ARTISTS who are desirous of offering examples of their work for exhibition at the New Gallery may send them in on the first two Fridays in March, such works to be removed whether accepted or otherwise on the following Tuesdays. To prevent disappointment on the part of those who may choose to avail them- selves of this opportunity, the Directors of the New Gallery think it only right to add that a great part of the space at their disposal is pledged beforehand, and that the non-acceptance of any work does not therefore imply any kind of judgment as to its fitnesss for exhibition. Water-colour drawings sent in for approval must be framed in gold mounts. No more than two works may be submitted for approval, and no works are eligible which have been previously exhibited in London. Every work must be accompanied by a note addressed to the Secretary, and containing the name and address of the artist. But these particulars will be con- sidered by the Directors as strictly confidential, and no mention will afterwards be made of any work submitted to them. All works must be sent and removed at the artist's expense, and those from the country or from abroad must be delivered and removed by an agent, as cases cannot be received at the Gallery. No work can be removed until after the close of an Exhibition. A commission of ten per cent, is charged on all works sold in the Gallery.

The object of these notes is to trace as briefly as possible the development of the British Monarchy, by conquest, inheritance, or absorption, from the congeries of more or less independent States which existed in the sixth century to the United Kingdom of the present day. It will be seen that the Monarchy arose in various ways and progressed by various forms of succession, beginning with a considerable admixture of the elective principle, always, however, within the limits of particular families, and gradually settling down into strictly hereditary lines, until, in the Revolution of 1688, a new and religious condition was introduced, though, even then, but for that one condi- tion, the strict hereditary succession was and is preserved. And it will be seen, also, that it is not a paradox, but sober truth, to say that the nucleus of the present Monarchy was not England, Scotland, or Ireland at large, but the little Irish Gaelic State of the Dalriada Scots, and that, though the senior line has on certain occa- sions been superseded, His Majesty King Edward the Seventh now reigns over the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, not only because he can undoubtedly trace back to Cerdic of Wessex, Alfred of England, and William of Normandy, but principally by virtue of his descent from Fergus, the son of Ere, who in the fifth century first brought the Scots from Erin to Argyll, and from his descendants, Kenneth MacAlpin, who united the Scots and Picts in the one King- dom of Scotland, and James VI. of Scotland, who inherited England and its belongings through his great-grandmother Margaret, daughter of Henry VII. No existing Monarchy can show such magnificent antiquity. The condition of the British Isles in the middle of the sixth century was as follows : — „ England, or the part of South Britain held by those tribes of Teutonic race who came from the mouth of the Elbe, had settled down, after about a hundred years of gradual conquest, into the Seven Kingdoms of the Heptarchy. Wales, in its three divisions of Gwynedd, Powis, and Deheubarth, now, after X Introductory Notes. the final expulsion of the Irish colonies of the western seabord by Caswallaun Law Hir, entirely Cymric, Cornwall, and the Kingdom of Strathclyde and Cumbria, were in the hands of rulers of British race. Scotland, north of the Forth and Clyde, then called Alba, was divided between the little Irish State of the Dalriada Scots and the large Kingdom of the Cruithne or Picts, both using forms of the Gaelic speech, and both probably of Gaelic race. There were outlying Pictish settlements in Galloway, Manau Gododin (round about Edinburgh), and the Isle of Man. Ireland was divided into small "Kingdoms," sometimes united under one Ardrigh or Arch-King. England. The Pre-Norman Kings. The Seven Kingdoms of the Heptarchy were, Wessex, Sussex, Kent, Essex, East Anglia, Mercia, and Northumbria, the last, in its two sections of Bernicia and Deira, sometimes forming two Kingdoms. The rulers of these Kingdoms all claimed descent from Woden or Odin, a deified hero whose name came eventually to represent the principal god of the Teutonic Pantheon, though he was probably a real man, who, apparently only nine or ten generations back, had founded a superior race, which imposed itself as a family of rulers on the Teutonic tribes. Cerdic, the founder of the Royal House of Wessex, who came to England in 495, was the son of Elesa, son of Esla, son of Gewis, son of Wig, son of Freawin, son of Frithogar, son of Brond, son of Beldeg (probably the Baldur of the Norse legends), son of Woden. When the English became Christians they were not content with Woden, and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle traces Ethulwulf's pedigree back to Adam, through Sceaf, " that is the son of Noah, he was born in Noah's Ark." The House of Wessex gradually acquired an ascendancy over the whole of England, until Egbert, eleventh in descent from Cerdic, though called only King of the West Saxons, practically ruled all the country. Egbert was the son of Elmund, son of Eafa, son of Eoppa, son of Ingild, son of Cenred, son of Ceolwald, son of Cutha, son of Cuthwin, son of Ceawlin, son of Cynric, son of Cerdic. He was the eighth king who was "Bretwalda" or overlord of the more or less federated Heptarchy. The others wers Ella of Sussex, Ceawlin of Wessex, Ethelbert of Kent, Redwald of East Anglia, Edwin of Northumbria, Oswald of Northumbria, and Oswy of Northumbria. Egbert died in 836, and his son Introductory Notes. xi Ethelwulf succeeded him. On his death in 855, his two sons, Ethelbald and Bthelbert, succeeded him, the first in Wessex, the second in Kent, Essex, and Sussex and Surrey. Ethelbald died in 860, and Ethelbert succeeded to all the realm of his brother. Ethelred I., the third son, succeded Ethelbert on his death in 865. Then came a period of struggle with the Danes, during which, in 871, Ethelred died, and his younger brother, Alfred the Great, succeeded, and was the first both real and nominal King of the English. The flouse of A l/red. I. — ALFRED THE GREAT, succeeded 871, died 28 October, 901. II. — Edward THE ELDER, eldest surviving son of Alfred, 901 to 925. III. — ATHELSTAN, natural son of Edward the Elder, 925 to 941. He subdued Cornwall, which until then had been ruled by British Kings, and added it to his dominions. IV. — Edmund The Elder, fifth son of Edward the Elder, 941 to 946. V. — Edred, brother of Edmund the Elder, 946 to 955. VI. — Edwy, eldest son of Edmund the Elder, 955 to 957. VII.— Edgar The Peaceable, brother of Edwy, 973 to 975. VIII.— Edward the Martyr, eldest son of Edgar, 975 to 978. IX. — ETHELRED THE Unready, half-brother of Edward the Martyr, succeeded 978, deposed 1012, restored 1014, died 1016. Danish Kings. I.— SWEYN, King of Denmark, was proclaimed King in 1014, died 1015.

