French royal manifesto

  • NLW MS 5555D
  • File
  • 16 cent.

One leaf (which appears to have been used at one time in the binding of a volume) of a document which would seem to be a copy of a manifesto by a French king - possibly Louis XIII or Henri IV - at the conclusion of a military campaign - possibly one of the French religious wars - in which he stresses his lack of funds with which to pay his Swiss mercenaries, repair fortifications and maintain his household, with notes by Egerton B. Phillimore (1856-1937).
