Book Description
Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England Before the Norman Conquest Such are a few of the leading features of a period comparatively unknown, and which cannot fail, it is hoped, to prove a useful study to those who desire an introduction to the History of Eng land; for these personal records of the wives and daughters of our early monarchs, form naturally the connecting links between many public events which would otherwise remain detached and unintelligible. The history of British female Sovereigns before the period of the Conquest had necessarily to be drawn from chronicles which present many legendary records, and which grave writers have sometimes rejected, perhaps too unsparingly; for, as a learned translatorAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England, From the Norman Conquest, Vol. 12 of 16 James himself frankly acknowledged that he had never known what true happiness was till, rendered wise by many sorrows, he had learned fully to appreciate the virtues and self-devotion of his queen. He now regarded her not only with love, but veneration, and made it the principal busi ness of his life to atone to her, by the tenderest attentions, for the pangs his former follies had inflicted on her sensi tive heart. He knew that, possessed of her, he was an object of envy to his cousin, Louis XIV., and was accus tomed to say that, like Jacob, he counted his sufferings for nothing, having such a support and companion in them. 1 Blessed in this perfect union, the king and queen endeavored to resign themselves to the will of God, whose hand they both recognized in their present reverse of fortune.
