this marriage was flavered with
the prospect of sharing the throne

Afflicted with this grievous loss
she repaired to Hainault, and found

succession of his dominions, and
in providing her with a husband
who might be able to repress the

John of Bavaria continued his usurpations, and the citizens of Holland, disgusted with his despotic administration, rose in arms, and earnestly called for the presence of their Sovereign. Jacqueline having in vain solicited the assistance of her husband, or his permission to return, her high spirit became irritated by repeated neglect and ill usage; fearful of losin her pate nal inheritance, she withdrew from the palace, attended only by a single page, and under the sanc tion of her mother, who had in vain remonstrated against his unfeeling conduct.

It cannot be a wonder that se amiable a princess, only in the

twentieth year of her age, and in the full lustre of her beauty, formed by her amiable disposition to impart felicity in the married state, and deserving a reciprocal attachment, should become anxious to dissolve a marriage which had been the source of so much unhappiness. Her affinity with the duke of Brabant afforded a plausi. ble pretext, because this very objection had been urged by pope Martin the Fifth, and it was not without difficulty that he had been induced to grant the dispensation, But while she was soliciting the pope, an incident happened, which, by interesting her passions, rendered her still more cager for the success of her application.

The duke of Glocester was not insensible to the charms of Jacqueline, nor unmoved by the prospect of becoming the sovereign of so many states. Thus, mutually attracted, Jacqueline and the duke of Glocester flattered themselves that they might prevail upon the pope to annul the former marriage.

But while they indulged this hope, a powerful obstacle to their union rose in the family of Jacqueline. Philip, surnamed the good, duke of Burgundy, possessed emi
