Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Diplomatic Correspondence of Jean De Montereul and the Brothers De Bellievre, Vol. 1 of 2: French Ambassadors in England and Scotland 1645-48 The correspondence here reproduced from the original ciphered despatches in the archives of the French Foreign Office relates to the efforts made by France under the direction of Mazarin to assist King Charles I. during the close of the Civil War in Great Britain. More than one effort was made by France about this time, in virtue of the old alliance between that kingdom and Scotland, to restrain the Scots and prevent them from co-operating with the English against their king. In the beginning of the year 1643, the Earl of Lothian was sent on a mission from Scotland to France. His instructions were drawn up in the king´s name, and their ostensible object at least was to obtain redress for alleged encroachments that had been made on the privileges of Scots resident in France. He returned to Scotland in the autumn of the same year, when a French envoy, M. de Boisivon, was sent from France to Scotland while the Scots were busily engaged in raising an army for the purpose of entering England in order to assist the English Parliament against the king. This latter seems to have been sent in haste at this juncture, without any written or definite instructions, beside that of demanding the release of the Earl of Antrim, whom the king having sent to obtain assistance from Ireland, had been captured by the Scottish army under Munro in Ulster, and detained prisoner at Carrickfergus.
