gusted with the corrupt and imbecile ad-
ministration of Richard H.
The vigorous government OF Henry and

most appear a vin1Ication of their wis
dom in this change or dynasty. But the
terrible wars OF the Roses. and the mis-
cradle end of Bolingbroke's unhappy
grandson, Henry VI, amply avenged the
wrongs of the Plantaganet family. How.
ever we may reverence the ability OF
Henry ". and excuse the usurpation Of
the crown. a dark cloud must ever rest
on his memory in connection with the
unfortunate Richard II, who was mys-
teriously murdered by Henry's orders In

The 9Oth OF September. 1899. marks the
beginning Of an epoch OF very great mo-
ment III English history. 1t is the date
OF the transferrence Of the English
crown from the House OF Plantaganet TO
that OF the House OF Lancaster. On the
previous day a deputation from the
Lords and Commons had waited on King
Richard II then a prisoner in the Tower,
and had obtained from him a formal re-
nunciation of the throne in favor OF his
cousin, Henry OF Bolinbroke, who a few
weeks before had landed from Emile at
Ravenspur. in Yorkshire. and in an as
tonishingly short time had made himself
master of the kingdom.
AT the time of Henry's landing Richard
was absent on an expedition to ireland,
and for some time remained in Ignorance
OF what was transporting at home. on
receiving intelligence of Henry's alarm
Ing progress he despatched at once the
Earl of Salisbury with an army but this
nobleman. after disembarking at Con-
way, soon found himself deserted by all
his forces, and Richard. on landing a
lew days after NdIu at AAlAplu IldhCAii
was soon placed in a similar predica-
ment
Deserted on all hands. the unfortunate
monarch was compelled 10 surrender
himself 10 the Earl OF Northumberland,
and meet. at the castle OF Flint HIS
cousin Henry. He was then conducted
as a prisoner 10 Chester. from which
be was afterward transferred to the
Tower; and then. on the 18th OF Sep
