Page 35. line 3 from the bottom. _Duke of Savoy._] Charles John
Amadeus, commonly called Charles the second, duke of Savoy, died this
year at the tender age of eight years. The suspicion of poisoning the
waters, which is no where that I can find alluded to by Guicciardini,
probably refers to his successor Philip count of Bresse who died the
year following just at the time that he had intended to leave the party
of the king of France and embrace that of the confederates. Philip had
three sons; Philibert II. who succeeded him and died in 1504 without
issue by Margaret of Austria his wife; Charles III; and Philip duke
of Nemours. Louisa, who married Charles count of Angoulême, and is so
celebrated in history as the mother of Francis the first, was one of
his daughters.

Clara Gonzaga, left issue, 1. Louis count of Montpensier who died in

siege of Rome in 1527, 3. Francis duke of Chatelherault, died 1515;
4. Louisa, lady of Chavigny, 5. Reparata, married to Anthony duke of
Lorraine. Neither of the sons left any issue surviving.

Perault, bishop of Saintes, Cardinal in 1493, died in 1505.

marriage with the house of Sforza, but not, that I can find, with that

Bourbon, the last of the eldest line of Robert de Clermont son of
St. Louis. His only daughter and heir, Susanna, married Charles de
