Note 1158 — Chapter XII

See the proclamation of Charles IX commanding the provost Paris to search out all gentlemen who have retired to their homes since the battle of St. Denis; and ordering them to return to the army under pain of forfeiture of their fiefs and property. Printed in Appendix XII. In the second part of Coll. de St. Pétersbourg, Vol. XXI, is a group of letters from Charles IX to the duke of Anjou running from December 2, 1567. In every page the question of the military operations of the second civil war comes up. It is evident that the gentlemen of the maison du roi complained loudly of the service required of them, especially because they were so ill lodged.—La Ferrière, Deux ans de mission à St. Pétersbourg, 24.
