DUCHESS OP YORIC.—Few persons ever lived to see such great revolutions in their families, as Rieliard's mo ther, Cicely, Duchess of York. She was, by birth, a Lancas trian ;.I.ter mother being the illegitimate daughter of John of Gaunt, by his last Duchess; and by marriage, a Yorkist, her husband being Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York. • Though the wife of the representative of the second son.of King Edward 111., whose just rights had been usurped by King Henry IV., son of the Duk e 'of Lancaster, the third son of that monarch, there.yet apppared but little plausibility of her husband's ever obtaining the-crown, it having been possessed by three Sovereigns of, the reigning branch of Lancaster; and the father of Richard, her husharsd, had been attainted and executed for treason. Notwithstanding these — MS - emir:Ting eiretunstances, she saw her Lord, through her family interest, declared heir-apparent of the crown, and the succession settled in his line ; and after obtaining the greatest power that could be enjoyed by is subject, that of Governor of the Kingdom, and just ascending the steps of the throne, shesaw him, by his own rashness, killed in battle, and his head separated from his body, in derision crowned with a paper diadem. Of her sons, five dead children, •Edward, the oldest surviving one, became King. The second, Edmond, the youth of twelve years of age, was cruelly put to death altar the battle of Wake field. George, the third son, who had NO sometimes true, at. others disloyal to his eldest brother and sovereign, waaconvieted, and put to death by the procurement of one, and at the order of anwher of • his brothers. Richard, the youngest son,. alter usurping the throne, and disgracing himself by . many murderous deeds, fell in the field of battle, fighting against a Prince who was descended from an illegitimate branch of the Lancaster line. The Payton Letters say she came to Coventry, December 8, 1159, when her lnisbot:d had just been attainted, with their eldest son, and many others, by the Parliament. In January 148940, she was "still again received in Kent," whilst the Duke of York, her husband, w as a t D u bli n , " strengthened with his earls and homagers." Christopher Musson writes to John Payton, Esq. a letter dated from London, Oet. 12th, WO, that— 44 The Monday after our Lady Day, there came hither to my master's place, the harbinger of my fiord of March, de siring that , my Lady of York, and hcr two sons, my Lord George, and my Lord Richard, and my Lady Margaret her' daughter (which I have granted them in your name), might lie here until Michaelmas; and she had lain here two days, but she had tidings of the landing of my fiord at Chester and • the Tuesday next after, my Lord sent kr her that she should come to him at Harford (Hereford) and thither she went, leav ing the children,' whom the Lord of 3larch, her eldest son, every day paid visits to." The Duke, her husband, fell at WakeHekton the bit' day of 11:cember in the same year. This letter ; justifies' Lord Orferd's enzomium of the Duchess Of York; :in his " Historic Doubts," that she was " a Puin cess of ApOtles3 character," as it fiirnishes proofs of her love to her children, obedience: to her husband, and the regard of the public towards her; : In her widowed state she was equally re spectedv:usitwithstatiding lier'llaskind was attainted, and her self depriveit.Of rank end toriuqi.: z. Many and great were the changes this Princess saw ; she lived in the reig ns o f live' Strvereigns . She saw ths. crown of France wrested the infant broW f Kin g H enr y VI„ an d she saw him deprived of that of En and, restored, again de throned, and his innocent blood cruelly ,spilt. 'he saw her son King Edward IV. crowned, dethroned, restored, and cut off by his intemperance at an early age. She saw her grandson, King Edward V., upon the, throne, but dePrived of his sceptre, im prisoned and murdered.. Site 4w her youngest son, King Richard 111., usurp the regal homars'aild lose them soon after, with his life, when not' More then', thirty-tiro, or at the most thirty-five years of age; and, fine tly,.shesaw the enemy of her 14mily, who had vanquished him 'proclaimed by the name of Hen .y VII. In her life time there were these Queens :--Joan, relict of Kim! Henry IV.; Catherine, th e D ow a ge r of Henry V.; Mar garet,' Elizabeth, Anne, and Elizabeth, the consorts of King Henry VI., King Edward IV., Ki ng Richard 111., and King Henry VII. It is difficult to say Which of these illustrious fe. males was most unfortunate. Cicely was deprived of the title of Queen only by the premature death of her husband, owing to his own intemperate anger. She saw these Princes of Wales ;--Edward, the amiable son of the unhappy King Henry VI:: Richard, Duke of York, her .husband. for so he was created. Euwani, her grandson, the son of King Edward IV., and who afterwards was styled King Edward V., Edward, sine of King Richard DI. also her grand son ; and Arthur, her ;volt-gr an d son . t h e so n of King Hen r y VII None of these Whites of Wales were fortunate, for they all came to violent deaths except the two last, and they died at a very early age. • _ Tie Duchess appears to have had her general residence at Baynard Castle, in London, arid Berkharnpstead, in lierts but these though her usual, were not her only residences, for in Aug. 1476, in the reign of King Edward IV., she was at the mitred Abbey of St. Benet Holm in Norfolk ; this we learn from a letter of Sir John Paston to his son ; in it he says, " my Lady of York, and all her himsehold wore there, and where she proposed to reside until the King, her son, came from beyond sea, and longer if she liked the air there, as it was said." Ed ward IV. was then in h"ranee. In the reign of Richard 111. she resided in London, but she died at her Castle of Berkhampstead, and. was butied at her own de<dre at Fotheringuy, in Northamptonshire, by the side of the Duke of York, her husband; of whose splendid funeral SandfOid gives a particular relation ; it was all but regal.