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.

_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. And[14] whan they came to Caleys they were saluted with great melody what with gonnes and all other instrumentes and the ordre of the towne it was a heuenly syght for the tyme First at Newnam bridge. iiij. c. shotte at the blockhous. xl. shot at Rycebanke toure. iij. c. shot within y{e} towne of Caleys. ij. m. shot great and small besydes the shyppes it was all nombered. iij. m. shot. And at Bulleyn by estymation it past not. cc. shot but they were great peces. 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 at after-noone the kynge of Englande went to Staple hall to the frensshe kynge and there was bothe bere baytynge and bulbayting tyll nyght. And at nyght the frensshe kynge souped with our kynge and there was greate bankettynge. And after souper[16] there came in a maske mylady marques of Penbroke[17] my lady Mary[18] my lady Darby my lady Fitzwater my lady Rocheford my lady Lislie and my lady Wallop gorgyously apparayled with visers on theyr faces and so came and toke the frensshe kynge by the hande and other lordes of Fraunce and daunced a daunce or two. 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 that daye there was a greate wrastelynge betwene englysshe men and frensshe men before bothe the kynges the frensshe kynge had none but preestes that wrasteled which were bygge men and stronge they were bretherne but they had moost falles.[21] And vpon the. xxix. daye of October the frensshe kynge departed fro Caleys to Parys ward and our kynge brought hym as ferre as Morgyson which is fro Caleys. vij. myle and so came to Caleys agayne. 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.
