October 26, 1882 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information related to Queen Elizabeth. The Prince of Condé thought first of a marriage between Elizabeth and Charles IX, Charles being only fourteen years old, and Elizabeth already more than thirty. Condé spoke of the subject to the English Ambassador, who objected the difference of ages. A few months afterward, when peace was signed with England after the retaking of Havre, Catherine de Médicis adopted, or seemed to adopt, Condé's project. She probably wished to separate Elizabeth from the French Protestants, who looked upon the Queen of England as a natural ally.
