so seductive as to command the admiration even of those who knew him to

[J] "The heart of Emma clung more and more to her native land. Her
feelings were inherited by the children who were afterward born to
her,--they imbibed them at their mother's breast. Their hearts were
thoroughly alienated from England, and the Normans and Normandy became
as their kindred and their home."--Palgrave, Vol. III. p. 112. Edward's
wife was Editha, daughter of Earl Godwin, and sister of Harold.

[M] The legitimate descent of Queen Victoria from the Conqueror is
sometimes disputed, because it is not correctly traced, in consequence
of the line of descent being carried back through Henry VII., instead of
being carried through his wife, _nee_ Elizabeth Plantagenet. It may not
be uninteresting to state the royal pedigree, which is at times rather

Frederick V., Elector Palatine and "Winter King" of Bohemia), who was
daughter of James I. (Sixth of Scotland), who was son of Mary, Queen of
Scots (by Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley), who was daughter of James V., who
was son of Margaret Tudor (by James IV.), who was daughter of Elizabeth
Plantagenet (by Henry VII.), who was daughter of Edward IV., who was son
of Richard, Duke of York, who was son of Anne Mortimer (by Richard
Plantagenet, Earl of Cambridge, son of Edmund, Duke of York, fifth son
of Edward III.), who was daughter of Roger, Earl of Marche, who was son
of Philippe (by Edmund, Earl of Marche), who was daughter of Lionel,
Duke of Clarence, third son of Edward III., who was son of Edward II.,
who was son of Edward I., who was son of Henry III., who was son of
John, who was son of Henry II., who was son of Matilda (by Geoffrey
Plantagenet, Count of Anjou), who was daughter
