INTRODUCTION.
A Society, established for the publication of historical and
literary remaims connected with the Palatime counties of
Lancaster amd Chester, could mot fail to direct their early
attention to the history of a persom so illustrious by her
birth, so reputed for the sanctity of her life, so memorable
for her imputed miracles, and whose mame is familiar to
every inhabitant of these palatime coumties as the patroness
saint of the cathedral of the diocese. Amongst the earliest
notices issued by the Society was an announcement of their
intentiom to publish a reprint of Hemry Bradshaw's Life amd
History of St. Werburgh from the very rare quarto of
1521, primted by Pynson. That intentiom is mow fulfilled
by the present volume, comtaining the poem of which
“ Harry Braddeshaa, of Chestre Abbay, monke,” is partly
author, partly translator.
In the “ prologe of the translatour," as he calls himself,
he says, p. 4.
I purpose to wryte a legende good and true
And translate a lyfe into Englysshe doubtles ;
amd at p. 26 gives am account of the work, which he
purposes to translate.
For as declareth, the true Passyonary
A boke wherin, her holy lyfe wryten is
Whiche boke remayneth, in Chester monastery
iv INTRODUCTION.
I purpose by helpe of Jhesu kynge ofblys
In any wyse to reherse, any sentence amys
But folowe the legende, and true hystory
After an humble style, and from it lytell vary.
These variations, be they ** lytell” or much, seem to be
founded upom histories and chronicles, which have beem
published, and are accessible to all who choose to trace
the authorities for some of these legendary notices.
Unto this rude werke, myne auctours these shalbe
Eyrst the true legende, and the venerable Bede
Mayster Alfrydus, and Wyllyam Malvysburye
Gyrarde Polycronycon, and other mo in deed. p. 5.
The “true legemde " is doubtless the * true Passyonary”
mentiomed above, which is afterwards called the ** thrid
Passionary; ”
And as the history, of her lyfe doth expresse
In a boke nominat, the thrid passionary; p. 120.
which also seems to have contained an account of more
miracles tham the translator was perhaps quite prepared to
believe, or at least did not deem it quite expedient to
publish at this time.
To expresse all myracles, written in the place
In a boke nominate, the thrid passionarye
It wolde require, a longe tyme and space
To the reders tedious, (nomervayle sothly)
Where we omytte, to writte of them specially
But touched in generall, unto your audience. p. 197.
The poem is preceded by a “ Prologe in honour and laude
INTRODUCTION. v
of Sainte Werburge and to the prayse of the translatour
by J. T.,” whose name and profession we have beem as little
able to ascertain as was Herbert, when he first noticed this
work.
Of the main body of the poem then Bradshaw must be
considered as a translator from a work,* in the Latim lan-
guage, them remaiming in the library of Chester monastery,
called the true Or third Passionary, inserting such addi-
tional matter as he was pleased to extract from the various
chronicles which he mentioms. He was however mot merely
a translator, but am author, for the “ Prologes" to the first
and second books, pp. 1 and 134, ** A litell orisom or prayer
to the blessed virgine Saymte Werburge," p. 205, and the
“ breve conclusion,” p. 207, are certainly original composi-
tions of Bradshaw himself, and it is not improbable that he
was also author of chapters 21 and 22, in the secomd book,
being “ A breve rehersall of the myracles of Saymt Wer-
burge after her translaciom to Chestre," and ** A charitable
* The author of the original work here translated is not known, nor was
Bradshaw himself acquainted with his name, for in ** a Balade to the
auctour,” published with the translation the very year in which it was con-
cluded, is mentioned (p. 210) that “ uncertayne was his name.”
Warton observes ** a great translator of the lives of the Saxon Saints
from the Saxon, in which language only they were then extant, into Latin,
was Goscelinus, a monk of St. Austin at Canterbury, who passed from
France into England about 1058. Among the rest were the lives of St.
Werburgh, St. Ethelred and St. Sexburgh, most probably the legends
which were Bradshaw's originals.” This conjecture can scarcely be
reconciled to the above assertion with regard to the original author, that
** uncertayne was his name.”
vi INTRODUCTION.
mociom amd desyre to all the inhabytauntes withim the
Countie Palatime of Chestre for the monasterie."
