Description

Folio 150: Harcourt to Rochford. Encloses letter from the king of Sweden for the king, regretting [that he will not be coming to England]. France refused to renew the subsidy treaty and he has left for Sweden, via Brussels, Wesel and a meeting with the king of Prussia. The bishop of Orléans has been exiled. Either the archbishop of Reims or the bishop of Senlis may have the Feuille des Bénéfices. The princes of the blood have sent a memorial to the king protesting at the illegal steps already taken and all irregular measures, which may be taken, arising from the severe treatment of the Parlement. It was signed by all except the comte de la Marche. Aiguillon has gone to his country house. Some important stroke is expected during his absence.
