MEssRs EDITORS Il think have
seen no reference in the REGISTER to the
recent strife in England concerning the
change Of the royal title To read in his.
tory, the various changes in the title Of
the crown does not afford q very clear
idea of the great ado that is made about
it, The late discussions have unfolded
several things in the way of difficulty,
and perhaps Of importance also, that have
not been familiar to us on this side of the
Atlantic. The early kings of Britain, so
far as know. were distinguished by no
especial title. Henry " was called
"His Grace" or my Liege," 1899.
Henry VI, Excellent Grace" 1922.
Edward " was delighted when the fat.
tering title Of "AIost High and Mighty
Prince was heard SO fiatteringly to fall
upon his ear Henry VII, for what
cause do not remember. was called
Royal Highness Henry VIII bore
the same title, and sometime His
Grace, until the pope conferred upon
him the honorary title Of defender of
the Faith for service he had done the
church This excited his pride. and he
afterwards assumed the title Most
Dread Sovereign" By this title Fran.
els | of France addressed him in that
memorable interview on the Field of the
Cloth of Gold at Calais. 10 France The
nobility of both Kingdoms on that occa.
sion displayed their magni6cence to such
an extent that many Of them involved
themselves in debt. Since that time,
June 7, 1920. there has been little tink.
ering of the crown title until the present
reign. Since the Prince of Wales re.
turned from the east, some Of the Tory
party have succeeded in raising his on.
nuity from 100000 to 100000, and
have added to the crown title "lndie
lmperatrix' The title will therefore
now stand, Victoria, by the Grace Of
God, Queen of Great Britain and Ire.
