English poem
Nor is this clayme for women to succeede
Nor is this clayme for women to succeede, (Gainst which they would your right to France debarre) A thing so new, that it so much should neede Such opposition, as though fetcht from farre, By Pepin this is prou'd, as by a deede, Deposing Cheldrick, by a fatall warre, By Blythild dar'd his title to aduance, Daughter to Clothar, first so nam'd of France.
