Note 484 — Chapter XIII · 1581-1584
Reading edition
See letter of Castelnau to Henry III., 1st July; in extenso in Chéruel’s Marie Stuart. How completely Mary distrusted the French and Castelnau at the time, notwithstanding her cordial letters to them, may be seen by a paragraph in her letter to Mendoza of 13th July (Spanish State Papers). The recognition of James as King by La Mothe’s embassy had confirmed Mary’s determination to depend only upon the Spaniards.
