Note 703 — Chapter II · SUMMARY.
Reading edition
“Et touschant le schois de ma merre” has been supposed to be “touching the choice of my mother,” and to refer to one or other of Margaret Tudor’s numerous spouses. But the word is evidently chose or choses, for in the right use of French plurals the royal James was not particular; he alludes by that word to some of his deceased mother’s personal effects.
