Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England Before the Norman Conquest Such are a few of the leading features of a period comparatively unknown, and which cannot fail, it is hoped, to prove a useful study to those who desire an introduction to the History of Eng land; for these personal records of the wives and daughters of our early monarchs, form naturally the connecting links between many public events which would otherwise remain detached and unintelligible. The history of British female Sovereigns before the period of the Conquest had necessarily to be drawn from chronicles which present many legendary records, and which grave writers have sometimes rejected, perhaps too unsparingly; for, as a learned translatorAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England, From the Norman Conquest, Vol. 8: With Anecdotes of Their Courts, Now First Published From Official Records and Other Authentic Documents, Private as Well as Public This mingled softness and gallantry reassured the weeping girl; her dark eyes brightened anew, and she soon fell into familiar discourse with the royal lover. In the course of conversation, he seemed sur prised that she appeared so much taller than she had been represented to him for, finding she reached to his shoulder, he glanced downward at her feet, to see whether her height had not been increased by artificial means. With her natural quickness of perception, she anticipated his thoughts, and, showing him the shoes she wore, she said to him in French, Sire, I stand upon mine own feet; I have no help from art; thus high am I, neither higher nor lower. At the conclusion of this interview, the young queen presented all her French servants to his majesty, recommending them to him particularly by name. Madame St. George, the daughter of madame de Mengist, the queen's governess, was the principal of her ladies, and to her, king Charles took a very early antipathy.n That beautiful coquette, the duchess de Chevreuse, was of the party, but she seems to have arrived in the quality of guest; she was the wife of the king's cousin, the duke de Chevreuse, ' who had represented his royal person by proxy at the recent marriage ceremony, and completed his trust by escorting the royal bride to England. The absence of madame de Chevreuse' from Paris was. In fact, a species of banishment inflicted on her as penance for some of the vagaries with which, from the pure love of mischief, she had been bewildering all the heads and hearts she could captivate at the French court. Nor did she lack English admirers, for the wooing ambassador, lord Kensington, was passionately in love with her. Charles I. Received the duke de Chevreuse graciously, and treated him as a kinsman; he conducted him himself to the presence-chamber, in Dover castle, where he found the fair duchess of Chevreuse, and bade her welcome.'

MAEGAEET OF ANJOTJ/ QUEEN OF HENRY VI. CHAPTER L The history of Margaret of Anjou, from the cradle to the tomb, is a tissue of the most striking vicissitudes, and replete with events of more powerful interest than are to be found in the imaginary career of any heroine of romance; for the creations of fiction, however forcibly they may appeal to our imagination, fade into insignificance before the simple majesty of truth. When we consider the stormy grandeur of character of this last and most luckless of our Provencal queens, her beauty, her learning, her energetic talents, and the important position she occupied for more than a quarter of a century in the annals of this country, --first, as the unconstitutional, but certainly supreme, director of the power of the crown, and, lastly, as the leader and rallying point of the friends of Lancaster, it is remarkable that no complete and authentic biography of her has ever been given to the world. Margaret was the youngest daughter of Rene of Anjou and Isabella of Lorraine. Her father was the second son of Louis II., king of Sicily and Jerusalem, duke of Calabria and Anjou, and count of Provence. English historians place the date of Margaret's birth in 1425; but this is a palpable error, for her mother, who was scarcely fifteen at that time, did not give birth to her eldest child, John of Calabria, till 1426. Then came prince Louis, followed by Nicolas and Yolante, twin-children, who were born October 2, 1428. After the decease of Rene1 and his sons, Yolante took the title of queen of Sicily, as the next heir. Thus we see that Margaret of Anjou was four years younger than has been generally supposed. According to the best authorities,1 Margaret was born March 23,1429, at Pont-a-Mousson, her..
