EARLS AND DUKES OF YORK.

A.D. 11911 The first who enjoyed the title of the Earl of
York, was Otho, Duke of Saxony, eldest son of Henry, surnamed
the Lion, Duke of Bavaria and Saxony, one of the g-reatest Princes
of his time, by the Princess Matilda, or Maud, eldest daughter of
Henry 11. King of England : he was afterwards Emperor of Ger-
many, but died without issue: be was likewise nephew of King
Richard I. and King John. It is observable that his youngest
brother William, born at Winchester, was the immediate ancestor
of his present Majesty in a direct line ; so early was the illustrious
House of Brunswick allied to the blood royal of England. '
1385. Edmund of Langley, surnamed Plantagenet, fifth son
of King Edward 111. was Earl of CambriAge and Duke of York.
1401. Edward Plantagenet, son of the former, Earl of Rutland
and Duke of York, was killed while valiantly fighting at the
glorious battle of Agincourt, in 1415, and left no issue.

1115. Richard Plantagenet, nephew of the last Duke, and son
of Richard, Earl of Cambridge, who was beheaded for a conspi-
racy against King Henry V., 1415, succeeded his uncle as Duke
of York. He began the fatal contest between the two potent
houses of York and Lancaster, and was killed at the battle of
Wakefield. His head was placed on one of the gates of York,
with a paper crown on it, by way of derision, by Queen Marga-
ret, consort of King Henry VI.
1471. Richard Plantagenet, born at .hrewsbury, record Son
of King Edward VI., was Duke of York. and murdered with his
unfortunate brother, Edward V.

1495. Henry, second son of King Henry VII., was Duke of
York; he was afterwards Henry VIII.
1604. Charles, second son of king James 1., was Duke of
York, afterwards the unfortunate Charles I.
1643. James, son of Charles L, was the next Duke, -after-
wards the weak and besottedJamesll.

I'7lB. Ernest Augustus, Duke of Brunswick, Lunenburg, and
Byiosrhkopa

1760, Edward Augustus, grandson of George 11. and brother
of George 111. was created Duke of York.

1784. Frederick, second son of George 111. and brother of
George IV., was created Duke of York and Albany and Earl of
Ulster, and Bishop of Osnabnrg.

It is singular that of the eleven Princes who bore this title, six
should have left no issue; four were beheaded, murdered, or
killed in battle, one of them by his own subjects ; and another,
after being seated on the Throne of these Realms, was deposed by
his subjects, and his son-in-law placed in his stead.

At a late meeting of that excellent benevolent In-
st;nition .the Commercial Travellers' Society, it appeared that out
of au income for the last year of 245/. 12s. U. no less than 136
claimants had received relief.
