THE MANER OF THE TRYUMPHE OF CALEYS AND BULLEYN, AND THE NOBLE TRYUMPHAUNT CORONACYON OF QUENE ANNE, _Wyfe unto the Most Noble Kynge Henry VIII_. _Printed by_ WYNKYN DE WORDE, _1532-33_. Edited by EDMUND GOLDSMID, F.R.H.S., F.S.A. (Scot.) PRIVATELY PRINTED, EDINBURGH. 1884. INTRODUCTION. The two extremely rare tracts here given have been reprinted by Prof. Arber in his "English Garner," if we can call _reprinting_ the issuing of a pamphlet not only with the spelling entirely modernised, but also with words and phrases inserted or inverted to suit the Editor's taste. In the "_Tryumphe at Caleys_" Mr Arber has issued the Second Edition, giving us no particulars whatever as to the First. In the list of the noblemen of France, Mr Arber modernises the names and yet gives us a Cardinal _Gramond_, being evidently unaware of the existence of the noble family of de Grammont, and he equally fails to recognise in the Comte de Tonnore, the celebrated Armand, Comte de Tonnerre. Anne de Montmerancy remains for him an unknown actor on the brilliant stage, and yet, surely, the name of the Montmorency must have reached his ears. I have here given an absolute reprint of the first edition and have noted at the foot of each page any variations in the readings which occur in the second. Both Editions were printed by Wynkyn de Worde, probably about November, 1532. The collation according to the copies in the British Museum (c. 21, b. 20) is as follows. It is a black letter, unpaged tract of four leaves. Page 1 contains the title, with a woodcut of Henry VIII. on horseback, with two attendants.[1] Page 2 is blank in the First Edition but contains a list of the noblemen of France in the second. Then come five pages of text in the First Edition, followed by page 8 blank, whilst the Second Edition has six pages of text. The second tract, "The Cornacyon of Quene Anne," was printed by Wynkyn de Worde in 1533. I trust the few notes I have added, either for the purpose of explaining obsolete words or to give a slight clue to the identity of the more important persons mentioned, may prove of use to the student.