— The chancel of the choir being destroyed, Queen Elizabeth, her great-great-grand daughter ordered the bodies of this illus trious couple to be placed in a vault prepand for that purpose in the church. GEOIIGE, DIME Or I.. , LATI.EXCIL—The Duchess of York was cxtremily unfortunate •in the quarrels of her sons.— Clarence was peculiarly .turbulent., , tickle, ambitious, ava t i, emits, and rash. His quarrel with his brother Richard about his marriage,' desirous of retaining the whole of the great pos sessions of the Earl of Warwick, called the King-maker," Whose eldest daughter he had married, was perhaps the first cause of their extreme dislike to each other; and King Edward IV. never forgave him his disloyalty. If our Common historians are to be credited, Clarence openly accused his mother of adultery, to stigmatise the King with bastardy, that he might claim the diadem at the expence of her honour; and this was one of the acc..sations against him at his trial. _ _ . They also allege that Richard, improving upon the hint, per suaded the infamous Dr. Shaw, at St. Paul's, and the Duke of Buckingham, in Guildhall; that she had taken to her bed cer tain persons perfectly resembling Edward IV. and Clarence, who were their fathers ' and that Richard only had the featur e s of the Duke of Work, her hoshand, anti consequently was the only son she bad by the Duke. these relations had been These, however, appear to be merely " Lancastrian Tales." If Clarence was weak, the other brothers were not. AB men would haVe looked upon Richard as such a monster, that he though little regardful of the ties ma n d l e m b r y Ai h n i , s would never have gained his aim, if , of blc;cd, or stisevtible of the moral duties, appears to have be- VI., with every particular of the In 14f;I he sent, hayed with rn-inlirlecr.3l7ll-liisilitallwarersap'ect to his mother. i u n n g ilt; l r et h e i: t :i i i i m x in i zu t a i l e , tir a y letter, acquainting her of his h a y « bloody battle of Towton. Fabian says, that in Febr uar y, 1.170, when the Nobility strove to make up . the breach be tween him and Clarence, these Royal brothers met for, that purpose at 'llaytard Castle, where t h e D uchess their mother then lay. • In his marriage with Elinsbeth Woodville he is said to have slighted g her ood advice, not to m arr y a subject, though he had thought i t hi s d u ty to consult her upon it. But love i n this instanc e provt4 1 more powerfill passion than du t y, or even his own security. 'The [:rags howevtr, does not appear in the least to have derogated hi lii'. wontedrespect to hismothsr after.; ward, though the influence of the Queen was superior to that of the widow of his father. ' The Queen was more beautiftil than wise, more accomplish. ed than politic, for she studied more to tat t h e c ourt of her hughand with her own relations,.than to gain the. friendship of the King's' This impolitic contact .a - rmitual di s t rus t to the Royal Family and t h e N o bility. Misisheth was as intriguing as her preticcesur Queen Margaret, and it was equally ruinous to the interest of hex offsprint Henry, VII., who, though, for security he married her ditng ter, hated her and the Yorkists, RICHARD the numemus accounts of this Monarch it is almost impossible to add any thing new. Buck, in his reign of him°, and Lord Orford, in' his Historic Doubts, have, !termer, said enough, notwithstanding the vices ascribed to him by Shakapeere, and those whom he copied; 'to tnake , Us hesitate befOre we prunounce definitivelpon his character. Ac cording to the latter author., it apitears that King Richard's first Council Was held in his mother's house, and that he wrote her a most affectionate letter froin Pontefract, June 3, after be was King. Thu langu age is humble and res pectful. However, it must be supposed thet she was greatly shocked at his conduct, when he had thrown .off the mask ; when he had bastardized all King Edward's children, when he Kati imprisoned, if not dest ro y e d, t h e sons o f that Monarch, and she • saw the daughters of Edward, Instead of sharing the thrones ~of the greatest petentates in Europe, doOmed to be only the wives of some of their.,father's subjeern-' when she saw him change the sticiesisign fretpieritly, .atia at length saw it tekerrby him frnin the PlantagentAs. But the tales about Richard's defaming her character, as well as the pretended aspersions of it by Clarence, Shaw, and Buckingham, as we have hinted, appear to be totally unfounded. All Richard's projects failed, and by his death, at the battle of Bosworth, the crown went to an illegitimate stem of the Lancastrian line. The Duchess, .his mother, how4ver, must have derived some satisfaction in seeing it settled in her issue, by the marriage of King Henry VIT. with her eldest grand. daughter, Elizabeth ; thus ." Twining the roses, red and white, together." She lived to ye several children of this union. • • See Bishop Kennet's Complete History of England. • • LISBON PAPERS.