The poem is writtem in stanzas of seven lines each, of
which the first and third, the secomd, fourth and fifth, and
the sixth and seventh, rhyme with each other. To this
arrangement there are a few exceptions ; at p. 153 is a
stanza ofeight limes, of which the first and third, the second,
fourth, fifth and seventh, the sixth and eighth, rhyme with
each other. At pp. 115, 116, 126, are three stanzas simi-
larly arranged, in which three cases however the last line is
Latin. Chapters 21, 22 and 23, and two balades at pp. 211
and 212 are all writtem in similar stanzas of eight limes,
Throughout the poem, in order to produce, in reading,
anything of rythmical intonation, the accent must be laid
strongly upon the very last syllable of the line, even in cases
where, according to the modern mode of pronunciation, the
last syllable is as little dwelt upon as possible. Every
stanza affords instances of this intonation, and it is scarcely
necessary to refer to any particular passages, but in p. 125,
the following illustrations may be observed, — gostly and
remedy, parte and trinite, odour, savour, hour ; body,
clergy, verily, &c. &c.
The Latin language was probably very familiar to our
author, for the reader can scarcely fail to be struck with
the frequent introduction of quaint Latinisms. At p. 150
we find * With grace circumfulced and lyghtmed was Eng-
land." In the same page he talks of faith enduring ** with-
out recidivation," and in p. 152, of faith being “ remanent ;"
we find * promyttynge," p. 163, 166 ; * facundious," p. 209,
INTROIDUCTION. vii
210 ; ** desydery,” 56, and several others may be discovered
by consulting the glossary. The greater number of these
words it will be perceived were derived directly from the
Latin, but mot unfrequently, as is most usual in writers of
that age, the Latinisms appear to have been introduced
under the influence of the French lamguage upom our own,
rather than directly from the Latin. At p. 153, he speaks
of St. Alban's monastery beimg edified, from edifier ; p. 1 15,
of this life being caduce ; p. 137, of the abbey of Chester
envired with walles; baptism is written baptym, baptime ;
convent, covent ; sautynge, from assaut ; and dygne of
dutye, from digne. The terminatiom of the past tense, de-
rived from the Latim participle, is of almost universal oc-
currence, as maculate, preparate, coronate, nominat, tumu-
late, &c. &c.
At pp. 147, 158 and 179 are quotations from Henry of
Huntingdom, which contaim some errors ; it is as well there-
fore to reprint them here from Savile's editiom of that
author.

The first book of this poem contaims an account of the
descent of St. Werburge from four royal families, her charac-
ter, the history of her life and those of some of her more im-
mediate relations ; it also relates the primcipal circumstances
of her death and subsequent removal and condition of her
"body. The second book is chiefly devoted to the circumstan-
ces which connected her with the city of Chester, of which
she was considered the patron saint. The author at p. 4
calls her prioress and lady of the Abbey of Chester : but
she was never so, except under the general appointment of
Ethelred, who made her (p. 85)
INTRODUCTION. ix
lady ruler and presydent

Within his realme.
Ethelred indeed (p. 86)
Edyfyed a collage chyrche, notable and famous
In the subbarbes of Chester, pleasaunt and beauteous
In honour of God, and the Baptyst Saynt Johan,
but it does mot appear that she had any authority in this
establishment, and indeed this foundatiom had not amy com-
nexion with the Abbey of Chester.
It is probable that he calls her “ Pryores” of the Abbey
merely because she was enshrined there, and was considered
the patroness saint of that monastery and city.
To this imputed patronage of the city and its religious
establishments we doubtless owe the existence of this poem ;
for when the translator felt that as “ a relygyous man,
losynge oftyme could not him excuse, and that for avoiding
such great folyshenes he ressolved
Some small treatyse to wryte brevely” p. 4.
there cam be little doubt that he was led to the choice of his
subject from a desire to do honour to
Blessed vyrgyn Werburge, my holy patronesse, p. 5.
indeed he acknowledges as much in his ** breve conclusiom,”
The cause movyng us, this werke to begyn
It was to avoyde, slouth and idelnes
And most for the love, of this holy virgin
Whiche is our sufferayn lady and patrones. p. 209.

