Chap. XX A. D. 1424.] England, and threw herself under the protection of the Duke of Gloucester. That prince, with many noble quali ties, had the defect of being governed by an impetuous temper and v hement passions; and he was rashly in duced, as well by the charms of the countess herself, as by the prospect of possessing her rich inheritance, to offer himself to her as a husband. Without waiting for a papal dispensation ; without endeavouring to reconcile the Duke of Burgundy to the measure, he entered into a contract of marriage with Jaqueline, and immediately attempted to put himself in possession of her dominions. Philip was disgusted with so precipitate a conduct: he resented the injury done to the Duke of Brabant, his near relation : he dreaded to have the English established on all sides of him: and he foresaw the consequences which must attend the extensive and uncontrolled dominion of that nation, if, before the full settlement of their power, they insulted and injured an ally, to whom they had already been so much indebted, and who was still so necessary for sup porting them in their further progress. He encouraged, therefore, the Duke of Brabant to make resistance: he engaged many of Jaqueline’s subjects to adhere to that prince: he himself marched troops to his support: and as the Duke of Gloucester still persevered fn his purpose, a sharp war was suddenly kindled in the Low Countries. The quarrel soon became personal as well as political. The English prince wrote to the Duke of Burgundy, com plaining of the opposition made to his pretensions; and though in the mam he employed amicable terms in his letter, he took notice of some falsehoods into which he said Philip had been betrayed during the course of these transactions. This unguarded expression was highly re sented : the Duke of Burgundy insisted that he should retract it: and mutual challenges and defiances passed between them on this occasion. 1 The Duke of Bedford could easily foresee the bad effects of so ill-timed and imprudent a quarrel. All the succours which he expected from England, and which were so necessary in this critical emergence, were inter cepted by his brother, and employed in Holland and Hai- nault: the forces of the Duke of "Burgundy, which he also depended on, were diverted by the same wars: and be sides this double loss, he was in imminent danger of alienating for ever that confederate, whose friendship was of the utmost importance, and whom the late king had enjoined him, with his dying breath, to gratify by every mark of regard and attachment. He represented all these topics to the Duke of Gloucester: he endeavoured to miti gate the resentment of the Duke of Burgundy: he inter posed with his good offices between these princes: but was not successful in any of his endeavours; and he found, that the impetuosity of his brother’s temper was still the chief obstacle to all accommodation m For this reason, instead of pushing the victory gained at Verneiiil, he found himself obliged to take a journey into England, and to try, by his counsels and authority, to moderate the mea sures of the Duke of Gloucester. There had likewise broken out some differences among the English ministry, which had proceeded to great ex tremities, and which required the regent’s presence to compose them. n The Bishop of Winchester, to whom the care of the king’s person ana education had been intrust ed, was a prelate of great capacity and experience, but of an intriguing and dangerous character; and as he aspired to the government of affairs, he had continual disputes with his nephew, the protector; and he gained frequent advantages over the vehement and impolitic temper of that prince. The Duke of Bedford employ- ed the authority of parliament to reconcile them; and these rivals were obliged to promise, before that assembly, that they would bury all quarrels in ob livion. 0 Time also seemed to open expedients for com posing the difference with the Duke of Burgundy. The credit of that prince had procured a bull from the Pope; by which not only Jaqueline’s contract with the Duke of Gloucester was annulled; but it was also declared, that 1 Monstrelet. vol. ii. p. 19. 20. 21. . „ ni Ibid. p. 18. n Stowe, p. 368.

Q 225 even in case of the Duke of Brabant’s death, it should never be lawful for her to espouse the English prince. Humphrey, despairing of success, married another lady of inferior rank, who had lived some time with him as his mistress.? The Duke of Brabant died; and his widow, before she could recover possession of her dominions, was obliged to declare the Duke of Burgundy her heir, in case she should die without issue, and to promise never to marry without his consent. But though the affair was thus terminated to the satisfaction of Philip, it left a disa greeable impression on his mind : it excited an extreme jealousy of the English, and opened his eyes to his true interests: and as nothing but his animosity against Charles had engaged him in alliance with them, it coun terbalanced that passion by .mother of the same kind, which in the end became prevalent, and brought him back, by degrees, to his natural connexions with his family and his native country. About the same time the Duke of Brittany began to withdraw himself from the English alliance. His brother, the Count of Richemont, though connected by marriage with the Dukes of Burgundy and Bedford, was extremely attached by inclination to the French interest; and he willingly hearkened to all the advances which Charles made him for obtaining his friendship. Die staff of con stable, vacant by the Earl of Buchan’s death, was offered him ; and as his martial and ambitious temper aspired to the command of armies, which he had in vain attempted to obtain from the Duke of Bedford, he not only accepted that office, but brought over his brother to an alliance with the French monarch. The new constable, having made this one change in his measures, firmly adhered, ever after, to his engagements with France. Though his pride and violence, which would admit of no rival in his master’s confidence, and even prompted him to assassinate his other favourites, had so much disgusted Charles, that he once banished him the court, and refused to admit him to his presence, he still acted with vigour for the service of that monarch, and obtained at last, by his perseverance, the pardon of all past offences. In this situation, the Duke of Bedford, on A D his return, found the affairs of France, after passing eight months in England. The Duke of Bur gundy was much disgusted. The Duke of Brittany had entered into engagements with Charles, and had done homage to that prince for his duchy. The French had been allowed to recover from the astonishment into which their frequent disasters had thrown them. An incident too had happened, which served extremely to raise their courage. The Earl of Warwick had besieged Montargis with a small army of three thousand men, and the place was reduced to extremity, when the bastard of Orleans undertook to throw relief into it. Diis general, who was natural son to the prince assassinated bv the Duke of Bur gundy, and who was afterwards created Count of Dunois, conducted a body of sixteen hundred men to Montargis; and made an attack on the enemy’s trenches with so much valour, prudence, and good fortune, that he not only pene trated into the place, but gave a severe blow to the Eng lish, and obliged Warwick to raise the siege.a This was the first signal action that raised the fame of Dunois, and opened him the road to those great honours which he afterwards attained. But the regent, soon after his arrival, revived the repu tation of the English arms, by an important enterprise which he happily achieved. He secretly brought together in separate detachments, a considerable army to the fron tiers of Brittany ; and fell so unexpectedly upon that pro vince, that the duke, unable to make resistance, yielded to all the terms required of him : he renounced the French alliance; he engaged to maintain the treaty of Troye; he acknowledged the Duke of Bedford for Regent of France; and promised to do homage for his duchy to King Henry r And the English prince, having thus freed himself from a dangerous enemy who lay behind him, resolved on an undertaking which, if successful, would, he hoped, cast p Stowe, p. 367. ,, o Monstrelet, vol. n. p. 32, 33.
