belonged to the crown at the pretended deposition of Richard 11., and though they confirmed judicial deeds, and the decrees of inferior courts, they reversed all attain ders passed in any pretended parliament; particularly the attainder of the Earl of Cambridge, the king’s grandfather; as well as that of the Earls of Salisbury and Gloucester, and of Lord Lumley, who had been forfeited for adhering to Richard Il.m Many of these votes were the result of the usual violence of party : the common sense of mankind, in more peace able times, repealed them : and the statutes of the house of Lancaster, being the deeds of an established govern ment, and enacted by princes long possessed of authority, have always been held as valid and obligatory. The par liament, however, in subverting such deep foundations, had still the pretence of replacing the government on its ancient and natural basis : but, in their subsequent mea sures, they were more guided by revenge, at least by the views of convenience, than by the maxims of equity and justice. They passed an act of forfeiture and attainder against Henry VI. and Queen Margaret, and their infant son, Prince Edward: the same act was extended to the Dukes of Somerset and Exeter; to the Earls of Northum berland, Devonshire, Pembroke, Wilts; to the Viscount Beaumont; the Lords Roos, Neville, Clifford, Welles, Dacre, Gray of Rugemont, Hungerford; to Alexander Hedie, Nicholas Latimer, Edmond Mountfort, John Heron, and many other persons of distinction.!! The par liament vested the estates of all these attainted persons in the crown ; though their sole crime was the adhering to a prince, whom every individual of the parliament had long recognised, and whom that very king himself, who was now seated on the throne, had acknowledged and obeyed as his lawful sovereign. The necessity of supporting the government established will more fully justify some other acts of violence; though the method of* conducting them may still appear excep tionable. John, Earl of Oxford, and his son Aubrey ue Vere, were detected in a correspondence with Margaret, were tried by martial law before the constable, were con demned and executed. 0 Sir William Tyrrel, Sir Thomas Tudenham, and John Montgomery, were convicted in the same arbitrary court, were executed, and their estates for feited. This introduction of martial law into civil govern ment was a high strain of prerogative, which, were it not for the violence of the times, would probably have appeared exceptionable to a nation so jealous of their liberties as the English were now become.? It was impossible but such a great and sudden revolution must leave the roots of discontent ancj dissatisfaction in the subject, which would require great art, or in lieu of it, great violence, to extir pate them. The latter was more suitable to the genius of the nation in that uncultivated age. But the new establishment still seemed precarious and uncertain; not only from the domestic discontents of the people, but from the efforts of foreign powers. I^ewis, the eleventh of the name, had succeeded to his father, Charles, in 1460 ; and was led from the obvious motives of national interest, to feed the flames of civil discord among such dangerous neighbours, by giving support to the weaker party. But the intriguing and politic genius of this prince was here checked by itself: having attempted to subdue the independent spirit of his own vassals, he had excited such an opposition at home, as prevented him from making all the advantage which the opportunity afforded, of the dissensions among the English. He sent, however, a small body to Henry’s assistance under Varenne, seneschal m Cotton, p. 672. Statutes at Large, 1 Edw. IV. cap. 1. n Cotton, p. 670. W. Wyrcester.p. 490. o W. de Wyrcester, p. 492.