II. — CANUTE, son of Sweyn, King of Denwark, was elected King in 1015, overcame Edmund Ironsides in 1016, died 1036. III. — Harold I., son of Canute, 1036 to 1039. IV. — HARDICANUTE, King of Denmark, half-brother of Harold I., being son of Canute by Emma of Normandy, widow of Ethelred, 1039 to 1041. Xll Introductory Notes. XI.— ST. Edward the Confessor, son of Ethelred the Unready by his second wife Emma, 1043 to January, 1066. On the death without issue of St. Edward the Confessor, the next direct heir was Edgar Atheling, son of Edward the Exile, son of Edmund Ironsides. St. Edward had more or less fixed upon William Duke of Normandy, his first cousin once removed, as his successor. William was a natural son of Robert Duke of Normand}^, son of Richard II., Duke of Normandy, brother of Emma, the mother of the Confessor, and, though nearly related to him, was in no sense the heir to the Crown. Harold, son of Godwin, Earl of Kent, the brother of Edith, wife of St. Edward, claimed also a grant of the Kingdom from the late King. He was crowned 6 January, 1066. and was killed at the battle of Hastings, on the 14th of October, in the same year. The succession of William, who followed, was by conquest, not by election or inheritance, though after the Conquest there came some form of election ; and although, by the marriage of Henry I. with Matilda, \ daughter of St. Margaret, Queen of Scotland, sister and heir of Edgar Atheling, a junior descent from the House of Alfred was brought into the Norman House, the succeeding kings reigned over England, not in right of that descent, but of William's conquest. Later the full heirship of the House of Wessex came through the Scottish Kings to the Kings of Great Britain and Ireland, but still the origin of the succession was not affected thereby. The Norman House. I. — WILLIAM I., Duke of Normany, called The Conqueror. Born at Falaise, 1025. Became King of the English after the battle of Hastings (or Senlac), 14 October, 1066. Died at Rouen 9 September, 1087. Married Matilda, daughter of Baldwin, Count of Flanders. II. —William II., called Rufus. Third son of William I.— the eldest son, Robert, called Courthose, inheriting the Duchy of Normandy ; and the second, Richard, having been killed by a stag in the New Forest. Born 1056 ; died, being shot with an arrow in the New Forest, 2 August, 1100, unmarried. III. — Henry I., called Beauclerc. Fourth son of William I. Born at Selby 1070 ; died at St. Denis, in Normandy, 1 December, 1135. Married Matilda, daughter of Malcolm III., King of Scots, and of St. Margaret, daughter of Edward, son of Introductory Notes. xiii Edmund Ironsides, King of the English, who by the death of her brother, Edgar Atheling, became the heiress of line of the Saxon Kings. This marriage brought a descent from the pre-Conquest Kings of the English into the reigning Houses of England, but the actual heirship remained with the House of Scotland, through David I., the brother of Matilda. The male line of William the Conqueror ended with Henry I., whose only son, William, was drowned in 1120. The House of Blois. STEPHEN, son of Stephen Count of Blois and of Adela, daughter of William the Conqueror. Born at Blois 1104, died at Dover 25 October, 1154. Married Matilda, daughter of Eustace Count of Boulogne. The right of Stephen to the crown was disputed by the direct heir, Matilda, daughter of Henry I. A compromise was ultimately made by which Stephen was to retain the crown for life, and was to be succeeded by Henry Plantagenet, son of Matilda. By this arrangement the strictly hereditary succession of the crown through either male or female line was established. The House of Plantagenet. I. — HENRY II. — King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine. Son of Geoflfry Plantagenet (so called from his badge of Planta genista, or broom), Count of Anjou, and Matilda, daughter of Henry I., King of the English, and widow of the Emperor, Henry V. Born at Le Mans 1133, died at Chinon 6 July, 1189. Married Eleanor, daughter of William V., Duke of Aquitaine. It was to this King that Pope Adrian IV. issued a bull authorising him to take possession of Ireland, and in 11 70 the conquest of that island began under Richard de Clare, Earl of Pembroke. It was not an effective conquest for some centuries, but it is upon this, and its authorisation by Adrian IV., not upon any inheritance from the ancient Irish Kings, that the right of the English Kings to Ireland is founded. II. — Richard I., called Cceur de Lion, third son of Henry II., his two elder brothers, William and Henry, having died in their father's lifetime. Born at Oxford 1 157 ; died (being shot with an arrow) at Chalus, in Limousin, 6 April, 1199. Married Berengaria, daughter of Sancho King of Navarre, but left no children. III. — JOHN, called