Excerpt from The Caged Lion
When the venture has been made of dealing with historical events and characters, it always seems fair towards the reader to avow what liberties have been taken, and how much of the sketch is founded on his tory. In the present case, it is scarcely necessary to do more than refer to the almost unique relations that subsisted between Henry V. And his prisoner, James I. Of Scotland who lived with him throughout his reign on the terms of friend rather than of captive, and was absolutely sheltered by this imprisonment throughout his nonage and early youth from the frightful violence and presumption of the nobles of his kingdom.
