216 HISTORY OF ENGLAND. [A. D. 1414.—Chap. XIX. Wickliffites, which they feared threw disgrace on so good a cause. This turn of thought appears evidently in the proceedings of the parliament which was summoned imme diately after the detection of Cobham’s conspiracy. That assembly passed severe laws against the new heretics. They enacted, that whoever was convicted of Lollardy be fore the ordinary, besides suffering capital punishment, according to the laws formerly established, should also forfeit his lands and goods to the king; and that the chan cellor, treasurer, justices of the two benches, sheriffs, justices of the peace, and all the chief magistrates in every city and borough, should take an oath to use their utmost endeavours for the extirpation of heresy. 0 Yet this very parliament, when the king demanded supply, renewed the offer formerly pressed upon his father, and entreated him to seize all the ecclesiastical revenues, and convert them to the use of the crown.P The clergy were alarmed: they could offer the king no bribe which was equivalent: they only agreed to confer on him all the priories alien, which depended on capital abbeys in Normandy, and had been bequeathed to these abbeys, when that province remained united to England : and Chicheley, now Archbishop of Canterbury, endeavoured to divert the blow, by giving occupation to the king, and by persuading him to under take a war against France, in order to recover his lost rights to that kingdom.<i It was the dying injunction of the late king to his son, not to allow the English to remain long in peace, which was apt to breed intestine commotions; but to employ them in foreign expeditions, by which the prince might acquire honour; the nobility, in sharing his dangers, might attach themselves to his person ; and all the restless spirits find occupation for their inquietude. The natural disposi tion of Henry sufficiently inclined him to follow this ad vice, and the civil disorders of France, which had been prolonged beyond those of England, opened a full career to his ambition. A. D. 1415. The death of Charles V. which followed state of France, soon after that of Edward III., and the youth of his son, Charles VI., put the two kingdoms for some time in a similar situation ; and it was not to be appre hended, that either of them, during a minoritv, would be able to make much advantage of the weakness of the other. The jealousies also between Charles’s three uncles, the Dukes of Anjou, Berri, and Burgundy, had distracted the affairs of France rather more than those between the Dukes of Lancaster, York, and Gloucester, Richard’s three uncles, disordered those of England ; and had carried off the at tention of the French nation from any vigorous enterprise against foreign states. But in proportion as Charles ad vanced in years, the factions were composed; his two uncles, the Dukes of Anjou and Burgundy, died; and the king himself, assuming the reins of government, discovered symptoms of genius and spirit, which revived the drooping hopes of his country. This promising state of affairs was not of long duration: the unhappy prince fell suddenly into a fit of frenzy, which rendered him incapable of exer cising his authority ; and though he recovered from this disorder, he was so subject to relapses, that his judgment was gradually but sensibly impaired, and no steady plan of government could be pursued by him. The adminis tration of affairs was disputed between his brother, Lewis, Duke of Orleans, and his cousin-german, John, Duke of Burgundy : the propinquity to the crown pleaded in favour of the former : the latter, who, in right of his mother, had inherited the county of Flanders, which he annexed to his father s extensive dominions, derived a lustre from his superior power: the people were divided between these contending princes: and the king, now resuming, now dropping his authority, kept the victory undecided, and prevented any regular’settlement of the state by the final prevalence of either party. At length, the Dukes of Orleans and Burgundy, seem ing to be moved by the cries of the nation, and bv the in terposition of common friends, agreed to burv'all past quarrels in oblivion, and to enter into strict amity : they swore before the altar the sincerity of their friendship"; the priest administered the sacrament to both of them; <» 2 tten. V. cap. 7. P Hall, fol. 35. q Ibid. fol. 35, 36. they gave to each other every pledge which could be deemed sacred among men : but all this solemn prepara tion was only a cover for the basest treachery, which was deliberately premeditated by the Duke of Burgundy. He procured his rival to be assassinated in the streets of Paris: he endeavoured for some time to conceal the part which he took in the crime; but being detected, he embraced a resolution still more criminal and more dangerous to so ciety, by openly avowing and justifying it. r The parlia ment itself of Paris, the tribunal of justice, heard the harangues of the duke’s advocate in defence of assassina tion, which he termed tyrannicide; and that assembly, partly influenced by faction, partly overawed by power, pronounced no sentence of condemnation against this detestable doctrine. 5 The same question was afterwards agitated before the council of Constance; and it was with difficulty that a feeble decision, in favour of the contrary opinion, was procured from these fathers of the church, the ministers of peace and of religion. But the mischievous effects of that tenet, had they been before anywise doubt ful, appeared sufficiently from the present incidents. The commission of this crime, which destroyed all trust and security, rendered the war implacable between the French parties, and cut off every means of peace and accommoda tion. The princes of the blood combining with the young Duke of Orleans and his brothers, made violent war on the Duke of Burgundy; and the unhappy king, seized sometimes by one party, sometimes by the other, transfer red alternately to each of them the appearance of legal authority. The provinces were laid waste by mutual de predations : assassinations were every where committed from the animosity of the several leaders; or what was equally terrible, executions were ordered, without any legal or free trial, by pretended courts of judicature. The whole kingdom was distinguished into two parties, the Burgun dians and the Armagnacs; so the adherents of the young Duke of Orleans were called, from the Count of Armag nac, father-in-law to that prince. The city of Paris, dis tracted between them, but inclining more to the Burgun dians, was a perpetual scene of blood and violence; the king and royal family were often detained captives in the hands of the populace; their faithful ministers were but chered or imprisoned before their face; and it was dan gerous for any man, amidst these enraged factions, to be distinguished by a strict adherence to the principles of probity and honour. During this scene of general violence, there rose into some consideration a body of men, which usually makes no figure in public transactions, even during tire most peaceful times; and that was the university of Paris, whose opinion was sometimes demanded, and more fre quently offered, in the multiplied disputes between the parties. The schism, by which the church was at that time divided, and which occasioned frequent controversies in the university, had raised the professors to an unusual degree of importance; and this connexion between lite rature and superstition had bestowed on the former a weight, to which reason and knowledge are not, of them selves, anywise entitled among men. But there was an other society whose sentiments were much more decisive at Paris, the fraternity of butchers, who, under the di rection of their ringleaders, had declared for the Duke of Burgundy, and committed the most violent outrages against the opposite party. To counterbalance their power, the Armagnacs made interest with the fraternity of car penters ; the populace ranged themselves on one side or the other; and the fate of the capital depended on the prevalence of either party. The advantage which might be made of these confusions, was easily perceived in England ; and, according to the maxims which usually prevail among nations, it was de termined to lay hold of the favourable opportunity. Tile late king, who was courted by both the French parties, fomented the quarrel, by alternately sending assistance to each; but the present sovereign, im pelled by the vigour of youth, and the ardour of ambition, determined to push his advantages to a greater length, and to carry violent war into that distracted kingdom. But while he was r Le Lahoureur, liv. xxvii. chap. 23, 24. s> ibid. liv. xxvii. chap. -7. Munstrekt, chap. ,39.
