocent the thirde of that name had bene seperated from the King of Leon her husbande for that they were neere in Consanguinitie together shee retyred her selfe after that tovvardes Henrie her brother with her sonne Ferdinando which shee had by the King of Leon and hauing gotten infinite fauourites in the court of Castile seeing the King Saint Lewes farre distant from her and much busied in other warres shee handled her matters so cunningly to the preiudice of this S. Lewes she caused her son Ferdinando to bee elected King of Castile and Toledo vppon the confideÌ„t hope which she gaue the Castilians that in the person of her son should the kingdom of Leon be reunited to that of Castile that they shuld auoid by this mean the domination of a French Prince being but a stranger amongst them S.
