wondered how they would protect her
, from their united woOings Some of
them wereItoo powerful to afendA some
possessed enormous wealth, and all
were persistent The queens domin-
ions had been impoverished by the
wars of her father. the late king, who
had 'fallen in Il battle which ended In
route for his forces. The excheauer
wastnOt only depleted. but the kingdom
hadtbeen left without a military force