Lackland, King of England, Eord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, fifth son of Henry II. The true heir was Arthur, only XIV Introductory Notes. son of Geoffry, Earl of Brittany, fourth son of Henry II. (who died in 1186). Arthur was killed in 1203, and his only sister Eleanor, who would have been his heir, died unmarried in 1241. John was born at Oxford in 1166, and died at Newark 19 October, 1216. During his reign the Duchy of Normandy was lost to the English Crown, and the title of Duke of Normandy dropped, He married, first, Isabel, daughter of William Earl of Gloucester, and second, Isabel, daughter of Aymer, Count of Angouleme. IV. — HKNRY III., King of England, Lord of Ireland, and Duke of Aquitaine, eldest son of John. Born at Winchester 1206 ; died at Bury St. Edmunds^ 16 November, 1272. Married Eleanor, daughter of Raymond Berenger, Count of Provence. V. — Edward I., third son of Henry III., his two elder brothers, John and Henry, having died young. Born at Westminster 17 June, 1239 ; died at Burgh-on- Sands 7 July, 1307. Married, first, Eleanor, daughter of Ferdinand III., King of Castille, and second, Margaret, daughter of Philip III., King of France. In this reign the final subjugation of Wales by the English took place. South Wales had been conquered in 1090 by Robert Fitzhamon. VI. — Edward II., third son of Edward I., his two elder brothers having died in their father's lifetime. Born at Carnarvon 25 April, 1284 ; deposed 7 January, 1327; murdered in Berkeley Castle 21 September, 1327. Created Prince of Wales immediately after his birth. Married Isabel, daughter of Philip IV., King of France. VII. — Edward III., eldest son of Edward II. Born at Windsor 13 November, 1312 ; died at Shene 21 June, 1377. Married Philippa, daughter of William Count of Hainault. In the thirteenth year of his reign Edward III. assumed the style of "King of England and France and Eord of Ireland." The claim to the Crown of France, which was continued in the style of our Kings until 1801, was through the marriage of Edward II. with Isabel, daughter of Philip IV. On the death without issue, in 1328, of Charles IV., the last son of Philip IV., Philip VI., son of Charles Count of Valois, second son of Philip III., succeeded to the French throne. The contention of the English Kings was that, though the French law forbade a woman to succeed to the throne, it did not forbid succession through a right derived from a woman, and that, therefore, the right of the grandson of Philip IV. through his daughter was better than the right of his nephew. Introductory Notes. xv VIII. — Richard II., second son of Edward Prince of Wales, called the Black Prince, who had died in 1376, and his eldest son Edward in 1372. Born at Bordeaux 6 January, 1366 ; deposed 30 September, 1399 ; murdered in Pontefract Castle 14 February, 1400. Married, first, Anne of Bohemia, daughter of the Emperor Charles IV. ; second, Isabel, daughter of Charles VI., King of France. The House of Plantagenet — Lancaster. I. — Henry IV., eldest son of John, called of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, fourth son of Edward III. Born at Bolingbroke 1367 ; died at Westminster 20 March, 1418. Married, first, Mary de Bohun, daughter of Humphrey, Earl of Hereford ; second Joan, daughter of Charles II., King of Navarre. The title of this King was purely Parliamentary, the true heir of Richard II. being the representative of Lionel, Duke of Clarence, third son of Edward III., Edmund Mortimer, Earl of March. II. — HKNRY V., eldest son of Henry IV. Born at Monmouth 9 August, 1388 ; died at Vincennes 31 August, 1422. Married Katharine, daughter of Charles VI., King of France. In the eighth year of his reign he assumed the style of King of England, Heir and Regent of France, and Lord of Ireland. III. — HKNRY VI., King of England and France, and Lord of Ireland, only son of Henry V. Born at Windsor 6 December, 142 1 ; died in the Tower of London 21 May, 1471. Married Margaret, daughter of Rene, Duke of Anjou. Henry VI. was deposed after the second battle of St. Albans, 4 March, 146 1, in favour of Edward, Duke of York (Edward IV.), and was restored in 1470 for a few months. The controversy between the Houses of York and Lancaster cannot be better described than in the words put into the mouth of Richard Duke of York by Shakspere in King Henry VI., Part II., Act II., Scene 2 : — York. Edward the third, my lords, had seven sons : The first, Edward the Black Prince, Prince of Wales; The second, William of Hatfield ; and the third, Lionel Duke of Clarence ; next to whom Was John of Gaunt, the Duke of Lancaster ; The fifth was Edmund Langley, Duke of York ; The sixth was Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester ; William of Windsor was the seventh and last.

