What can be added to such tributes as those which we have just read but that, in Sir Bevill Grenville's case at least, 'the good was _not_ interred with his bones;'[33] his valiant spirit continued to animate his friends and followers, and prompted their valour on Roundway Down, at the siege of Bristol, and--when one of the last gleams of success shone upon the Royal cause--when Essex's infantry surrendered to the King in person, at Fowey. On the latter occasion Sir Richard, brother of Sir Bevill, held and fortified Hall House, on the eastern side of the harbour, for the King: he had previously captured Restormel Castle near Lostwithiel. Then there soon came a time when, as Macaulay says, England had to witness spectacles such as these: 'Major-Generals fleecing their districts--soldiers revelling on the spoils of a ruined peasantry--upstarts, enriched by the public plunder, taking possession of the hospitable firesides and hereditary trees of the old gentry--boys smashing the beautiful windows of cathedrals--Fifth-Monarchy men shouting for King Jesus--Quakers riding naked through the market-place--and agitators lecturing from tubs on the fate of Agag.' 'Where,' asked Dr. Llewellyn, the Principal of St. Mary Hall, Oxford, in the stilted style of the day in which he wrote: 'Where shall next famous Grenvil's ashes stand? Thy grandsire fills the sea--and thou the land.' The answer to which question must be that the next famous Grenville--Sir Bevill's eldest son, Sir John--was destined to become a conspicuous figure in the field of Diplomacy. He even attained to a higher rank than his father, soon after the Stuart cause became once more triumphant. Leaving Gloucester Hall, Oxford,--where he was a Gentleman Commoner,--when only fifteen years of age, he commanded his father's regiment in the west; and at the second battle of Newbury (to which he brought his Cornish troops) he was wounded, and left for dead on the field. He had received a dangerous wound in the head from a halberd, and was carried to the King and Prince of Wales, who ordered him to be taken care of in Donnington Castle hard by. The Castle was soon after besieged, and the bullets constantly whistled through his sick-room; but the boy-warrior at last came safely off. When the Scilly Isles revolted from the Parliament and became the last rallying-point of the Royalists, he it was who (like one of his ancestors) was made Governor, for the King--taking up his quarters at Elizabeth Castle on St. Mary's Island. But the Parliamentary Admirals, Blake and Ayscough, appeared before Scilly with so overwhelming a force, that Sir John Grenville thought it best to capitulate; extorting, however, such favourable terms that, until Blake represented to what an extent his own honour was involved in their confirmation, the Parliament refused to recognise them. It is said that Sir John had with him commissioned officers enough to 'head an army.'
