Excerpt from Sir John Fortescue's Commendation of the Laws of England: The Translation Into English of "De Laudibus Legum Angliae" During that impious and unnatural Civil War between the Houses of York and Lancaster, which not long since raged in England, and by means whereof their Sovereign King Henry VI. With his Consort Queen Margaret, who was daughter of the King of jerusalem and Sicily, and their only 5011 Edward Prince of Wales, were obliged to quit the kingdom: and at last, the King, being taken prisoner by his subjects, suffered a very long and terrible imprisonment. But the Queen, with her son, being thus banished, made her abode in the dutchy of Berry, which at that time belonged to her father, the King of Jerusalem.
