# Description This is a page of running prose from what appears to be a narrative poem in early modern English. The page contains the conclusion of Chapter 35 and the beginning of Chapter 35 (labeled "CHAP. XXXV"). The text describes historical events involving Henry (apparently Henry VII) landing in England, subduing a foe, and marrying a woman, thereby ending civil wars. Chapter 35 then begins discussing Fauchteenth Henry's successful reign, interrupted by a rebellion involving "three-fold Deddalen-Icarists" and conspirators who falsely present the "forged Yorkes" as the rightful Duke Clarence. The passage references battles, a priest, and a Queen pronouncing judgment on crimes.
