thousand men were taken prisoners at the surrender; there were also taken "a thousand armes, four thousand pound in money, with other good booty." Another writer, Daniel Border, says that of the prisoners about eight hundred were common soldiers, and about a hundred and fifty commanders. "It was my chance to be at Arundell at the very instant when the castle was yielded, and saw the prisoners march out, but I never saw so many weake and feeble creatures together in my life, for almost all the common soldiers were half starved, and many of them hardly able to set one foot before the other; yet had they beefe very plentifull, but they certified us, they had no bread since Christmas day."

Lord Clarendon, in his History of the Rebellion, says that "the castle of Arundell was unprovided with provisions, for, instead of increasing the magazine of victuals which Lord Hopton had procured, they had spent much of it. The governor, Colonel Ford, was a man of honesty and courage, but unacquainted with the affair, having no other experience in war than what he had learned since these troubles; the officers were many without command, among whom one Colonel Bamford, an Irishman, though he called himself Bampfyld, who being a man of wit and parts, applied all his faculties to improve the faction, to which they were all naturally inclined, with a hope to make himself governor. In this distraction Waller found them, and by some of the souldiers running out to him, he found means to send in to them, by which he so increased their faction and animosity against one another, that after he had kept them waking with continual alarms three or four days, near half the men being sick and unable to do duty, rather than they would trust to each other longer, they gave themselves and the place up, as prisoners of war upon quarter; the place being able to have defended itself against that power for a much longer time.

"Lord Hopton hoped to have come time enough to have relieved Arundel Castle, which he never suspected would have so tamely given themselves up, but that hope quickly vanished upon the undoubted intelligence of that surren

der."

Upon this statement Mr. Dallaway remarks:-"That these accounts of the duration of the siege should differ so widely, as from three or four to seventeen days, implicates the veracity of the noble historian, who in his zeal to vindicate Lord Hopton from the charge of neglect, has too readily

admitted an erroneous statement."

The character of the Earl of Arundel, whom political causes had driven from the country at this period, is favourably given by Sir Edward Walker. "Lord Arundel was of a stately presence and gait, so that any man that saw him, though in never so ordinary a habit, could not but conclude him to be a great person; his garb and fashion drawing more observation than did the rich apparel of others, so that it was a common saying of Hay, earl of Carlisle, 'Here comes the earl of Arundel, in his plain stuff and trunk hose, and his beard in his teeth, that looks more like a nobleman than any of us.' He was not popular at all, nor cared for it, as loving better, by a juster hand than flattery, to let the common people know their distance and due observance. Neither was he of any faction in court or council, especially not of the French nor puritan. He was free from covetousness, and so much above a bribe or gratuity for favours done, as no person durst ever tempt him with one. If he were defective in anything, it was that he could not bring his mind to his fortune, which though great, was far too little for the vastness of his noble designs; but it is pardonable, they being only for the glory and ornament of his country. He would have appeared far more eminent had the times he lived in been more consonant to his disposition."

He married Alathea, youngest daughter, but at length sole heir of Gilbert Talbot, earl of Shrewsbury. Queen Elizabeth was her godmother, and gave her a name previously unknown in the baptismal vocabulary of England. The name signifies verity or truth, and was given "out of her Majestie's true consideration and judgment of that worthy family, which was ever true to the state." It is said that offence was taken at this heathenish name. The Countess of Arundel was performer with the queen in Ben Jonson's Masque of Beauty, on Twelfth Night, 1607, and in several masques on other occasions. It is related that this Countess in 1617, during the king's and the earl's absence in Scotland, made a grand feast at Highgate to the lord keeper (Bacon), the two lords justices, the master of the rolls, and others. "The feast was after the Italian manner, with four courses and four tablecloths, one under the other. When the first

course and tablecloth were taken away, the master of the rolls, thinking all had been done, said grace, as his manner is when no divines are present, and was afterwards well laughed at for his labour." The greater part of the income so nobly employed by the earl, was derived from this lady, as he gratefully acknowledged in his last will. This nobleman was succeeded by his second but eldest surviving son, Henry Frederick Howard, who had actively and faithfully adhered to the royal standard, until, on his return from Padua, whither he had repaired to attend his dying father, he found the parliamentary forces triumphant, and his own estate confiscated. He then retired into private life, and appears to have remained unmolested to the end of his days.

