To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, by aa act no less gracious than politic, Henry V. restored them to this earl's grandson, then a prisoner with the Scots^ whose liberation he had no difficulty ih procuring from the duke of Albany during the time of James L's captivity. From that day the loyalty of the family to the house of Lancaster was steadfast and undeviating. The second earl died fighting for Henry YL at the first battle of St Albans &i 1455 ; the third was slain in the bloody field of Towton (1461); the fourth was kil...led in quelling an insurrection in the time of Henry YIL So strong was the Lancastrian feeling of the family that even Sir Balph Percy, a brother of the earl who fell at Towton, though he had actually submitted once to Edward 17., turned again, and when he fell at Hedgley Moor consoled Idmself with the thought that he had, as he phrased it, ** saved the bird in his bosom." No wonder, then, that in Edward IV.'s days ihe title and estates of the family were for a time taken away and given to Lord Montagu, brother of Warwick the kingmaker.
