receiued of the Citizens with surpassing ioy honour and gratulation For whilest his Father was yet liuing he had perceiued the singular fauour and good will of his subiects and found it also after his death because as long as he liued he sought for nothing else but golden peace and the quietnesse of his subiects and to kéepe them happie and blessed without anie harme Whereby he gathered together so great riches and treasure as scarce anie king that euer liued before him had gotten So Abdallas raigned alone certaine yéeres and kept his Court by turnes one yere at Fesse and two at Marocco vntill such time as hée made an heire apparant and instituted a successor After Abdallas had raigned long time in singular quietnesse and had alone vsed exercised the supreame rule gouernment he determined with himself to abrogate disanul the law the his Father with the péeres of the kingdome had made for the succession in the crowne which should in order still descend alwaies to the elder brother liuing And although that Abdallas did priuelie secretlie practise it with those in whom he reposed greatest trust yet notwithstanding the matter came at length to the notice of his brothers of whom some béeing carefull of their liues and fearing to bée made awaie by some trecherie fled out of the kingdome as Abdelmunen and Abdelmelec who not without passing great perill because there were many priuie awaites laide for them in their iourney by the seruants of their brother Abdallas fledde to Tremissen And béeing there they were curteouslie entertained by the Turkes as young Gentlemen of the bloud rotall And anone after they withdrew themselues to Argier that they might liue more safelte there vnder the defence of the Turkish Emperour When Muley Abdallas who as we told you before priuelie compassed the murther of his brothers that hée might safelie leaue the kingdome to his sonnes heard that they sought to saue them selues by flying out of the Countrie hée dissembling his anger for it greeued him at the heart that some of them had escaped least the rest of his brothers should bée also afraide gathered together all his forces out of hand vnder pretence of going to the Citie of Fes Wherefore being first encamped before the Citie of Marocco and anone after his Campe remooued as though he woulde goe to Fes When he heard that his Brothers were come to salute him hee leauing his youngest brother whose childish yéeres hée contemned staied for them feare daies iourney from the Citie of Fes So then when they were come together and hadde saluted one another it happened that a littie while after they suspecting no ill nor fearing anie falschoode were with monstrous crueltie all thrée beheaded in their Tentes The which thing dyd not pricke the kinges subiectes a little at the heart but déepelie pearced it yet they were forced to dissemble their sorrow After that hée had done this so Tragicall an act hée finished his iourney to Fes to the intent for to thrust his sonne Muley Mahomet vpon the Fessans for their Prince and sole heir of all his kingdomes so force them to sweare faith obedience vnto him For although he had other childrē and in déede more worthie of the Empire yet because this was his eldest and also for other causes he rathest made choice of him to be his successour Wherfore as soone as hée came to Fes he assembling the States brought the matter to that passe that they gaue their allegeance to his sonne sware to be true liegemen vnto him rather constrained by feare than brought to it by loue and good will towards the Prince or for anie right that he could pretend to the kingdome After he had dispatched these matters and séeing the al things had succéeded as he did wish then that he who was now almost broken with age might passe the rest of his life in quiet idlenesse he returned with his armie to Marocco leaning his sonne in the Citie of Fes for to gouerne that Prouince Things standing in this state in Barbarie the two brothers got then to Argier for to escape and auoide the furie of their brother Muley Abdallas and the younger of them Muley Abdelmelec went to Constantinople Where he did serue so well both by sea and by land that for his noble courage of heart and passing strength of bodie he allured many men to his loue through his valiant acts and victories gotten of his enimies he wan the fame of a great name not onelie among the people but also with the Prince of the Turkes himselfe The which thing got him not onlie singular fauor honor full of good will but also gained him immeasurable riches That I may omit with what how great promises the Emperor of the Turkes loded him in how great hope he did put him that he wold reduce him into his fathers kingdome out of the which he had ben driuen by his brothers iniurie But Muley Abdelmunen that abode at Argier was so simple witted that by the perswasiō of his brother Abdallas he returned again to Tremissen whether Muley Mahamet ●ēt thrée cut throte villains for to dispatch him out of the way And it fel out to as he wold haue it for when these villains were come to Tremissen they so well eied Abdelmunen the one fridaie as he was praying in the temple they wounded him with an arow of that which wound he died within 2. daies after no auctor of the trecherie and villanous fact being knowen When newes was brought to Abdelmelec at Constantinople of the death of his brother he was verie heartely sory therefore Which caused Solyman themperor of the Turkes to promise him aide to recouer his kingdome But that this promise was not performed the death of Sultan Solyman that followed shortly after was the let But when Sultan Amurathes was come to the Empire now reigneth ouer the Turkes Abdelmelec obteined more fauour and credit then euer he had before About the same time Muley Abdallas fell sick and dyed within thrée daies after in the Citie of Marocco His death was concealed kept close thrée dayes not onely that in the meane time Muley Mahamet who was then in the citie of Fes might be certified of the decease of his father but also least that if his vncles had knowen of the death of their brother Abdallas before him they would make themselues Princes of the citie of Marocco in the possession whereof the state of the kingdome consisted But the subiects bare more good will to the two brothers of Mahamet although they were younger then he But when Mahamet had receaued newes of his Fathers death he caused himselfe to be proclaimed king of Fes and immediatly after went out of the Citie with an armie and came to Marocco the head and Metropolitan citie of the whole kingedome and there although the people were vnwilling dyd assume the dignitie royall no man resisting nor impeaching him

