RIOTING POPULAR IN IRELAND. CHAPTER XVII. As aresult of the Bosworth victory Heury Tudor obtained the use of the throne from 1485 to 1509. He saw at -once by means of an eagle eye that with the house of York so popular among his people, nothing but a firm hand and eternal vigilance eould maintain his sovereignty. He kept the young Earl of Warwick, son of the Dnke of Clarence, carefully indoors with mas sive iron gewgaws attached to his legs, thus teaching him to be back ward about iningling in the-false joys of society Heury Tudor is known to history as Henry VII, and caused some adverse criticism by delaying his nuptials with the Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Ed ward LY. A pleasing practical joke at this time came near plunging the country into a bloody war. A rumor having gone forth that the Earl of Warwick had escaped from the Tower, a_ priest named Simon instructed a good look ing young man abont town.--named Lambert Simnel] to play the part, land- ed him in Ireland, and proceeded to call for troops. Strange *to say, in those days almost any pretender with courage stood a good chance of win ning renown or a hospitable grave in this way. But Lambert was not made of the material generally used in the construction of great men, and, though 4 perhaps, w Most cruel of all this sad history, was the excution of Stanley, the kibg's best frieud in the past, who Herbs his lite in battle and crown- ed him at Bosworth, In an unguarded moment he had said that were he sure Warbeck for some, time went about trying to organize cheap insurrections, with poor success until he reached Scot- land, where James IV indorsed him, and told him to have his luggage sent up to the castle, James also presented his sister Catherine as aspouse to the giddy young scion of the Flemish calico. tounter, James also assisted Perkin, his new brother in-law. in an invasion of England, which failed, after whieh the pretender gave himself up. He was hanged amid great applause at Tyburn, and the Earl of Warwick, with whom he had planned to escape, was beheaded at Tower Hill. Thus, in 1499, perished the last of the Plantage- nets.of the male kind, Henry hated war, not because of its cruelty and horrors, but because it was expensive. He was one of the most parsimonious of kings, and often averted war in order to prevent the wear and tear on the cannon. He managed to acquire £2,000,000 sterliug from the reluctant taxpayer, yet no monarch ever received such a universal e<onsent when he desired to pass away if any regret was felt anywhere, it was so deftly concgaled that his death, to all appearance, gave general and complete satisfaction. After a reign of 24 years he was suc ceeded by his second soa, Henry, in 1509, the elder son, Arthur, having died previously, It was during the reign of Henry Vilthat John and Sebastian Cabot were fitted out and discovered North America in 1497, which payed the way for the oes ata, depopulation of Africa, Ital réland. South America had been discovered the year before by Columbus. Henry VII was also the father of the English navy. the accession of Henry Vull was now hailed with great rejoicing. He was bnt 18 years of age, but handsome and smart, © He soon married Catherine of Aragon, the widow of his brother Arthur. She was six years his senior, and he had been betrothed to her under duress at a eleventh year, Henry VIII ordered his father's old lawyers, Empson and Dudley, tried and executed for being too diligent in busi- ness. He sent an army to recover the lost English possessions in France, but in this was not successful. He then de termined to organize a larger force, and so he sent to Calais 50,000 men, where they were joined by Maximilian. n the battle which soon followed with the French eayalry they lost their habitual sang froid and most of their hand bag gage in a wild and impetuous adr It 1s Still called the Battle of the Spurs, This was in 1518. In the report of the engagement sent to the king nothing was said of the German emperor, for the reason, 4s was said by the commander, "that he does not desire notice, and, in fact, Maximilian objects to name." This remark still furnishes food for thought on rainy days at Bal- moral and makes the laden hours go gayly by. During the year 1513 the Scots i yaded England underJames,but though their numbers were superior, they were sadly defeated at Flodden Field, and when the battle was over their king and the flower of their nobility lay dead upon the scene. Wolsey, who was made cardinal in 1515 by the pope, held a tremendous influence over the young king and 'in directly ruled the country. He ostensi- he secured quite an army and the aid of the Earl of incoln and many veteran troops, the first battle closed the eomedy, and the bogus soveregn, too contemptible even to occupy the} ~valuable time of the hangman, became} aseullion in the royal kitchen, while j Simon was imprisoned. For five years things were again dull, but at the end of that period an under- study for Richard, duke of York, arose and made pretensions, His name was Perkin Warbeck, and though the son of a Flemish merchant, he was a great fa- vorite at social functions and straw rides. Ile went to ireland, where any thing in the way of a riot was even then hailed witb delight, and soon thé York family and others who cursed the reigning dynasty flocked to his stand- ard. France indorsed him temporarily un- til Charles became reconciled to Henry, and then he dropped Perkin like a heat. | ed potato, Perk, however, had been well entertained in Paris as the coming English king, and while there was not je permitted to pay forathing. He nov visited the Duchess of Burgundy. sister of Edward LV, and made z a at.once. She gave bim the title of "Tae White Rose of England (1493), and he was pleased to find himself so popular when he might have been measuring molas- ses in the obscurity of his father's store. Henry now felt quite mortified that he could not produce the evidence of the murder of the twosons of Edward LV, so as to settle this gay young tender, but he did not succeed in _find- ing the remains, though they were afterward discovered under the stair- ease of the White tower and buried in Westminster abbey, where the floor : now paved with epitaphs, and whe .ecouomy and grief are better solhueiastts perhaps, than 'elsewhere in the world, the floor and tombstone being happilf anited, any as it were, killing two birds with one stone. But how sad itis today to contem- plate the situation occupied by Henry, foreed thus to rommage the kingdom for the dust of two murdered princes, 'that he might, by unearthing @ most wic crime, prevent the success of a 'you pretender, and yet fearing to do so lest he might call the attention of i vant throne, \ | Charles V of Spain had a prior lien to bly presently a humble demeanor, but jin his innermost soul he was the haugh i tiest human being that ever concealed | beneath the cloak of humility an inflex ible, tough and durable heart, On the death of Maximilian, Henry had some notion of pré-empting the va but soon discovered tha the same, and thus, in 1520, this new potentate became the greatest power in the civilized world. Itis hard to be lieve in \the nineteenth or twentieth century that Spain ever had any in- fluence with anybody of sound mind, but such the veracious historian tells us was once the case Francis, tle French king, was so grieved and mortified over the success of his Spanish rival that he turned to Henry for comfort, and at Calais the two disgruntled monarchs spent a fort- night jousting, tourneying, infalling, outfalling, merrymaking, oe ling and general acute gastritis It was a magnificent meeting, howey- er, Wolsey acting as costumer, and was called the "Field of the Cloth of Gold," Large, portly men with whiskers wore purple velvet opera cloaks trimmed} with fur and Gntaeboroueh hats with ostrich feathers worth £4 apieee (sterling).
