[153] Gaspard de Guzman, third count, and afterwards Duke, of Olivarez. Favourite of the new king, he shared power with his uncle, Don Balthazar de Zuniga, until the latter’s death in 1623, from which time up to 1643 he was Prime Minister. He died in 1645. [154] Charles de Clermont d’Amboise, Marquis de Bussy. He was killed in a duel in the Place-Royale in Paris, in April, 1627. [155] The _loba_ was a long sleeveless robe; the _caperuza_ a hood; and the _caperote_ a short cloak fitted with a hood. [156] The Crowns of Spain and Naples, etc. [157] Don Carlos. [158] To demand _lugar_ of a lady was to request permission to pay one’s respects to her at a time and place to be named by her. [159] Diego de Sandoval y Rojas. [160] Aloysia de Mendoza. She was Countess of Saldagna in her own right, and her husband assumed the title of Count of Saldagna. [161] Saldagna had been a widower since 1619. [162] Catherine de Zuniga y Sandoval, widow of Fernando de Portugal y Castro, sixth Count of Lemos. [163] See p. 287, _supra_. [164] The celebrated Duke of Alba. [165] The fourth Duke of Alba. [166] “I have paid the compliment of condolence with which the King charged me, so well, that, save that I did not weep, my countenance presented every indication of grief and sadness. Now it lays aside this false mask, since nothing can further retard my return to France, whither I am going with infinite joy, and infinite desire to serve my master well in war, or my mistress, if we have peace.”--Bassompierre to Puisieux, May 10, 1621. [167] Titled persons; that is to say, noblemen who were not grandees of Spain. [168] Municipal officials. [169] The principal magistrate of the town. [170] In July, 1639, during his captivity in the Bastille, Bassompierre was obliged to part temporarily with Philip IV’s gift, which is described as “the diamond of the King of Spain,” as security for a loan of 6,300 livres. He redeemed it in May, 1641, but as, after his death, it does not figure in the inventory of his jewels, he would appear to have pledged it again, or perhaps have sold it. [171] Louis de Marillac, Comte de Beaumont-le-Roger. He was created a marshal of France in 1629, and was executed for high treason on May 10, 1632. [172] This faubourg had been called Ville-Bourbon, since Henri IV had surrounded it with fortifications. [173] This was the old fourteenth-century bridge already mentioned. [174] Bassompierre received next day a letter from the King, complimenting him on the courage and resource he had shown. [175] The Duc de Luxembourg, the Constable’s youngest brother. [176] The Queen had established herself at Moissac, on the right bank of the Tarn, where she remained during the greater part of the siege.