about nine and twentie or thirtie yéeres of age of coulour blacke not bigge but yet faule and weake and of no strength and much lesse skilfull of things and endued with that wisdome which is required in the gouerning of a kingdome and that I may comprehend all in few wordes he was altogether vnlike his brother Abdelmelec for he was of a meane stature of a fine proportion of bodie with brode shoulders white face but intermixed with red which did gallantlie garnish his chéekes a blacke beard thicke and curled great eies and graie In summe he was a verie proper man and verie comelie in all his actions and iestures and verie strong the which strength he conserued by continuallie exercising of himselfe in skirmishes and in bending of bowes He spake Spanish verie well and with a great grace he could also write in Spanish But hée had the Italian tongue best of all other yet he tooke most delight in the Turkish tongue so that for loue of it he cared not for the Arabian the which was his mother tongue and wherein he was accounted for the most excellent Poet of his time He was ingenious sharpe witted and passing prudent and wise wheras in other things than speciallie in the gouernment of a kingdome He plaied wel on diuerse instruments and also daunced excellentlie but delighted aboue measure in armes and the art of warre in which things he also exercised himselfe much insomuch that he made with his owne hands many great péeces of ordenance that are yet at this daie in Barbarie For he was of a singular and wonderfull wit in all things that he went about or tooke in hand And although he professed the religion of Mahamet yet he so loued Christians and of them Spaniardes that I cannot expresse with wordes the loue and good will which he shewed towards many captiues prisoners For he suffered thē to returne into Spain being dismissed without ransome and w e this munificense liberalitie he had set at libertie aboue 200. within the 3. yeres tthat he raigned I do now omit to tel you with what fauor curtesie he vsed the prisoners least I be ouerlong or may be carried too far with his loue But the he néeds not my publication of his praise the thing it selfe doth witnesse the hospital built for sick Christians adioining to the tēple of Marocco endowed w e gret reuenues doth proue it manifestly He died in the 35. yéere of his age When he had reigned not full 3. yeeres leauing a son of 3. yéeres and an halfe olde whose name is Ismaell as yet is it at this day brought vp with the Quéene his mother the wife of Abdelmelec at Argier But as touching his nephew Muly Hamet he was younger then Abdelmelec being about xxix or xxx yéeres of age of stature meane of bodie weake of coulour so blacke that he was accompted of many for a Negro or black Moore He was of a peruerse nature he would neuer speak the trueth he did all things subtelly and deceitfully He was not delighted in armes but as he shewed in all battailes of nature cowardly and effeminate But he so cruelly hated Christians that he would kil either with famine or nakednesse those that he caught If that in these warres he being constreined by necessitie gaue any signification of good will towards them he did it against the heart in a maner vnwillingly that he might make them the more readie and chierfull to endaunger themselues for him The Battaile of Lisbon fought in Portugall betwene Antonio king of Portugal and Ferdinando Duke of Alua Generall of the Spanish forces the 24. of August An. 1581. PHillippe the king of Spaine 〈…〉 prosecuting his pretence vnto the Crown of Portugall wherin Don Antonio sonne of Don Lewes brother vnto Henry the last king was inuested sent Ferdinando the Duke of Alua into Portugall with an armie of 25000. footemen part Spaniards part Italians and 2000. light horse and 600. men of armes Against which forces king Antonio had leuied in hast of vnskilfull warriours Portugalls about 20000. Encamping himselfe before the Citie of Lisbon within a péece of ground fortified with diches and rampires there minding to expect the doings of Alua. Who being arriued néere vnto the kings campe 6000. footemē and 80. horsmen assembled the chiefe of the armie in councell what was to be done And there it was concluded that the kings campe was to be assaulted séeing that neither the skill nor the number of their enimies were such as might make the victorie much doubtful and againe the armie being ouerthrowen the conquest of the whole kingdome would incontinently folow because there were no places of strength in the whole Realme to staye the course of the victor the late kings of Portugall being wholly busied in enlarging their Empire abroade by inuading others and vtterlye neglecting for tifications at home to withstand the iniuries of their neighbours with whome they had long liued in peace And so accordingly the next day Alua dismarched to assault the campe and sent before a great band of Italians for to take a foridge nere vnto the citie leading to Al●●tara the which bridge was kept by certaine Portugals The victory for a while was doubtfull now the Italians now the Portugals hauing the better but at the length through the valor of the Italians the Portugalls were beaten from the bridge it won And ouer it Sanchio Dauila passed with many bands of footemen for to assaile the camp he had not fought long but the he wenne the first trench cōmitting great slaughter sent vnto the Duke to send thether the horsemen whiles he went forward assailed the second trench In the meane time Ferdinando de Toledo comming with a part of the horsemen fought by the way with 400 Portugal footmen a few horsemen whom he met put them to flight pursuing them euen to Lisbon at the which time Sanchio wan the second trench When Ferdinando hearing a great noise of harquebusse shot at the camp rallied together his horsemen hasted towards the camp But by the way he met with 15 ensignes of footemē almost 100. horsemē whom he couragiously charging easely put to flight chasing thē euen to the gates of the citie And anon after the whole armie of the Portugals was defaited put to flight The Explanat●●● saies their artillarie taken many of the ensignes of the footemē at last the king being woūded in two places fled w e a few horsemen after he had long fought Dauila folowed the chase w e his whole power euen to the gates of Lisbon whether also shortly after came Ferdinando but they gaue no attēpt vpon the citie because the king of Spaine had seuerely cōmanded the they should not enter the citie although they could for feare of tacke the which he in no case could like When the citizens vnderstoode the ouerthrow of their armie they yelded their