Born at Westminster 4 November, 1470, murdered in the Tower of Iyondon, with his only brother Richard, Duke of York, 23 June, 1483. III. — Richard III., fourth son of Richard Duke of York, the father of Edward IV. His elder brothers were Edward IV., Edmund Earl of Rutland, killed at Wakefield, 1460, leaving no heirs, and George Duke of Clarence, murdered in the Tower, 1477, who left a son Edward Earl of Warwick, who was beheaded 28 November, 1499, and a daughter, Margaret Countess of Salisbury, who married Sir Richard Pole, and had four sons, among whom was Reginald Cardinal Pole, and one daughter. Richard was born at Fotheringhay Castle 21 October, 1450, and was killed at the Battle of Bosworth, 22 August, 1485. He married Anne, daughter of Richard Nevill, Earl of Warwick, and widow of Edward, only son of Henry VI., who was killed at Tewkesbury 21 May, 147 1. Richard had one son, Edward, who died 31 March, 1484. The true heir to the crown was Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Edward IV., who married, in i486, Henry VII. The House of Ticdor . I. — HENRY VII., only son of Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond, and Margaret, daughter of John Beaufort, Earl of Somerset, second son (the eldest, Henry, died unmarried 1418) of John Beaufort, Marquess of Dorset and Earl of Somerset, son of John of Gaunt by his third wife, Catharine Roelt, widow of Sir Otes Swynford. This son and other children of John of Gaunt w^ere born before wedlock, but were legitimated by the Pope and by Act of Parliament (20 Rich. II.), an exception as regards the succession to the crown {exceftta dignitate regali) being inserted in a confirmation by Henry IV. Thus Henry VII. was considered to represent, in a sort of way, the rights, such as they were, of the House of Lancaster, though there were in existence descendants of the earlier wives of John of Gaunt. His marriage with Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Edward IV., the true heir, gave his descendants an absolute right by hereditary descent, and in consequence of this marriage, and to end the dynastic disputes, Pope Innocent VIII. , in i486, confirmed to him and his heirs the possession of the crown. He was born at Pembroke 26 July, 1455, and died at Richmond 21 April, 1509. II. — Henry VIII., King of England, France, and Ireland, Defender of the xviii Introductory Notes, Faith, and Supreme Head on Earth of the English and Irish Church. Second son of Henry VII., his elder brother, Arthur, having died without issue in 1502. Born at Greenwich 28 June, 1491 ; died at Whitehall 28 January, 1547. Married, first, Katharine, daughter of Ferdinand V., King of Spain, and widow of his brother Arthur, which marriage was annulled in 1533 ; second, Anne, daughter of Sir Thomas Boleyn, who was beheaded in 1536, the marriage having been annulled ; third, Jane, daughter of Sir John Seymour, who died in 1537 ; fourth, Anne, daughter of John, Duke of Cleves, which marriage was annulled ; 5th, Katharine, daughter of Edmund Howard, brother of Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, who was beheaded in 1542 ; 6th, Katharine, daughter of Sir Thomas Parr, and widow of (1) Edward Brough and (2) John Nevill Lord Latimer, who survived him and married Thomas Lord Seymour. III. — Edward VI. , only surviving son of Henry VIII. His mother was Jane Seymour. Born at Hampton Court 12 October, 1537 ; died, unmarried, at Greenwich 6 July, 1553. IV. — Mary I., eldest daughter of Henry VIII. by his first wife, Katharine of Arragon. Born at Greenwich 8 February, 1516; died in London 17 November, 1558. At her marriage with Philip, afterwards King of Spain, the regal style, which previously had been the same as that of Henry VIII., was altered to " Philip and Mary, King and Queen of England and France, Naples, Jerusalem, and Ireland, Defenders of the Faith, Princes of Spain and Sicily, etc." At the time of the accession of Mary an attempt was made to secure the Crown for Jane, daughter of Henry Grey, Marquess of Dorset, and of Frances, eldest daughter and heir of Mary, second daughter of Henry VII., by her second husband, Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. Lady Jane Grey was proclaimed Queen 7 July, 1553, and a few documents were issued in her name and dated as in her first and only regnal year. She was beheaded 12 February, 1554. V. — Elizabeth, Queen of England, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, daughter of Henry VIII. and Anne Boleyn. Born at Greenwich 7 September, 1583 ; died, unmarried, at Richmond 24 March, 1603. At the death of Elizabeth the Crowns of England and Scotland were united, though the style of King (or Queen) of Great Britain and Ireland was not adopted until the union of the Parliaments of England and Scotland in 1707. Till then the sovereigns were Kings of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland. Introductory Notes, xix SCOTLAND. Ths origin of the Scottish Monarchy is lost in the mists of antiquity. It is, perhaps, as well not to hazard any definite statements respecting the heroic age of Gaelic legends, or to put forward any theory respecting the Tuatha De Danann, the Firbolgs, Partholan, Nemed, the Fomorians, or the Milesians, or even Finn MacCoul, Cuchullin, and the rest of the Ossianic heroes. Suffice it to say that with the poetry there is probably mingled a fair proportion of historical fact, which has not yet been sifted satisfactorily. About the end of the fifth century we come to something more definite. At that time L-oarn Mor and Fergus, sons of Ere MacEochaidh Muinremhar were the leaders of a band of Irish colonists, subjects of the King (or of one of the Kings) of Ireland, who, under the name of Scots, migrated from Dalriada (North Antrim), in Ulster, and settled in what is now Argyll, and formed the Dalriada Kingdom. Aidan, son of Gabhran, son of Domhangart, son of Fergus, the seventh t Lord of the Dalriada, under the influence of St. Columba, made himself King of this Colony, and declared himself independent of the King of Erin, in 574, and it is with this Dalriada Scottic Kingdom that the Royal House of Scotland begins. At that time there were four Kingdoms in Scotland : — 1. The Picts, probably, but not certainly, a Gaelic race, speaking a variety of the Gaelic tongue, and governed by a race of Kings whose rule of succession was peculiar, in that brother succeeded to brother, not son to father, and, failing brothers, the succession went to the son of a sister. The Picts possessed most of the country north of the Forth and Clyde, and there were Pictish districts, about whose early history little is known, in Galloway and 'in the Manau Gododin, a district repre- sented in name by Clackmannan, to the west of Edinburgh. 2. The Cymric, or British Kingdom of Strathclyde, extending from the northern wall to the Derwent. This was governed by Kings whose succession, beginning with more or less elective rulers called Gwledigs, imitated from the Roman Emperors, gradually tended to become hereditary. This was conquered by the English King Edmund in 954, and handed over to Malcolm I., King of Scotland, that he might be Edmund's " fellow- worker on land and sea." 3. The Teutonic Kingdom of Bernicia, the northern half of Northumbria, extending along the East Coast as far north as Haddington. 4. The Kingdom of Dalriada. The succession in this State was by the system XX Introductory Notes. of Tanistry, a compromise between inheritance and election, whereby a successor, called Tanist, generally a brother, or, failing a brother, a son or nephew to the reigning King, was nominated with the latter. This differed from the Pictish rule in not insisting on succession from one generation to another through females. From the foundation of the Dalriada Kingdom under Aidan in 574, to the union of the Scots and Picts under Kenneth Mac Alpin in 844, some fifteen Kings reigned over the Dalriada Scots. The last of these, Kenneth, was the son of Alpin, son of Eochaidh, son of Aedh Fionn, son of Eochaidh Rianamhail (tenth King), son of Domhangart, son of Donald Breac (fifth King), son of Eochaidh Bnidhe (second King), son of Aidan (first King), son of Gabhran, son of Domhangart, son of Comghall, son of Fergus, son of Ere. These Dalriada Kings are not, as has been thought, mere mythical or legendary heroes. Their historical character has been clearly established by modern writers, by a careful comparison of the independent records and chronicles of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, and though the dates and exact sequence of the Kings have not been quite clearly defined, and the history of many of them is very obscure, there is no doubt that it has been clearly established that Kenneth Mac Alpin was the direct male descendant of Aidan and Fergus. The pedigree given above is taken from that in Dr. Reeves's edition of Adamnan's Life of St. Columba, which is itself taken from a comparison of the Book of Ballymote, the Book of Eecon, the Duan Albanach, the Annals of Tighernach and Ulster, and other early Gaelic authorities. Kenneth succeeded to the Dalriada in about 839. It seems probable that his or his father's mother was of the Pictish royal house, and that there was a pretext of inheritance in his conquest and acquisition of the Pictish Kingdom in 844.

