Note 701 — Chapter XIV · MASSACRE IN THE PROVINCES. [August to October, 1572.]
Reading edition
This curious story will be found in the Dulaure MSS., preserved in the public library of Clermont-Ferrand. This (to say nothing of the instances already given) disposes of Capefigue’s “inability to find any proof of orders issued by the king to massacre in the provinces.” Hist. de la Réforme, iii. p. 229, note.
