_Descent of Edward IV._--Professor Millar, in his _Historical View of

the English Government_ (ii. 174.), in discussing the claim of Edward

IV. to the English throne, speaks of "a popular though probably a

groundless tradition, that by his mother he was descended from Henry

III. by an elder brother of Edward I., who, on account of his personal

deformity, had been excluded from the succession to the crown." Where

may I find this tradition? or where meet with any information on the

subject?
