Carew, Richard, 1555-1620

"The Survey of Cornwall And an epistle concerning the excellencies of the English tongue"


In Perin was Glasney Colledge, founded [1256.] by Walter Brounscomb,
& benefited by Iohn Graundson, Bishops of Excester [1327.], which See
possesseth faire reuenues thereabouts.
Vpon another creeke on the same side, Carclew hath (after the Cornish
maner) welneere metamorphosed the name of Master Bonithon, his owner,
into his owne. He maried the daughter of Viuian, his father
of Killigrew, his graundfather of Erisy, and beareth A. a Cheuron
betweene 3, Floures de luce. S.
With any memorable act or accident, concerning this hauen, I cannot
acquaint you, before my parting therefrom, saue onely, that Philip,
Arch-duke of Austriche, during his voyage from Netherland towards
Spayne (his wiues Kingdome) was weather-driuen into Weymouth, and,
with a kinde constraint, receyued a more royall, then welcome
entertainment, at the hands of King Henrie the 7. from which hee
could not free himself, but by redeeming his libertie, with
De la Pooles captiuity. This accomplished, he made choyce to take
ship again at Falmouth, that so by the shortest cut, hee might leaue
least power in fortune, to thwart him any second incumbrance.
