Note 373 — Chapter IV

See Vargas to Philip II, from Rome, September 30, 1561, in Papiers d’état du cardinal de Granvelle, VI, 357, where he tells the king of one of Antoine’s speeches. One of the minor duties of Don Juan de Manrique’s mission to France in January, 1561, had been to give Antoine hope in that quarter, in which policy Spain’s grand master of artillery, and the papal nuncio worked together. The nuncio was Hippolyte d’Este, the cardinal of Ferrara. His correspondence is published in Négociations ou lettres d’affaires ecclésiastiques et politiques escrites au Pape Pie IV et au Cardinal Borromée, par Hippolyte d’Est, cardinal de Ferrare, legat en France au commencement des guerres civiles, Paris, 1658.
