The magnificence of his palaces and gardens caused additional offence. But when, as the keystone, it would almost seem, of his ambition, a secret marriage between his daughter Anne and the heir-apparent, the Duke of York, was divulged, the popular displeasure reached its highest pitch, and the nation murmured at an alliance between a family risen, as everyone remembered, from the rank of country gentry, and the royal house. By this marriage Clarendon became the grandfather of two queens of Engl...and, Mary 1 1 and Anne. His unpopularity was completed by his share in a measure which excited an intense feeling of national humilia- tion. He advised Charles to sell Dunkirk to Louis XIV (1662). Popular opinion jumped to the not unjustifiable conclusion that he had received a share in the proceeds of this disgraceful compact ; his splendid palace in London received the bitter nickname of "Dunkirk House"; and, as Charles, even if he had been personally attached to Clarendon, was not the man to sacrifice an atom of popularity for the purpose of screening a minister, the unfortunate statesman, in 1667, was impeached for high treason and had to go once more into exile.
