. 203-4; ed. Macray, vol. i, pp. 340-2. Page 62, l. 23. Thomas Savile (1590-1658), created Viscount Savile, 1628, Privy Councillor, 1640, Controller and then Treasurer of the Household. 'He was', says Clarendon, 'a man of an ambitious and restless nature, of parts and wit enough, but in his disposition and inclination so false that he could never be believed or depended upon. His particular malice to the earl of Strafford, which he had sucked in with his milk, (there having always been an immortal feud between the families, and the earl had shrewdly overborne his father), had engaged him with all persons who were willing, and like to be able, to do him mischieve' (_History_, Bk. VI, ed. Macray, vol. ii, p. 534). Page 63, l. 25. _S'r Harry Vane_. See p. 152, ll. 9 ff. l. 26. _Plutarch recordes_, Life of Sylla, last sentence. 18. Memoires of the reigne of King Charles I, 1701, pp. 109-13. Page 65, l. 21. Warwick was member for Radnor in the Long Parliament from 1640 to 1644. The Bill of Attainder passed the Commons on April 21, 1641, by 204 votes to 59 (Clarendon, ed. Macray, vol. i, p. 306; Rushworth, _Historical Collections_, third part, vol. i, 1692, p. 225). The names of the minority were posted up at Westminster, under the heading 'These are Straffordians, Betrayers of their Country' (Rushworth, _id._, pp. 248-9). There are 56 names, and 'Mr. Warwick' is one of them. 19. Clarendon, MS. History, p. 398; _History_, Bk. VI, ed. 1703, vol. ii, pp. 115-6; ed. Macray, vol. ii, pp. 477-8. Page 68, l. 5. _Et velut aequali_. The source of this quotation is not yet found. l. 15. _the Standard was sett up_, at Nottingham, on August 22, 1642. l. 17. Robert Greville (1608-43), second Baron Brooke, cousin of Sir Fulke Greville, first Baron (p. 23, l. 4). See Clarendon, ed. Macray, vol. ii, pp. 474-5. l. 27. _all his Children_. Compare Warwick's account of 'that most noble and stout Lord, the Earle of Northampton', _Memoires_, pp. 255-7: 'This may be said of him, that he faithfully served his Master, living and dead; for he left six eminent sons, who were all heirs of his courage, loyalty, and virtue; whereof the eldest was not then twenty.' 20. Clarendon, MS. History, pp. 477-8; _History_, Bk. VII, ed. 1703, vol. ii, pp. 269-70; ed. Macray, vol. iii, pp. 177-8. Carnarvon's character has much in common with Northampton's.
