Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany of Useful and Entertaining Tracts, Vol. 9
By his grandfather's directions the young prince was removed to the castle' of Coarasse, situated among rocks and mountains, that he might be brought up in the same hardy manner as the children of the peasants of Bearn. He was accustomed to run bare-headed and bare-footed among the hills, to climb up and down the rocks, to wrestle and run with the boys of his own age, and to live on the common fare of the peasants - brown bread, beef, cheese, and garlic - Asuch being his, grandfather's notion of the proper physical education for a prince who had to reconquer the kingdom of his ancestors. Before Henry was two years Old, however, his grandfather died, and Antony de Bourbon, in the right of his wife, Jeanne d'albret, succeeded to the.; title of king of Navarre.
