lettors of Marque,

Letters of marque and reprisal. as
they were called. were first issued in
the time of Edward |. to give leave to
retaliate beyond the marches or limits
of country for wrongs suffered at
the hands of power nominally at
peace. In this first instance they were
aimed at Portugal. About 100 years
later two Hanse towns in Mecklenburg,
wishing to relieve their prince. who
was beleaguered in Stockholm. issued
letters of marque-thieves' letters. as
the sufferers called them-to all the
rascals of the Baltic authorizing them
to victual the besieged city. This done
they turned themselves into confed
eracy of sea robbers known as Victual-
ing brothers, or st. vitalius' brothers,
and rendered the Scandinavian seas
unsafe for half century.

but when the king learned of it he

The lad had little liking for military
pursuits. His father suspected his son
of heresy without having any clear
idea of what his own theology really
was. Once in rage the king almost
strangled his son with a window cord,
and at length matters were brought to
a crisis by the prince running away.
It was only through diplomatic inter,