There were twelve claimants, of whom five, being descended from illegitimate children of William the Eion, and a sixth, descending from a natural daughter of Alexander II., could have no possible right, while Florence, Count of Holland, descending from Ada, daughter of David I., and John Eord Hastings, from Ada, youngest daughter of David, son of Henry, son of David I., had very little chance. The principal competitors were : — 1.— John Baliol, son of Devorgoil, daughter of Margaret, eldest daughter of David, Earl of Huntingdon, third son of Henry, son of David I.

The present representative of Devorgoil, the mother of John Baliol, is Robert, Duke of Parma, whose mother was the daughter of Charles, Duke of Berri, son of Charles X. of France. The succession to whatever the rights of the Baliols may have been came to the Royal House of France through the family of St. Pol, from Christina Eindsay, daughter of Ada, sister of John Baliol (and wife of William Eindsay of Eamberton), who married Ingelram Sire de Courcy. After the abdication of John Baliol, Scotland was under the dominion of Edward I., King of England, until his death in 1307, when, after a period of constant war, its independence was secured by the victory of Bannockburn in 13 14.

IV. — JAMES II., third son of Charles I. Born at St. James's 15 October, 1633 ; deposed 2 February, 1689 ; died at St. Germains 16 September, 1701. Married, first, Anne, daughter of Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon ; second, Mary Beatrix, daughter of Alphonso III., Duke of Modena. Except for the temporary usurpation of the House of Lancaster in England, the change of succession which followed the expulsion of James II. was the first break in the direct line of inheritance, in England, from Henry II. ; in Scotland, from Robert I., at which periods the rules of succession had been for the first time clearly defined. In 1688 it was he-ld that it was against "the welfare of this Protestant Kingdom to be ruled by a Popish Prince," and that James II., having, by leaving the Kingdom, abdicated the government, the throne was thereby vacant, and the country might freely elect a new King, whose only indispensable qualification should be that he must be a Protestant. Nevertheless, the Revolution changed as little as possible, and, save for this one important qualification, the final settlement followed, and still follows, the old rules of succession, only adherents of the Roman Catholic religion having been excluded. The first Act of Settlement (the Declaration and Bill of Rights of the Convention of 1689) conferred the Crown xxvi Introductory Notes. on Mary, eldest daughter of James II., and her husband, William of Orange, excluding only her father and her infant brother James Prince of Wales, whom the Protestant party affected to believe to be a supposititious child. The succession was settled first on the descendants of Mary, then, failing those, on Anne, second daughter of James II., and, failing issue of Anne, on the descendants of William by any other wife. This arrangement, but for the exclusion of James Prince of Wales, was strictly in accordance with hereditary right, for William, in right of his mother, Mary, eldest daughter of Charles I., was the next heir after Anne, and had he left descendants they, since the failure of the line of James by the death of Cardinal York in 1807, would now represent the strictly direct line. But neither he nor his wife nor his sister-in-law left issue, and " An Act for the further limitation of the Crown," generally known as the Act of Settle- ment, was passed (by a majority of one in the Commons) in 1701. By this the Crown, in case of the death without issue of Anne, was settled on the Electress Sophia of Hanover, youngest daughter of Elizabeth, daughter of James I., "who is hereby declared to be the next in succession in the Protestant line to the Imperial crown and dignity," and to her heirs, being Protestants. By this Act were excluded not only James Prince of Wales and -his sister Louisa (born in 1692), but the descendants of Henrietta Duchess of Orleans, daughter of Charles I., then represented by Anne Duchess of Savoy and her four children ; of Charles Eouis, Elector- Palatine, eldest son of Elizabeth, daughter of James I., then represented by his daughter, Charlotte Elizabeth Duchess of Orleans, her two children and one grandchild; of Edward, fourth son of Elizabeth, then represented by his two daughters, Anne Princess of Conde, with her four children and twelve grand- children, and Benedicta, wife of Duke John Frederick of Hanover, with her two children and seven grandchildren, and three children of his daughter Eouisa Princess of Salm; and Eouisa, the eldest daughter of Elizabeth, who died unmarried in 1709, in all forty-two persons, all Roman- Catholics, whose descendants, the senior of whom is H.R.H. Mary Theresa, daughter of Prince Ferdinand of Modena, and Consort of Prince Eouis of Bavaria, now number some six hundred. The House of Nassau- Stuart.

In 1489 he was created Prince of Wales, and was sent by his father tc reside in Ludlow Castle, where he established a court of government for Wales and the Marches. Little is known of his life during this period, except that he developed at an early age a display of precocious talents and a gentle and amiable disposition. In November, 1501, he married Katherine of Aragon, then in her eighteenth year. After their marriage the young prince and his bride repaired to Ludlow Castle, where he shortly afterwards died, on April 20, 1 502. He was buried at Worcester. Small, three-quarter length figures.

Katherine Parr, sixth wife of Henry VIIL, born in 15 13, was the daughter of Sir Thomas Parr, of Kendal, Master of the Wards and Comptroller of the King's Household, and Mary, daughter of Sir Thomas Green, of Boughton. At an early age she married, first, Edward Borough,, afterwards Lord Borough, who died in 1529, and, secondly, John Neville, Lord Latimer, who died at the close of 1542. Soon after his death Katherine became a Protestant, of which creed she remained on earnest friend and defender. On the death of her second husband, she was immediately sought in marriage by Sir Thomas Seymour, brother of the deceased Queen Jane, and had already consented, when she received the alarming and unwelcome news that she had been selected for the sixth wife of the King. It was impossible to resist the royal will, and she became Henry's wife, July 12, 1543. After the death of Henry she married her old lover, Sir Thomas Seymour, then Lord Admiral of England, but her married life was rendered unhappy by his neglect. She died in childbed at Sudeley Castle, in Gloucestershire, September 5, 1548,. and was buried in the chapel there, where her remains were found in 1782.

Her ungraceful manner disgusted Henry at first sight ; he, however, determined to complete his engagement, and married her at Greenwich, January 6, 1540. His aversion increasing after marriage, the king determined to obtain a divorce, and having granted her a pension of ^"3,000 with the title of " Sister," she retired to Chelsea, where she died July 16, 1557. i6 Portraits.

