MOST SACRED SOVERAIGN I haue aduentured to present your Maiestie not with a faire pourtrait but with a slight shadow of your imperiall greatnesse Which I began long since but then the end was in nubibus or in abeiance as our Lawyers say for I could not finish it according to my proiect vntill such time as he which should be sent Expectatio gentium Britannicatū should come who was ordained from aboue to weare all these crownes and garlands and to reduce this whole Isle with the hereditary Kingdomes and Prouinces thereof to one monarchie and entire Empire as they had been in the times of diuers ancient British Saxon and some English kings of the Norman or Danish race as it shall hereafter appeare The foundation of this great worke hath bin layd by many Kings your Maiesties ancestors I meane by alliance not by armes for those plots were frustrate but as lately by King Henry the eight when he mediated the mariage of his sonne the Prince of England with the Princesse of Scotland your Maiesties mother as also in this maner many ages before the good king Malcolm Cammoir proiected this worke and that with happy successe by the mariage of Margaret daughter of the Saxon Prince Edward Exul heire of the great Edgar out of which royall bride-bed your Maiestie is issued Likewise Alexander the first maried Sibilla eldest daughter of William Duke of Normandy king of England The first Dauid also king of Scotland maried Matilda daughter of the Earle Waldeof and of Iudith neece to the said King William King Alexander the second maried Ioan Plantagenet daughter of King Iohn King Alexander the third maried Margaret Plantagenet daughter of King Henry the third King Dauid the second maried Ioan Plantagenet daughter of King Edward the second King Iames the first maried Ioane daughter of the Duke of Somerset Grandchild to King Edward the third King Iames the fourth your Maiesties great Grandfather maried Margaret eldest daughter of King Henry the seauenth and of Queene Elizabeth Plantagenet daughter and heire of King Edward the fourth But these Princes maried onely but daughters of England but You most sacred Prince the great IACOB enthronized vpon the Patriarke Iacobs fatall stone and vpon Saint Iacobs Festiuall espoused solemnely faire England her selfe And all the former matches were but preparatiues as I said foundations of this great worke which your Maiesty whom I may now call an English man as well for being descended from so many English Princes as also for that your Maiesties Father was an English man and your mother Princesse and heire of England hath by diuine preordinance now finished and accomplished in plenitudine temporum and that by iust right for in your sacred person are iointly met and coalesced the royall blouds interests and titles not onely of all Great Britaine but also of France and Ireland Which to prooue will not require much search nor study for they are euident and I will for breuities sake but thus point at them For some of them namely Scotland the Crowne and Scepter whereof missa per innumeros auos your Maiestie hath borne from your infancy all men know and acknowledge your ancient royall right and estate therein And your Maiesties title to Ireland will be manifest in your Genealogie herein deduced from that great Plantagenet King Henry the second the first English Prince Lord of Ireland from his heroycall posteritie as well Marches as others who haue been continually seysed thereof vntill this day So likewise your Maiesties tytle to the Crowne of France sheweth it selfe clearly in the ancient possessions of these royall Plantagenets here presented your Maiesties Progenitors first Dukes of Normandy then of Aquitaine Earles of Poictow of Aniow of Maine of Touraine and of Britaine and after of Angolesme And lastly Kinges of all France in the right of Isabell or Elizabeth sole daughter and heyre of Philip le bel King of France mother of King Edward the third who made a most renowned and happy entry vpon that his royall inheritance hee his great heires were not onely titulare Lords but also actuall possessors of France many yeares and yet to this day in token of that ancient right haue seysine of a part of that kingdome notwithstanding that counterfeit hethenish law Salica maintained by all the power of France many ages against them Your Maiesties tytle and descent from the ancient kings of great Britaine and which is least knowne may thus redily be deriued The Welsh Bardes as also our best heralds record that Rhese ap-Gruffith surnamed Atgluid prince of Southwales about the yeere of our Lord 1196. and issued from Cadwallader the last British King had a daughter named Gwenlhian maried to Edneuet Vachan Lord of Bransencle and chiefe Iustice of Wales and bare to him a sonne called Grono this Grono had Tedor Tedor had Grono Grono had Tedor Tedor had Meredith Meredith had Owen Which Owen maried Catherine widow of king Henry the fift and daughter of the French king Charles the sixt by whom hee had Edmond creaeted Earle of Richmond by King Henry the sixt his brother vterine And this Edmond was father of King Henry the seauenth who was father of Queene Margaret your Maiesties great granmother c. But some deriue your Maiesties British race from a namelesse a good namelesse daughter of Gruffith ap Leolhin a Prince ●f Wales about the yeere 1051 vpon whom as they pretend Fleanchus thane or Steward of Abria flying into Wales for suc●our begat vnlawfully a sonne who should be ancester to all the ●hiefe Stewards to this day But this being not acknowledged by ●he best Scotish Historiographers the thing not honourable I may well pretermit it Lastly to finish all these your Maiesties natiue titles to these many Diadems mentioned in this Poësy I haue inserted a Genealogy of the Saxon Kings drawne from the first vniter of the heptarchye and the Godfather of Anglia King Egbert vnto Matilda the Empresse daughter and heyre of King Henry the first and mother of this great Plantagenet King Henry the second ancester of all the
