Note 315 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
Brantôme, Œuvres, tom. I. p. 11.
Whether Charles actually made the remark or not, it is clear from a letter in the Gonzalez collection that this was uppermost in his thoughts.—"Su Magestad tenia gran deseo de saber que partido tomaba el rey su hijo despues de la victoria, y que estaba impacientissimo formando cuentas de que ya deberia estar sobre Paris." Carta de Quixada, 10 de Setiembre, 1557, ap. Mignet, Charles-Quint, p. 279.
It is singular that this interesting letter is neither in M. Gachard's collection nor in that made for me from the same sources.