The fourth Earl of Arundel of this name was Thomas Howard, son of the above, to whom the paternal honours were restored, he being made Duke of Norfolk in 1664. This duke was imbecile in mind, and died unmarried in 1667, when he was succeeded by his brother Henry Howard, Earl of Arundel and Duke of Norfolk. This nobleman was made a baron under the title of Lord Howard, and also Earl of Norwich, and Hereditary Earl Marshal of England. He was a considerable benefactor to the Royal Society, and permitted the members to hold their meetings at Arundel House, after the fire of London in 1666. Between this society and the College of Arms he divided the library collected by his grandfather. At the suggestion of John Evelyn, he presented the inscribed Arundel marbles to the University of Oxford. He died in 1683-4, and was succeeded by Henry Howard, his son, whose most prominent public proceeding was his repairing to Flanders and joining in the invitation to the Prince of Orange. He was also one of the Protestant peers in London, who, with the Arch bishops of Canterbury and York, drew up a petition to James the Second to summon a parliament "regular and free" in all respects. But the king appearing at the head of the army, the duke openly declared for the Prince of Orange, and raised a regiment in the county of Norfolk and the neighbouring districts. The measures of the revolution met with his cordial support, and he continued in favour during the reign of William the Third. This earl died childless, as did also the next, Thomas, seventh earl of this house. The eighth earl, Edward Howard, showed a magnificent taste in architecture, which was displayed at Norfolk House, St. James's Square, London, and at Worksop Manor. In 1777 this nobleman was succeeded by Charles Howard, the ninth earl, who was educated on the Continent, where he acquired a taste for polite literature. He published several works; among the rest, historical anecdotes of the Howard family.

SECTION 5.

RESTORATION OF THE CASTle.

To the munificence of Charles Howard, Duke of Norfolk and tenth earl of Arundel of that house, the public is indebted for the excellent and costly history of the western division of the county of Sussex, executed by Dallaway. Of this nobleman Playfair, writing in his life-time, says:-"The present duke embraced the Protestant religion, and came into parliament for Carlisle when Lord Surrey, joining the opposition, and he has uniformly adhered to the same side of politics as Mr. Fox. On the death of his father he succeeded to his title and seat in the House of Lords, and there, as before, has uniformly supported the popular cause. The duke, as an orator, possesses an easy delivery, and evinces a strong understanding without aiming at ornament. His grace has been known to perform many generous actions. He kept the place of secretary to the Earl Marshal vacant for a considerable time, until he could himself find some one worthy to fill it, although earnestly solicited by many for the appointment. When Mr. Dallaway published his ingenious book of heraldry, the duke appointed him to the office without any solicitation." This nobleman found his castle of Arundel very much dilapidated, as it had been since the time of the siege, notwithstanding occasional repairs. He therefore formed the magnificent design of restoring the whole edifice on a grand scale, and making this ancient seat of his family to accord with his own views of the baronial splendour of former days. He determined that it should be built upon his own design, and therefore selected from his own estate at Greystoke, in Cumberland, young men who had shown ability as artificers, and placed them under architects and sculptors in London, until they had become perfect in their art.

The restoration of Arundel Castle was the employment and delight of the noble owner during the last twenty-five years of his life, and fully answered his expectations. In the dimensions, shape, and arrangement of the rooms, the earl imposed upon himself a necessity of accommodating them, not only to the old foundations, but in most instances to the party walls. "It was no inconsiderable merit," remarks the historian, "in a nobleman who made architecture his amusement, to have produced so much accommodation with so characteristic an effect, within a space already allotted, and to have reconciled the massiveness of castle masonry in any degree to the airiness of modern structure." The square tower at the south-east angle was the first built, and was begun in 1791; the north front in 1795. The library occupies the principal part of the south-eastern side of the court; it is 122 feet in length, and was commenced in 1801. With a plain gothic exterior it unites a most elaborate interior. The plan was an imitation of the cloister of Gloucester Cathedral, or of the aisles of the Chapel Royal at Windsor, to be wrought with elaborate carving upon the ceiling, entirely of mahogany. This was in part abandoned by the lowering of the roof, and the introduction of ornaments of various æras. This singular and beautiful library is capable of holding 10,000 volumes, and all of them easy of access.

