Lack-land, a name given him by his father,—Johans Sanz Terre,John Lackland, because Henry had portioned out his broaddomains to his four sons before John, his fifth son, was born.The worst king we have met. His Seal does not differ mate-rially from his brother Richards, only he becomes ruler ofthe land and not of the people; Johannes Dei Gracia RexAnglie et Dominus Hibernie (John by the grace of GodKing of England and Lord of Ireland). Reverse, transla-tion, John Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count ofAnjou. This Seal is particularly interesting because it wasattached to the Magna Charta, upon which the liberties ofour race are founded, June 15th, 1215. HENRY III. Son of John. Born 1207. King 1216.Died 1272. This Seal is from a charter dated 1219, Henrybeing then only 12 years old. It is but a fragment thoughfar better artistically than any other we have met. It gives, 19 Plate II.
Text Appearing After Image:
Edward I. p. 21. Richard I. p. 17. Knights Templars, p. 51.Henry III. p. 19. Henry VIII. p. 25. no doubt, a very fair idea of the appearance of the author ofso much trouble to his country (see Plate II). EDWARD I. Called Longshanks on account of hissize; Hammer of the Scots, on account of the way hesmashed that unfortunate people. Eldest son of the preced-ing. Born 1239. King 1272. Died 1307. He gave hisbaby son, born in Caernarvon, a Welsh castle, to the Welsh astheir prince. Since then the eldest son of the King has al-ways been created Prince of Wrales. Edward was a goodsoldier and by his recognition of the capabilities of the long-bow founded the Archers of England, sturdy yeomen whomade English armies invincible for three hundred years. Hismotto was Pactum Serva, (keep thy promise). Seal doesnot differ much from that of Henry III. Note the crownedhelmet. This same Seal was used by his son Edward II., whowas so fearfully beaten at Bannockburn (1314, by RobertBruce, King of Scotlan
