However much others might be pleafed, it was not fo with the duke of Gloceftef ; for he faw plainly that by this marriage peace would be efta* blifhed between the two kingdoms, which fortly difpleafed him, uniefs it fhould be fuch a peace as would redound to the honour of England, and every thing were placed on the fame footing as when the war broke out in - Gafcony. He fre-quently converfed on this fubject with his brother the duke of York, and, whenever the occafion was favourable, endeavoured to draw him over to his way of thinking, for he was but of weak un-derftanding. He dared not fpeak fo,freely to his elder brother of Lancafter, who was of the king's party, and well fatisfied with this marriage, on ac-count of his two daughters the Queens of CpftiU* and Portugal.
