‘Who was the son of Edmund Langley,
Edward the Third’s fifth son’s son, and by her
I claim the kingdom, for she then was heir
To Roger &c.’
It was Capell who arranged the earlier lines of the speech as we have given them. Steevens, as usual, adopted his arrangement without acknowledging the obligation.
Mr Collier, in his first edition, read:
‘Married Richard Earl of Cambridge; who was
To Edmond Langley Edward the third’s fifth son, son.’
NOTE VII.
[III. 1.] We retain here Salisbury and Warwick among the persons who enter to the parliament, because they are found both in the Folios and Quartos. In the latter their ‘exeunt’ is also marked. Capell was the first to omit them because they do not speak throughout the scene.
