IRVING. Mario de Commes, Mis-s Dorothea Baird. Louis XI., King of France, haa boon a favourite character with novelists and dramatists. Walter Scott has immortalised him iv 'Quentin Dunvard" and Victor Hugo in "Notre Damo do Paris." Cruel, cun. ning, and unscrupulous, Louis XI., by his genius as a monarch, succeeded in muting France under his rule. At his accession ho found himself confronted with a number of turbulent vassals, at tho head of whom wus Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. By his statecraft Louis succeeded in destroying tho power of those vassal Lords, and the de< feat and death of Charles tho Bold of Burgundy play a prominent part in tho drama, In tho lost years of hiu life Louis became a prey to the terror of death, and it is in the cruelty and suspicion of his" last years that tho dramatist has chosen to portray him. His cruelty was shown by the life-long imprisonment of an un-^ faithful Minibtor in an iron cage, his^ superstition by the imago of the Saints, which < ho, carried in his cap, and whoso forgiveness for tho crimes ho had committed he was in the habit of invoking. ■ Louis XI. was contemporary with Henry VI., Edward IV., and Richard 111. in England, and he figures as a character ia tho third part o£ Shakespeare's "King Honry VI."
