A60028	Don Carlos, or, An historical relation of the unfortunate life, and tragical death of that Prince of Spain son to Philip the IId written in French anno 1672 and newly Englished by H. I.; Dom Carlos	Saint-Réal, M. l'abbé de (César Vichard), 1639-1692.; H. J.	1674 (1674)	Wing S353; ESTC R9300	54,318	180

the Duke That he could never hope to find a fairer occasion of recovering the possession of his Estates from which his Father had been driven by Francis the First and the Duke on his side prevailed so far with Philip the Second that the Treaty was concluded a little while after at Chateau-Cambresis It is easie to judge of the grief of Don Carlos at the breaking of the Truce and how great his joy was when the Negotiation of a Peace was reassumed and yet this Peace which seemingly gave such seasonable grounds for his hopes was that which at last proved their utter destruction During the time of the Negotiation Philip the Second was made a Widower by the death of Mary Queen of England his Second Wife and being obliged by several weighty considerations to a Third Marriage he demanded for himself the Princess that had before been promised to his Son The French would doubtless much rather have given her to the Heir of the Crown who was much of the same age with her then to a Prince old enough to have been her Father and by whom she could have none but younger Children and by consequence incapable of inheriting the Crown but all things considered he could not handsomely be refused Though this news was like the stroak of a Thunder-bolt to poor Don Carlos who was told it at first before a great deal of company yet he was enough Master of himself to hinder any body from taking notice of the grief it caused in him but the violence he did himself cost him dear when he was alone All his thoughts were nothing but the continual inspirations of Love and Rage But the trouble he was in not permitting him to resolve upon nor the present state of his fortune to undertake any thing that might ease his mind his Despair was insensibly turned into Melancholly and from thence proceeded that reserved way of living which rendred him so odious to the King his Father who never once dreaming of the true cause of his discontent and judging of his Son by himself did attribute it to the impatience he thought this young Prince might have of Reigning As for Madam though what she felt in her self for Don Carlos was rather a disposition to love him then a true and well established passion yet the fear she had that there was something more in it then as yet she apprehended made her have an unspeakable distrust of her self Till then she had an extreme curiosity to know the effect her Picture had produced upon the Prince nay and she had desired sometimes that his heart if it were possible might in that respect enjoy less quiet then her own But as soon as she knew the change that was happened in their fortune she feared nothing in the world so much as to be lov'd by him What pleasure soever there be to be thought handsome she wish'd that what all people said of her charms had been false In this difference of thoughts her mind not having all the tranquillity necessary to bring her handsomely off in an Action so hard for a person in her circumstances as her first arrival at the Court of Spain was she stopp'd her journey as long as she could have the least appearance of an excuse and though the Duke D' Alva had marri'd her in his Masters name in the moneth of June she did not leave Paris till the end of November She staid to see all the fine Houses that were in her way and did not come into the Province of Aquitane till the year was ready to expire as if those delays could have done that in her heart that her own reason was not capable of doing When she was at the Pyrenaean Mountains Fortune that sometimes pleases her self in bestowing her favours upon those that least expect them helped her to one stop more then ever she had hoped for Anthony of Bourbon King of Navar was charged with the conduct of the Princess into Spain and he was to remit her upon the Frontier into the hands of the Cardinal of Burgos and the Duke De l' Infantado This King possessed onely the lower Navar because the Upper had been usurped from his Wives Great Grandfather by the Spaniards but yet not to prejudice the right he pretended to upon them both he would not acknowledge the place that at that time separated his Dominions from those of the King of Spain for the true Spanish Frontier but he required a declaration from the Deputies that the Delivery he should make of the Princess in that place should in no way hurt his pretensions The Declaration was of too great consequence to be accorded without express order and therefore they were forced to write to Madrid and expect His Majesty's answer in the place where they were Philip would have been glad to have been spared this trouble by the Court of France and that this Commission had been given to some body else rather than to the King of Navar But the Princes of the House of Guise at that time the new and absolute Masters of all Affairs had their particular reasons for keeping the Princes of the Bloud as much as they could from approaching the Court or the King's Person and their design being onely to seek out fair pretensions so to do they were ravish'd to find so plausible an one of delivering themselves from him that troubled them the most In short the King of Spain saw himself oblig'd either quickly to satisfie the King of Navar '● demand or else to bring the business to a Negotiation to obtain of the Court of France that he might be called back and another sent in his place This last way seem'd to be of an insupportable length for a Prince that was in expectation of the most lovely person in the world for his Wife Wherefore this great