Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Works, Comprising His Poems, Correspondence, and Translations: With a Life of the Author by the Editor, Robert Southey William Cowper, the most popular poet of his generation, and the best of English letter-writers, was born on the 15th of November, (old style,) 1731, in the Rector, at Great Berkhamstead, Hertfordshire. The place of his birth is remarkable in English history. The Mercian kings had a palace there; and it again became a royal residence under the first of the Plantagenets, who granted to the men and merchants thereof liberty to trade through all his lands of England, and Normandy, and Aquitain, and Anjou, without paying either custom or exaction; and that they should be quit of all servile works, and be exempt from all tolls, and enjoy the same liberties, laws, and customs, as in the times of Edward the Confessor; and that no market should be held within seven miles of the town. From Henry I.´s time, the honor and castle of Berkhamstead went with the earldom of Cornwall. Twice they - we granted to unfortunate favorites; by Edward II. to Piers Gaveston, and by Richard II. to Robert de Vere. Cicely, Duchess of York, and mother of the last of the Piantagenets, resided here during the latter years of her unhappy life; and from the time of her death, the honor of Berkhamstead has descended to the successive princes of Wales with the dukedom of Cornwall.
