AUTHORITIES.--A number of contemporary documents relating to the
Guises are included by L. Cimber and F. Danjou in their _Archives
curieuses de l'histoire de France_ (Paris, 1834, &c.). Vol. iii.
contains a soldier's diary of the siege of Metz, first published in
Italian (Lyons, 1553), accounts of the sieges of Calais (Tours, 1558).
of Thionville (Paris, 1558); vol. iv. an account of the tumult of
Amboise from the _Memoires_ of Conde, and four accounts of the affair
of Vassy; vol. v. four accounts of the battle of Dreux, one dictated
by Guise, and accounts of the murder of Guise; vol. xi. accounts of
the Parisian revolution of 1558; and vol. xii. numerous pamphlets and
pieces dealing with the murder of Henry of Guise and his brother. An
account of the murder of Guise and of the subsequent measures taken by
Mayenne, which was supplied by the Venetian ambassador, G. Mocenigo,
to his government, is printed by H. Brown in the _Eng. Hist. Rev._
(April 1895). For the foreign policy of the Guises, and especially
their relations with Scotland, there is abundant material in the
English _Calendar of State Papers_ of Queen Elizabeth (Foreign Series)
and in the correspondence of Cardinal Granvella. The memoirs of
Francis, duke of Guise, covering the years 1547 to 1563, were
published by Michel and Poujoulat in series 1, vol. iv. of their
_Coll. de memoires_. Among contemporary memoirs see especially those
of the prince of Conde, of Blaise de Monluc and of Gaspard de
Saulx-Tavannes. See also _La Vie de F. de Lorraine, duc de Guise_
(Paris, 1681), by J. B. H. du Trousset de Valincourt; A. de Ruble,
_L'Assassinat de F. de Lorraine, duc de Guise_ (1897), where there is
a list of the MS. sources available for a history of the house; R. de
Bouille, _Hist. des ducs de Guise_ (4 vols., 1849); H. Forneron, _Les
Guise et leur epoque_ (2 vols., 1887).
