Note 1048 — Chapter XI

For an account of the “Cardinal’s War” see De Thou, V, Book XXXVII, 37-40. There is another account in the Mém. de Condé, V, 27, supposed to have been written by Salzedo himself. In F. Fr. 3, 197, folio 92, there is an unpublished letter of Salzedo’s (see Appendix IX), and another of the duke of Aumale upon this incident. Chantonnay comforted Philip for the disappointment over Metz by telling him, that while the restoration of the Three Bishoprics was indeed important, because of their bearing upon the situation in Flanders, the trouble had averted a marriage alliance between France and Austria which would have been more calamitous (Letter to Philip II, October 30, 1565, in Papiers d’état du cardinal de Granvelle, IX, 625).
