but had not credit to effect his purpose. The cardinal and his friends had cast their eye on Margaret of Anjou, daughter of Regnier, titular King of Sicily, Naples, and Jerusalem, descended from the Count of Anjou, brother of Charles V., who had left these magnificent titles, but without any real power or possessions, to his posterity. This princess herself was the most accomplished of her age both in body and mind ; and seemed to possess those qualities which "would equally qualify her to acquire the ascendant over Henry, and to supply all his defects and weaknesses. Of a masculine, courageous spirit, of an enterprising temper, endowed with solidity as well as vivacity of understanding, she had not been able to conceal these great talents even in the privacy of her father’s family; and it wps reasonable to expect, that when she should mount the throne, they would break out with still superior lustre. The Earl of Suffolk, therefore, in concert with his associates of the English council, made proposals of marriage to Margaret, which were accepted. But this nobleman, besides pre-occupying the princess’s favour, by being the chief means of her advancement, endeavour ed to ingratiate himself with her and her family, by very Marriage of the extraordinary concessions : though Margaret king with Mar- brought no dowry with her, he ventured of garet ot Anjou, himself, without any direct authority from the council, but probably with the approbation of the cardinal and the ruling members, to engage, by a secret article, that the province of Maine, which was at that time in the hands of the English, should be ceded to Charles of Anjou, her uncle, 6 who was prime minister and favourite of the French king, and who had already received from his master the grant of that province as his appanage. The treaty of marriage was ratified in England: Suf folk obtained first the title of marquis, then that of duke; and even received the thanks of parliament for his services in concluding it. c The princess fell immediately into close connexions with the cardinal and his party, the Dukes of Somerset, Suffolk, and Buckingham; d who, fortified by her powerful patronage, resolved on the final ruin of the Duke of Gloucester. , This generous prince, worsted in all court intrigues, tor which his temper was not suit ed ; but possessing, in a high degree, the favour of the public, had already received from his rivals a cruel morti fication, which he had hitherto borne without violating public peace, but which it was impossible that a person of his spirit and humanity could ever forgive. His duchess, the daughter of Reginald, Lord Cobham, had been accused of the crime of witchcraft, and it was pretended that there was found in her possession a waxen figure of the king, which she and her associates, Sir Roger Boling- broke, a priest, and one Margery Jordan of Eye, melted in a magical manner before a slow fire, with an intention of making Henry’s force and vigour waste away by like insensible degrees. The accusation was well calculated to affect the weak and credulous mind of the king, and to gain belief in an ignorant age; and the duchess was brought to trial with her confederates. The nature of this crime, so opposite to all common sense, seems always to exempt the accusers from observing the rules of common sense in their evidence: the prisoners were pronounced guilty ; the duchess was condemned to do public penance, and to suffer perpetual imprisonment; tne others were executed.® But, as these violent proceedings were ascrib ed solely to the malice of the duke’s enemies, the people, contrary to their usual practice in such marvellous trials, acquitted the unhappy sufferers; and increased their esteem and affection towards a prince, who was thus exposed, without protection, to those mortal injuries. These sentiments of the public made the Cardinal of Winchester and his party sensible that it was necessary to destrov a man whose popularity might become dangerous, and whose resentment they had so much cause to appre hend. In order to effect their purpose, a parliament was summoned to meet, not at London, which was supposed to be too well affected to the duke, but at St. Edmonds- bury, where they expected that he would lie entirely at b Grafton, p. 590. c Cotton, p.63O. <1 Holinuslied, p. 626. e Stowe, p. 381. Holingshed, p.622. Grafton, p. 587 : their mercy. As soon as he appeared, he Feb was accused of treason, and thrown into Murder of the prison. He was soon after found dead in G1 °“’ his bed; f and though it was pretended that ' his death was natural, and though his body, which was exposed to public view, bore no marks of outward violence, no one doubted but he had fallen a victim to the vengeance of his enemies. An artifice, formerly prac tised in the case of Edward II., Richard 11., and Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester, could deceive nobody. The reason of this assassination of the duke seems, not that the ruling party apprehended his acquittal in parlia ment on account of his innocence, which, in such times, was seldom much regarded; but that they imagined his public trial and execution would have been more invidious than his private murder, which they pretended to deny. Some gentlemen of his retinue were afterwards tried as ac complices in his treasons, and were condemned to be hanged, drawn, and quartered. They were hanged and cut down ; but just as the executioner was proceeding to quarter them, their pardon was produced, and they were recovered to life.? The most barbarous kind of mercy that can possibly be imagined ! This prince is said to have received a better education than was usual in his age, to have founded one of the first public libraries in England, and to have been a great patron of learned men. Among other advantages, which he reaped from this turn of mind, it tended much to cure him of credulity; of which the following instance is given by Sir Thomas More. There was a man, who pretended, that, though he was born blind, he had recovered his sight by touching the shrine of St. Albans. The duke, happening soon after to pass that way, questioned the man, and, seeming to doubt of his sight, asked him the colours of several cloaks, worn by persons of his retinue. The man told them very readily. You are a knave, cried the prince; had you been born blind, you could not so soon have learned to distinguish colours : and immediately ordered him to be set in the stocks as an impostor. 6 The Cardinal of Winchester died six weeks after his nephew, whose murder was universally ascribed to him as well as to the Duke of Suffolk, and which, it is said, gave him more remorse in his last moments, than could naturally be expected from a man hardened, during the course of a long life, in falsehood and in politics. What share the queen had in this guilt, is uncertain ; her usual activity and spirit made the public conclude, with some reason, that the duke’s enemies durst not have ventured on such a deed without her privity. But there happened, soon after, an event, of which she and her favourite, the Duke of Suffolk, bore incontestably the whole odium. That article of the marriage treaty, by which the pro vince of Maine was to be ceded to Charles of Anjou, the queen’s uncle, had probably been hitherto kept secret; and, during the lifetime of the Duke of Gloucester, it might have been dangerous to venture on the execution of it. But, as the court of France strenuously insisted on performance, orders were now despatched, under Henry’s hand, to Sir Francis Surienne, governor of Mans, com manding him to surrender that place to Charles of Anjou. Surienne, either questioning the authenticity of the order, or regarding his government as his sole fortune, refused compliance ; and it became necessary for a French army, under the Count of Dunois, to lay siege to the city. The governor made as good a defence as his situation could permit; but, receiving no relief from Edmund, Duke of Somerset, who was at that time governor of Normandy, he was at last obliged to capitulate, and to surrender not only Mans, but all the other fortresses of that province, which was thus entirely alienated from the crown of England. The bad effects of this measure stopped not here. Surienne, at the head of all his ' ' garrisons, amounting to two thousand five hundred men, retired into Normandy, in expectation of being taken into pay, and of being quartered in some towns of that pro vince. But Somerset, who had no means of subsisting such a multitude, and who was probably incensed at f Grafton, p. 597- g Fabian Chron anno 1447- h Gratton, p. 597-
