[460] At Marignano, in 1515.

[461] He was taken prisoner by the Emperor Charles V. at Pavia, in company
with Francis I.; at the battle of Saint Quentin, in 1557; and in 1562, at
the battle of Dreux, by the Huguenots. It was rather hard that the story
should have obtained currency, according to the cure of Meriot, that
Constable Montmorency was shot by a royalist, who saw that he was
purposely allowing himself to be enveloped by the troops of Conde, in
order that he might be taken prisoner, "comme telle avoit ja este sa
coustume en deux batailles!" Mem. de Claude Haton, i. 458.

[462] Even Henry of Navarre, in a letter of July 12, 1569, published by
Prince Galitzin (Lettres inedites de Henry IV., Paris, 1860, pp. 4-11)
states that he is unable to say whether it was Stuart, "pour n'en scavoir
rien;" but asserts that "il est hors de doubte et assez commung qu'il fut
blesse en pleine bataille et combattant, et non de sang froid."

[464] "La mort dudit connestable fut plaincte de peu de gens du party des
catholicques, a cause de la huguenotterie de l'admiral, du card. de
Chastillon, et d'Andelot, ses nepveux, qui estoient, apres le Prince de
Conde, chefz des rebelles huguenotz francoys et des plus meschant; et
avoient plusieurs personnes ceste oppinion du connestable, qu'il les eust
bien retirez de ceste rebellion s'il eust voulu, attendu que tous avoient
este avancez en leurs estatz par le feu roy Henry, par son moyen." Claude

[466] This expose, committed to writing by the elector palatine's request,
and translated for Frederick's convenience into German, is published by
Prof. A. Kluckholn, in a monograph read before the Bavarian Academy of
Sciences: "Zur Geschichte des angeblichen Buendnisses von Bayonne, nebst
einem Originalbericht ueber die Ursachen des zweiten Religionskriegs in
Frankreich." (Abhandlungen, iii. Cl., xi. Bd., i. Abth.) Munich, 1868. The
Huguenot envoys were Chastelier Pourtaut de Latour and Francour. The
document is probably from the pen of the former (p. 13).