The Maner of the Tryumphe of Caleys and Bulleyn.[2] _Cum Priuilegio._[3] I[4] will certyfye you of our newes in the partyes of Caleys. Fyrst the xj. day of October whiche was Fryday in the mornyng at. v. of the clocke the kynges grace toke his Shyppe called the Swallowe and so came to Caleys by. x. of the clocke. And there he was receyved with processyon and with the mayre and the lorde delite and all the speres[5] and the sowdyours in araye with a greate peale of gonnes and laye in Caleys tyll the Sondaye seuenyght after. And on the. xvj. day of October my lorde of Norffolke accompanyed with my lord of Darby and a great nombre of gentilmen besydes mette with the great mayster of Fraunce vj. myles fro Calays at y{e} englysshe pale the sayd great mayster hauynge two greate lordes in his company of theyr ordre and a hondred gentylmen attendynge vpon them. And there my lorde of Norffolke and the greate mayster deuysed the place where the two kynges sholde mete whiche was at Sandyngfelde. And that done they wente bothe to Caleys with theyr companyes. And the sayd greate mayster with dyuerse other straungers dyned that daye with y{e} Kynge. And after dyner my lorde of Norffolke brought them forth on theyr way a myle or two and so departed for that tyme. And on the mondaye the. xxj. daye of October the Kyng of Englande toke his waye to mete with the frensshe kyng at the place before appoynted with vij. score all in veluet cotes afore hym lordes and Knyghtes and xl. of his garde and other to the nombre (as we thynke) of. vj. hondred horses and as well horsed as euer was seen. And y{e} Kyng our mayster mette with the frensshe Kyng at Sandyngfelde within the englysshe pale thre myles. There the frensshe kynge taryed for our mayster the space of an houre or two the frensshe kynge beynge accompanyed with the kynge of Nauerne the cardinal of Loreyn the duke of Vandome and[6] with dyuerse other noblemen well and rychely appoynted beynge of lyke nombre as our kyng was of that is to saye vj. hondred psones.[7] There was the louyngest metyng that euer was seen for the one embraced y{e} other v. or vj. tymes on horsbacke and so dyd the lordes on eyther party eche to other and so dyd ryde hande in hande with greate loue the space of a myle[8] and than they dyd lyght of theyr horses and dranke eche to other the frensshe kyng dranke fyrst to our kyng and whan they had dronke they embraced eche other agayne with great loue and so rode towards Bulleyn our kynge on the ryght hande. And whan they came within a myle of Bulleyn there mette with the kynges the Dolphyn beynge accompanyed with his two bretherne the duke of Orliaunce and the count or erle of Angolame very goodly chyldren and attendyng vpon them four cardynalles with a M. horses very well beseen. And whan they came nere to y{e} towne the frensshe kynge caused our mayster to tary whyles y{e} gonshot was shotte whiche was herd fro Bulleyn. xx. englysshe myles of. And so entered the towne where stode the captayn with the sowdyours in good ordre and aboue them stode a hondred swytsheners of the frensh kynges garde in theyr dublettes and theyr hosen of yelowe veluet cutte goodly persons[9] and aboue them stode cc. of the frensshe kynges garde more scottes and frensshmen in cotes of yelow blewe and crymsyn veluet beryng halberdes in theyr handes and aboue them stode cc. gentylmen beyng in theyr gownes well and rychely beseen euery man hauyng an ax[10] in theyr handes and theyr captaines standyng by them. And so they taryed in Bulleyn mondaye tuysdaye Wednesday and thursday all daye.[11] And for the greate chere that was there no man can expresse it. For the kynges grace was there enterteyned all at the frensshe kynges costes and charges. And euery daye noble men of Fraunce desyred our nobles and gentylmen home to theyr lodgynges where as they founde theyr houses rychely hanged greate cupbordes of plate sumptuous fare with syngyng and playenge of all kyndes of musyke. And also there was sent vnto our lodgynges great fare with all maner of wynes for our seruantes and our horsmeet payd for and al at theyr charges. And euery day y{e} frensshe kyng had at dyner and souper with hym certayne noble men of Englande. And the kynges grace had in lykewyse certeyn of theyr nobles at dyner and souper during y{e} tyme of theyr beyng at Bulleyn. And this contynued with as great chere and familiarite as myght be. And as concernyng ladyes and gentylwoman there[12] was non there. And on frydaye folowynge the kynges came to Caleys. And the dolphyn with the cardynalles and all theyr gentylmen brought the kynges vnto y{e} place where they fyrst mette and than departed. The frensshe king had great cariage[13] for there came ccc. mules laden w{h} stuffe.

Also for the ordre of the towne there was set all seruynge men on the one syde in tawny cotes and sowdyours on the other syde all in cotes of reed and blewe with halberdes in theyr handes. And so the kynges came ryding in the myddes and so the frensshe kynge went to staple hall which is a pryncely hous and vpon saterday bothe the kynges rode to our lady chyrche to masse. And at after noone[15] bothe theyr counselles sate togyder. And vpon sondaye both y{e} kynges herde masse in theyr lodgynges.

And after that the kynge toke of theyr visers and than they daunced with gentylmen of Fraunce an houre after. And than they departed to theyr lodgynges. And as for y{e} apparayle of y{e} frensshe lordes my tongue can not expresse it and in especyal the frensshe kyng his apparayle passed[19] my penne to wryte for he had a dublet ouer set all with stones and ryche diamondes whiche was valued by discrete men at a hondred thousand pounde they passed ferre our lordes and knyghtes in apparayle and rychesse. They had greate chere in Caleys and louynge also and all at our kynges costes and charges. Also the same daye that the kynges came from Bulleyn the frensshe kynge made the duke of Norffolke and the duke of Suffolke of the ordre of saynt Mighill.[20] And vpon monday whiche was the. xxix. day of October at Caleys our kyng made the great mayster of Fraunce and the admyrall of Fraunce knyghtes of the garter.

