mons a severe reply : and farther to satisfy the church, and to prove that he was quite in earnest, he ordered a Lollard to be burned before the dissolution of the parliament. 11 We have now related almost all the memorable trans actions of this reign, which was busy and active; but produced few events that deserve to be transmitted to pos- terity. The king was so much employed in ' ’ 141 ' defending his crown, which he had obtained by unwarrantable means, and possessed by a bad title, that he had little leisure to look abroad, or perform any action which might redound to the honour and advantage of the nation. His health declined some months before his death : he was subject to fits, which bereaved him, for the time, of his senses: and though he was yet in the flower of his age, his end was visibly approaching. He eotli Mar. expired at Westminster, in the forty-sixth Death, year of his age, and the thirteenth of his reign. and character of The great popularity which Henry enjoyed the kmg. before he attained the crown, and which had so much aided him in the acquisition of it, was entirely lost many years before the end of his reign; and he go verned his people more by tenor than by affection, more by his own policy than by their sense of duty or allegi ance. When men came to reflect, in cool blood, on the crimes which had led him to the throne; the rebellion against his prince; the deposition of a lawful king, guilty sometimes, perhaps, of oppression, but more frequently of indiscretion ; the exclusion of the true heir; the murder of his sovereign and near relation; these were such enor mities as drew on him the hatred of his subjects, sanctified all the rebellions against him, and made the executions, though not remarkably severe, which he found necessary for die maintenance of his authority, appear cruel as well as iniquitous to the people. Yet, witnout pretending to apologize for these crimes, which must ever be held in detestation, it may be remarked, that he was insensibly led into this blamable conduct by a train of incidents, which few men possess virtue enough to withstand. The injustice with which his predecessor had treated him, in first condemning him to banishment, then despoiling him of his patrimony, made him naturally think of revenge, and of recovering his lost rights; the headlong zeal of the people hurried him into the throne; the care of his own security, as well as his ambition, made him an usurper; and the steps have always been so few between the prisons of princes and their graves, that we need not wonder that Richard’s fate was no exception to the general rule. All these considerations make Henry’s situation, if he retained any sense of virtue, much to lie lamented ; and the in quietude with which he possessed his envied greatness, and the remorses by which, it is said, he was continually haunted, render him an object of our pity, even when seated upon the throne. But it must be owned, that his prudence and vigilance and foresight, in maintaining his power, were admirable : his command of temper remark able : his courage, both military and political, without blemish: and he possessed many qualities which fitted him for his high station, and which rendered his usurpa tion of it, though pernicious in after-times, rather salutary during his own reign, to the English nation. Henry was twice married; by his first wife, Mary de Bohun, daughter and co-heir of the Earl of Hereford, he had four sons; Henry, his successor in the throne, Thomas, Duke of Clarence, John, Duke of Bedford, and Hum phrey, Duke of Gloucester; and two daughters, Blanche and Philippa, the former married to the Duke of Bavaria, the latter to the King of Denmark. His second wife, Jane, whom he married after he was king, and who was daughter of the King of Navarre, and widow of the Duke of Brittany, brought him no issue. By an act of the fifth of this reign, it is made felony to cut out any person’s tongue, or put out his eyes; crimes which, the act says, were very frequent. This savage spirit of revenge denotes a barbarous people; though, perhaps, it was increased by the prevailing factions and civil commotions. Commerce was very little understood in this reign, as in ii Bytner, vol. viii. p. 627. OHerbourne, p. 267. w 4 Henry IV. cap. 15. and 5 Henry IV. cap. 9. all the preceding. In particular, a great jealousy prevailed against merchant strangers; and many restraints were, by law, imposed upon them; namely, that they should lay out in English manufactures or commodities all the money acquired by the sale of their goods; that they should not buy or sell with one another, and that all their goods should be disposed of three months after importation."’ This last clause was found so inconvenient, that it was soon after repealed by parliament. It appears that the expense of this king’s household amounted to the yearly sum of 19,500/. money of that age.* Guicciardini tells us, that the Flemings, in this century, learned from Italy all the refinements in arts, which they taught the rest of Europe. The progress, however, of the arts was still very slow and backward in England. CHAP. XIX. HENRY V. The king’s former disorders—His reformation—The Lollards—Punish ment Cobham—State of France—Invasion of that kingdom-- Battle of Azincour—State of France—New Invasion of France—Assas sination ot the Duke of Burgundy—Treaty of Troye—Marriage of the king—His death—and character—Miscellaneous transactions during this reign. The many jealousies to which Henry IV.’s A D ]4]3 situation naturally exposed him, had so in- The'kini's forin- fected his temper, that he had entertained er d’wnters. unreasonable suspicions with regard to the fidelity of his eldest son; and, during the latter years of his life, he had excluded that prince from all share in public business, and was even displeased to see him at the head of armies, where his martial talents, though useful to the support of government, acquired him a renown, which, he thought, might prove dangerous to his own authority. The active spirit of young Henry, restrained from its proper exercise, broke out into extravagances of every kind; and the riot of pleasure, the frolic of debauchery, the outrage of wine, filled the vacancies of a mind, better adapted to the pur suits of ambition and the cares of government. This course of life threw him among companions, whose dis orders, if accompanied with spirit and humour, he indulged and seconded; and he was detected in many sallies, which, to severer eyes, appeared to tally unworthy of his rank and station. There even remains a tradition, that, when heated with liquor and jollity, he scrupled not to accompany his riotous associates in attacking the passen gers on the streets and highways, and despoiling them of their goods ; and he found an amusement in the incidents which the terror and regret of these defenceless people produced on such occasions. This extreme of dissolute ness proved equally disagreeable to his father, as that eager application to business which had at first given him occa sion of jealousy ; and he saw, in his son’s behaviour, the same neglect of decency, the same attachment to low company, which had degraded the personal character of Richard, and which, more than all his errors in govern ment, had tended to overturn his throne. But the nation, in general, considered the young prince with more indul gence ; and observed so many gleams of generosity, spirit, and magnanimity, breaking continually through the cloud which a wild conduct threw over his character, that they never ceased hoping for his amendment; and they ascribed all the weeds, which shot up in that rich soil, to the want of proper culture and attention in the king and his minis ters. There happened an incident which encouraged these agreeable views, and gave much occasion for favourable reflections to all men of sense and candour. A riotous companion of the prince’s had been indicted before Gas coigne, the chief justice, for some disorders; and Henry was not ashamed to appear at the bar with the criminal, in order to give him countenance and protection. Finding that his presence had not overawed the chief justice, he proceeded to insult the magistrate on his tribunal; but x Bymer, tom. viii. p. 610.
