April 28th
April 28th The first thing I did after I got up was to ride on horseback. Then I wrote an exercise, got a french grammar lesson, and after breakfast was over got a french reading lesson, said it to Uncle O. & read my usual number of pages in history. Edward was scarcely seated on the throne when he entered on a war with Scotland which he did not success in overcoming. He had earl Mortimer and the earl of Kent executed. Edward then took the reins of government into his own hands and applied himself with industry & judgment to adjust all things which had been neglected by the late kings.
I passed, & afterwards worked. since dinner I heard Charles & Nanny their lessons & got geography.