She became in 1527 maid of honour to Queen Katherine, and speedily attracted the king's favour. On November 14, 1532, she was privately married to Henry, though his marriage with Katherine was not annulled till some months later, and on the Whit Sunday of the following year she was publicly crowned at Westminster Abbey. On September 7, 1533, her daughter Elizabeth was bom. She was beheaded on Tower Hill, May 19, 1530, according to Holinshed, by the hangman of Calais with a sword, but a Spaniard who was present at the execution states that it was a headsman from St. Omer, whom Henry sent for a week before.

By Henry VIII. 's will he was nominated one of his executors, and governor of his son ; but was soon afterwards declared Protector of the Kingdom. In 1548 he was appointed Lord Treasurer, created Duke of Somerset, and made Earl Marshal of England. The same year he marched into Scotland and gained the victory of Musselburgh ; yet, though he /raised his reputation, he could not counteract the plotting of his greatest enemy, the Earl • of Warwick, and on his return was accused of high treason, and executed on Tower Hill, January 22, 1552.

' ' Behind the large figure of the queen are two small figures of women dressed in black with white ruffs, conversing and lamenting the fate of their mistress the queen. These figures represent Jane Kenmethie and Elizabeth Curie. This painting is one of the so-called " memorial " pictures, which belong to a class of portraits designed to commemorate the death of the queen. The following account was rendered to Burleigh by his agent, an eye-witness of the scene in the hall at Fotheringhay, who is probably represented by the figure making notes near the scaffold. The reporter, after describing at length the preparations for the execution, and Mary's demeanour and approach to the hall, thus proceeds with his narrative : — " Then she began to kiss her crucifix, and to cross hirself saying these wordes, 'Even as Thy armes, oh, Jesu Christ, were spreadd heer upon the cross, so receive me into the armes of mercye.' Then the two executioners kneeled downe unto hir, desiring hir to forgive them hir death. Shee answered, ' I forgive yow with all my harte. For I hope this death shall give an end to all my troubles.' They, with hir two weomen helping, began to disroabe hir, and then shee layde the crucifix upon the stoole. One of the executioners tooke from hir neck the Agnus Dei, and shee layde hold of it, saying shee would give it to one of hir weomen, and withall, told the executioner that he should have monye for it. Then they took off hir chayne„ Shee made hirself unready with a kinde of gladnes, and smiling, putting on a payer of sleeves with hir owne hands which the two executioners before had rudely putt off, and with such speed, as if shee had longed to be gone out of the worlde. " During the disroabing of this queen, shee never altered hir countenance, but smiling sayde shee never had such groomes before to make hir unreadye, nor ever putt of [off J hir cloathes before such a companye. At lengthe unattyred and unapparelled to hir petticoat and kirtle, the two weomen burst out into a great and pittiful shrieking, crying, and lamentation^ crossed themselves, and prayed in Lattine. The queen turned towards them : ' Ne cry vous, fay preye pur vous ; ' and so crossed and kissed them, and bad them praye for hir. Then with a smiling countenance shee turned to hir man servantes, Melvin and the rest, crossed them, badd them farwell, and pray for hir to the last. " One of the women having a Corpus Christi cloathe, lapped it upp three corner wise,, and kissed it and put it over the face of hir queen, and pynned it fast to the caule of hir head. Then the two woemen departed. The queen kneeled downe upon the cushion resolutely and, without any token of feare of deathe, sayde allowde in Lattin the psalme, ' hi te, do?nine r 24 Portraits. [West Gallery. confido? Then groaping for the block, shee layde downe hir head, putting hir chain over hir backe with bothe hir handes, which, holding their still, had been cut off, had they not been espyed. ''Then shee layde hirself upon the block most quietly, and stretching out hir armes and legges cryed out ; " In manus tuas, domine, commendo sfiirittim meum" three or four times. " At lastt while one of the Executioners held hir streightly with one of his handes, the other gave two strokes with an axe before he did cutt of [off] hir head, and yet lefte a little grissle behind. Shee made very smale noyse, no part stirred from the place where shee laye. The Executioners lifted upp the head, and bad God save the Queen. Then hir dressinge of Lawne fell from hir head, which appeared as graye as if shee had byn three score and ten yeares olde, povvled very shorte. Hir face much altred, hir lipps stired upp and downe almost a quarter of an hower after hir head was cut off. Then sayde Mr. Deane [Fletcher of Peterborough], ' So perish all the Queen's ennemyes.'"

A piece of the Ribbon of the Garter, worn by Charles I. on the scaffold. Miniatures of Charles I. and Queen Henrietta, copied by Sarah Countess of Essex from originals belonging to the Duke of Portland. Locket, with hair of Charles I. There is a pathetic interest attached to this relic of the pall. See Sir T. Herbert's Memoirs : " The Royal Corps being embalmed and coffined, and lapped in Lead, and covered with a new velvet-Pall, was removed to the King's House at St. James's [St. James's Palace] where was great pressing by all sorts of People to see the King, or where he was. A doleful Spectacle ! But few had leave to enter and behold it." The same, or a similar pall, had been, according to Herbert, already used. "Mr. Herbert, during this [the execution of the King] was at the door [of the Banquetting House], lamenting ; and the Bishop [Juxon] coming thence with the Royal Corps, which was immediately coffined, and covered with a black velvet-Pall," he and Mr. Herbert went with it to the backstairs to be embalmed." Again, at the interment in St. George's Chapel, at the instance of Herbert " accordingly the corps was thither carried from St. James', in a hearse covered with black velvet, drawn by six horses, also covered with black." " This is memorable, that at such time as the King's body was brought out of St. George's Hall, the sky was serene and clear, but presently it began to snow, and fell so fast, as by that time they came to the West-end of the Royal Chapell, the black velvet pall was all white (the colour of Innocency), being thick cover' d over with Snow. So went the White King to his Grave, in the 48th year of his age and the 22nd year and 10th month of his reign. Letting pass Merlyn's Prophecies, some make it allude to the white Sattin his Majesty wore when he was crowned in Westminster Abbey in the year 1625, former kings having on purple Robes at their Coronations." This refers to the fact that, notwithstanding a very threatening prophecy, popularly attributed to Merlin, disasters of all sorts would attend the coming of a " White King" to the throne of England, Charles had, the day being that of the Feast of the Purification, or "to declare the virgin purity with which he came to be espoused to his kingdom," deliberately elected to be attired in white when he was crowned at Westminster. The publication by William Lilly in 1644, entitled "A Prophecy of the White King," had renewed the super- stitions here alluded to. s Lent by The Earl of Essex. 252. Mary I. By Lucas de Heere.

