"When Knighthood Was in Flower or, the Love Story of Charles Brandon and Mary Tudor the King's Sister, and Happening in the Reign of His August Majesty King Henry the Eighth"


The Tewesdaye beyng the x daye of October all the Englishmen
except a fewe that wer officers with the sayde quene were
discharged whiche was a greate sorowe for theim, for some had
serued her longe in the hope of preferment and some that had
honest romes left them to serue her and now they wer out of
seruice, which caused the to take thought in so much, some dyed by
way returning, and some fell mad, but ther was no remedy. After
the English lordes had done ther commission the French kynge
wylled the to take no lenger payne & so gaue to theim good
rewardes and they toke ther leaue of the quene and returned.
Then the Dolphyn of Fraunce called Frauncys duke of Valoys, or
Fraunceys d'Angouleme, caused a solempne iustes to be proclaymed,
which shoulde be kept in Parys in the moneth of Noueber next
ensuyng, and while al these thinges were prepearyng, the Ladye
Mary, the V. daye of Noueber, then beying Sondaye was with greate
solempnitee crowned Queen of Fraunce in the monasterye of Saynct
Denyce, and the Lorde Dolphyn, who was young, but very toward, al
the season held the crowune ouer her hed, because it was of greate
waight, to her greuaunce.
