ertently calls him
(Dutch Republic, ii. 261), but a very prominent and successful negotiator,
whose eulogy M. de Thou, an intimate friend, has pronounced in the 122d
book of his history (ix. 285). Henry, the first Count of Schomberg made
Marshal of France, was not born until 1583.

[626] It was generally believed that Schomberg, gaining access to the
Germans through one of the principal officers, to whom he was related, was
the occasion of their disaffection. Jean de Serres, iii. 298. "Il mesnagea
si bien la plus part des capitaines," says Agrippa d'Aubigne, i. 340, "que
quand le Prince leur parla d'aller joindre le Prince de Conde, _il les
trouva tous bons theologiens et mauvais partisans_; discourans de la
justice des armes, sans oublier le droit des rois et les affaires qu'ils
avoient en leur pais. Schomberg s'en revint aiant receu quelques injures
par Genlis."

[630] M. Froude falls into a very natural error, in calling him (History
of England, Am. edit., ix. 334) "the _younger_ Chatillon." With the
exception of a brother who died in early youth, he was the oldest of the
family; but his quiet and more sluggish character inclined him to accept
the cardinal's hat, when offered to him by his uncle, the constable; and,
rich with the revenues of bishoprics and abbeys, he subsequently renounced
all his rights as eldest son to his brother Gaspard. Froude is, however,
in good company. Even the usually accurate Tytler-Fraser says of Cardinal
Chatillon: "This high-born ecclesiastic was in most things the reverse of
his _elder_ brother D'Andelot." England under Edward VI. and Mary, i. 36.

[631] Lodged by Elizabeth in Sion House, not far from Hampton Court, he
was accorded more honor than usually fell to the lot of an envoy of
royalty. Never, says Florimond de Raemond, did the queen meet him but she
greeted him with a kiss, and it became a popular saying that Conde's
ambassador was a much more important personage
