Reading edition
Davila, liv. v.; Capilupi: Lo Stratagema; and De Thou give this story, but the latter does not believe it. Ant. Gabut (Vita Pii V.) gives the inscription on the ring which Charles sent to Alessandrino after the death of Pius V.: “Non minus hæc solida est pietas, ne solvi.” In the Mém. Etat de France, the legate “s’en allait bien content.” I. 150.
