Note 609 — Chapter XIII · THE FESTIVAL OF BLOOD. [August and September, 1572.]
Reading edition
The Neustadt letter says that Teligny offered to ransom his life for 1000 crowns, which the captain agreed to accept if Guise would permit him. “I am a poor fellow, and 1000 will be of great use to me.”—“You are a fool,” answered the duke; “don’t you think the king will reward you better?” Teligny and his wife were poniarded. Teligny’s wife was not killed; she afterward married William of Orange.
