Alphonso the Noble would haue the person of the young king Henry in their custodie by which meanes they should haue all authoritie and prerogatiue in the gouernement of the state These Noblemen who were great and mightie Troubles during the minority of D. Henry king of Castile wrought so as they had what they pretended by the meanes of Garcia Laurens who had the gouernement of the Prince and in whom the Queene Regent did rely much They corrupted him by gifts and promises so as hee counselled the Queene D. Berenguela and caused the Prelates and other Noblemen of the Realme to allow thereof that the king should be put into the hands of these Noblemen of the house of Lara whereunto Don Roderigo Ximenes the Arch-bishop did also consent so as they did homage and did sweare faith and loyaltie in the hands of the Q.

Henry was deliuered into the hands of the Earle D. Aluar Nugnes The young king deliuered into the ●ands of them of Lara but they did not performe what they had promised for as soone as they saw themselues seazed of the Kings person and therefore reuerenced and seared they began to pursue many great personages and rich men with all violence so as some were forced to flie Moreouer falling vppon the liberties goods and reuenues of the Clergie they made their profit of them whereuppon they were excommunicated by Don Roderigo Deane of Toledo Vice-gerent or Substitute to the Arch-bishop the which did reclaime them from these insolencies especially against the Clergie and Churches whereof they promised to become Protectors But for that it is a hard matter to restraine great men when they are once giuen to tyranny these Earles of Lara turned against lay-men which enioyed spirituall liuings whom they did vexe and spoile of their reuenues so as they grew odius to all sorts of men and they began to be mooued and to repine much at their excesse D. Aluar who had beene newly made Earle of Auila Factions in Castile called an assembly of the Estates in the Kings name at Vailledolit whither came certaine of his confederates great men of Castile but D.

Aluar D●az de los Cameros and Don Alphonso Teles de los Meneses with many other Noblemen of the Kingdome detesting this tyrannie exhorted the Queene to complaine of the extorsions miseries and calamities which the people and whole Realme suffered by their meanes according to which aduice she did write to the Earle Don Aluar Nugnes D. Alur de Lara spoyles D. Berenguela the Queene Regent of her authority and estate putting him in mind of the faith and homage which hee had sworne to her and admonishing him to gouerne better wherewith D. Aluar beeing incensed he did all the wrong he could vnto the Queene and in the end dispossest her of all that the King her father had left for her portion yea he grew so insolent as he commanded her to depart the Court the which this poore Princesse was forced to do retiring with her sister D. Elenor who was yet a mayd to Oteilla where they remayned vntill the death of D. Henry their brother This violent contempt was not concealed from the young King who began to complaine demanding to be deliuered againe vnto the Queene D. Berenguela his sister but it was in vaine for he himselfe beeing forced and resisting all he could was led from place to place as it pleased the Earle Don Aluaro and which was more he was forced by him to marry D. Malfada Infanta of Portugal daughter to the King D. Sancho without imparting it to the Prince nor to the Princesses of the bloud Marriage for●ced of the K. D. Henry not to any but to his owne faction which marriage hee beganne to broach at Palencia where they were made sure and suddenly beeing come to Medina del campo hee caused them to lye together whereat the Queene D. Berenguela was so mooued beeing not made acquainted with this treaty as she wrote vnto Pope Innocent the third aduertising him that the married couple were so neere akin as according to the ordonances of the Church they could not be ioyned together without scandall by whose meanes the Pope did separate them whereupon D. Malfada who was a very faire Princesse returned into Portugal very much discontented as well for the breach of the marriage as for that Don Aluaro would presume to marrie her the king D. Henry being an infant They were cousins in the fourth degree by an vnequall line wherof the Infanta had the better Some Authors report it after this manner that Queene D. Berenguela hauing sent one to Maqueda where the king
