Note 250 — Chapter X · THE PAPACY AND ITS DANGERS.
S. G. C. (Samuel George Chetwynd) Middlemore translation
He was married, as is well known, to a French princess of the family of Albret, and had a daughter by her; in some way or other he would have attempted to found a dynasty. It is not known that he took steps to regain the cardinal’s hat, although (acc. to Macchiavelli, l. c. p. 285) he must have counted on the speedy death of his father.
