One of the queen's principal ministers of state too, at the head of a small troop of horsemen, came in and rode through the streets, proclaiming Essex a traitor, and calling upon all the citizens to aid in arresting him. One of Essex's followers fired a pistol at this officer to stop his proclamation, but the people generally seemed disposed to listen to him, and to comply with his demand.
He had been in her Essex's expedition to Cambridge, and had afterwards served in the Low Countries, under Prince Maurice of Nassau; for the long Continental wars had throughout King James' peaceful reign been treated by the English nobility as schools of arms, and a few campaigns were considered as a graceful finish to a gentleman's education.
The servant lifted a face stamped with terror, a couple of feet below Ralph's. "They they say " "What is it?" "They say that the King's archers are about my Lord Essex's house." Ralph drew a swift breath. "Well?" "And that my Lord was arrested at the Council to-day." Ralph turned, and in three steps was in his room again. The key clacked in the lock.
He says that he made some remonstrance; and he says, no doubt truly, that during the first stage of the business he used the ambiguous position in which he was placed to soften Essex's inevitable punishment, and to bring about a reconciliation between him and the Queen.
We can set aside at once all of my Lord Essex's enemies and and he has many now. Two names come to my mind. Master Ralph Sadler the comptroller; and my Lord of Canterbury." "Ah!" cried Chris, dropping his hand, "my Lord of Canterbury! My brother has had dealings with him." Sir James straightened himself in his chair. "I will ask no favour of that fellow," he said sternly.
Seems to me that if I were born and lived most of my life in the United States I would know something about it." "I do know something about it," declared Frank; "but how do you expect me to know all these details? This is the first time I've ever been in Newport News, and I've never been to Norfolk. How do we get there from here?" "Either in the Essex's launch, or by ferry."
In 1597 he accompanied Essex on the "Islands voyage," but, seeking more paying adventure, in the winter of 1598 he consented at Essex's suggestion to lead a little company of English adventurers to assist Cesare D'Este to regain his Duchy of Ferrara, then in the hands of the Pope. He set forth, but upon reaching Venice found that Cesare had submitted.
The marriage, however, was private; for Hamilton knew that Essex was aware of his having been during this event a married man, and that his wife, who was a distant relation of the Earl's, was still living. The marriage, however, came to Essex's ears, and Hamilton was called to account.
Robert Cecil and Robert Devereux for that was, in full, the Earl of Essex's family name being young and ardent, inherited the animosity of their parents, and were less cautious and wary in expressing it. They soon became open foes. Robert Devereux, or Essex, as he is commonly called in history, was handsome and accomplished, ardent, impulsive, and generous.
Bacon would have been a greater man with both of them if he had been able to do so. He had been too deeply in Essex's intimacy to make his new position of mediator, with a strong bias on the Queen's side, quite safe and easy for a man of honourable mind; but a cool-judging and prudent man may well have acted as he represents himself acting without forgetting what he owed to his friend.
