f [The Earl of Sandwich gave the following account of the manner of the Protestant marriage :— " May 21, 1662, in the afternoon the King and Queen came into tlie presence-chamber (at Portsmouth) upon the throne, and the contract formerly made with the Portuguese ambassador was read in English by Sir John Nicholas, in Portuguese by the Portu- guese secretary De Saire ; after which, the King took the Queen by the hand, and (as I think) said the words of matrimony appointed in the Common-Prayer, t...he Queen also declaring her consent. Then the bishop of London (Sheldon) stood forth, and made the declaration of matrimony in the Common-Prayer, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.^ — Krakefs Chronicle. See Harris's Life of Charles the Second, 9 vols, 8vo., 1757.— Ed.] QUEEN CATHERINE OF BRA6ANZA. 47 1669, was seriously agitated ; and would probably have been carried into effect upon slighter grounds, if Charles had resembled his bluff ancestor Harry the Eighth.
It does not appear that the King was disappointed in the person of his young Queen ;* in a letter to Lord Clarendon, dated from Portsmouth, he expresses his satisfaction in strong terms ;f and Clarendon says, " it is certain she had wit and beauty enough to have pleased the King, if bigotry and an ill education had not spoiled her/' Pepys, describing her in his Diary, says, •* For the Queen, though she be not a very charming, yet hath she a good, modest, and innocent look, which is most pleasing/* Catherine's defects seem to have been those of manner, rather than person ; her disposition was not sprightly, nor her deportment dignified.
