402 THE HERALDRY OF YORK MINSTER. in 1428, having been made by the Pope, Cardinal Legate. Gloucester immediately took violent umbrage at this, refused to receive him, and called upon him to resign the see of Winchester; but no action was taken thereon. In 1429 Henry was crowned, first at Westminster, afterwards at Paris, by Beaufort, during which time Gloucester moved his expulsion from the council, and, assisted by a cabal of his own, seized his plate. When the Cardinal returned, he pleaded his justification before Parliament, which was accepted, and his plate, &c., restored, and Gloucester became entangled in a quarrel with his brother. In 1435 Bedford returned to France, and Gloucester immediately renewed his attack on Beaufort, which was aggravated, perhaps, by his second wife, Eleanor Cobham, being arrested on the charge of treasonable sorcery, and condemned by the two archbishops and Beaufort, to perpetual imprisonment. Beaufort seems now to have devoted himself principally to the education of the young King, "who," says Bishop Stubbs, " learned from him the policy of peace, though not of "government." Gloucester continued his impracticable conduct, which eventually involved him in a quarrel with the Parliament. In 1447 they assembled at Bury St. Edmunds, on account of the plague in London ; and on Gloucester arriving he was ordered to his lodgings, placed under arrest, and died, probably of disappointment and mortification, in a few days. There are no evidences that he died by violence, none to implicate Beaufort in his death, indeed he had no motive for it; but in six weeks, on the nth of April, he himself passed away at the Wolvesley Palace, at Winchester. How far the circumstances of his decease justify of an Shakespeare's dramatic account may be judged by the testimony eye-witness : " As he lay a-dying, he had many men, monks and clergy " and laymen, gathered in the great chamber where he was, and there he " caused the funeral service and the requiem mass to be sung. During "the last few days of his life he was busy with his will. In the evening "before he died he had the will read over and corrected. The following " morning he confirmed it in an audible voice ; then took leave and died, "leaving, after large legacies, the residue to charity." He had been munificent to the poor while he lived. He practically rebuilt and enlarged the Hospital of St. Cross, at Winchester, which, founded by Henry de Blois, in the twelfth century, for " men decayed and past their strength," had, after much perversion, been revived by William of Wykeham. Cardinal Beaufort added a distinct establishment, called "Nova domus Eleemo- " synaria nobilis paupertatis," for the support of two priests, thirty-five brethren, and two nuns, building the infirmary so that one end opens into the triforium of the church, in order that the sick in their beds might participate in the service.
ROYAL HERALDRY. 40,3 How he was esteemed by the good King Henry VI., is evident from his words to the Cardinal's executors when they offered him the share of the residue, some 2,000, to which he was entitled: "My uncle "was very dear to me, and did much kindness to me while he lived: "the Lord reward him: but do ye with his goods as ye are bounden, I " will not take them." Bishop Stubbs thus confirms these noble words : "Henry spoke the truth. Beaufort had been the mainstay of his house. "For fifty years he had held the strings of English policy, and done "his best to maintain the honour and welfare of the nation. That "he was ambitious, secular, little troubled with scruples, apt to make "religious persecution a substitute for religious life and conversation; "that he was imperious, impatient of control, ostentatious, and greedy of " honour ; these are faults which weigh very light against a great politician, " if they be all that can be said against him. It must be remembered " in favour of Beaufort, that he guided the helm of state during the period "in which the English nation first tried the great experiment of self- " government with any approach to success ; that he was merciful to his " political enemies, enlightened in his foreign policy ; that he was devotedly " faithful, and ready to sacrifice his wealth and labour for his King ; and " that from the moment of his death everything began to go wrong, and " went worse and worse until all was lost." So as we gaze upon his shield we recognize in the gobonn^e bordure the token of an ignoble birth ; but in the mitre and ermine which adorn it, the tokens of a holy and honoured life. An escutcheon, then, not unworthy to decorate the House of God, to be associated with the achievements of princes, to be regarded by all generations of men, and to close this volume of heroic memories and gallant lives. For what more noble than, in spite of hindrances of birth or station, to consecrate existence to our God, our Sovereign, 'and our Country; and leave a record which, in due time, after generations may honour and reverence, and which shall be acknowledged and rewarded at the last great day.
