Excerpt from The Life of Marguerite D'angoulême, Queen of Navarre, Duchesse D'alençon and De Berry, Sister of Francis I, King of France, Vol. 1 of 2: From Numerous Unpublished Sources, Including Ms. Documents in the Bibliothèque Imperiale, and the Archives Du Royaume De France, and Also the Private Correspondence of Queen Marguerite With Francis I, Etc The author has assured herself of the strictest historical accuracy: and none of the authorities named at the foot of her pages have been quoted without previous examination. In every instance, the number of the volume, and the page in which the passage cited is to be found, has not been given; but as the narrative extends only from the year 1492 to 1549, an easy reference to that era in the works quoted, will verify any of the author's statements. The name and the number of the folios in quotations from manuscript authorities, have been scrupulously indicated.