The great hall, called also the Baron's Hall, was begun in 1806, and is connected with a chapel on the north end. A Norman arcade forms the basement upon which it rises, and supports a paved walk towards the court from which it is approached on the outside: upon the frieze are carved in stone the cognizances of the family. Before laying the foundation of this hall, the duke studied accurate sections of the roofs in the halls of Westminster, Eltham, and Crosby Place, for the purpose of constructing from them the plan of this. Of these examples the hall of Arundel most resembles that at Crosby Place. The roof of the Baron's Hall is entirely of timber frame, of Spanish chesnut, most curiously wrought, and finished so as to produce a grand effect. The dimensions of the hall are seventy feet by thirty-four. A fine series of stained glass windows, thirteen in number, decorate this hall. In the largest, at the north end, is a representation of the compelled ratification of Magna Charta by King John:

What time pavilioned on the neighbouring mead, Th' indignant Barons ranged in bright array Their feudal bands, to curb despotic sway; And, leagued a Briton's birth-right to restore, From John's reluctant grasp the roll of freedom bore. The remaining twelve windows are occupied by as many figures of barons, which are represented at full length in chain armour, and helmets closely fitted to the head. On the 15th of June, 1815, this magnificent room was first opened, and a splendid entertainment given in commemoration of the sixth century, on that day completed. A very striking effect is produced in this noble mansion by two vistas, one seen from the fire-place in the dining-room, the other from the north end of the library, where the extent of the mansion appears very surprising.

The great drawing-room, or state-chamber, contains a number of original and valuable portraits, forming nearly a complete series of the Earls of Arundel and Dukes of Norfolk, painted by Holbein, Vandyck, Lucas de Heere, Cornelius Kettel, Guillim Streetes, Vanderbank, Gascar, &c.

As a continuation of a gallery upon the first floor, there is a paved way upon the ancient walls of Arundel Castle, 246 feet long, and eight feet wide, from whence, toward the west, is a commanding view of the maritime part of the county, the English Channel and the whole range of the Isle of Wight in the extreme distance. The new gateway was begun in 1809, and now forms a striking feature in the side of the castle fronting the west. This gateway connects the ancient with the restored building; there is a projecting parapet above the arch of entrance, and grotesque heads of monsters with a machicolation in a characteristic style. The west front of the castle is by far the grandest and most imposing, and the elevation of the keep truly magnificent. A broad terrace, with an embattled parapet, surrounds the castle on the west and south sides.

On the north side of the castle, beyond the surrounding vallation, which is of very great depth, is the little park, entirely surrounded by an earth-work, still perfect, and in many parts overgrown with trees. Two principal entrances have been discovered, which are faced with Caen stone, and about the centre of the inclosure are some foundations of a

large building. This is supposed to have been a summer camp, made in early Norman times for the soldiery attached to the defence and service of the castle. These earthworks were increased by Lord Hopton before the siege.

The ancient park is situated towards the north, and is now converted into a farm: the new park, to the extent of 1145 acres, has a wall with lodges completely round it, and is spacious enough to accommodate a thousand head of deer. "This beautiful spot owes much to nature, and is formed by a very deep dell, which ends in a morass, anciently the lake, by which Swanbourn-mill was supplied. As the line of its surface is perpetually varying, new views present themselves. The western acclivity is clothed with old beech trees, and has the appearance of the adjoining forest. The opposite banks, with the downy expanse of their summit, have been judiciously covered by flourishing_plantations, and are marked out with continued terraces. From thence the sea view towards the west, the luxuriant valley, the frequent windings of the Arun, and the scattered villages, present scenes worthy and characteristic of the pencil of Claude Lorraine."

SECTION 6.

SEPULCHRAL CHAPEL OF ARundel.

