[347] Of solicitude on this score, the only evidence I have come across is
furnished by the following passage of one of the "Occurrences in France,"
under date of April 11, 1565, sent to the English Government. "Orders are
also taken in the court that no gentleman shall talk with the queen's
maids, except it is in the queen's presence, or in that of Madame la

kneel by her, but not lie long, as the fashion was in this court." State

[350] Ibid., _ubi supra_. There are no similar cases of assassination on
the part of Huguenots at this period. That of Charry at court seems to
have resulted partly from revenge for personal wrongs, partly from
mistaken devotion on the part of one of D'Andelot's followers to his
master's interests. See Languet, letter of Feb. 3, 1564, Epist. secr., ii.
