Note 514 — Chapter XVII
Reading edition
“I am as glad of the good resolutions of the Duke of Cleves, his mother, and council, as ever I was of anything since the birth of the prince: for I think the King’s Highness should not in Christendom marry in no place meet for his Grace’s honour that should be less prejudicial to his Majesty’s succession.”—Hertford to Cromwell: Ellis, first series, Vol. II. p. 119.
