. Flora Americae Septentrionalis, or, A systematic arrangement and description of the plants of North America [electronic resource] : containing, besides what have been described by preceding authors, many new and rare species, collected during twelve years travels and residence in that country. Botany. 346 ISABELLA OF ANGOUL^ME. In all probability, the king was seized with one of those severe typhus fevers often endemic in the fenny countries at the close of the year. The symptoms of alternate cold and heat, detailed by the chroniclers, approximate closely with that disease. Whether by the visitation of God, or through the agency of man, the fact is evident, that king John was stricken with a fatal illness at Swinshead; but, sick as he was, he ordered himself to be put in a litter, and carried for- ward on his northern progress. At Newark he could proceed no further, but gave himself up to the fierce attacks of the malady. He sent for the abbot and monks of Croxton, and made full confession of all his suis, (no sUght undertaking;) he then forgave his enemies, and enjoined those about him to charge his son, Henry, to do the same; and, after taking the eucharist, and making all his officers swear fealty to hia eldest son, he expired, conmiending his soul to God, and hjs body to burial in Worcester cathedral, according to his especial direc- tions, close to the grave of St. Wulstan, * a Saxon bishop of great reputation for sanctity, lately canonized. This vicinity the dying king evidently considered likely to be convenient for keeping his corpse from the attacks of the Evil one, whom he had indefatigably served during his life. His contem- porary historians did not seem to think that this arrangement however prudently planned, was likely to be effectual in alter- ing his destination; as one of them sums up his character in these words of terrific energy, —" Hell felt itself defiled by the presence of John." The queen and the royal children were at Gloucester
