Reading edition
The vidame of Chartres to the Marshal Montmorency, October 3, 1570. See Appendix XXVII. The scheme originated with the vidame de Chartres and the cardinal Châtillon (see La Ferrière, “Les projets de marriage d’une reine d’Angleterre,” Revue des deux mondes, September 15, 1881, p. 310); cf. Hume, Courtships of Queen Elizabeth, 115. In 1563 the prince of Condé had actually proposed the marriage of Charles IX and Elizabeth (Revue des deux mondes). August 15, 1881, p. 861.
