A reprint of Caxton's "Kynge Arthur," with an introduction and notes by Robert Southey, was issued in 1817 "The Byrth, Lyfe, and Actes of Kyng Arthur." The most complete edition is that by Thomas Wright, from the text of 1634.
All the time of her lyfe a true and faythful servant of her good God, never detected of any cryme or vice. In religion most sounde, in love to her husband most faythful and true.

In governing of her house, bringing up of youth in ye fear of God that did converse with her moste rare and singular.
