While I was in a maze, he said to Morton, that is to say, while he was indulging in his daydream, as I rode between Worcester and Bridgnorth, I encountered with the Lady Margaret, Countess of Richmond, now the wife of the Lord Stanley, which is the very daughter and sole heir to Lord John Duke of Somerset, my grandfather's eldest brother.

which was as clean out of my mind as though I had never seen her so that she and her son the Earl of Richmond be both bulwark and portcullis between me and the gate to enter into majesty royal in getting of the crown the Countess looking upon Buckingham as the most influential friend and supporter of King Richard seized the opportunity to ask to his intercession in her son's behalf and prayed him by the family ties which existed between them that he would urge the king to let him return to England she also alluded to the suggestion made in Edward IV's time that her son should marry one of the king's daughters and said that if Richard were agreeable to such a match now that the issue of Edward IV were cut off from the succession she herself would be well pleased that her son should take the young lady without any dowry evidently this suggestion opened the eyes of Buckingham more fully than the mere accident of his meeting with the Countess to get rid of King Richard and seize the crown himself seemed on fuller consideration a policy beset with dangers on the one side he would be constantly opposed by those who upheld the right of King Edward's daughters while on the other the claims of the Earl of Richmond were undeniably superior to his own his life as king would under the circumstances have been intolerable and if the two rivals should make common cause against him the alliance being made fast by marriage between the Earl and Edward's eldest daughter the game was simply at an end all this must have passed through his mind when the Countess asked his intercession for her son a request which he very naturally evaded but after their meeting was over when she had passed on to Worcester and he to Shrewsbury he set himself to recast his plans and being fully resolved at all events to aid in dethroning King Richard he conceived that it might be best be done by that very combination which he saw would be so fatal to himself if he in his turn played the part of a usurper he therefore informed Morton that he would glad to assist the Earl of Richmond to the crown as heir to the house of Lancaster in whose cause both his father and his grandfather had lost their lives if the Earl would engage to marry Elizabeth eldest daughter of the late King Edward Bishop Morton who had always been an adherent of the house of Lancaster so long as there remained any chance in Edward IV's time of vindicating their pretensions was simply delighted to hear of the Duke's intention and resolved that he should not be allowed to cool in it he at once led the Duke to confer with him as the means of carrying out the project and who should be taken into confidence Buckingham would of course begin with the Lady Margaret as she was commonly called the Earl's mother Morton advised him to make use of the services of her dependent Reginald Bray to whom with the Duke's consent he wrote urging him to come at once to Brecknock Bray accordingly came from Lancashire where the messenger found him with Lord Stanley and the Countess and to him the design was first imparted the Duke and Morton desired him to advise his mistress first to obtain the assent of the Queen Dowager Elizabeth Woodville to the project and then secretly send a message to her son in Brittany to tell him the high honour that was prepared for him if he would swear to marry Elizabeth of York with this commission Bray was dispatched and the Bishop next told the Duke that if he were in his own Isle of Ely he could make many friends to further the scheme and that the whole of that district was so well protected by nature that with four days warning he could set Richard at defiance this the Duke well knew but he hesitated about letting his prisoner escape till Morton taking the matter into his own hands fled secretly by night in disguise he first came to his sea of Ely where he found both money and friends and then sailed into Flanders where he remained doing good service to the Earl of Richmond until the scheme devised at Brecknock had been realised and the Earl had become King of England it is needless to say that Lady Margaret the Countess of Richmond entered into this scheme with the utmost satisfaction
