| Has heard of the favour and goodwill shown to Englishmen travelling through his territory, and especially of the extraordinary honour conferred on the King's well-beloved Reynold Chicheley, who continues to frequent his University of Ferrara. For this he is grateful to his Excellency, not merely on account of Reynold, but because Reynold's great uncle (magnus ei patruus), the Archbishop of Canterbury, (fn. 1) christened him the King. He also esteems Reynold for his natural application to classical studies (honestissimarum rerum studiis), and earnestly hopes he will continue in favour with the Marquis, to whom he recommends him warmly. | |
