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

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

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

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

And so entered the towne where stode the captayn with the sowdyours in

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

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

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]

the kynges came ryding in the myddes and so the frensshe kynge went to

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

hondred thousand pounde they passed ferre our lordes and knyghtes in
apparayle and rychesse. They had greate chere in Caleys and louynge also

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

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. Therle of
Darby cupberer. Therle of Arundell butteller. The visconte lysle panter.
The lorde Bray awmoner. 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. There was foure tables
in y{e} great hall alonge the sayde hall. The noble women one table
syttyng al on y{e} one syde. The noble men an other table. The mayre of
London an other table w{h} his bretherne. The barons of the portes with
y{e} mayster of the chauncery the fourth table. And thus all thynges nobly
and tryumphantly done at her coronacyon her grace retourned to Whyte hall
with great ioy and solempnyte and the morowe was great iustes at y{e}
tylte done by xviij. lordes and knyghtes where was broken many speares
valyauntly: but some of their horses wolde nat come at their pleasure nere
unto the tylte whiche was displeasure to some that there dyd ronne.

  Thus endeth this tryumphe: Imprinted
     at London in Flete-strete
     by Wynkyn de Worde
     for Johan Goughe,


_Cum Priuilegio._




Footnotes:

has a _fleur de lys_ on it, and not the Tudor rose; probably Henry wore
the _fleur de lys_ in compliment to Francis.

        d'une habilete pour les affaires, et d'un amour pour sa patrie,

        Mirepoix, in Languedoc, in return for his services. The family