A Book of Hours, said to have belonged to Queen Mary, and to have been used on the scaffold in the great hall of Fotheringay Castle, Februaiy 8, 1587. If so, it may be that referred to in the acount of the circumstance which was given to Cecil : " All the Assembly, save the Queen and hir servantes, sayde the prayer after Mr. Deane [Dr. Fletcher, the Protestant Dean of Peterborough, who had been appointed to pray with Mary, and whom she and all her entourage rejected] as he spake it, during which prayer the Queen satt upon hir stoole, having hir Agnus Dei, crucifixe, beades, and an office in Lattyn. Thus furnished with superstitious trumpery, not regarding what Mr. Deane sayde, shee began verie fastly with tears and a lowde voice to praye in Lattin, and in the midst of her prayers, with overmuch weeping and mourning, slipt of [off] hir stoole, and, kneeling presently, sayde divers other Lattin prayers. Then she rose and kneeled downe agayne, praying in English, for Christe's afflicted church, an end of hir troubles, for hir sonne, and for the Queen's majestye, to God for his forgiveness of the sinns of them in the islande : shee forgave hir enemyes with all hir harte that had longe sought his bloud." She is otherwise described as, on another occasion, using a Prayer Book in English. Again, in the narrative of Nicholas White of his visit to Tutbury Castle in 1569 : " This much [conversation] past, she heerd the English [Roman Catholic] service with a book of Psalms in English in her hand, which she showed me after. "When service was done, her grace fell in talk with me of sundry matters, from six to seven of the clock, beginning first to excuse her ill English [the language she must have chiefly used since her arrival in Scotland in 1561] declaring herself more willing than apt to learn in that language, how she used translations as a means to attain it ; and that Mr. Vice-Chamberlain was her good schoolmaster." On this occasion Queen Mary was thus minutely described by an official reporter to Cecil : — "The sayde 8 day of Februarye being comme, and tyme and place for the execution, the sayde Queen being of stature tall, of body corpulent, rownde shouldred, hir face fatt and broade, double- chinned, and hazell-eyed, her borrowed hair aborne [auburn], her attyre was this. On hir head shee had a dressing of lawrel edged with bone lace, a pomander chayne and an Agnus Dei about hir necke, a Crucifix in hir hande, a payre of beads [rosary] at hir girdle, and a silver cross at the end of them. A vayle of lawn fastned to hir caul bowed out with wyer [wire], and edged round about with boane lace. Hir gowne was of black sattin painted [embroidered], with a trayne and long sleeves to the grownde, sett with acorne buttons of Jett trymmed with pearle, and shorte sleeves of sattyn black cutt [slashed, to show the sleeves within], with a payre of sleeves of purple velvett whole under them. Her kirtle whole [not slashed] of figured black sattin, and hir petticoate skirtes of Crimson velvett, hir shoes of Spannish leather with the rough side owtward, a payree of greene silke garters." The last articles were seen when, after the beheading, one of the executioners " plucked " them off and " espyed hir little dogg which was crept under hir cloathes, which would not be gotten foorth but with force, and afterwards would not departe from the dead corps, but camme andlayde between hir head and shoulders ; a thing much noted. The dogg embrewed in 6o Relics. [West Gallery. hir bloud was cairyed awaye and washed, as al things els were that had any bloud, save those thinges which were burned. The Executioners were sent awaj^e with money for their fees, not having any one thynge that belonged unto hir." This was designed to prevent the obtaining of relics for the Roman Catholics, who, it was anticipated, would affirm the Queen was a martyr in their faith. Special precautions on this point, even extending to stipulations with Mary herself, before she was allowed to have the attendance of her women, a service primarily denied to her, were taken that no one should be allowed to dip a handkerchief in her blood. Unless she had promised this should not be done, as she did, she must have gone to the block unattended by a friend. The uses to which relics of this nature had been put by friends of sufferers on the block stiffened the resolutions of Mary's executioners that nothing of the kind should be obtained on this account. See the speech reported of the Earl of Kent on this occasion. Various handkerchiefs were dipped in the blood of King Charles the First. The account continues thus : " Hir nether stockings worsted coulored watchet, checked with siber, and next hir leg a payre of Jarsye [Jersey, or knitted] hose, white, etc. Thus apparrelled, she departed hir chamber, and willinglye bended hir steppes towardes the place of execution." Inside the Book of Prayer alleged to have been used by Mary on this occasion some particulais are given. In the library at Stonyhurst College, brought from Liege in 1794, there is preserved a Livrede fleures, dated 1558, and said to have been Queen Mary's. It is now in this gallery. Another is mentioned as containing a note in the handwriting of James II., stating that it was used by her on the scaffold. — See Notes and Queries, 1st series, iv. 418.

Col. Salusbury was an adherent of the Royal cause in Denbighshire, who led a body of half-armed Welshmen at the battle of Edgehill, where they formed almost the sole reserve of infantry, and, it was alleged, did not distinguish themselves (see Clarendon, History of the Rebellion, iii. 327) ; but, to redeem themselves from this imputation, they took part in a furious assault on the Londoners at Brentford in 1642, and were led by Prince Rupert (see Rupert and the Cavaliers, by E.

