might safely, they thought, be intrusted with that im portant charge.' The two princes, the Dukes of Bedford and Gloucester, who seemed injured by this plan of government, yet, being persons of great integrity and honour, acquiesced in any appointment which tended to give security to the public; and as the wars in France appeared to be the object of greatest moment, they avoided every dispute which might throw an obstacle in the way of foreign conquests. When the state of affairs between the late or rance, an( j french kings was considered with a superficial eye, every advantage seemed to be on the side of the former; and the total expulsion of Charles appeared to be an event which might naturally be ex pected from the superior power of his competitor. Though Henry was yet in his infancy, the administration was devolved on the Duke of Bedford, the most accomplished prince of his age; whose experience, prudence, valour, and generosity, qualified him for his high office, and enabled him both to maintain union among his friends, and to gain the confidence of his enemies. The whole power of England was at his command: he was at the head of armies inured to victory: he was seconded by the most renowned generals of the age, the Earls of Somerset, Warwick, Salisbury, Suffolk, and Arundel, Sir John Talbot, and Sir John Fastolfe: and besides Guienne, the ancient inheritance of England, he was master of the capital, and of almost all the northern pro vinces, which were well enabled to furnish him with supplies both of men and money, and to assist and sup port his English forces. But Charles, notwithstanding the present inferiority of his power, possessed some advantages, derived partly from his situation, partly from his personal character, which promised him success, and served, first to control, then to overbalance, the superior force and opulence of his enemies. He was the true and undoubted heir of the monarchy: all Frenchmen, who knew the interests or desired the independence of their country, turned their eyes towards him as its sole resource : the exclusion given him by the imbecility of his father, and the forced or pre cipitate consent of the states, had plainly no validity : that spirit of faction, which had blinded the people, could not long hold them in so gross a delusion : their national and inveterate hatred against the English, the authors of all their calamities, must soon revive, and inspire them with indignation at bending their necks under the yoke of that hostile people: great nobles and princes, accus tomed to maintain an independence against their native sovereigns, would never endure a subjection to strangers: and though most of the princes of the blood were, since the fatal battle of Azincour, detained prisoners in Eng land, the inhabitants of their demesnes, their friends, their vassals, all declared a zealous attachment to the king, and exerted themselves in resisting the violence of foreign invaders. Charles himself, though onlv in his twentieth year, was of a character well calculated to become the object of these benevolent sentiments; and, perhaps, from the favour which naturally attends youth, was the more likely, on account of his tender age, to acquire the good-will of his native subjects. He was a prince of the most friendly and benign disposition, of easy and familiar manners, and of a just and sound, though not a very vigorous, under standing. Sincere, generous, affable, he engaged, from affection, the services of his followers, even while his low fortunes might make it their interest to desert him; and the lenity of his temper could pardon in them those sallies of discontent to which princes in his situation are so fre quently exposed. The love of pleasure often seduced him into indolence; but. amidst all his irregularities, the goodness of his heart still shone forth; and, by exerting at intervals his courage and activity, he proved, that his general remissness proceeded not from the want either of a just spirit of ambition, or of personal valour. Though the virtues of this amiable prince lay some time in obscurity, the Duke of Bedford knew that his title alone made him formidable, and that every foreign c Hall, fol. 83. Monstrelet, vol. ii. p. £7- assistance would be requisite, ere an English regent could hope to complete the conquest of France ; an enterprise which, however it might seem to be much advanced, was still exposed to many and great difficulties. The chief circumstance which had procured to the English all their tresent advantages, was the resentment of the Duke of Burgundy against Charles, and as that prince seemed intent rather on gratifying his passion than consulting his interests, it was the more easy for the regent, by demon strations of respect and confidence, to retain him in the alliance of England. He bent therefore all his endeavours to that purpose: he gave the duke every proof of friend ship and regard: he even offered him the regency of France, which Philip declined: and that he might cor roborate national connexions by private ties, he concluded his own marriage with the Princess of Burgundy, which had been stipulated by the treaty of Arras. Being sensible, that next to the alliance _ of Burgundy, the friendship of the Duke of ’ Brittany was of the greatest importance towards forward ing the English conquests; and that, as the provinces of France, already subdued, lay between the dominions of these two princes, he could never hope for any security, without preserving his connexions with them; he was very intent on strengthening himself also from that quarter. The Duke of Brittany, having received many just reasons of d spleasure from the ministers of Charles, had already acceded to the treaty of Troye, and had, with other vassals of the crown, done homage to Henry V. in quality of heir to the kingdom: but as the regent knew that the duke was much governed by his brother, the Count of Richemont, he endeavoured to fix his friendship, by paying court, and doing services to this haughty and ambitious prince. Arthur, Count of Richemont, had been taken prisoner at the battle of Azincour, had been treated with great indulgence by the late king, and had even been permitted on his parole to take a journey into Brittany, where the state of affairs required his presence. The death of that victorious monarch happened before Riche- r[h A rj| mont’s return; and this prince pretended, ‘ that, as his word was given personally to Henry V. he was not bound to fulfil it towards his son and successor: a chicane which the regent, as lie could not force him to compliance, deemed it prudent to overlook. An inter view was settled at Amiens between the Dukes of Bed ford, Burgundy, and Brittany, at which the Count of Richemont was also present.' 1 The alliance was renewed between these princes: and the regent persuaded Philip to give in marriage to Richemont his eldest sister, widow of the deceased dauphin, Lewis, the elder brother of Charles. Thus Arthur was connected both with the regent and the Duke of Burgundy, and seemed engaged by interest to prosecute the same object, in forwarding the success of the English arms. While the vigilance of the Duke of Bedford was employ ed in gaining or confirming these allies, whose vicinity rendered them so important, he did not overlook the state of more remote countries. The Duke of Albany, Re gent of Scotland, had died ; and his power had devolved on Murdac, his son, a prince of a weak understanding and indolent disposition; who, far from possessing the talents requisite for the government of that fierce people, was not even able to maintain authority in his own family, or restrain the petulance and insolence of his sons. The ardour of the Scots to serve in France, where Charles treated them with great honour and distinction, and where the regent’s brother enjoyed the dignity of constable, broke out afresh under this feeble administration : new succours daily came over, and filled the armies of the French king: the Lari of Douglas conducted a reinforcement of 5000 men to his assistance: and it was justly to be dreaded that the Scots, by commencing open hostilities in the North, would occasion a diversion still more considerable of the English power, and would ease Charles, in part, of that load by which he was at present so grievously op pressed. The Duke of Bedford, therefore, persuaded the English council to form an alliance with James their d Hall, fol. St. Monstrelet, vol. i. p. 4. Stowe, p. 364.
