◆Mlle. de Limeuil was the mistress of the Prince de Condé. During the journey of the court at Lyons, in July, 1564, she was confined in the cabinet of the queen mother, who was so furious that she had her locked up in a Franciscan monastery at Auxonne. But the _Confession de Sancy_ and several authors of that time differ from Brantôme in saying that the child was a son and not a daughter, and died immediately after birth. The Huguenots wrote verses about the adventure; but the young lady nevertheless married an Italian, Scipion Sardini, for whom she soon forgot the Prince de Condé. Mlle. de Limeuil called herself Isabelle de La Tour de Turenne, and was Dame de Limeuil. [50] P. 81: ◆Cosimo I., Duke of Tuscany. Besides, Pope Alexander VI. was also in a somewhat similar situation.

The young man chosen was not a nobleman, but simply an Antinous of negligible origin whom the king created Duke d’Albuquerque. A child, Jeanne, was born of this complacent match, but she did not reign. Castile preferred Henri III.’s sister, Isabelle. ◆Fulgosius (Battista Fregose), born at Genoa 1440, of a family famous in Genoese history, and for a time Doge of his native City. His chief Work, _Factorum et Dictorum Memorabilium libri IX_. (Memorable Deeds and Words, 9 bks.), has been more than once reprinted. This particular statement is to be found in ch. 3. of Bk. IX. [54] P. 91: ◆We have here, perhaps, a discreet allusion to Henri IV.’s passion for Mlle. de Tignonville, who had been unmanageable until she married. (See the _Confession de Sancy_, and t.