X. INTRODUCTIO N.
The reader will probably mot be displeased that this
poem should be accompanied by Warton's criticisms and
estimate of its character, which are, therefore, here quoted
at length.
“ Henry Bradshaw has rather larger pretensioms to poeti-
cal fame than William of Nassington, although scarcely
deserving the name of am original writer in any respect.
Before the year 1500 he wrote the Life of St. Werburge, a
daughter of a King of the Mercians, in English verse. This
poem, beside the devout deeds and passion of the poet's
patroness saint, comprehends a variety of other subjects ;
as a description of the kingdom of the Mercians, the lives
of Saint Ethelred and Saint Werburge, the foundation of the
city of Chester amd a chronicle of our Kings. It is col-
lected from Bede, Alfred of Beverley, Malmesbury, Gerardus
Cambrensis, Higden's Polychronicon, and the Passionaries
of the female Saints Werburgh, Ethelred and Sexburgh,
which were kept for public edification in the choir of our
poet's monastery. Bradshaw is not so fond of relating
visioms and miracles as his argument seems to promise.
Although concerned with three saints, he deals more in
plaim facts tham in the fictions of religious romance ; and,
on the whole, his performamce is rather historical than
legendary. This is remarkable in an age when it was the
fashiom to turn history into legend.
“ His fabulous origim of Chesteris not so much to be im-
puted to his own want of veracity as to the authority of his
voucher, Ramulph Higden, a celebrated chronicler, his
countryman, and a monk of his owm abbey. He supposes
INTRODUCTION. xi
that Chester, called by the ancient Britons Caer Lleon, or,
the city of legions was foumded by Leon gaur, a giant,
corrupted from Leon vaur, a great legion.
The founder of Chestre, as sayth Policronicon
Was Lleon Gauer, a myghty stronge gyaunt
Whiche buyided caves, and dongions many one
No goodly buyldyng, propre ne pleasaunt — p. 148.
he adds with equal attention to etymology,
But the Kynge Leil, a Briton sure and valiaunt
Was founder of Chestre, by pleasaunt buyldyng
And of Caerleil, also named by the kynge. p. 148.
But a greater degree of credulity would perhaps have af-
forded him a better claim to the character of a poet; and,
at least we should have conceived a more advantageous
opiniom of his imagination had he been less frugal of those
traditiomary fables, in which ignoramce and superstitiom had
clothed every head of his argument.
“The most splendid passage of this poem is the descrip-
tiom ofthe feast (ch. xvi. pp. 58—65) made by King Wulfer
in the Hall of the Abbey of Ely when his daughter Wer-
burge was admitted to the veil in that monastery ; among
other curious anecdotes of ancient manners, the subjects of
the tapestry with which the hall was hung, and of the songs
sung by the minstrels on this solemn occasiom, are givem at
large.
“ If there be amy merit of imagination or invemtion to
which the poet has a claim in this descriptiom, it altogether
consists in the application. The circumstances themselves
xii INTRODUCTION.
are faithfully copied by Bradshaw from what his owm age
actually presented. In this respect, I meam as a picture of
ancient life, the passage is interesting, and for no other
reasom. The versification is infinitely inferior to Lydgate's
WOrSt mammer. -
“ Bale, a violent reformer, observes that our poet was a
person remarkably pious forthe times in which he flourished.
This is am indirect satire on the monks and om the period
which preceded the Reformation. I believe it will readilybe
granted that our author had more piety than poetry. His
prologe contains humble professions of his inability to treat
lofty subjects and to please light readers.”
Warton's remarks are too disparagimg ; Dibdim, who gives
an extended account of the poem, forms a higher estimate
of Bradshaw's merit. “ It is presumed,” he observes,
“ that his name will stand among the foremost in the list of
the poets of the period wherein he wrote. His descriptioms
are oftentimes happy as well as minute ; and there is a tome
of moral purity and rational piety in his thoughts, enriched
by the legendary lore of romance that renders many pas-
sages of his poem exceedingly interesting.”
