Note 664 — Chapter V
H. White translation
Princeps illa, mulier optima, noluerit quicquam audire de nuptiis, quæ nuptiæ non possunt conjungi sine miserabili Catharinæ casu atque adeo interitu. (Polyd. Virg. p. 687.) That princess, a most noble woman, would not listen to any proposal for an alliance which could not be made without involving Catherine in ruin and death.