And he purposeth (god wyllynge) to be at Caunterbury the. viij. daye of Nouember and so home whome god of his goodnes euer preserue and sende good passage and safe agayne into Englande. Amen. God Saue the Kynge.

So this moste noble company passed till her grace came to fanchurch where was a pagent fayre and semly w{h} certayne chyldren which saluted her grace with great honour and prayse after a goodly fassyon: and so passed forthe to Grase churche where was a ryght costly pagent of Apollo with the nyne muses amonge y{e} mountaynes syttyng on y{e} mount of Pernasus and euery of them hauynge theyr instruments and apparayle acordyng to the descryption of poets and namely of Uirgyll with many goodly verses to her great prayse and honour. And so she passed forth through gracyous[33] strete unto leaden hall where was buylded a sumptuous and a costly pagent in maner of a castell wherein was fasshyoned an heuenly roufe and under it vpon a grene was a roote or a stocke whereout spronge a multytude of whyte roses and reed curyously wrought so from the heuenly roufe descended a whyte faucon and lighted upon y{e} said stocke and roote and incontynent descended an angell w{h} goodly armony hauynge a close crowne bytwene his handes and set it on the faucons heed: and on the said flour sate saynt Anne in y{e} hyest place on that one syde her progeny w{h} scripture that is to wete the thre Marys w{h} theyr issue y{t} is to vnderstande: Mary the mother of Christ Mary Solome y{e} mother[34] of Zebedee with the two chyldren of them also Mary Cleophe with her husbande Alphee with their four chyldren on y{e} other syde with other poetycall verses sayd and songe w{h} a balade in englisshe to her great prayse (and)[35] honour and to al her progeny also. And so she passed (for)th[36] from thence through cornehill and at y{e} condyt was a sumptuous pagent of the thre graces: and at the comynge of the quenes grace a poete declared the nature of all those thre ladyes and gave hye prayses vnto the quene. And after his preamble fynysshed every lady partyculer spake great honour and hye prayse of the quenes grace: And so she passed forth with all her nobles tyll she came in chepe and at the great condyt was made a costly fountayne whereout ranne whyte wyne claret and reed great plenty all that after noone: and ther was great melody w{h} speches. And so passed forthe through chepe to the standarde whiche was costly and sumptuously garnisshed with gold and asure with armes and stories wher was great armony and melody: and so passed she forth by the crosse in chepe whiche was newe garnisshed and so through chepe towarde the lesser condyt. And in the mydwaye bytwene the recorder of London receyved her afore the Aldermen with great reuerence and honour salutynge her grace with a louyng and humble preposycion presentynge her grace with a ryche and costly purse of golde and in it a thousande marke in golde coyne gyuen vnto her as a free gyfte of honour: to whom she gaue great thankes bothe with herte and mynde.

