The Holinshed Texts (1587, Volume 6, p. 625)

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Shortlie after hir arriuall, she was conueied to the towne of Southwike in Hamshire,

Margaret daughter to Reiner K. of Sicill & Ie|rusalem mari|ed to Henrie the sixt.

Abr. Fl. ex Polychron.

where she with all nuptiall ceremonies was coupled in matri|monie to king Henrie the sixt of that name. ¶ On the eightéenth of Maie she came to London, all the lords of England in most sumptuous sort méeting and receiuing hir vpon the waie, and speciallie the duke of Glocester with such honour as stood with the dignitie of his person. Now when she came to Blackheath, the maior, aldermen, and men of occu|pations, in blew gownes imbrodered with some de|uise expressing their art and trades whereby to be knowne, did all shew themselues, with congratula|tion of hir comming; from whence they attended hir to London, where with goodlie pageants and sun|drie gallant historicall shewes in diuers places erec|ted, she was verie magnificallie welcomed. The ma|ner and order of which pompe in sundrie places exhi|bited to the high honour of the king, queene, & states, is verie amplie set foorth by Fabian, pag. 423, 424, 425, 426, 427. Upon the thirtith of Maie next fol|lowing, she was crowned quéene of this realme of England at Westminster, with all the solemnitie thereto apperteining.]

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 This mariage séemed to manie both infortunate and vnprofitable to the realme of England, and that for manie causes. First, the king had not one penie with hir;An [...]minous mariage. and for the fetching of hir, the marquesse of Suffolke demanded a whole fiftéenth in open parle|ment. And also there was deliuered for hir the duchie of Aniou, the citie of Mans, and the whole countie of Maine, which countries were the verie staies and backestands to the duchie of Normandie. And fur|thermore, the earle of Arminacke tooke such displea|sure with the king of England for this mariage, that he became vtter enimie to the crowne of England, and was the cheefe cause that the Englishmen were expelled out of the whole duchie of Aquitaine.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 But most of all it should séeme, that God was displeased with this mariage: for after the confir|mation thereof, the kings freends fell from him, both in England and in France, the lords of his realme fell at diuision, and the commons rebelled in such sort, that finallie after manie fields foughten, and manie thousands of men slaine, the king at length was deposed, and his sonne killed, and this quéene sent home againe, with as much miserie and sorrow as she was receiued with pompe and triumph: such is the instabilitie of worldlie felicitie, and so waue|ring is false flattering fortune. Which mutation and change of the better for the worse could not but net|tle and sting hir with pensiuenesse, yea and anie other person whatsoeuer, that hauing béene in good estate, falleth into the contrarie: whereto the saieng of the poet giueth credit, in these few words following;

Quem res plus nimio delectauère secundae,Ouid. 2. de ar [...].

Mutatae quatiunt.
