A stately lady was looking out of the window of an apartment in the Royal Chateau of Amboise, in the month of June, 1470.

A stately lady was looking out of the window of an apartment in the Royal Chateau of Amboise, in the month of June, 1470.

"And yet it seemed," the queen said, "that by marrying his daughter to Clarence he had bound himself more firmly than ever to the side of York." "Ay, madam," the knight said. "But Clarence himself is said to be alike unprincipled and ambitious, and it may well be that Warwick intended to set him up against Edward; had he not done so, such an alliance would not necessarily strengthen his position at Court."