If it is not allowed to rank Bradshaw, according to
Dibdim's estimate, among the foremost in the list of
poets of his period, it is unjust to place him in so low
a rank among his cotemporaries as the severity of
Warton seems to demand. There is a tone of moral
principle and devotional piety so unaffectedly pervading the
whole volume, and so easily and maturally introduced, as to
impress the reader with the convictiom that they had am

themselves without an effort and almost umconsciously im all
his expressions. There is much strength and apparent sim-
cerity in his numerous exhortations to piety amd devotiom.
In his “ charitable mociom," (ch. xxii. p. 199 et seq.) he
urges his readers to benevolence and to the support of the
monastery, with great power, and sets before them every
variety of motive that could be supposed to influence persons
under the peculiar circumstances in which each might be
placed. He appeals to the piety of their forefathers, amd
endeavours to work upon all their passioms, affectioms and
emotions, upom their love and fear, gratitude and duty.
His familiarity with the Latin langnage has beem already
moticed, and the reader cam scarcely have failed to observe
his intimate acquaintance with the sacred writings, mu-
merous scripture personages are adduced as models and
examples of the various virtues, which adorm the christiam
character ; and the language of scripture is constantly ap-
parent in his exhortations and descriptions, especially where
the character and acts of St. Werburge are his subjects.
Moral maxims and proverbs, the concentrated wisdom of
ages, seem to have been familiar to him, and may be de-
tected in many of his pages. If

Bradshaw observes,

plifies the use of the word * lad " to signify a person of low
degree,
by a proverb auncyent
A lad to wedde a lady is an inconvenyent. p. 38.
The sententious brevity of a proverb is sometimes lost
and weakened by adaptimg it to the metre of his poem ; Man
proposes, God disposes, is expamded into
Tho mankynde prepose his mynde to fulfyll
Yet God dysposeth all thynge at his Wyll. p. 119.
The remark of Wartom is probably just, that had he had
a greater degree of credulity he would have had a greater
chamce of being poetical ; credulity imdeed does mot seem to
be his failing, for though he records mamy miracles of St.
Werburge and with some appearamce of beliefim their reality,
it is quite clear that he omits many marvellous tales, which
might have beem supplied by the original work, but which
would be to the ** reders tedious (no mervayle sothly)," amd
to which he was mot himself quite prepared to give full cre-
dit. It is true that he gives more, many more, tham suffi-
cient to satisfy any modern readers ; but the Reformation
was approaching, the shadows of coming events were already
apparent, and were exerting their almost unobserved influ-
ence upom the feelings and opinions of the people, amd Brad-
shaw had evidently less faith in the miraculous legends of
his monastery, tham had been enjoyed by his predecessors ;
in truth there appears to be occasionally a lurking humour
in his descriptiom, which betrays as much disbelief in his
own narrative, as the temper of the times, and the still lin-
gerimg credulity of his cotemporaries would permit. If his
INTRODUCTION. XV
owm good sense amd the growing enfranchisement of the pe-
riod from the bondage of superstitiom, and papal impositioms,
checked in him any tendency to imaginative flights amd
poetic paroxysms ; it will not be denied that he frequently
exhibits considerable strength of expressiom in his language,
amd great powers in his vivid and graphic descriptioms.
A goodly specimen of railing may be found in Book I. ch. x.
where St. Ermemylde, St. Werburge and her brothers se-
verely rebuke Werbode for his * grevous presumpcyon " in
aspiring to the hand of St. Werburge. Many of the mira-
6
culous cures are described with great force ; and it will be
difficult to find, im amy cotemporary author, so lively, pic-
turesque and humorous a narrative as that of the unhappy
geese of Wedon
who went
Mekely as yf they had reason naturall
Unto her presence,
amd with
Theyr wynges traylynge entred into the hall. p. 98, 99.
Had his merits as a writer been less tham they really are,
his meek and humble apology for his defects, which he puts
forth in his ** breve conclusion," would deprecate all seve-
rity of criticism. He had clearly not a musical ear, his ver-
sification is mot smooth and harmomious, and his naturally
defcctive appreciatiom of rythmical intonation has been much
exaggerated by the awkward and difficult arrangement of
the stanza which he has adopted. With an easier metre
his limes might have flowed with more ease and grace, and
would have better conciliated the favour of his readers.
xvi : INTRODUCTION.
