[4] The constable Montmorency, in a letter to Queen Elizabeth dated
June 30, 1559, says that the accident happened “yesterday,” i. e., June
29.—_C. S. P. Eng. For._, No. 698. Almost all the sources, however,
give June 30. Cf. Castelnau, Book I, chap. i. Throckmorton gives June
30. See p. 3, note 1.
[5] The origin of the Scotch Guard goes back to the Hundred Years’
War. In 1420, five years after the battle of Agincourt, when Henry V
was in possession of all of northern France, the dauphin, Charles VII,
sent the count of Vendôme to Scotland to ask for assistance in virtue
of the ancient league between the two nations. In 1421 a body of 1,000
Scots arrived in France under the earl of Buchan. They fought at Baugé
in Anjou in that year, but were almost all destroyed in 1424 in the
furious battle of Verneuil. The remnant, in honor of their services,
became the king’s own guard. See Skene, _The Book of Pluscarden_,
II, xix-xxi, xxvi-xxix; Houston, _L’Escosse françois_ (Discours des
alliances commencées depuis l’an sept cents septante, et continuées
jusques à present, entre les couronnes de France et d’Escosse), Paris,
1608; Forbes Leith, _The Scots Men-at-Arms and Life Guards in France,
from Their Formation until Their Final Dissolution_, 2 vols., 1882.
The Guard consisted of the principal captain, the lieutenant, and the
ensign, the maréchal-de-loges, three commis, eighty archers of the
guard, twenty-four archers of the corps; the pay of whom amounted
annually to 51,800 francs, or 6,475 pounds sterling.—_C. S. P. For._,
No. 544, December, 1559.
[6] Claude Haton, whose Catholic prejudice was strong, believed this
reluctance to be feigned (_Mémoires_, I, 107).
[7] D’Aubigné, Book II, chap, xiv, says the blow raised the King’s
visor, and that the end of the lance, which was bound with a _morne_,
or ring, to dull the point, crashed through the helmet like a bludgeon.
Tavannes, chap, xiv, says that the King had failed to take the
precaution to fasten his visor down.
[8] Throckmorton to the Lords in Council, _C. S. P. For._, June 30,
1559.
[9] D’Aubigné, _loc. cit._ La Place, 20, says that the King spoke to
the cardinal of Lorraine. De Thou, Book II, 674, on the authority of
Brantôme, doubts it.
[10] The Palais des Tournelles stood in the present Place Royale. It
was torn down in 1575.

the King would lose his eye.”
[13] _C. S. P. For._, No. 950, July 8, 1559. De Ruble, _Antoine de
Bourbon et Jeanne d’Albret_, I, 432, has published Vesalius’ official
report. Henry II had a body-physician who also enjoyed a European
reputation. This was Fernal. He was the author of a Latin work upon
pathology which was translated into French in 1660 under the title: _La
pathologie de Jean Fernal, premier medicin de Henry II, roy de France,
ouvrage très-utile à tous ceux qui s’appliquent à la connoissance du
corps humain_.
[14] There is an account of the funeral in _Arch. cur._, III, 309-48.
The MS account of the funeral expenses is in the Phillipps Collection,
2,995. Compare Galembert, _Funerailles du roy Henri II, Roole des
parties et somme de deniers pour le faict des dits obsèques et pompes
funèbres_. Publié avec une introduction. Paris, Fontaine, 1869.

[19] And yet the evil nature of Henry II’s reign may be exaggerated.
An extended and critical history of his reign is still to be written.
Claude Haton, no mean observer of economic conditions says: “En ce
temps et par tout le règne du dit feu roy, faisoit bon vivre en France,
et estoient toutes denrées et marchandises à bon marché, excepté
le grain et le vin, qui enchérissoient certaines années plus que
d’aultres, selon la stérilité, et toutesfois esdittes treize années
de son règne n’ont esté que trois ans de cherté de grain et de vin,
et n’a valu le blé froment, en la plus chère des dittes trois années,
que 14 et 15. s. t. le bichet (à la mesure de Provins), et les aultres
grains au prix le prix, et ne duroit telle cherté que trois moys pour
le plus.” A valuable table of prices of food stuffs follows.—Claude
Haton, I, 112, 113.
[20] See De Ruble, “Le traité de Cateau-Cambrésis,” _Revue d’hist.
diplomatique_ (1887), 385, and the more extensive work (1889) with the
same title by this author.

Henry II see _Nég. Tosc._, III, 400.

[23] Throckmorton to the queen, July 18, 1559, _C. S. P. For._, No.
1,009. This information was given to the council and a deputation of
the Parlement, but no official proclamation was made.—D’Aubigné, I,
243, n. 1.

jewels to the new queen, La Planche, 204; Baschet, 494, dispatch of the
Venetian ambassador, July 12, 1559. Cf. Guiffrey, _Lettres inédites de

1864). Hay, _Diane de Poitiers, la grande sénéschale de Normandie,
duchesse de Valentinois_, is a sumptuously illustrated history.

Queen: “The French ... are in fear because of the king of Spain, who
has not as yet restored S. Quentin’s, Ham nor Chastelet, the Spanish
garrisons of which daily make courses into the country as far as Noyon,
about which the governor of Compegny has written to the King, adding
that it were as good to have war as such a peace.” _C. S. P. For._,
July 13, 1559, No. 985, Throckmorton to the Queen: “It is thought
that the treaty already made is void by the French King’s death; ...
that the king of Spain, seeing his advantage and knowing the state of
France better than he did when he made that peace, will either make new
demands, or constrain France to do as he will have them, who would be
loath to break with him again.”
[29] Tavannes, _op. cit._
[30] Jacques d’Alban de St. André, born in the Lyonnais, marshal
1547, favorite of Henry II. He was taken prisoner at the battle of
St. Quentin. After the death of Henry II, fearing prosecution for his
enormous stealings in office, he became the tool of the Guises. See
La Planche, 205, 206; _Livre des marchands_, 438, 439; and especially
Boyvin du Villars, 904 ff., on his administration in Provence.
[31] Brissac was governor of Piedmont under Henry II, where he
sustained the interests of France so energetically that Philip hated
him. The Guises made great efforts to attach him to their party, with
the hope of playing him against the Bourbons and Montmorencys (Paris,
_Négociations_, 73, note). After the peace of Cateau-Cambrésis, the
fortresses of the duke of Savoy were dismantled, to the intense anger
of the latter. Cf. Fillon Collection, 2,654: Letter of July 16, 1560,
to the duchess of Mantua, complaining that the people of Caluz have
revolted against the authority of the marshal Brissac. This hard
feeling probably explains Brissac’s transfer to the government of
Picardy, in January, 1560, to the chagrin of the prince of Condé, who
asked for the place (Varillas, _Hist. de François II_, II, 35; De Thou,
