Note 1170 — Chapter XII
Reading edition
Gachard, I, 606-7, from Paris, December 4, 1567; Correspondance de Catherine de Médicis, Letter CLII; Correspondance de Philippe II, I, 605-7. The queen mother seems to have been frightened after the battle of St. Denis for she disclaims blame in advance, “before God and all the Christian princes,” if, in default of help, she be forced to make peace with the prince of Condé. At about the same time, she also wrote to Philip II in the same strain (quoted in part by Forneron, I, 348 from K. 1,507, No. 29). I do not find that this letter has been printed.