Rugged however and harsh as his verse may be, and low
as may be the estimation of Bradshaw as a poet, the amiable
and pious tone of the whole poem cannot but impress the
mind with agreeable feelings, and excite admiratiom amd
affection towards him as a mam and a christian.
Of Henry Bradsha, Braddshaa or Bradshaw, who calls
himself, p. 3, “ a religious mam," i. e. am ecclesiastic, nothing
more is known than what is recorded by Anthony Wood,
who says, “ he was born in the auncient town of Westchester,
commonly called the city of Chester, and being much ad-
dicted to religion and learming, when a youth, was received
among the Benedictime monks of St. Werburgh's monastery
in the said city. Thence at riper years he was sent to
Gloucester college in the suburb ofOxon, where after he had
passed his course in theology among the movices of his
order he returmed to his cell at St. Werburge and in his
elder years wrote, De antiquitate et magníficentia urbis
Cestriæ chronicon, etc. amd translated from Latin into Eng-
lish a book which he thus entitled, The life qf the glorious
J^irgin St. J/erburge : Also many miracles that God had
shewed for her. Londom, ] 521, 4to. He died in fifteen
humdred and thirteen (5 Henry 8) and was buried in his
monastery, leaving then behind him other matters to poste-
rity, but the subject of which they treat I know not."—
Athen. Oxon. edit. by Dr. Bliss, v. I. p. 18.
The date of his death is expressly stated in * A balade to
the auctor,” which is appended to the poem, by some um-
knowm friend, and, probably, monk of the same monastery.

Of the works of Bradshaw above mentioned or alluded to,
that “ De antiquitate et magnificentia,” etc., nothing is now
known, but it is not improbable that some fragments dis-
persed in various MSS. descriptive of this city may have beem
extracted from his chronicle. The life of the glorious
virgim St. Werburge is the work which is here reprinted.
Of the ** other matters to posterity " nothing more is posi-
tively knowm to us than to Wood, but Mr. Herbert was in pos-
session of a poem, “ The lyfe of St. Radegunde,” also primted
by Pynsom, of which he says, “ although the mame of the
author or translator of this book does mot decidedly appear
on the face of it, yet om comparing it with the Life of St.
Werburgeit may readily be perceived that both were penned
by the same person, Henry Bradshaw ; but hitherto omitted
im every list of his works.” Typographical Antiquities,
p. 294.
Mr Cowper in his Summary of the life of St. Werburgh
quotes more tham omce the Latin life of this lady by Bradshaw,
and these extracts he derives from Leland's Collectanea, but
where this collector discovered his original authority does not
appear. Mr. Cowper is probably mistakem in ascribing the
work to Bradshaw's own pen ; it is much more probable
C
xviii INTROIDUCTION.
that the extracts are derived from the original chronicle
or passionary, which Bradshaw translated into English verse,
for he has himself distinctly stated that his poem was a
translation from a Latin history preserved in his monastery ;
he gives mo intimation of his having written it himself, and
it is also stated that the name of the original author was um-
known.
Although this work is of very great rarity, it is not so much
so as was at one time supposed, The earliest mention of
the book, which we have discovered, is by Maittaire, who in
1741 inserts it in a list of books not before noticed. In 1749,
Ames in his Typographical Antiquities, mentioms the work,
and so describes it as to leave no doubt of his having had
a copy before him. Notwithstanding all this, Dr. Foote
Gower in his “ Sketch of Materials for the History of
Cheshire ” in 1771, doubts the existence of such a printed
volume ; and in a subsequent advertisement, arguing upom
the evidence for and against the existence of such a work,
adds “ no possible enquiries of mine have been able to dis-
cover the least trace of it, in any private as well as in any
public repository,” and closes the difficulty with the good
humoured expression of Sir Roger de Coverly, “ that much
may be said om both sides.”
There are, however, at least five copies in existence ; one
is in the Minster Library at York, and my kind friend Mr.
Davies informs me that it is im modern binding, that it is
imperfect at the beginning, wanting the first 22 pages, the
first present leaf being C. 1. On page 23, that it is otherwise

cleam and in good preservation. It once belonged to Dr.
