The king after he had gotten a great masse of monie togither, hauing
pitie on the people, which oppressed with the sharpe procéedings of
his gréedie officers, cried daily to God for vengeance, ment to haue
depriued them of their offices (as some write) & that suph monie as
had béene violentlie exacted, should haue béene restored and deliuered
againe, if he had not bene preuented by death. And yet by his last
will he commanded that it should be dulie and trulie performed, but in
the meane season many mens coffers were emptied. [¶ Thomas Kneisworth
maior of London for this yeare, of his owne goods, builded the conduit
at Bishopsgate. He gaue to the fishmongers certeine tenements, for
the which they be bound to find foure scholers that studie art; two
at Oxford, and two at Cambridge, euerie of them foure pounds the
yeare. They be bound also to giue to twelue aged poore people of their
companie, to euerie one of them at Bartholomew tide a winter garment
for euer. Also to giue to the prisoners of Ludgate and Newgate euerie
yeare fortie shillings, &c. The first of Ianuarie in the night, the
kings chamber was fired at Richmond, the which might not be quenched,
till manie curteins, carpets, rich beds, and much stuffe was consumed.
[Sidenote: An. Reg. 21.]
[Sidenote: 1506.]
[Sidenote: Philip archduke of Austrich landeth in the west parts of
England.]
In this verie season, and the yeare of our Lord 1506, Elizabeth quéene
of Castile died without issue male, by reason whereof the inheritance
of Castile (bicause that kingdome is not partible) descended to ladie
Iane hir eldest daughter by king Ferdinando, the which was maried to
Philip archduke of Austrich. Wherefore the yeare following, about the
sixt day of Ianuarie, hauing a great nauie prepared, he intituled now
king of Castile, sailed out of Flanders with his wife towards Spaine;
but by a mightie tempest of wind and foule weather, the whole nauie
was dispersed and sparkled abroad in diuerse places on the coasts of
England. The kings ship with two other vessels were blowne by tempest
on the west part of the realme, to the port of Weimouth in Dorsetshire.
The king being wearied with the tossing of the seas, as one not
accustomed thereto, contrarie to the mind of his councellors, came on
land to refresh himselfe.
