Synopsis

ELIZABETH was about three years old at the death of her mother. She was a princess, but she was left in a very forlorn and desolate condition. She was not, however, entirely abandoned. Her claims to inherit the crown had been set aside, but then she was, as all admitted, the daughter of the king, and she must, of course, be the object of a certain degree of consideration and ceremony. It would be entirely inconsistent with the notions of royal dignity which then prevailed to have her treated like an ordinary child.  Next came Elizabeth, who was about fourteen years of age. She was the daughter of the kings second wife, Queen Anne Boleyn. She had been educated a Protestant. She was not pretty, but was a very lively and sprightly child, altogether different in her cast of character and in her manners from her sister Mary.  Then, lastly, there was Edward, the son of Jane Seymour, the third queen. He was about nine years of age at his fathers death. He was boy of good character, mild and gentle in his position, fond of study and reflection, and a general favorite with all who knew him.
