The .ix. of May in the yeare next enſuing, the Lord D'obigny, and the
preſident of Tholous, came from Lewes the
Frenche king as Ambaſ|ſadors, to declare vnto king Iames, that he ment to
matche his eldeſt daughter in maryage wyth Frances de Vallois Dolphin of Vien
and Duke of Angoleſme, notwithſtanding that Charles K. of Caſtel that was after
Emperor, made ſuite for hir. Bycauſe therefore he ment not to conclude any
thing in ſuche a weightie matter withoute conſent of his confederates, of which
he eſteemed king Iames as chiefe: he required him of his ad|uiſe and counſell
therein, who after aduiſement taken, made anſwere,The kings
anſwere. that albeit the King of France had ſufficient Counſell about
him, yet ſith he had deſired his aduiſe, he would friendly giue the ſame: which
was, that he ſhould rather marie his daughter within his owne Realme, vnto
ſuche one as ſhoulde ſucceede him, than to beſtowe hir vpon any forrayne
Prince, ſithe o|therwiſe ſome clayme myght bee made in tyme comming vnto the
Crowne by ſuche as ſhoulde match with hir. And ſo with this anſwere the
preſident of Tholous departed, reporting ye ſame at his cõming home vnto the
French king, who thervpon folowed his own determination therin, confirmed and
allowed thus by his confederate the king of Scotland.
