1614.] THE KING OF DENMARK. 167 



king and his subjects, occasioned many unseemly 

 wrangles at Newmarket in after times. 



His Majesty was also at Newmarket in July,* 

 when he entertained the King of Denmark with 

 hunting, bear-baiting, etc. ; and in November we 

 read that '* Mr. Secretary goes next week to the 

 king at Newmarket, who, upon Saturday last, had 

 a dangerous fall with his horse hunting, yet without 

 any great hurt more than a bruise in his side 

 and arm, by the weight of his horse that lay upon 

 him ; " and that " some unkind and rough words passed 

 lately 'twixt the Earl of Montgomery and Lord 

 Walden'*^ about their hunting matches. "f In November 

 and December the king was again residing at New- 

 market, when many of the subordinate officials had to 

 lodge out of the precincts of the palace, which appears 

 to have been crowded to excess. | The weather was 

 " very foul," and beyond the creation of several 

 knights, no further incidents worth mentioning occurred 



* The king's visit at Newmarket, Theobalds, and Royston extended to 

 March 5 (Bundle 4, m. 26 d). It seems his second sojourn extended into 

 the month of August : —
