V, Part 1), and afterwards sold by her to the Prince of
Wales for 200 pounds (_Rot. Ex, Michs_, 1 H. V); apparently released
on accession of Henry the Fifth, 1413; married, 1414-16, Anne, daughter
of Edmund Earl of Stafford, and his wife Princess Anne of Gloucester;
sat as judge on his brother-in-law's trial--with regard to whose crime,
if the indictment were true, March must have been himself chief
witness,--August 5th, 1415; received pardon for all offences, August
7th. The next mention of him is that he was living in Ireland, July
10th, 1424; and it was in Ireland, at Trim Castle, that he died, January
19th, 1425, aged 33. He was buried at Stoke Clare. He left no issue,
and his widow remarried John de Holand, Earl of Huntingdon. The last
mention of his brother Roger as living occurs on the Rolls, August 26th,
1404; but we are told that he was one of the boys stolen by Constance in
February, 1405. After that nothing is heard of him but that he died
young; probably before his brother's release, as his age would then have
been at least fifteen. His sister Alianora married Edward Courtenay,
and died issueless.

YORK, EDMUND PLANTAGENET, FIRST DUKE.

Sixth son (but fourth who reached manhood) of Edward the Third and
Philippa of Hainault Born at Langley, June 5th, 1341; baptised by
Nicholas Abbot of Saint Albans; and committed to the care of Joan de
Oxenford, Agnes de La Marche, and Margery de Wyght. He was brought up
in the nursery palace at Chilterne, or Children's Langley, Herts. On
the 8th of February, 1362, ambassadors were appointed to contract
marriage between Edmund and Margaret Duchess of Burgundy. The marriage
was appointed to take place at Bruges, February 4th, 1365; but Pope
Urban refused to grant a dispensation (urged by the King of France, who
wanted the Princess for his son), and the negotiations came to nothing.
Edmund was created Earl of Cambridge and Lord of Teviotdale, November
14th, 1362. In 1366 his name appears in the marriage treaty of his
brother Lionel with Violante Visconti of Milan, which provided that
Edmund should be substituted for Lionel if his brother died before the
marriage. From 1369 to 1371 the Earl was on the Continent with his
brothers, the Black Prince and the Duke of Lancaster. It was at
Rochefort, near Bordeaux, about November, 1369, that Edmund first saw
his future wife, the Infanta Isabel of Castilla; but he did not marry
her until 1372. In 1374 he was Governor of
