[29] In 1525, at the time when Francis I. arrived as a prisoner
at Madrid, Charles held a General Cortes of Castille at Toledo.
There were present most of the Grandees, and all the foreign
Ambassadors. The Viceroy Carlos de Lannoy arrived at Toledo,
and was cordially received by the Emperor, after having brought
Francis to Madrid. The Cortes petitioned Charles to marry Isabel,
the Infanta of Portugal; while the English Ambassadors proposed
to him his cousin, Mary Tudor. The Cortes sat until the end of
August.--_Sandoval_, i. 664 (2).
