tnote D: Henry V. was present, as Prince of Wales, at the Battle of
Shrewsbury, before he was sixteen; and there is some reason for
supposing that he commanded the royal forces in the Battle of Grosmont,
fought and won in his eighteenth year. He was but twenty-eight at
Agincourt. Splendid as was his military career, it was all over before
he had reached to thirty-six years. The Black Prince was but sixteen at
Crecy, and in his twenty-seventh year at Poitiers. Edward IV. was not
nineteen when he won the great Battle of Towton, and that was not his
first battle and victory. He was always successful. Richard III., as
Duke of Gloucester, was not nineteen when he showed himself to be an
able soldier, at Barnet; and he proved his generalship on other fields.
William I., Henry I., Stephen, Henry II., Richard I., Edward I., Edward
III., Henry IV., and William III. were all distinguished soldiers. The
last English sovereign who took part in a battle was George II., at
Dettingen.]

and Genealogical Register_, No. II. p. 192. The moral lapse of the first
minister of Hampton at the age of fourscore is referred to in the third
number of the same periodical. Goody Cole, the Hampton witch, was twice
imprisoned for the alleged practice of her arts.]
