    EPIGRAPH: I have persectuted the natives of England beyond all reason. Whether gentle or simple I have cruelly oppressed them, Many I unjustly disinherited; innumberable multitudes perished through me by famine or the sword. Having gained the throne of that kingdom by so many crimes, I dare not leave it to anyone but God.
