The Percy Anecdotes (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from The Percy Anecdotes In the prosecution of the Earl of Essex for high treason, Coke, ' says Hume, 'opened the cause against him, and treated him with the cruelty and insolence which that great lawyer usually exercised against the unfortunate.' At the conclusion of his speech he said, that 'by the just judgment of God, he of his earldom should be Robert the Last, that of a kingdom thought to be Robert the First.'
