“Montmorency bears the vogue in court.”—C. S. P. For., No. 1,216, Norris to the Queen, August 31, 1570. To enhance his prestige at this time, Montmorency’s claim of right of precedence at court which the duke of Mayenne contested was decided by the Privy Council in his favor (C. S. P. For., No. 1,083, July 9, 1570).
