Chap. XL—A. D. 1216.] JOHN. 117 English barons in their new engagements, and the danger of intrusting his son and heir into the hands of men, who might, on any canrice or necessity, make peace with their native sovereign, oy sacrificing a pledge of so much value. He therefore exacted from the barons twenty-five hostages of the most noble birth in the kingdom and having ob tained this security, he sent over first a small army to the relief of the confederates; then more numerous forces, S which arrived with Lewis himself at their head. The first effect of the ycung prince’s appearance in England was the desertion of John’s foreign troops, who, being mostly levied in Flarders, and other provinces of France, refused to serve against the heir of their monarchy/ The Gascons and Poictevins alone, who were still John’s J subjects, adhered to his cause; but thev were too weak to maintain that superiority in the field which thev had hitherto supported against the confederated barons. Many considerable noblemen deserted John’s party, the earls of Salisbury, Arundel, Warrenne, Oxford, Albemarle, and William Mareschal the younger : his castles fell daily into the hands of the enemy ; Dover was the only place which, from the valour and fidelity of Hubert de Burgh, the go vernor, made resistance to the progress of Lewis : a and the barons had the melancholy prospect of finally succeed ing in their purpose, and of escaping the tyranny of their own king, by imposing on themselves and the nation a foreign yoke. But this union was of short duration be tween tne French and English nobles : and the impru dence of Lewis, who, on every occasion, showed too visi ble a preference to the former, increased that jealousy which it was so natural for the latter to entertain in their present situation.n The viscount of Melun, too, it is said, one of his courtiers, fell sick at London, and finding the approaches of death, he sei t for some of his friends among the English barons, and warning them of their danger, revealed Lewis’s secret intentions of exterminating them and their families as traitors to their prince, and of bestow ing their estates and dignities on his native subjects, in 8 whose fidelity he could more reasonably place confidence :c this story, whether true or false, was universally reported and believed; and concurring with other circumstances which rendered it credible, did great prejudice to the cause of Lewis. The earl of Salisbury, and other noble men, deserted again to John’s party ; d and as men easily change sides in a civil war, especially where their power is founded on an hereditary and independent authority, and is not derived from the opinion and favour of the people, the French prince had reason to dread a sudden reverse of fortune. The king was assembling a consider able ajmy, with a view of fighting one great battle for his crown ; but passing from Lynne to Lincolnshire, his road lay along the sea-shore, which was overflowed at high watei; and not choosing the proper time for his journey, he lost in the inundation all his carriages, treasure, bag gage, and regalia. The affliction for this disaster, and vexation from the distracted state of his affairs, increased * the sickness under which he then laboured; and though he reached the castle of Newark, he was obliged to halt there, 17th oct. and his distemper soon after put an end to Death, his life, in the forty-ninth year of his age, and eighteenth of his reign; and freed the nation from the dangers, to which it was equally exposed by his success or by his misfortunes. 19 if and character The character of this prince is nothing but I of the king. a complication of vices, equally mean and odious ; ruinous to himself, and destructive to his people. Cowardice, inactivity, folly, levity, licentiousness, ingra titude, treachery, tyranny, and cruelty ; all these qualities appear too evidently in the several incidents of his life, to give us room to suspect that the disagreeable picture has been anywise overcharged by the prejudices of the ancient historians. It is hard to say whether his conduct to his -- 4 father, his brother, his nephew, or his subjects, was most jl culpable; or whether his crimes, in these respects, were D 9 11 not even exceeded by the baseness which appeared in his . transactions with the King of France, the Pope, and the barons. His European dominions, when they devolved II .11. y M. Paris, p. 193. Chron. Dunst. vol. i. p. 74- v ' r z M. Paris, p. 195. a Ib.d. p :98. Cbron. Dunst. vol. i. p. 75,76, to him by the death of his brother, were more extensive than have ever, since his time, been ruled by an English monarch : but he first lost, by his misconduct, the flou rishing provinces in France, the ancient patrimony of his family : he subjected his kingdom to a shameful vassalage under the see of Rome : he saw the prerogatives of his crown diminished by law, and still more reduced by fac tion : and he died at last, when in danger of being totally expelled by a foreign power, and of either ending his life miserably in prison, or seeking shelter, as a fugitive, from the pursuit of his enemies. Tne prejudices against this prince were so violent, that he was believed to have sent an embassy to the Miramou- lin, or Emperor of Morocco, and to have offered to change his religion and become Mahometan, in order to purchase the protection of that monarch. But, though this story is told us, on plausible authority, by Matthew Paris,® it is in itself utterly improbable; except that there is nothing so incredible but may be believed to proceed from the folly and wickedness of John. The monks throw great reproaches on this prince for his impiety and even infidelity; and as an instance of it, they tell us, that, having one day caught a very fat stag, he exclaimed, How plump and well fed is this animal! and yet, I dare swear, he never heard mass.* This sally of wit upon the usual corpulency of the priests, more than all his enormous crimes and iniquities, made him pass with them for an atheist. John left two legitimate sons behind him, Henn’, born on the first of October, 1207, and now nine years of age; and Richard, born on the sixth of January, 1209 ; and three daughters, Jane, afterwards married to Alexander King of Scots ; Eleanor, married first to W illiam Mares chal the younger, earl of Pembroke, and then to Simon Mountfort, earl of Leicester ; and Isabella, married to the emperor Frederic II. All these children were born to him by Isabella of Angoulesme, his second wife. His illegiti mate children were numerous; but none of them were anywise distinguished. It was this king who, in the ninth year of his reign, first gave by charter, to the city of London, the right of electing, annually, a mayor out of its own body, an office which was till now held for life. He gave the city also power to elect and remove its sheriffs at pleasure, and its common-councilmen annually. London-bridge was finish ed in this reign. The former bridge was of wood. Maud, the empress, was the first that built a stone bridge in England. CHAP. XII. HENRY III.

Most sciences, in proportion as they in- crease and improve, invent methods by ' ’ 1216, which they facilitate their reasonings : and, employing general theorems, are enabled to comprehend, in a few propositions, a great number of inferences and conclu sions. History also, being a collection of facts which are multiplying without end, is obliged to adopt such arts of abridgment, to retain the more material events, and to drop all the minute circumstances, which are only inter esting during the time, or to the persons engaged in the transactions. This truth is no where more evident than with regard to the reign upon which we are going to enter. What mortal could have the patience to write or read a b W. Heming. p. 559. c M. Paris, p. 199 M.
