Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Romance of the Peerage, Vol. 2: Or Curiosities of Family History The family history gone over in the present volume, which is still confined mainly to the age of Elizabeth and James, is most of it closely connected with the public history of that time. The four concluding narratives more especially, which involve the origin of the several claims to the crown or to the succession, illustrate what was, throughout the reign of Elizabeth, the most occupying topic of domestic politics. It could not be otherwise in a constitution based upon the principle of hereditary monarchy; the question, if perplexed by the same extraordinary circumstances, would be equally exciting in our own day. But the complication produced by the contradictory or uncertain state of the law on the one hand, and the multifarious marriages of Henry the Eighth´s two sisters and their descendants on the other, to say nothing of his own unparalleled matrimonial career, makes such a case as probably never has been, nor ever will be, equalled.