The College of the Holy Trinity at Arundel was founded by Richard, earl of Arundel, in 1380, in the reign of Richard the Second. The original ecclesiastical establishment was that of the Alien Priory, or cell, established by Roger de Montgomeri, and consisting of a prior and four monks only. That of 1380 consisted of a master and twelve secular canons or fellows, priests, three deacons, three subdeacons, two acolytes, two sacrists, and seven choristers. The foundation of the buildings was laid on the site of the old priory, which was upon an eminence, opposite the western ditch of the castle. The college buildings consisted of a quadrangle, the north and east sides of which were formed by the refectory and the chapel, annexed to the parish church, and to which was a communication by means of a small cloister. The master's house stood at the east end of the chapel open to the church-yard. The other sides were occupied by the apartments of the fraternity. During the siege of the castle in 1643, the soldiery were quartered in the chapel, and did it much injury. The roof of timber frame, richly painted and gilt, was removed in 1782, and the general neglect of the buildings hastened the work of decay, which time was carrying on. The windows of the chapel were all filled with stained glass. The eastern had a series of kneeling figures, male and female, in coat armour, and mantles of their respective armorial bearings. There were likewise many escocheons. By the whole a series of portraits of the Earls and Countesses of Arundel were formed. All were broken in pieces by Waller's soldiers, but an account of them is preserved in the Heralds' Visitation Books, in 1634. The side walls of this chapel were covered with fresco paintings of arms and cognizances. cognizances. The sepulchral chapel and the master's lodgings were kept in repair for some time after the rest of the college buildings had become very much dilapidated; but these, subsequently to the siege, presented a ruinous appearance. In 1782 a series of injudicious repairs took place. The lead and parapet were taken down, and a modern slated roof supplied; the interior was also deprived of its richly painted timber frame. Within this chapel there remain some very interesting monuments of the Fitz-Alan family. The alabaster monument of Thomas Fitz-Alan, earl of Arundel, and his Countess, Beatrice, stands in the middle of the choir. The sides and ends of the tomb have figures of priests in niches, holding open books, and above is a range of shields, with tracery interposed. On the top of the tomb are represented the Earl and Countess, reposing beneath a rich canopy, with a double cushion, supported at each corner by an angel under their heads, and their hands joined in the attitude of prayer. "The hair of the Countess is inclosed in a rich network of pearls, projecting considerably from each side of the head, and surmounted by the horn head-dress, altogether one of the richest and most extravagant representations of this extraordinary fashion. Round her neck is a small chain, from which is suspended a locket. The sleeves are tight, and seamed with pearls. The margin of the mantle and petticoat are richly embroidered, the latter fitting tight to the body as low as the hips, whence it descends in straight folds, entirely covering the feet. On each side a small dog is seated, holding in its mouth the extremity of the mantle. The Earl is represented in robes, his hair cut close round his face; a collar hangs

from his neck, and at his feet is a horse. The design and execution of the canopies are extremely beautiful, particularly the tracery in the roofs, and the small heads and foliage at the intersection of the ribs. This interesting monument has received considerable injury, in various parts. A portion of the original fence of iron remains, and is a curious specimen of that species of work. There is no inscription remaining."

The ancient church of Arundel having become ruinous, the Earl already spoken of as the founder of the college rebuilt it entirely upon new and enlarged foundations, and connected it in one structure with the chapel of his college. It is said that the father of this nobleman, as admiral of the high seas, had taken much merchandize from the French in 1345, and applied the money thus obtained to the rebuilding of the church, and to the improvement of the castle. However this may be, the uniformity of the building marks it as the work of one person, and this was no doubt the earl to whom it is generally assigned. In point of dimensions, and also in architectural proportions, this church is not exceeded by any in the district. It consists of a double arcade, dividing the nave from the aisles, above which are placed a row of circular windows, inclosing quatrefoils. The communion-table is in the south transept, which always contained the parochial altar in former times. In the opposite transept was the chantry of St. Christopher, to which a priest was annexed. The foundation of this chantry took place soon after the building of the church. The tower of the church is low, and finished by a conical roof of lead, painted white, from the time of its first erection to assist mariners on the coast. This church was new pewed, and furnished with two galleries and a handsome organ, in 1822.

The founder of this church, and of the ancient college. was also the founder of a benevolent establishment called Maison-Dieu, or Hospital of the Holy Trinity.

The chapel over St. Mary's Gate, leading into the park, was founded and endowed under the will of Thomas, earl of Arundel, who died in 1415. The gateway was nearly dilapidated; but has been rebuilt in the original style.

The description of Arundel Castle has been given in conjunction with the name of its munificent restorer, Charles Howard, who, as a Protestant, was returned to parliament in 1780, and bore many public offices. He was a patron of science, being president of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (who published his portrait); a fellow of the Royal Society, and of the Society of Antiquaries. He died in St. James's Square, in his seventieth year, December 16, 1815, and was buried at Dorking.

Bernard Edward, twelfth Duke of Norfolk, and eleventh Earl of Arundel of the Howard family, was born at Sheffield, November 21, 1765, and succeeded to the title in 1815. This nobleman was married in 1789 to the Lady Elizabeth Belayse, third daughter and co-heir of Henry, Earl of Fauconberg, from whom he was divorced by act of parliament in 1794. This nobleman was permitted to exercise his office of Earl Marshal, although a Roman Catholic, in 1828; and after the passing of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill, he took his seat in the House of Lords, April 28,

1829.

On the death of this nobleman, in 1842, he was suc
