Note 545 — Chapter XXI

Henry Vizetelly translation

Buticary was set at liberty at Saint-Mars’ request. The following extract from a despatch proves that he ought not to be confounded with Caluzio, as M. Loiseleur has done: “In the correspondence of Saint-Mars,” he says (Revue Contemporaine, July 31, 1867, p. 202, note), “Caluzio is sometimes called Buticary. One of the two names is a surname.” Now, September 14, 1675, Louvois writes to Saint-Mars: “You have done right to give a sergeant and two soldiers to take the Sieur Caluzio to Lyons, and as to the Sieur Buticary, when the King is at Saint-Germain, I will willingly speak in his favour and endeavour to obtain his release.”
