A D lies THF.kingacquiredgreatreputationthrough- state ot foreign out Europe by the vigorous and prosperous affairs. conduct ofh is domestic affairs : but as some incidents about this time invited him to look abroad, and exert himself in behalf of his allies, it will be necessary, in order to give a just account of his foreign measures, to explain the situation of the neighbouring kingdoms; be ginning with Scotland, which lies most contiguous. The kingdom of Scotland had not yet at- . a eo co an<. ^ined that state which distinguishes a civi lized monarchy, and which enables the government, by the force of its laws and institutions alone, without any ex traordinary capacity in the sovereign, to maintain itself in order and tranquillity. James III. who now filled the throne, was a prince of little industry and of a narrow genius; and though it behoved him to yield the reins of government to his ministers, he had never been able to make any choice which could give contentment both to himself and to his people. When he bestowed his con fidence on any of the principal nobility, he found that they exalted their own family to such a height as was dangerous to the prince, and gave umbrage to the state: when he conferred favour on any person of meaner birth, on whose submission he could more depend, the barons of his kingdom, enraged at the power of an upstart minion, proceeded to the utmost extremities against their sovereign. Had Henry entertained the ambition of con quests, a tempting opportunity now offered of reducing that kingdom to subjection ; but as he was probably sensi ble, that a warlike people, though they might be overrun by reason of their domestic divisions, could not be retained in obedience without a regular military force, which was then unknown in England, he rather intended the renewal of the peace with Scotland, and sent an embassy to James for that purpose. But the Scots, who never desired a durable peace with England, and who deemed their se curity to consist in constantly preserving themselves in a warlike posture, would not agree to more than a seven years’ truce, which was accordingly concluded.’ The European states on the continent were then has tening fast to the situation in which they have remained, without any material alteration, for near three centuries; and began to unite themselves into one extensive system of policy, which comprehended the chief powers of state of s ain Christendom. Spain, which had hitherto been almost entirely occupied within her self, now became formidable by the union of Arragon and Castile in the persons of Ferdinand and Isabella, who, being princes of great capacity, employed their force in enterprises the most advantageous to their combined monarchy. The conquest of Grenada from the Moors was then undertaken, and brought near to a happy con clusion. And in that expedition the military genius of Spain was revived ; honour and security were attained; and her princes, no longer kept in awe by a domestic enemy so dangerous, began to enter into all the transac tions of Europe, and made a great figure in every war and negociation. of the Low Maximilian, King of the Romans, son of Countries, tfie Emperor Frederic, had, by his marriage with the heiress of Burgundy, acquired an interest in the Netherlands; and though the death of his consort had weakened his connexions with that country, he still pre tended to the government as tutor to his son Philip, and his authority had been acknowledged by Brabant, Holland, and several of the provinces. But as Flanders and Hain- ault still refused to submit to his regency, and even ap pointed other tutors to Philip, he had been engaged in long wars against that obstinate people, and never was able thoroughly to subdue their spirit. That he might free himself from the opposition of France, he had con cluded a peace with Lewis XL and had given his daughter Margaret, then an infant, in marriage to the dauphin; together with Artois, Franche Compte, and Charolois, as her dowry. But this alliance had not produced the de sired effect. The dauphin succeeded to the crown of France by the appellation of Charles VIII.; but Maxi milian still found the mutinies of the Flemings fomented by the intrigues of the court of France. France, during the two preceding reigns, i j i • i . 1 j Slate of France, had made a mighty increase m power and greatness ; and had not other states of Europe at the same time received an accession of force, it had been impossible to have retained her within her ancient boundaries. Most of the great fiefs, Normandy, Champagne, Anjou, Dau- phiny, Guienne, Provence, and Burgundy, had been united to the crown ; the English had been expelled from all their conquests ; the authority of the prince had been raised to such a height as enabled him to maintain law and order; a considerab'e military force was kept on foot, and the finances were able to support it. Lewis XI. in deed, from whom many of these advantages were derived, was dead, and had left his son, in early youth and ill educated, to sustain the weight of the monarchy: but having intrusted the government to his daughter Anne, Lady of Beaujeu, a woman of spirit and capacity, the French power suffered no check or decline. On the con trary, this princess formed the great project, which at last she happily effected, of uniting to the crown of Brittany the last and most independent fief of the monarchy. Francis II. Duke of Brittany, conscious of his own incapacity for government, had n any ' resigned himself to the direction of Peter Landais, a man of mean birth, more remarkable for abilities than for virtue or integrity. The nobles of Brittany, displeased with the great advancement of this favourite, had even proceeded to disaffection against their sovereign; and after many tumults and disorders, they at last united among them selves, and in a violent manner seized, tried, and put to death the obnoxious minister. Dreading the resentment of the prince for this invasion of his authority, many of them retired to France; others, for protection and safety, maintained a secret correspondence with the French mi nistry, who, observing the great dissensions among the Bretons, thought the opportunity favourable for invading the duchy; and so much the rather, as they could cover their ambition under the specious pretence of providing for domestic security. Lewis, Duke of Orleans, first prince of the blood, and presumptive heir of the monarchy, had disputed the ad ministration with the lady of Beaujeu; and though his pretensions had been rejected by the states, he still main tained cabals with many of the grandees, and laid schemes for subverting the authority of that princess. Finding his conspiracies detected, he took to arms, and fortified him self in Beaugency; but as his revolt was precipitate, be fore his confederates were ready to join him, he had been obliged to submit, and to receive such conditions as the French ministry were pleased to impose upon him. Ac tuated, however, by his ambition, and even by his fears, he soon retired out of France, and took shelter with the Duke of Brittany, who was desirous of strengthening himself against the designs of the lady of Beaujeu, by the friendship and credit of the Duke of Orleans. This latter prince also, perceiving the ascendant which he soon ac quired over the Duke of Brittany, had engaged many of his partisans to join him at that court, and had formed'the design of aggrandising himself by a marriage with Anne, the heir of that opulent duchy.
