An account of the Legate's journey was found by Mendham among Lord
Guildford's manuscripts, and is described in the Supplement to his life
of Pius V., p. 13. It is written by the Master of Ceremonies, and
possesses no interest. The _Relatio_ already quoted, which corresponds
to the description given by Clement VIII. of his own work, is among the
manuscripts of the Marquis Capponi, No. 164.]
[Footnote 52: Vuol andar con ogni quiete et dissimulatione, fin che il
Re suo figliolo sia in eta (Santa Croce, Desp. June 27, 1563; _Lettres

[Footnote 54: Il Papa credeva che la pace fatta, e l'aver consentito il
Re che l'Ammiraglio venisse in corte, fusse con disegno di ammazzarlo;
ma accortosi come passa il fatto, non ha creduto che nel Re Nostro sia
quella brava resoluzione (Letter of Nov. 28, 1571; Desjardins, iii.
732). Pour le regard de M. l'Admiral, je n'ay failly de luy faire
entendre ce que je devois, suyvant ce qu'il a pleu a V.M. me commander,
dont il est demeure fort satisfaict (Ferralz to Charles IX., Dec. 25,
1571; Bib. Imp. F. Fr. 16,039; Walsingham to Herbert, Oct. 10, 1571; to
Smith, Nov. 26, 1572; Digges, p. 290).]

[Footnote 56: Le Roy estoit d'intelligence, ayant permis a ceux de la
Religion de l'assister, et, cas advenant que leurs entreprises
succedassent, qu'il les favoriserait ouvertement ... Genlis, menant un
secours dans Mons, fut defait par le duc d'Alve, qui avoit comme investi
la ville. La journee de Saint-Barthelemi se resolut (Bouillon,
_Memoires_, p. 9).]
[Footnote 57: Si potria distruggere il resto, maxime che l'ammiraglio si
trova in Parigi, populo Catholico et devoto del suo Re, dove potria se
volesse facilmente levarselo dinnanzi per sempre (Castagna, Desp. Aug.
5, 1572; Theiner, i. 327).]

[Footnote 59: En quelque sorte que ce soit ledict Seigneur est resollu
faire vivre ses subjectz en sa religion, et ne permettre jamais ny
