They went immediately to the abbey of Ceame, a small religious house close by, to refresh themselves after the fatigues of the voyage. It was there that Queen Margaret, with the Prince and Princess of Wales, kept their Easter-festival, at the very time their cause was receiving its death-blow on the fatal heath of Barnet,* where the weather, as will be well remembered, once more turned the fortunes of the day against the fated rose of Lancaster. when the dreadful news of the death of Warwick an...d the re-capture of King Henry was brought to Margaret on the following day, she fell to the ground in a deep swoon, and for a long time remained in a speechless stu- por of despair, as if her faculties had been overpowered by the greatness of this unexpected blow.* When she revived to consciousness, it was only to bewail the evil destiny of her luckless consort " In her agony, she re- viled the calamitous temper of the times in which she lived, and reproached herself," says Hall, " for all her painful labours now turned to her own misery, and de- clared she desired rather to die than live longer in this state of infelicity," as if she foresaw the dark adversities that were yet in store for her.
