[Footnote 926: "As touching the occurrents of this Court, it may please
your Majesty to be advertised, that the King of Navarre being on his way
to this Court, hath had letters, as I am informed, written unto him, of
great good opinion conceived of him by this King, with all other kind of
courtesies, to cause him to repair thither." Despatch of Sir Nicholas
Throkmorton, Orleans, Nov. 17, 1560, Hardwick, State Papers, i. 138.]

[Footnote 927: The portrait of this personage is painted in no
flattering colors by Calvin in two letters, to Sulcer, Oct. 1, 1560
("whose mind is more lumpish than a log, unless when it is a little
quickened by wine"), and to Bullinger, of the same date ("one whom you
might easily mistake for a cask or a flagon, so little has he the shape
of a human being"). Bonnet, Eng. tr., iv. 131-135.]

[Footnote 928: The despatches that passed between the court and the
French ambassador in Spain reveal the general alarm. Oct. 4th, Cardinal
Lorraine expects Navarre and Conde within the first half of the month,
"dont je suis fort ayse." Oct. 5th, Francis writes that, within two
days, he has heard that they intend carrying out their enterprise. Oct.
9th, the secretary of state complains of "fresh alarm daily." Negoc.
sous Francois II., 604-607, 610, 650. Others were, in the end, as much
astounded as the Guises at Navarre's pacific attitude. Throkmorton,
writing to the privy council that this king was looked for shortly at
Orleans, adds that all bruits of trouble by him were clean appeased,
_which caused great marvel_. Despatch to privy council, Paris, Oct. 24,
1560, State Paper Office.]

[Footnote 929: Letter of Bishop of Limoges to the Cardinal of Lorraine,
Sept. 26, 1560, _apud_ Negotiations sous Francois II., 562: "Je vous
supplie de croire que le roy et mes seigneurs de son conseil [_i. e._,
Francis and the Guises] ne feront rien pour extirper un tel mal qui ne
soit icy [in Spain] bien pris et receu _a_ _l'endroict de qui que ce
soit_ [sc. Navarre and Conde]: tant ceux-cy craignent qu'il y ait
changement en notre religion et estat." Cf. also pp. 551, 552.]
