Actus Primus, Scaena Prima.
Enter King Iohn, Queene Elinor, Pembroke, Essex, and Sa- lisbury, with the Chattylion of France.
Now say
Chatillion,

Thus (after greeting) speakes the King of France, In my behauiour to the Maiesty, The borrowed Maiesty of
England
heere.
A strange beginning: borrowed Maiesty?
Silence (good mother) heare the Embassie.
Philip

France,
in right and true behalfe Of thy deceased brother,
Geffreyes
sonne,
Arthur
Plantaginet,
laies most lawfull claime To this faire Iland, and the Territories: To
Ireland, Poyctiers, Aniowe, Torayne, Maine,
Desiring thee to lay aside the sword Which swaies vsurpingly these seuerall titles, And put the same into yong
Arthurs
hand, Thy Nephew, and right royall Soueraigne.
What followes if we disallow of this?
The proud controle of fierce and bloudy warre, To inforce these rights, so forcibly with-held,
Heere haue we war for war, & bloud for bloud, Controlement for controleme . . .