Polititian satisfied for that time his amorous impatience to the prejudice of his Interests and wrote to his Deputies to grant the King of Navar his demand Presently after the Queen began her Journey to Madrid and was met upon the way by Don Carlos who was accompanyed besides many other considerable persons by his Cousin Alexander Farnese the young Prince of Parma and by Rui Gomez de Silva Prince of Eboli his Governour and the King 's great Favourite At the first news the Queen had of the Prince's coming such opposite sentiments did raise themselves in her mind and did agitate her with so much violence that she fell into a 〈◊〉 in her Womens arms and could not be brought to her self till Don Carlos was ready to ask leave to salute her After the first civilities these two illustrious Persons taken up with the mutual consideration of each other left off speaking and the rest of the company holding their peace out of respect there was for some time a silence extraordinary enough in such an occasion Don Carlos was not shap'd according to the exactest rules of Symmetry but

or that the extraordinary disturbance the Queen was in and the violence she did her self to take it gave it a malignity which it had not in its self she expired the same day in the midst of violent pains and after several great fits of vomiting Her Child was found dead with its skul almost quite burned away She was then at the beginning of the four and twentieth year of her age as well as Don Carlos and in the greatest perfection of her beauty Fortune did so exemplarily revenge the death of these two persons that it would be unjust to keep the knowledge of it from posterity The beauty of the Princess of Eboli soon changed the confidence the King had in her into a violent love Rui Gomez her Husband as jealous of the confidences the King made to his Wife as of the favours she did the King resolved to rid himself of her but the Princess having discovered his design prevented it by ridding her self of him S nce that she kept Don John at a distance from the Court under pretence of divers employments but in effect because he would have treated her with that authority that their long and familiar commerce had given him over her She made the Government of Flanders be given him in hopes that he would perish there as he had done if the courage and conduct of the Prince of Parma had not saved him In this conjuncture she was told that he had discovered the ill offices she had done him The fear she had that he would ruine her in letting the King know all that had passed between them made her resolve to shew him some Letters of the Prince of Orange that were of an extraordinary consequence They imported That the marriage of Don John with the Queen of England was concluded and that the Rebels of Flanders had engaged their word to acknowledge him for their Sovereign as soon as this marriage should be consummated and that without any other condition then Liberty of Conscience These Letters were given by Perez to the King who presently knew the Prince of Orange his writing and as he abandon'd himself to his fear in the Princess of Eboli's presence she took that time to tell him the answer that Don John had heretofore made to Don Carlos when he call'd him Bastard She also put the King in mind of the Pride with which this same Don John had received the acclamations of the Army of Granada where the Souldiers charmed with some great action that he had done cried out in his presence This is the true Son of the Emperour She added his obstinacy to make himself King of Tunis and the loss of the Goulette which he had suffer'd to be taken to revenge himself upon the King for not favouring his designs These divers reflections joyned to the pressing danger of the pretended Match with England did penetrate so far into the King's mind that thinking he had not the least time to lose he found a way of making a pair of perfum'd walking Boots be sent to Don John which cost him his life Some time after it was discovered that the Princess of Eboli had on purpose made the Prince of Orange write those Letters which she said were intercepted and which had been so fatal to Don John The King conceived so great a horrour for this wickedness that it extinguish'd his Love The Princess and Perez were confin'd to a Prison there to end their days Perez afterwards making his escape spent the rest of his life very miserably in wandring through all the Princes Courts in Europe And last of all Philip the Second himself after he was grown old among the griefs caused him by so many disasters was stricken with an Ulcer which bred an incredible quantity of Lice by which he was even eaten up alive and stifled when they found no more wherewithall to nourish themselves upon his body After this manner were expiated the ever to be deplored deaths of a magnanimous Prince and of the most beautiful and most vertuous Princess that ever was And thus it was that their unfortunate Ghosts were at last fully appeased by the Tragical Destinies of all the Complices of their Death FINI● * The Father Hila●rois of Coss Min. in his Elogy of this Queen * Brantome in his Philip the 2 d. * Brantome in his Discourse of this Queen * Brantome in her Elogy * Mr. de Thou Aubigné Etr. * Brantome in his Discourses upon this Queen * Mr. de Thou * Mayerne Thurquets history of Spain * Cabreras History of Philip the 2d * Hugo Blasius Dutchman in his Acroma * Dicos y echos di Philippe 2. * Father Hilarion of Cossa in his Elogy of this Queen * Brantome in his Philip the 2d * Mayerne Turquett in his History of Spain * Mr. Mezeray in his Great History * Mayern Turquet * Mr. de Thou * Mayerne Turquet La Planches History La Places Memoire Monsieur de Mezerai Le Laboureur Diogenes c. * Mr. de Thou Strada c. * Brantome in his Discourse of Philip 2d * Historia de D.
