Excerpt from A History of the Four Georges and of William IV, Vol. 1 of 2 Palatine of the Rhine, and her life was crossed and thwarted by the opening of the Thirty Years' War, and then by the misfortunes of her brother Charles and his dynasty. Elizabeth survived the English troubles and saw the Restoration, and came to live in England, and to see her nephew, Charles the Second, reign as king. She barely saw this. Two years after the Restoration she died in London. Sophia was her twelfth child she had thirteen in all. One Of Sophia's elder brothers was Prince Rupert, that Rupert Of the Rhine, of Whom Macaulay's ballad says that, Rupert never comes but to conquer or t5 die, the Rupert whose daring and irresistible charges generally won his half Of the battle only that the other half might be lost, and that his success might be swallowed up in the ruin Of his companions. His headlong bravery was a misfortune rather than an advantage to his cause, and there seems to have been one instance, that Of the sur render Of Bristol, in which that bravery deserted him for the moment. We see him afterwards, in the pages Of Pepys, an uninteresting, prosaic, pedantic figure, usefully employed in scientific experiments, and with all the gilt washed' Off him by time and years and the commonplace wear and tear of routine life.
