Note 752 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
Charles IX to St. Sulpice, February 26,1564, L’Ambassade de St. Sulpice, 229; D’Aubigné. II, 223; L’Estoile, I, 19; Bulletin de la Soc. prot. franç., XXIV, 412. Catherine makes no allusion to this scene in her letter to Elizabeth of Spain at this season (L’Ambassade de St. Sulpice, 237). But on a subsequent occasion, when the cardinal of Lorraine dropped the remark that the Council of Trent ought to be called Spanish, the queen mother replied “qu’il avait raison, et que aussi lui même s’était montré tel et plus de ce parti que de tout autre.”—Ibid., 383.
