In this very season Charles the French King (age 22), received [his future wife] lady Anne (age 15) as his pupil into his hands, and with great solemnity her espoused, having with her for her dower the whole country of Brittany. And so by this means the Britons became subject to the French King. Maximilian (age 33), being certified of this, fell into a great rage and agony, for it he was not content with the forsaking and refusing of his daughter lady Margaret (age 12), but also had taken and ravished away from him his assured wife lady Anne duchess of Brittany (age 15). And calling upon God for vengeance and punishment for such an heinous and execrable fact, cried out and railed on him, wishing him a thousand deaths. Yet after that he was pacified, and came to himself again, and had gathered his wits together, he thought it was most expedient to vindicate and revenge his honour and dignity so manifestly touched, with the dint of sword. And being in this mind, sent certain Ambassadors to King Henry (age 35) with his letters, desiring him with all diligence to prepare an army, and he himself would do likewise, to invade the French Kings realms with fire, sword and blood.

After the message was declared, there came without any delay an huge army of men, as well of the low sort and commonalty as other noble men, harnessed and armed to battle, partly glad to help their price and to do him service and partly to buckle with the Frenchmen, with whom the Englishmen very willingly desire to cope and fight in open battle.

Hall's Chronicle 1492. When this diabolical Duchess had framed her cloth mete for the market, and imagined that all things was ready and prepared for the confusion of King Henry, suddenly she was informed that the said King of England prepared a puissant army aganst Charles the French King. Then she considering the opportunity of the time, as who would say, a time wished and a day desired to achieve and bring to passe her olde malicious and cantarde inventions, which always nothing less minded than peace and tranquility, and nothing more desired than dissention, civil war and destruction of King Henry. Wherefore she sent Perkyn Werbeck, her new invented Mawmet first into Portugal, and so craftily into the realm of Ireland, to the intent that he being both witty and wily might move, inveigle and provoke the rude and rustic Irish nation (being more of nature euclyived [?] to rebellion then to reasonable order) to a new conflict and a seditious commotion. This worshipful Perkin, arriving in Ireland, whether it were more by his crafty wit, or by the malicious and beastly exhortation of the saltiage Irish governors, within short space entered so far into their favours, and so seriously persuaded and allured them to his purpose, that the greatest lords and princes of the country, adhibited such faith and credit to his words, as that thing had bene true in deed, which he untruly with false demonstrations set forth and divulged. And as though he had bene the very son of King Edward, they honoured, exalted and applauded him with all reverence and due honour, promising to him aid, comfort and assistance of all things to the feat of war, necessary and appertaining.
Hall's Chronicle 1492. In the mean season these news were related to Charles the Freeh King, then being in displeasure with King Henry, which without delay sent for Perkin into Ireland to the intent to send him against the King of England, which was invading France (as you before have heard). This Fleming Perkin was not a little joyful of this message, thinking by this only request to be exalted into heaven, when he was called to the familiarity and acquaintance of Kings and Princes. And so with all diligence sailed into France, with a very small navy, not so small as smally furnished. And coming to the King’s presence was of him royally accepted, and after a princely fashion entertained, and had a guard to him assigned, whereof was governor the Lord Congreshal. And to him at Paris [Map] resorted Sir George Neville bastard, Syr John Taylor, Rowland Robinson and an hundred English rebels. But after that a peace, as before is said was appointed and concluded betwixt him and the King of England, the aid King Charles dismissed the young man, and would no longer keep him. But some men say which were there attending on him, that he fearing that King Charles, would deliver him to the King of England, beguiled the lord Congreshal, and fled away from Paris by night. But whether he departed without the French King’s consent or dis-assent, he demeaned in his expectation, and in manner in despair, returned again to the Lady Margaret his first foolish foundation.
