Note 14 — OF LEONE LIONI OF AREZZO, AND OTHER SCULPTORS AND ARCHITECTS

Gaston du C. De Vere translation

The story runs that in the year 1533 Queen Maria attacked and destroyed the Castle of Folembrai, and that in the following year King Henry of France, out of revenge, destroyed the fortress of Binche in Upper Hainault, leaving on the ruined walls the words "Voilà Folembrai"; which in the Italian have been corrupted into "Vela fole Maria."
