The Holinshed Texts (1587, Volume 6, p. 852)

But in that discourse he considered not that the same reason, which he iudged true against Charles, was also against himselfe: for that the empire being ioined to his person, he was no lesse to be feared of the pope & all others, than Charles. For that though the one of them possessed happilie more realmes and states; yet the other was not to be lesse esteemed, ha|uing his power not dispersed nor separate in manie places, but was prince of a realme entierlie assem|bled and vnited, where the obedience and fidelitie of his subiects was no lesse woonderfull, than his trea|sure and riches infinite. Neuerthelesse, not knowing in himselfe that which he considered in an other, he had recourse to the pope, and implored his fauor vn|der the offer and protestation of his person and king|doms, with all other deuotions of a louing son. Not|withstanding all this, the French king was abused by his vaine hope, which fed him with fansies of the empire, where to he was not allotted nor elected.

Charles the fift, king of Spaine cho|sen emperour.

For on the twentie eight of Iune was elected to be emperor Charles king of Castile, and nephue to the quéene, by the whole assent of the electors of the em|pire: namelie, the archbishop of Maience, the arch|bishop of Cullen, the count Palatine, and the duke of Saxon. Although the French king sent his great maister to cause him to be elected to the high maie|stie of the empire; yet his ambassador and great mai|ster of his houshold (called Gonffier lord of Boisie, and brother to William Gonffier lord Boneuet, ad|merall of France, which was ambassador in Eng|land the last yéere, as you haue heard) did not so his message that it tooke anie effect. The king which had sent doctor Pace his secretarie for the aduancement of his nephue the king of Castile, to the dignitie im|periall, because he had the duchie of Austrich, and manie other seigniories in Almaine, was verie ioi|ous of this election, and caused a solemne masse to be soong at Paules the seuenth daie of Iulie: at which masse was present the cardinall Campeius, the car|dinall of Yorke, the duke of Buckingham, of Norf|folke, & Suffolke, with the ambassadours of Spaine, France, Uenice, and Scotland.

After masse was doone, the quier sang Te Deum, and then all the lords departed to Bainards castell to dinner, and that night were solemne fires made thorough London, and great plentie of wine giuen by Italians, Dutchmen, and Spaniards for these newes. In this yeare the king with all the knights of his order being in England, rode on double horsses, with the henchmen following the king from Col|brooke to Windsore in gorgious apparell, and there he kept with great solemnitie the feast of saint George, and dined in the hall. The bishop of Winchester pre|lat of the order sat at the boords end alone. The king was solemnelie serued and the surnap cast like the feast of a coronation. All things were plentious to strangers that resorted thither. At the masse of Re|quiem were offered the banner & other habillements of honour belonging to Maximilian the emperour late deceassed.
