reflected on the fate of the good Duke of Gloucester in the last reign, who, after seeing the most infamous pre tences employed for the destruction of his nearest connex ions, at last fell himself a victim to the vengeance of his enemies. But Clarence, instead of securing his own life against the present danger by silence and reserve, was open and loud in justifying the innocence of his friends, and in exclaiming against the iniquity of their prosecu tors. The king, highly offended with his freedom, or using A D. h-8. that pretence against him, committed him to 16U1 Jan.. the Tower,? summoned a parliament, and tried him for his life before the House of Peers, the su preme tribunal of the nation. The duke was accused of arraigning public justice, by maintaining the innocence of men who had been condemn ed in courts of judicature; and of inveighing against the iniquity of the king, who had given orders for their prose cution. 2 Many rash expressions were imputed to him, and some, too, reflecting on Edward’s legitimacy; but he was not accused of any overt act of treason; and even the tmth of these speeches may be doubted of, since the liberty of judgment was taken from the court, hy the king’s ap pearing personally as his brother’s accuser, a and pleading the cause against him. But a sentence of condemnation, even when this extraordinary circumstance had not place, was a necessary consequence, in those times, of any prose cution by the court or the prevailing party; and the Duke of Clarence was pronounced guilty by the Peers. The House of Commons were no less slavish and unjust: they both petitioned for the execution of the duke, and after wards passed a bill of attainder against him. b The mea sures of the parliament during that age, furnish us with examples of a strange contrast of freedom and servility: they scruple to grant, and sometimes refuse, to the king the smallest supplies, the most necessary for the support of government, even the most necessary for the maintenance of wars, for which the nation, as well as the parliament it self, expressed great fondness : but they never scruple to concur in the most flagrant act of injustice or tyranny, which falls on anv individual, however distinguished by birth or merit. These maxims, so ungenerous, so oppo site to all principles of good government, so contrarv to the practice of present parliaments, are very remarkable in all the transactions of the English history, for more than a century after theperiod in which we are now engaged. 18th Feb ^ le on ^y & vour which the king granted ‘ ' his brother, after his condemnation, was to leave him the choice of his death; and he was privately drowned in a butt of malmesey in the Tower: a whimsi cal choice, which implies that he had an extraordinary passion for that liquor. The duke left two children by the elder daughter of the Earl of Warwick; a son, created an earl by his grandfather’s title, and a daughter, afterwards Countess of Salisbury. Both this prince and princess were also unfortunate in their end, and died a violent death; a fate which for many years attended almost all the descendants of the royal blood in England. There prevails a report, that a chief source of the violent prose cution of the Duke of Clarence, whose name was George, was a current prophecy, that the king’s son should be murdered by one, the initial letter of whose name was G. c It is not impossible but, in those ignorant times, such a silly reason might have some influence: but it is more probable, that the whole story is the invention of a sub sequent period, and founded on the murder of these chil dren by the Duke of Gloucester. Comines remarks, that, at that time, the English never were without some super stitious prophecy or other, by which they accounted for every event. All the glories of Edward’s reign terminated with the civil wars; where his laurels too were extremely sullied with blood, violence, and cruelty. His spirit seems after wards to have been sunk in indolence and pleasure, or his measures were frustrated by imprudence and the want of foresight. There was no object on which he was more in tent than to have all his daughters settled by splendid mar riages, though most of these princesses were yet in their y Hi»t.

Croyl.cont. p. 562. infancy, and though the completion of his views, it was obvious, must depend on numberless accidents which were impossible to be foreseen or prevented. His eldest daughter, Elizabeth, was contracted to the dauphin; his second, Cicely, to the eldest son of James III., King of Scotland ; his third, Anne, to Philip, only son of Max imilian and the Duchess of Burgundy; his fourth, Ca tharine, to John, son and heir to Ferdinand, King of Arragon, and Isabella, Queen of Castile.* 1 None of these projected marriages took place; and the king himself saw, tn his life-time, the rupture of the first, that with the dau phin, for which he had always discovered a peculiar fond ness. Lewis, who paid no regard to treaties or engage ments, found his advantage in contracting the dauphin to the Princess Margaret, daughter of Maximilian ; and the king, notwithstanding his indolence, prepared to revenge the indignity. The French monarch, emi- A nent for prudence as well as perfidy, endea ¬ voured to guard against the blow; and by a proper distri bution of presents in the court of Scotland, he incited James to make war upon England. This prince, who lived on bad terms with his own nobility, and whose force was very unequal to the enterprise, levied an army; but when he was ready to enter England, the barons, con spiring against his favourites, put them to death without trial; and the army presently disbanded. The Duke of Gloucester, attended by the Duke of Albany, James’s brother, who had been banished his country, entered Scot land at the head of an army, took Berwick, and obliged the Scots to accept of a peace, by which they resigned that fortress to Edward. This success imboldened the king to think more seriously of a French war; but while he was making preparations for that enterprise, he was seized with a distemper, of which he expired in the forty- h A rfI second year of his age, and twenty-third of Death and cha ins reign : a prince more splendid and showy, Ed ‘ than either prudent or virtuous; brave, though cruel; addicted to pleasure, though capable of activity in great emergencies; and less fitted to prevent ills by wise precautions, than to remedy them after they took place, by his vigour and enterprise. Besides five daughters, this king left two sons; Edward Prince of W ales, his successor, then in his thirteenth year, and Richard Duke of York, in his ninth. CHAP. XXIII. EDWARD V. AND RICHARD III.

EDWARD V. During the late years of Edward IV. the nation bavins, in a great measure, for gotten the bloody feuds between the two roses, and peaceably acquiescing in the established govern ment, was agitated only by some court-intrigues, which, being restrained by the authority of the kinc, seemed no wise to endanger the public tranquillity. These intrigues arose from the perpetual rivalship between two parties; one consisting of the queen and her relations, particularly the Earl of Rivers, her brother, and the Marquis of Dor set, her son ; the other composed of the ancient nobility, who envied the sudden growth and unlimited credit of that aspiring family.’ At the head of this latter party was the Duke of Buckingham, a man of very noble birth, of ample possessions, of great alliances, of shining parts; who, though he had married the queen’s sister, was too haughty to act in subserviency to her inclinations, and • c lull, fol. 2.19.
