Miscellaneous 1504

1504. March 27. Sanuto Diaries, v. v. p. 129. 1332. Antonio Giustinian, Venetian Ambassador at Rome, to the Signory.
Dated 22nd March.
Had been with the Pope (Julius II.), who commenced speaking to him about the English ambassadors, who were coming to tender him obedience. They were also bringing the Garter, a cincture worn below the knee, with gold springes, (fn. 1) for presentation to the Duke of Urbino, whose father was invested with it of yore; (fn. 2) and it is a great honour to have it.
[Extract. Italian.]