Marmaduke Fothergill, and in the margim of one of the
leaves near the close of the book, appears the name of Gervas
Cliftom, to whom it had at ome time probably belonged.
Two copies are in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, ome of
which had been purchased at Warwick, July 2, 1730, by
Mr. West, at the sale of whose books im 1773, it was bought
by Mr. Gough, for £2. 15s. and with the other treasures of
his collectiom now reposes in the Bodleiam.
The other copy belonging to the same library bears the
autographs offormer owners “ Wylliâ. Watson,” and “ Ri-
chard Cartwright,” “ Homfree,” “ William Peate,” “John,
and Mary Seres,” and om one margin appears ** John . . (cut
off.)
So God me save he is a loute
I put you all out of doute
By me John Beade, draper.”
It was subsequently the property of Selden, from whom it
passed to the Bodleiam.
A fourth copy is in the British Museum. In the sale ca-
talogue of the books of Mr. Martem of Palgrave, in lot 196,
was a Life of St. Werburgh, which is supposed to be the
same copy which came into the Pearson Library, which was
sold im 1788, (lot 2374 the Life of St. Werburgh) and was
bought by Isaac Reed for £1. 38. At his sale in 1807 it
formed lot 6972, and was purchased by I. L., î. e. I. Lochee,
the auctioneer in King Street, Covent Gardem, for £ 18. He
is supposed to have purchased it for Mr. Parke, the editor
and emlarger of Walpole's Royal and Noble Authors, who
XX INTRODUCTION.
afterwards sold it for 28 guineas to Mr. Heber, who inserted
in the volume the following note. * This book is of the
first order of rarity, mot being in the Royal, British Museum,
Bodleian, Spencer, Hunter, Blenheim, or Blandford collec-
tioms, indeed no other copy is known to exist in any repo-
sitory public or private, except one in Mr. Heber's library.
Mr. Heber paid 28 guineas to Mr. P— for his copy 10 years
ago, a time when 5s. went further in the purchase of a
scarce book than a pound sterling does now." This mote
upon a scrap of paper was probably intended as a commu-
nication to some friend, perhaps to Mr. Dibdin, and, after
having been copied for that purpose, was pasted into the
volume as it now appears. At Mr. Heber's sale in 1834 it
was purchased for the British Museum for £ 19. 5s.
The fifth copy is probably the one stated by Herbert, in
his edition of Ames' Typographical Antiquities, to have been
then in his own possession, and which is supposed to have
passed into the hands of Mr. Woodhouse, in whose sale in
1803 it was lot 859, and was sold to Mr. Hill, the prototype
of Paul Pry, for £31. 10s. This gentleman's library, rich in
early poetry, was sold to Messrs. Longman, and Co., and
was the foundation of their “ Bibliotheca Anglo-poetica,”
in which this book was priced£63., and sold to Mr. Midgely,
whose library was brought to the hammer in 1818 at Messrs.
Saunders, when this rare voluine was purchased by Mr.
Hibbert for £42. At this gentleman's sale it was purchased
by Thorpe for £19. 10s., from whom it passed to the library
of Mr. Miller, the present possessor.
INTRODUCTION. xxi
It may be remarked that this work is the earliest, im print,
which refers to Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester, and his digmity
in the earldom, see pp. 181, 182. The passage was cited
in an affidavit made in 1843 in “ the Consistory Court of
Chester," and appears in am Appendix to am appeal from
“ the Chamcery Court of York, in the goods of Anne Roth-
well Wignall, commonly called Amne Rothwell, Spinster,
deceased, in the Judicial Committee of Her Majesty's most
honourable Privy Council.”

A Glossary and Index are added.
The following genealogical tables are drawn up from
the third chapter of the Poem, which professes to trace the
descent of St. Werburge from four * Kynges of this lamde,
and of the riall blodde of Fraunce.” Table V. has beem
compiled from the other four. They do not profess to be
correct genealogies, nor has amy attempt beem made to
reconcile the discrepancies which occur in various chronicles,
mor even in this history. They are merely intended as aids
to the reader by presenting to him, in a tabulur form, that
which the author gives as marrative.
