The earl of Warwick was, therefore, through pity, refpited from death, but baniihed to the ifle of Wight, -which is a dependancy on England. He was told,—f Earl of Warwick, this fcntence is very favourable, for you have defcrved to die as much as the earl of Arundel, but the handfome fervices you have done in times paft, to king Edward of happy memory, and the prince of Wales his fon, as well on this as on the other fide of the fea, have fecured your life ; but it is ordered that you banifh * yourfelf to the ifle of Wight, taking with you a fufficiency of wealth to fupport your ftate as long as you fhall live, and that you never quit the ifland.' The earl of Warwick was not difpleafed. with this fentence, fince his life was^fpared, and, having thanked the king and council for their lenity, made no delay in his preparations to furrender himfelf in the ifle of Wight on the appointed day, which he did with part of his houfehold. The ifle of Wight is fituated oppofite the coaft of Normandy, and has fpace enough for the refldence of a great lord, but he muft provide himfelf with all that he may want from the circumjacent countries, or he will be badly fupplied with' provifîon and other things.
