It is difficult to remember at the end of this long story that the original theme was the Armada. In the next example Wellington seems to be confused with Bacon, as well as with Nelson: Duke of Wellington was a great English general. He was the commander of the English fleet during the Peninsular war, and won the following battles Assaye &c., and greatest of all the Battle of Waterloo. He was however charged with bribery after serving in Parliament a few years he retired to his country residence where he died. No one suffered so much from this blending method as the strange trio, Sir Thomas More, Sir John Moore, and Thomas Moore, the poet. Here all three appear: Q. Who was Sir Thomas More? A. Sir Thomas Moore was noted as a poet, a statesman and a soldier. He was killed at the battle of Corunna. Here two of the party are curiously mixed up with Henry de Bohun: Sir Thomas More was a general in the English army. he was killed in the battle of Bannockburn and buried in the dead of night. This needs no comment: The battle of Trafalgar commenced in the year 1705, when two celebrated persons met with their death namely Sir John Moore and John Jervis. Sir John Moore was a poet and the author of many celebrated pieces of poetry. John Hampden, the Hampton Court Conference, the Five Members, and the Seven Bishops are a strangely assorted group: (1) Hampton Court Conference. This conference took place in Charles II’s reign: he wanted to compel the bishops and clergy to believe in several articles he had drawn up. If they did not agree before the feast which took place in a few days they were to be expelled from their livings. The night before the feast seven bishops headed by John Hampton presented themselves before Charles with a millenary roll with several thousand names on begging them to be excused from his unjust demands. (Note: I think “the feast” was not a banquet, but the Feast of St. Bartholomew: so that Charles II., James I. and James II. are implicated.) (2) Hampton Court Conference was passed in the year 1783. It was in the reign of Charles. This was drawn up by 6 bishops and brought to the King to be signed. When the King saw this he flew into a terrible rage and would not sign it. This was awked about the streets, and all the people were anxious to buy one. (3) Blake is known in history as being one of the seven Bishops who lived in the reign of James II. These seven Bishops among whom was Blake had offended their king. When brought to trial he Blake was not present, they had altogether hidden themselves, but however they did appear. The day was in their favour and they were happily dismissed. (Note: Some confusion between the Seven Bishops, and the Five Members; Bishop Lake of Chichester, and Admiral Blake.)
