Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 This yéere the new league accorded betwixt king Henrie & the French king was openlie proclaimed through the citie of London by a trumpet. Marga|ret quéene of Scots eldest sister to the K. came this yere into England, & at Harbottell castell was deli|uered of a daughter,The birth of Margaret daughter to the queene of Scots, and of the earle An|gus after|wards mari|ed to the earle of Lenox. begot by hir second husband the lord Archembald Dowglasse earle of Angus. This daughter was called at the fontstone after hir mo|ther Margaret. The said quéene after the death of hir late husband king Iames married the said earle of Angus, without consent of hir brother king Hen|rie, or other of hir friends; chéeflie (as some haue thought) for hir sonnes sake, doubting if she should not haue taken hir choise at home, she should haue maried in some other place, and so haue béene seque|stred from hir sonne, whose bringing vp apperteined now chéeflie vnto hir. But such contention rose shoot|lie after in Scotland amongst the lords, Edw. Hall. The queene of Scots and the earle of Angus hir husband come into Eng|land. that both she and hir husband were glad to séeke succor in England at hir brothers hand, who was contented to releeue them, assigning them the said castell of Har|bottell to lie in, with apparell and all other necessa|ries, till his further pleasure should be knowne. The eightéenth daie of Februarie this yeere, the ladie Ma|rie,The birth of ladie Marie the kings daughter, af|terwards queene. daughter to king Henrie the eight was borne at Gréenewich. This was she that afterwards was quéene of this realme, & married the king of Spaine. This yéere also died the king of Aragon, father to the queene; for whom was kept a solemne obsequie in the cathedrall church of Paules.

Anno Reg. 8.As ye haue heard the last yéere how the quéene of Scots with hir husband was come for succor into England, and laie at Harbottell in Northumber|land, till the kings pleasure was to send for them; so now know you that he (like a naturall brother) sent for hir and hir husband to come to his court for their solace:The king sendeth for the queene of Scots and hir husband to his court. for the which kindnesse the earle humblie than|ked the king, and promised to giue his attendance on the queene his wife to the court. Wherevpon the king sent William Blacknall esquier, clerke of his spicerie with siluer vessell, plate, and other things necessarie for the conueiance of hir, and sent to hir all manner of officers for hir estate conuenient. Now when she was readie to depart, she asked for hir husband, but he was departed into Scotland, and left hir alone; nothing remembring his promise. Which sudden departing much made hir to muse: howbeit,The queene of Scots comming to London, and so to Greene|wich. the lords of England greatlie incouraged hir to kéepe hir promise with the king hir brother.

Now when she was somewhat appeased, she set for|ward; and in euerie towne she was well receiued, & so on the third day of Maie she made hir entrie into London, riding on a white palfreie (which the quéene of England had sent vnto hir) behind sir Thomas Parre richlie beséene, and with a great companie of lords and ladies she rode through the citie to Bai|nards castell, and from thence she was conueied to Gréenewich, and there receiued ioiouslie of the king, the quéene,Three queenes in the English court at once. the French quéene hir sister, and highlie was she feasted. And when the king heard that the earle of Angus hir husband was departed, he said it was doone like a Scot. This quéene sometime was at the court, and sometime at Bainards castell, and so she continued in England all this yéere.
