Sir John Fortescue
Sir John Fortescue (1395 - c. 1476) was an eminent English lawyer, born in Somersetshire and flourished in the 15th century. He was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn, and in 1442 became Lord Chief-Justice of the Court of King's Bench. He was a staunch Lancastrian during the Wars of the Roses, and shared the exile of Queen Margaret and her son Edward, for whom he wrote in dialogue form his famous "De Laudibus Legum," a treatise still read. The fate of the Lancastrian cause was sealed on the field of Tewkesbury, and he himself was taken prisoner. He died at the advanced age of 90.Wisdom & Quotes
