THE TERRIBLE AND DESERued death of Francis Rauilliack shewing the manner of his strange torments at this Execution vpon Fryday the 25. of May last past for the murther of the late French King Henry the fourth TOGETHER WITH AN ABSTRACT Out of diuers Proclamations and Edicts now concerning the state of France As it was Printed in French in three seuerall Bookes published by Authoritie 1610. At London printed for William Barley and Iohn Bayhe 1610. The true maner of the strange execution of Francis Ranilliack for the late murther of the French King Henry the fourth who was tormented to death vpon a skaffould in the Cittie of Paris the 25 of May last 1610. THE most Inhumaine murther lately comitted vpon the person of the late French King Henry the fourth of famous memory hath much disquieted the state of Fraunce and so busyed other kingdoms in hunting after the true reports thereof so fare forth that we thinke it an in terior loue to our countri-men to haue an abstract of the most accurences that happened since that vnnaturall accydent and fiirstto begin with the viperous homicyde the bludie actor of this deede who stroue with the enuy of his hart draw in pieces the bowells that cherished his life florishing Fraunce I meane that proues abortiue in bringing forth such an vnnaturall french-man This paracide Frances Rauilliack in time past of the order of the Felician fryers but of late a practissioner in the lawe by some named a petty fogger borne in the towne of Angolesme a place not fare distant from the Citty of Paris who after he had vnluckedly accomplished this bloody stratagem by taking away the preseruer of so many liues was vpon the 23 of May last araingned conuicted and condempued by due order of law in the great court and chamber of Turnella in Paris before all the Assemblies Presidents Councellors and Commissioners at the Request of Du Viquit Aturney generall to the King whose place authority was there then to inquire against this Francis Rauilliack for the murther of his late soueraigne Henry the fourth King of Fraunce and Nauare where-vppon this Francis Rauilliack with a sad deathlike countenance holding vp his guilty hand before this great assembly presently confessed guilty and that he became this his countries shame onely by the instigation of the deuill and not any other accomplices confederats would he reueale but in a Satanicall maner vowed himselfe to secrecie wherevpon the law proceeded and a most terrible sentence of death pronounced against him there according to a generall decree of that great court of parliament so being a condemned Uillaine was with a strong gard of armed men conuayd to prison otherwise by the violent rage of the common people he had beene torne in peeces such was the loue they bore to their late King Upon the Fryday following being the 25. of May according to their computation this Frauces Rauilliack was in a most vile and bace manner caried to execution as followeth First naked in his shirt he was brought out of the Consergery being the prison for the palace with a lighted Tortch of two pownd waight i none hand and the Knife wherewith he killed the King chained to the other hand so openly to be seene that the least childe there present might behold it after this he was placed standing vpright in a tumbrell or dung-cart Duug-cart and so from thence conducted with a gard of Cittizens to the Capitall church in Paris where being adiudged to do penance he had bene made a sacrafize to the rage of the rude people had not there bin apoynted Officers to see his execution preuinted it After this being accompanied to the place of execution with two doctors of diuinitie all the way perswading him to saue his soule from euerlasting punishment by reuealing and laying oppen his Assocyates therein which he would not but stiffly though vngraciously tooke the bloody burthen vpon his owne shoulders withstanding euen to the death all faire promises whatsoeuer In this manner as I sayd before was he caried to the Greue being a spatious streete and about the middle of Paris where was builded a very substanciall scaffould of strong timber wherevpon according to his Iudgment he was to be tormented to death Du Viquit the Kings Aturny generall was apoynted principall to see the execution and there to gather if he could some further light of this vnchristianlike conspiracie But so strongly was his flesh and ioynts knit together that of long time these foure horses could not dismember him nor any way teare one ioynt from the other so that one of the horses faynted the which a Marchant of the Citty of Paris perceiuing put to one of his owne being a horse of an exceeding great strength yet notwitstanding for all this they were constrained to cut the flesh vnder his armes and thighes with a sharp raysor by which meanes his body was the easier torne in peeces which being done the rage of the people grew so violent that they snatched the dismembred carcasse out of the executioners hands some beate it in sunder against the ground others cut it in peices with kniues so that there was nothing lest but boanes which were brought to the place of execution and there burned to cinders the ashes wherof was scattered into thewind as being thought to be vnworthie of the earths buriall God in his Iustice I will hope in the like manner reward all such as repine at their countries safety and desperatly attempt to lift their hands against Gods anointed THE BREFES TAKEN OF DIVERS EDICTS AND DECREES lately proclaimed in France in this place LEWES the 13. by the grace of God King of France and Nauarre to all his louing