Sproti. p That we may judge how arbitrary a court that of the constable of England was, we may peruse the patent granted to the Earl of Rivers in this reign, as it is to be found in Spellman’s Glossary in verb. Constabu- larius ; as also, more fully in Rymer, vol. xi. p. 581. Here is a clause of it: Et -ulterius de uberiort gratia nostra eidem Comiti de Rivers plenam potestatem damns ad cognoscendumet procedendum, in omnibus et singulis causis et negotiis, de et super criming lesa majestatis, seu super occasione caterisque causis, quibuscunque per prafatum Comitem de Rivers, ut consta- buJarium Anglia—qua in curia cons tabular it Anglia ah antique, viz. tempore dicti domini Gulielmt conquest or i s, seu alt quo tempore citra tractart, aitdiri, examinari, aut decidi consueverant, aut jure debuerant aut debent, causasque et negotia pradicta cum omnibus et singulis emergentibus, inciden- ttbus et connexis, audiendum, examinandum, et fine debtto terminandum, etiam sum marie et de piano, sine strepitu et figura justitia?, sola facti veri- of Normandy,i who landed in Northumber- land, and got possession of the castle of • ■ 1 ’• Alnewie: but as the indefatigable Margaret went in person to France, where she solicited largersupplies,and promised Lewis to deliver up Calais if her family should by his means be restored to the throne of England, he was in duced to send along with her a body of 2000 men at arms, which enabled her to take the ' ’ field, and to make an inroad into England. Though re inforced by a numerous train of ad venturers from Scotland, and by many partisans of the family of Lancaster; she received a check at Hedgley-more from Lord Montacute, or Montague, brother to the ' ' pn ' Earl of Warwick, and warden of the east marches between Scotland and England. Montague was so encouraged with this success, that, while a numerous reinforcement was on their march to join him by orders from Edward, he yet ventured, with his own troops alone, to p 8tl i e o f attack the Lancastrians at Hexham; and he Hexham, obtained a complete victory over them. 1501 Wa> - The Duke of Somerset, the Lords Roos and Hungerford, were taken in the pursuit, and immediately beheaded by martial law at Hexham. Summary justice was in like manner executed at Newcastle on Sir Humphrey Nevil, and several other gentlemen. All those who were spared in the field suffered on the scaffold ; and the utter exter mination of their adversaries was now become the nlain object of the York party; a conduct which received but too plausible an apology from the preceding practice of the Lancastrians. The fate of the unfortunate royal family after this defeat, was singular. Margaret, flying with her son into a forest, where she endeavoured to conceal herself, was beset, dur ing the darkness of the night, by robbers, who, either ig norant or regardless of her quality, despoiled her of her rings and jewels, and treated her with the utmost indig nity. The partition of this rich booty raised a quarrel among them; and while their attention was thus engaged, she took the opportunity of making her escape with her son into the thickest of the forest, where she wandered for some time, overspent with hunger and fatigue, and sunk with terror and affliction. While in this wretched condition, she saw a robber approach with his naked sword; and finding that she had no means of escape, she suddenly embraced the resolution of trusting entirely for protection to his faith and generosity. She advanced towards him; and presenting to him the young prince, called out to him, Here, my friend, I commit to your care the safety of your king’s son. The man, whose humanity and generous spirit had been obscured, not entirely lost, by his vicious course of life, was struck with the singularity of the event, was charmed with the confidence reposed in him; and vowed not only to abstain from all injury against the princess, but to devote himself entirely to her service. r By his means she dwelt some time concealed in the forest, and was at last conducted to the sea-coast, whence she made her escape into Flanders. She passed thence into her father’s court, where she lived several years in privacy and retirement. Her husband was not so fortunate or so dexterous in finding the means of escape. Some of his friends took him under their protection, and conveyed him into Lancashire; where he remained concealed during a twelvemonth; but he was at last detected, delivered up to Edward, and thrown into the Tower? The safety of his per son was less owing to the generosity of his enemies, than to the contempt which they had entertained of his courage and his understanding. tate inspects, at etiam mam regia, si opportunum visum fuerit eidem Comiti de Rivers, vices nostras, appellations remota. 1 lie office of constable was perpetual iu the monarchy ; its jurisdiction was not limited to times of war, as appears from this patent, and as we learn from Spellman : yet its au thority was in direct contradiction to Magna Cbarta ; and it is evident that no regular liberty could subsist with it. It involved a full dictatorial power continually subsisting in the state. The only check on the crown, besides the want of force to support all its prerogatives, was that the office of constable was commonly eitner hereditary or during life ; and the per son invested with it was, tor that reason, not so proper an instrument of arbitrary power in the king. Accordingly the office was suppressed by Henry VIII. the most arbitrary of all the English princes. 1 he practice, however, of exercising martial law still subsisted ; and was not abo lished till the Petition of Right under Charles 1. 1 his was the epoch of true liberty, confirmed by the Restoration, and enlarged and secured by the Revolution. q Monstrelet, vol. iii. p. 95. r Ibid, vol. ii p. 96. s Hall. fol. 191.
