The young Themistocles had many of the qualities which the equivocal condition of illegitimacy often educes from active and stirring minds insolence, ostentation, the desire to shine, and the invincible ambition to rise. He appears, by a popular tale, to have early associated with his superiors, and to have evinced betimes the art and address which afterward distinguished him.
The Duke's scheme then was to supplant the Tudor princesses, on the score of their illegitimacy once officially affirmed, by Lady Jane Grey; having first secured a dominating influence over his unhappy puppet by marrying her to one of his sons, Guildford Dudley.
"A lesser degree of illegitimacy," added Marindin, "is to be born into a family already containing the full number it is licensed for.
