They renewed the war of Wartburg, Which the bard had fought before. Longfellow, _Walter von der Vogelweid_. =Warbeck= (_Perkin_) assumed himself to be Richard, duke of York, the younger son of Edward IV., supposed to be murdered by order of Richard III., in the Tower. _Parallel Instances._ The youngest son of Ivan IV. of Russia was named Dīmitri, _i.e._, Demetrius. He was born in 1581, and was mysteriously assassinated in 1591, some say by Godounov, the successor to the throne. Several impostors assumed to be Dimitri, the most remarkable appeared in Poland in 1603, was recognized as Czar in 1605, but perished the year following. Martin Guerre, in the sixteenth century, left his wife, to whom he had been married ten years, to join the army in Spain. In the eighth year of his absence one Arnaud du Tilh assumed to be Martin Guerre, and was received by the wife as her husband. For three years he lived with her, recognized by all her friends and relations, but the return of Martin himself dispelled the illusion, and Arnaud was put to death. The great Tichborne case was a similar imposition. One Orton assumed to be Sir Roger Tichborne, and was even acknowledged to be so by Sir Roger’s mother; but after a long and patient trial it was proved that the claimant of the Tichborne estates was no other than one Orton, of Wapping. In German history, Jakob Rehback, a miller’s man, assumed, in 1345, to be Waldemar, an Ascanier margraf. Jakob was a menial in the service of the margraf. =Warburton= (_Lord_), handsome, well-bred and commonplace young nobleman, in love with Isabel Archer.--Henry James, Jr., _Portrait of a Lady_ (1881). =Ward= (_Artĕmus_), Charles F. Browne, of America, author of _His Book of Goaks_ (1865). He died in London in 1867. _Ward_ (_Dr._), a footman, famous for his “friars’ balsam.” He was called to prescribe for George II., and died, 1761. Dr. Ward had a claret stain on his left cheek, and in Hogarth’s famous picture, “The Undertakers’ Arms,” the cheek is marked gules. He forms one of the three figures at the top, and occupies the right hand side of the spectator. The other two figures are Mrs. Mapp and Dr. Taylor. =Warden= (_Henry_), _alias_ HENRY WELLWOOD, the Protestant preacher. In the _Abbot_ he is chaplain of the Lady Mary at Avenel Castle.--Sir W. Scott, _The Monastery_ (time, Elizabeth). _Warden_ (_Michael_), a young man of about 30, well-made and good-looking, light-hearted, capricious, and without ballast. He had been so wild and extravagant, that Snitchey and Craggs told him it would take six years to nurse his property into a healthy state. Michael Warden told them he was in love with Marion Jeddler, and her, in due time, he married.--C. Dickens, _The Battle of Life_ (1846). =Wardlaw=, land-steward at Osbaldistone Hall.--Sir W. Scott, _Rob Roy_ (time, George I.).
