The Roual Families of England.
COSTMBl'TEIl.
Edmund Mortimer, a descendant
of Richard II's uncle Lionel, Duke
of Clarence, who was third son of
Edward III, was he;r presumptive
to the Crown after Richard II, but
parliament set aside the direct line
of descent and accepted Henry I J
Duke of Lancaster, son of John
of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, who
was fourth sou of Edward III, thus
making Henry IV first king of
the Lancastrian period.
Henry died at the age of forty
seven after a rather troubled reign
f fourteen years, and was succeed
ed by bis son, Henry V, who had
been a rather reckless youth, but
became sobered by the weight of the
crown. Only two years after his
marriage to Princess Catherine, of
i ranee, he died at the age of thirty-
tour, in the tenth year of his reign,
having his infant son, Henry VI,
King of England and France.
Henry's health and character were
alike, feeble, and he proved to be
but the shaaow or a king.
At thiage of twenty-five he married
the beautiful and unfortunate Mar
garet, of Anjou, who was by far the
better man of the two. When years
of disaster came this dauntless
"queen of tears" headed councils,,
led armies, and ruled both the king,
and kingdom. It is said on high
authority that the royal couple were
sometimes in actual want of a dinner.
Their sou, Prince Edward, was
slain in battle at Tewkesbury. The
King died in prison, some say was
murdered at the age of fifty. At
this period the Yorkist Edward IV,
son of Richard, Duke of York, who ! ten vears of
was a descendant of Edward III, j was intrusted
daughter of Edward IV and heir of
the House of lork, atd thus united
the claims of the rival houses of
York and Lancaster, nenry gain
ed more by the marriages of his chil
dren and by diplomacy than other
mouarchs had by their wars. He
gave his daughter, Margaret, to
King James IV of Scotland and
thus prepared the way for the union
of the two kingdoms. His eldest
son, Prince Arthur to Catherine, of
Aragon, daughter of the king of
Spain by which he secured a very
large marriage portion for the
Prince, and tbe alliance of Spain
against ranee. Arthur died soon
afterward, and the king had his
youngest s n, Henry, to marry Ar
thur's widow. It was this prince
who eventually became king of
England with the title of Henry
VI II, and we shall see that this mar
riage was destined by its results to
change the whole course of the
country's history. Henry was six
times married. He was divorced
from his first . wife, Catherine, to
marry Anne Boleyn. His third
wife Jane Seymour, mother of Ed
ward VI, died and he married Anne
Cleves, divorced from her and mar
ried Ca'heriue Howard, who was
executed on a charge of infidelity.
The sixth wife, Catherine Parr, sur
vived the King. Disease so much
aggravated the natural violence of
Henry that his oldest friends fell
victims to his tyrannv. Henry died
at the ageof 56, after reigning thirty
eight years, and was succeeded by
his son Edward I who was only
age. His education

The Lancastrian aud Yorkist reigns
covered a period of about eighty-six
years, from 1399-1485.
Now Henry Tudor becomes the
central figure and will ascend the
throne as Henry VII. He was son
of Edmud, Earl of Eichmond, who
was son of Owen Tudor and Cather
ine of France, widow of Henry V.
Henry VIl's mother, Margaret, was
the only child of John, Duke of
Somerset, grandson of John of
Gaunt. On the usurpatioa of
Richard III, Henry was turned to
as the representative of th House
of Lancaster. He assembled a body
of troops against Richard at Bos
worth, defeating him, and was pro
claimed king on the field of battle,
his right being recognized by Parlia
ment. Henry married Elizabeth,
The reign of Elizabeth was Eu
rope's grandest age. It was a time
everything was bursting into life
and color. Tbe world had sudden
ly grown larger and it was an age,
not only of brave deeds, but of high
thoughts. Elizabeth was never mar
ried. Her vanity was as insatiable
as it was ludicrous. It is said she
issued a proclamation forbidding
anyone to sell her picture for fear
it should fail to do her justice.
She was greody of flattery when long
past 60.
The death of the great Queen
was as sad as her life had been
brilliant. She died at tbe age of
70, after reigning about 45 years
