Description

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Pretenders, Vol. 3 of 3: And Their Adherents In 1 747, when only in his twenty-third year, Henry, or, as he was usually styled, the Duke of York, received a cardinal's hat from Benedict the Fourteenth, and was subsequently appointed Bishop of Frescati, and Chancellor of the Church of St. Peter. Cheerful, temperate, and humane, he sought consolation, we are told, for the misfortunes of his predecessors in a scrupulous ob servance of the duties of his religion; apparently secured, in his retirement, from the storms and vicissitudes but too Often dependent upon political life. On the death of his brother Charles, in I 788, the only step which he took to assert his right to the British throne was to cause a paper to be drawn up, in which his rightful claims were insisted upon; while at the same time he ordered a medal to be struck, with the inscription Henricus Nonus, Anglia Rex, on one side, and the words Dd gmtz'a red non voluntate komz'fmm, on the other.