ENGLISH GOLD AND SILVER COINS. 656. LENT BY MESSRS. W. S. LINCOLN & SON. The series of English Coins exhibited extends from the conquest of England by William of Normandy to the present time. The coins shown are of gold and silver, the copper money not having been established until the reign of Charles II. The money of the Norman Kings to the reign of Henry III. consisted only of silver pennies, which were struck to the weight of twenty grains each. On one side, the obverse, is represented the head of the sovereign, with his name and title, and on the other side, the reverse, usually a cross of various patterns and forms, and around, the name of the moneyer who had charge of the issue of the coin, and the name of the mint at # which it was struck. Heniy III. made an attempt to introduce a gold currency in the form also of a penny, which was to be current at twenty silver pennies ; but the attempt failed, and English gold money does not virtually begin till 1343, when Edward III. issued florins (current for six shillings), half-florins, and quarter- florins ; but these were quickly followed by the noble (current for six shillings and eightpence), the half and quarter-noble. Edward III. also added the groat and half- groat to the silver money, the halfpenny and farthing having been introduced by his predecessor, Edward I. The next change which took place was the issue (in 1465) of the gold angel and half-angel by Edward IV., so called from its type, which represents the archangel piercing the dragon. It was current for six shillings and eightpence, the value of the noble being raised to ten shillings. A new denomination in gold, consisting of the sovereign, also so called because the King is represented seated on his throne, was struck by Henry VII., and his son, Henry VIII., added the double sovereign, half-sovereign, crown, half-crown, &c, all of gold, both Kings also striking the shilling in silver. To these silver coins Edward VI. added the crown, half-crown, and sixpence, and it was in his reign (1547) that we meet with the first dated English coins. After her marriage with Philip of Spain, Mary placed also his portrait on the money, and they are represented facing one another, "Amorous and fond and billing." Elizabeth increased the number of small silver denominations, and made several changes in the types, especially in the gold pieces. During the previous reigns of Henry VIII. to Mary the coinage had been considerably debased, but Elizabeth restored it to its former standard of fineness, and since that time no change has been made in that respect, except an alteration of the types and the addition of a few more gold coins to the series. The accession of the House of Stuart to the English throne brought about no change in the money of this country ; but the period of the Civil War is distinctly marked by special issues. Local mints were established, large pieces in gold of the current value of three pounds were struck, and others in silver of twenty shillings and ten shillings, and at the same time 94 English Gold and Silver Coins. [North Gallery. some of the towns in a state of siege issued a special currency, mostly silver, called " siege pieces," or "money of necessity." Specimens of this class struck at Newark and Pontefract are shown here, and to these are added a few similar pieces struck in Ireland at the same time (1643) by James Duke of Ormonde, as Lord Lieutenant, and hence called ''Ormonde Money." During the Commonwealth the coinage was considerably simplified, and the inscriptions were in English instead of Latin. Cromwell desired to issue a coinage bearing his own portrait {see specimen shown) ; but, though the coins were struck both in gold and silver, they were never put into circulation. Soon after the accession of Charles II. (1663) the name of the sovereign was changed to that of guinea for the gold piece, which was derived from Guinea, in Africa, whence a large proportion of the gold used at the Mint was imported by the African Company. It was current at first for twenty shillings, but rose under William III. to twenty-eight shillings, on account of the poor state of the silver money, but was reduced to twenty-one shillings under George I., and remained at that value till it was superseded by the sovereign in 1816. Except the issue of five and two guinea pieces, from Charles II. to George II., no other changes in the coinage were of importance ; but it may be mentioned that from the Restoration all coins are struck by machinery, i.e., by the mill and screw, and not "hammered," thus giving them a more even and rounder form, the edges not being split, as so often occurred in the case where only the hammer was used. The more recent changes in the coinage^ of England are so well known that it is not necessary to make any mention of them here. To the Coins is added a series of Coronation Medals, from James I., their first appearance, to Victoria. Central Hall.] Drawings, Arms, Armour, &c. 95 CENTRAL HALL. DRAWINGS, ARMS, ARMOUR, &c. 657.

With such a small collection of Armour and Arms as is shown in this Exhibition, it is, on the face of it, quite impossible even to attempt a rough chronological display, a complete one being an utter impossibility, even had we the arsenals and armouries of Europe at our disposal to choose from. Centuries would pass unre- presented, the earlier medieval times would be without a single exhibit, for the reason that no remains of defensive armour of the nth, 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries exist. I do not say there are not a few genuine conical helmets of the 12th and 13th centuries, and a helmet here and there in the various national armouries of the early part of the 14th century, but these specimens can be easily counted on the fingers of the two hands, and are as far from being " borrowable" for a loan exhibition as is the lion of St. Mark. With defensive arms it is somewhat different, for really fine swords are in existence in private collections dating from a period as far back as our Norman Conquest. Even in this collection we are fortunate in possessing a splendid Sword, lent by Mr. Morgan Williams, found in the* River Thames at Westminster, that can 9 6 Drawings ; Arms, Armour, &c. [Central Hall. safely be assigned to the ioth century, whilst another is shown of the ioth or nth century, also exhumated from the same riverbed, but at Bray, near Maidenhead. This sword is of a type familiar to us as that used by the Norman invaders, depicted in the celebrated Bayeux Tapestries Chain mail armour is not represented, for two reasons : in the first place, it is hard to display satisfactorily, and, in the second, its nationality and period is always open to doubt, for a mail hauberk that may have been for years accepted as a European example of the 13th or 14th century is just as likely to be of compara- tively modern Oriental, probably Soudanese, make. As chain armour, with the exception of a single coif that was found in London, is unrepresented in this collection, so also is its latter development of the 14th century — mixed chain and plate — for the good excuse that none exists in our British collections, save perhaps a wonderful little pair of knee pieces {Genouillieres) in the collection of the late Sir Noel Paton, which were, unfortunately, unattainable. Our exhibit of helmets starts with the early part of the 15th century, a fine bascinet, lent by Mr. Edward Barry ; our suits with a harness, lent by L/Ord Zouche, comprehensively of Gothic fashion, but, alas! too much restored to be a really authentic document of its period, the last quarter of the 15th century. With the j6th century one's list is more complete, for it comprises a series of defensive armour, from the pretty fluted and engraved Maximilian half-suit, to the superb embossed russet and gold suit of Henri II. of France. The same thing may apply to the defensive arms of later date, and many could have been borrowed, but they would be nearly all repeating forms and fashions that are here satisfactorily represented by a single specimen.
