The Story of Prince Henry of Monmouth and Chief-Justice Gascoign
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 February 2009
Extract
The story of the imprisonment of Prince Henry of Monmouth by Chief-Justice Gascoign, for insulting him in court, is one with which Shakespeare has long made the whole civilised world familiar, and his dramatic representation of that supposed event had been accepted by Rapin, and after him by Hume and other professed historians, not merely as in the main true, but as an incident in an abandoned course of life during his youth before he became king, when Mr. Tyler undertook the task of vindicating the memory of the Prince from the load of calumny under which it had long laboured, and in his life of the Prince, published in 1830, asserted that ‘never did a young man receive from his contemporaries more unequivocal testimony of the practical exercise in his person of propriety, modesty, and perseverance than Henry of Monmouth did before he became king,’ but of his alleged contempt of court he says little. On the other hand, Miss Strickland, a.popular biographer, and Lord Campbell, a distinguished judge as well as biographer, both writing several years after the publication of Mr. Tyler's work, with the contents of which they describe themselves as acquainted, revive and insist upon as true the representation of the Prince as having in early life associated himself with buffoons and criminals, and the story of his misconduct in a court of justice and consequent imprisonment as the natural outcome of such a course of life. Moreover Miss Strickland professes to refer to previous writers as authorities for all her statements.

In the Black Book of the Exchequer it is said that he died in his thirty-seventh year, which is rejected by all historians. Tyler's date, which is intermediate between the two others, is adopted above as probably the most correct.

page 100 note 2 This prelate was tried for high treason in 4 Henry VI., and in the articles preferred against him it was alleged that he had stirred up the then king's father, Henry V., when Prince of Wales, to endeavour to obtain his father's consent to iresign the crown. The bishop emphatically denied the charge, and challenged his! accusers to prove it, but they produced no evidence in support of it, and he was acquitted. State Trials, i. 267.; Parl. Hist. i. 354, et seq.; Rot. Parl. 4 Hen. VI. The scene of the Prince's supposed removal of the crown from his father's pillow was probably drawn from the representation in the chronicles above quoted that he I desired the crown and kingdom. It is, comparatively speaking, a modern fiction.

page 106 note 4 The omission in the writ as inrolled to describe the Prince as ‘his most dear son, Henry Prince of Wales,’ may have been accidental in the Chancery. It cannot be considered proof of dissatisfaction felt by the King himself. Precisely the same omission had been made in the inrolment of a precisely similar writ in the previous June—Rot. Fr. 12 Hen. IV. m. 10. 8 Rym. Fæd. 691–3, ante, p. 21. A precisely similar omission is found in the inrolment of a similar writ directed by the Prince, a few months after he became king, to his uncle, Thomas Beaufort. After having made him admiral of England, an inrolment of a writ is found, dated July 28, ‘The King to his most dear uncle, Thomas Earl of Dorset, his admiral, or to his lieutenant.’ –Rot. cl. 1 Hen. V. ni. 19 d; never hitherto printed, quoted, or referred to. Less than a month afterwards another writ, dated August 26, is inrolled, ‘The King to his Admiral or to his Lieutenant,’ wholly omitting the King's description of him as ‘his most dear uncle, Thomas Earl of Dorset.’–Rot. cl. 1 Hen. V. m. 17 d; never hitherto printed, quoted, or referred to. The Earl of Dorset was still admiral, and not the slightest breach of harmony between him and his nephew, the King, had occurred.