Regina Anna prospere procede et regna that is in englysshe Quene Anne prospere procede and reygne. The lady that sate in the myddes hauynge a table of golde in her hande wrytten with letters of asure. Ueni amica coronaberis. Come my loue thou shallbe crowned. And two aungels hauyng a close crowne of golde bytwene their handes. And the lady on y{e} ryght hande had a table of syluer wherein was writte. Domine dirige gressos meos. Lorde god dyrecte my wayes. The other on the lyfte hande had in another table of syluer written thus. Confide in domino. Trust in god. And vnder theyr fete was a longe rol wherin was written this. Regina Anna nouum regis de sanguine natum cum paries populis aurea secla tuis. Quene Anne whan y{u} shalte beare a newe sone of y{e} kynges bloode there shalbe a golden worlde vnto thy people. And so y{e} ladyes caste ouer her heede a multytude of wafers with rose leaues and about y{e} wafers were written with letters of gold this posay.[37] And so her grace passed forth into Poules chyrchyarde and at the eest ende of y{e} chyrch agaynst y{e} schole was a great scaffolde whereon stode y{e} nombre of two hundred chyldren well befene who receyued w{h} poetes verses to her noble honour whan they had fynisshed she sayd Amen w{h} ioyful smylyng countenaunce and so passed forth thrugh the longe chyrchyarde and so to Ludgate whiche was costly and sumptuously garnysshed with golde colours and asure with swete armony of ballades to her greate prayse and honour w{h} dyuerse swete instrumentes. And thus her grace came thorowe the cyte with great honour and royaltye and passed thorowe Flete strete tyll she came to y{e} Standarde and condyth where was made a fayre toure with foure tourrettes with fanes there within great plenty of swete instrumentes w{h} chyldren syngyng the standarde of mason warke costly made with ymages and aungels costly gylted with golde and asure with other colours and dyuerse fortes of armes costly set out shall there contynue and remayne and within the standarde a vyce with a chyme. Also there ranne out of certayne small pypes great plenty of wyne all that after-noone. And so her grace passed through the cyte to temple barre and so to Charyng crosse and so thorowe Westmynster into Westmynster hall where that was well and rychly hanged with cloth of Arras with a meruaylous ryche cupborde of plate and there was a voyde[38] of spyce plates and wyne. And y{t} done the quenes grace withdrewe her in to y{e} whyte hall for that nyght and so to Yorke place by water. The sondaye in y{e} mornynge at viij. of the clocke y{e} quenes grace w{h} noble ladyes in theyr robes of estate w{h} al y{e} nobles aparayled in parlyament robes as dukes erles archbysshops and bysshops w{h} barons and the barons of y{e} fyue portes[39] with the mayre of y{e} cite the aldermen in theyr robes as mantels of scarlet. The barons of y{e} fyve portes bare a ryche canopy of cloth of golde with stanes of golde and four belles of syluer and gylt. The abbot of Westmynster in his rygals[40] came in to y{e} hall in pontificalibus w{h} his monkes in theyr best copes the Kynges chapell in theyr best copes with y{e} bysshops rychely aourned[41] in pontificalibus and the ray cloth blewe spredde from the hygh desses of y{e} kynges benche unto the hygh aulter of Westmynster. And so every man procedynge to the mynster in y{e} best order euery man after theyr degree apoynted to theyr order and office as aperteyneth came vnto y{e} place apoynted where her grace receyued her crowne w{h} al y{e} serymonyes therof as ther vnto belongeth. And so al y{e} serimonyes done w{h} y{e} solempne masse they departed home in their best orders euery man to the hal of Westmynster where y{e} quenes grace withdrew her for a tyme in to her chambre apoynted and so after a certayne space her grace came in to y{e} hall. Than ye shulde haue sene euery noble man doyng their seruyce to them apoynted in y{e} best maner y{t} hath ben sene in any suche serimony. The quenes grace wasshed y{e} archbisshop of Canterbury sayd grace. Than y{e} nobles were set to the table therw{h} came y{e} quenes seruice w{h} y{e} seruyce of tharch bysshop a certayne space thre men with the quenes grace seruyce. Before y{e} said seruyce came y{e} duke of Suffolke high constable y{t} day and stewarde of y{e} feest on horsbacke and meruaylously trapped in aparell w{h} rychesse. Than w{h} hym came y{e} lorde Wyllyam Hawarde as depute to y{e} duke of Norfolke in y{e} rome of y{e} marshal of Englande on horsbacke. The erle of essex caruer. Therle of Sussex sewer.

These noble men dyd theyr seruyce in suche humble sorte and fassyon that it was wonder to se the payne and dylygence of them beynge suche noble personages. The seruyce borne by Knyghtes whiche were to me to longe to tell in order the goodly seruyce of kyndes of meate with their deuyses from the hyest vnto the lowest there haue not ben sene more goodlyer nor honorablyer done in no mannes dayes.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. Section 3.

Newby Chief Executive and Director gbnewby@pglaf.org Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit http://pglaf.org While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: http://www.gutenberg.net This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
