On the 29th January, 1697, M. de Broquemar, president of the Parliament of Paris, died suddenly in that city; next day his brother, an officer, died suddenly at Bergue, where he was governor. The lives of these brothers present remarkable coincidences. One day the officer, being engaged in battle, was wounded in his leg by a sword-blow. On the same day, at the same moment, the president was afflicted with acute pain, which attacked him suddenly in the same leg as that of his brother which had been injured. John Aubrey mentions the case of a friend of his who was born on the 15th November; his eldest son was born on the 15th November; and his second son's first son on the same day of the same month.

There is said to be a tradition of Norman-monkish origin, that the number 3 is stamped on the Royal line of England, so that there shall not be more than three princes in succession without a revolution. William I., William II., Henry I.; then followed the revolution of Stephen. Henry II., Richard I., John; invasion of Louis, Dauphin of France, who claimed the throne. Henry III., Edward I., Edward II., who was dethroned and put to death. Edward III., Richard II., who was dethroned. Henry IV., Henry V., Henry VI.; the crown passed to the house of York. Edward IV., Edward V., Richard III.; the crown claimed and won by Henry Tudor. Henry VII., Henry VIII., Edward VI.; usurpation of Lady Jane Grey.

William of Orange and Mary II., Anne; arrival of the house of Brunswick. George I., George II., George III., George IV., William IV., Victoria. The law has proved faulty in the last case; but certainly there was a crisis in the reign of George IV.
