aded the
party in Scotland most opposed to the English. He expelled the
queen-mother, Margaret, sister of Henry; he seized the persons of the two
young princes, whom he shut up in Stirling, where the younger brother died
under suspicion of foul play (_Despatches of_ GIUSTINIANI, vol. i. p. 157);
and subsequently, in his genius for intrigue, he gained over the queen
dowager herself in a manner which touched her honour.--Lord Thomas Dacre to
Queen Margaret: ELLIS, second series, vol. i. p. 279.

[631] Commission of the Bishop of Paris: LEGRAND, vol. iii; BURNET, vol.
iii. p. 128; FOXE, vol. v. p. 106-111. The commission of the Bishop of
Bayonne is not explicit on the extent to which the pope had bound himself
with respect to the sentence. Yet either in some other despatch, or
verbally through the Bishop, Francis certainly informed Henry that the Pope
had promised that sentence should be given in his favour. We shall find
Henry assuming this in his reply; and the Archbishop of York declared to
Catherine that the pope "said at Marseilles, that if his Grace would send a
proxy thither he would give sentence for his Highness against her, because
that he knew his cause to be good and just."--_State Papers_, vol. i. p.
421.

[633] I hear of a number of Gelders which be lately reared; and the opinion
of the people here is that they shall go into England. All men there speak
evil of England, and threaten it in their foolish manner.--Vaughan to

[635] Parties were so divided in England that lookers-on who reported any
one sentiment as general there, reported in fact by their own wishes and
sympathies. D'Inteville, the French ambassador, a strong Catholic, declares
the feeling to have been against the revolt. Chastill
