Explore "Windsor Castle" by William H. Ainsworth on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
ON the anniversary of Saint George, 1536, and exactly seven years from the opening of this chronicle, Henry assembled the knights-companions within Windsor Castle to hold the grand feast of the most noble Order of the Garter.
Many important events had occurred in the wide interval thus suffered to elapse. Wolsey had long since sunk under his reverses -- for he never regained the royal favour after his dismissal -- and had expired at Leicester Abbey, on the 26th November 1530.
