Part 23 (1/2)

ll. 22-30. Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) brought out his _De Jure Belli ac Pacis Libri Tres_ at Paris in 1625. Towards the end of the dedication to Louis XIII Grotius says: 'Pertaesos discordiarum animos excitat in hanc spem recens contracta inter te & sapientissimum pacisque illius sanctae amantissimum Magnae Britanniae Regem amicitia & auspicatissimo Sororis tuae matrimonio federata.'

Page 62, l. 23. Thomas Savile (1590-1658), created Viscount Savile, 1628, Privy Councillor, 1640, Controller and then Treasurer of the Household. 'He was', says Clarendon, 'a man of an ambitious and restless nature, of parts and wit enough, but in his disposition and inclination so false that he could never be believed or depended upon.

His particular malice to the earl of Strafford, which he had sucked in with his milk, (there having always been an immortal feud between the families, and the earl had shrewdly overborne his father), had engaged him with all persons who were willing, and like to be able, to do him mischieve' (_History_, Bk. VI, ed. Macray, vol. ii, p. 534).

Page 65, l. 21. Warwick was member for Radnor in the Long Parliament from 1640 to 1644. The Bill of Attainder pa.s.sed the Commons on April 21, 1641, by 204 votes to 59 (Clarendon, ed. Macray, vol. i, p. 306; Rushworth, _Historical Collections_, third part, vol. i, 1692, p.

225). The names of the minority were posted up at Westminster, under the heading 'These are Straffordians, Betrayers of their Country'

(Rushworth, _id._, pp. 248-9). There are 56 names, and 'Mr. Warwick'

is one of them.

Carnarvon's character has much in common with Northampton's. Though separated in the _History_, they are here placed together as companion portraits of two young Royalist leaders who fell early in the Civil War.

Page 70, l. 21. Dorchester and Weymouth surrendered to Carnarvon on August 2 and 5, 1643. They were granted fair conditions, but on the arrival of the army of Prince Maurice care was not taken 'to observe those articles which had been made upon the surrender of the towns; which the earl of Carnarvon (who was full of honour and justice upon all contracts) took so ill that he quitted the command he had with those forces, and returned to the King before Gloster' (Clarendon, vol. iii, p. 158).
