Excerpt from History of the Four Conquest of England, Vol. 2 of 2 Over Ethelred's amatory achievements the Chroniclers have, in many instances, drawn a veil, though not so thick as entirely to conceal their character. He now, in A.D. 1002, conceived the idea of strengthening himself against his enemies by contracting an alliance with a Norman princess. All the steps he had previously taken might have been retrieved - he might have listened to wiser counsellors -superior armies and fleets might have been organised and equipped the nation might have roused itself from its lethargy, and shaken off the northern incubus; but, by intermarrying with a daughter of the Vikings recently established in France, he enlarged the range of pretensions to the English throne, and prepared the way for the Battle of Hastings. It may doubtless be said for him that he was at his wits end - no great way to travel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The History of the Norman Conquest of England, Vol. 4: Its Causes and Its Results The present volume contains the reign of Wil liam. I regret that the bulk to which the text has swelled has caused me to leave out several notes which were designed to have a place in the Appendix; but I believe that their substance will find a place as least as fitting among the more general disquisitions which I hope to give in the fifth volume.

Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England, Vol. 4 of 6: From the Norman Conquest James received the Danish ambassadors who brought this civil offer at Dunfermline, but advised them instantly to depart from St. Andrew's, as the plague was raging in the palace: he said he would send his own horses to carry them thither. An unfortunate misunderstanding oc curred, for the Danish ambassadors, having sent on their own horses and baggage, and finding the promised escort did not arrive, actually left Dunfermline on foot. James was in consternation when he found the neglect that his perverse and disobedient people had put Upon the envoys of his courteous ally. This was the more tobe regretted, since king Frederic had ordered the Danish embassy, in case king James was not eager for the marriage, to demand restitution of the Orkney and Shet land isles, which were the rightful property of Denmark. J ames's mar riage was at this juncture an object of interest and contention between his mother, the captive Mary queen of Scots, and his godmother queen Elizabeth. The views of these queens were, of course, in direct contra diction to each other. Mary wished her son to offer his hand to one of the daughters of Philip king of Spain, by Elizabeth of France, her early friend. The queen of England insisted on his marriage with the princess of Sweden, grand-daughter of Gustavus Vasa, and a Protestant; if he accepted this offer, Elizabeth declared she would be at the whole expense of the wedding. The Scottish government were more inclined to the Danish alliance than any other; but Mary queen of Scots, who hoped to see her son marry a Roman catholic of her recommendation, opposed his marriage with either of the northern princesses, under the plea that their fathers, being but elected to their dignities, were not of equal rank with hereditary monarchs.l The Scotch government, however, did not relish the idea of a naval war with the powerful king of Denmark for the possession of the Orkneys: they had, as well, a shrewd idea that his daughter would have a rich tocher, and therefore sent Peter Young, the king's old schoolmaster, to inquire all needful particulars in Denmark.

Excerpt from Historical Memoirs of the House of Russell, Vol. 2 of 2: From the Time of the Norman Conquest On the celebrated field Of Zutphen, in 1586, being one Of that splendid retinue of captains who the previous year had been sent to Holland with the Earl Of Leicester, he dis played a valour that carried consternation, rout, and havoc, wherever his horse bore him. Naturally tall, and sinewy, and athletic, his figure, magnified by the mists that prevailed upon that noted morning, seemed like a gigantic image, and, joined to the romantic achievements Of his arm, im pressed the superstitious fancies Of the Spaniards with the belief that they were contending with a more than earthly apparition. SO terribly he charged, says Stowe, who derived the scene from an eye-witness, that, after he had broke his lance, be with his curtle-axe so played his part, that the enemy reported him a devil, and no man; for.

The six con sorts of Henry VIII.
