for a short time he submitted to Henry IV. The history
of his famous rebellion with the Percys, and the trick by which he was
captured, is well known. He was taken to his own palace at Bishopthorpe,
and there Gascoign, the famous Chief Justice, greatly to the king's
wrath, refused to try him. He was condemned to death by a creature of
the king, not even a judge, and beheaded near to York. He was buried in
the minster, and was long lamented and almost worshipped by the people.

#Henry Bowet# (1407-1423). After Scrope's execution the see remained
vacant for over two years. In the meantime, Thomas Longley, Dean of
York, and Robert Halom or Hallam were nominated to the see, but, for
different reasons, were not confirmed in the appointment. Bowet had been
Bishop of Bath and Wells. He built a great hall to his castle at Cawood,
where he died, and was buried in the east end of the cathedral, near the
altar of All Saints, which he had built. His beautiful tomb may still be
seen.

#John Kemp# (1426-1452) had been Bishop of Rochester, Chichester, and
London. He was the nominee of the king and the dean and chapter, as
opposed to the Pope, who proposed Fleming, Bishop of London. The Pope,
whose power was fast decaying in England, at length submitted. Kemp, who
was, it is said, of humble birth, rose to be Cardinal, first of St.
Balbria, and afterwards of St. Rupria. He was translated finally to
Canterbury.

In 1432 he went as ambassador to the Council of Bale. He built a
gatehouse to the palace at Cawood. He died soon after his translation to
Canterbury.

#William Booth# or #Bothe# (1452-1464) had been a lawyer, and Bishop of
Lichfield. He repaired the palaces at Southwell and York, and died at
Southwell, where he was buried.

#George Neville# (1464-1476), by the interest of his brother Warwick,
the king-maker, became Bishop of Exeter at the age of twenty-three. He
was not thirty when made archbishop. His installation was the most
splendid ceremony of the kind hitherto seen, but his tenure of the see
was marked by many troubles. When Edward IV. was captured by Warwick at
Oundle he was given into the custody of the archbishop, who treated him
with great courtesy and freedom, so that he soon escaped to London. Soon
after Edward captured the archbishop and imprisoned him; but soon
released him and restored him to his see. Again he was arrested for high
treason and sent to Calais, the king having plundered all his plate and
