Note 77 — Chapter VIII · ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S NIGHT.
Daniel De Leon translation
It is certain that Admiral Coligny's head departed for Rome; whether it ever arrived there is not known. Mandelot, the Governor of Lyons, acknowledged receipt of a letter from Charles IX ordering the nobleman "to arrest the carrier of the head, and to take the same away from him."—Extracts from the correspondence of Mandelot, published by M. Paulin, Paris, 1845, p. 119.
