Note 1339 — Chapter XIV

Proclamation by Charles IX: Commands all gentlemen and soldiers to repair to the camp of the duke of Anjou by the 20th of June, properly armed and equipped for service. Requires his officers to search out the names of such as disobey this order and send them to him, in order that they may be punished in such manner as he may think fit (C. S. P. For., No. 281, May, 1569). The King is levying a new army and is disfurnishing his garrisons in Picardy and Normandy (ibid., No. 287, June 3, 1569). Alva promised 4,000 Spanish troops (Nég. Tosc., III, 591).
