Oct. 29. Original Despatch, Venetian Archives. 608. Giovanni Francesco Morosini, Venetian Ambassador in France, to the Signory.
An Ambassador from England has arrived to-day at this Court; he is a very distinguished person, and has come to congratulate his Majesty upon succeeding to the kingdom, and also to ascertain whether his Majesty will continue to observe the league and confederation with his Queen, according to the precedent of the late King. The Ambassador has come with about fifty horses, and he will be lodged and entertained at the expense of his Majesty, because this is the custom also in England with regard to Ambassadors Extraordinary there from this Crown.
Lyons, 29th October 1574.
