was his Falstaff that set the erudites

John WAS born at EalStg.r;lslr, Nor

He was Il brave soldier. and gave and

of Oxford and Cambridge. establish
momts of which he WAS one of the
founders.
When he was 16 years of age he
went TO France i'm the capacity of
squire to the Duke of Clarence. He
distinguished himself on many occa-
SionS by his bravery in action, and
INaS soon charged with important
military functions. In 1415 he was
'icutrmant-GovcrnOr of the town of
llnntieur. After the battle of Agin-
court, where he fought with his usull
bravery. he captured the Duke of
Al"ncon. Later ON he captured by as

He made himself conspicuous in all
the battles around Orleans. especially
ii Rouvray- -Sainte- CroiX.
But at this point Joan of Arc ap-
rcared, and victory returned to the
French arms. The siege of Orleans
was raised; Talbot was made Il pris-

Such are the principal features in
the military life of Falstaff. NJ. Val

nero of AgincOurt and the companion
Of Talbot, the "old Jack" of Shakes

was the founder of universities. and

in Henry ~" and "The Merry

all the differences of character be-

Der of the critics have come to the
conclusion that we must look upon
the two characters as one. and that
the soldier was sadly misrepresented
by the poet. This is their explanation
of the affair
After the defeat of the English at
Orleans, Falstatf retreated toward
Corbeil. His conduct was severely
criticised. He was accused of failing
to support Talbot and of being guilty
of treason. These accuse tions never
amounted to anything moro than criti-
ciSm; but Sir John was ridiculed in
England for running away from wo-
man. and Shakespeare, echoing the
popular sentiment, put Falstaff upon
the stage. where he is destined to re-
main forever famous. But it is pleas
