"My name is Miguel José Maria Federico Noriaga Farrel." "We'll see the judges first, Señor Farrel." "By all means." "You bet we will. The judges smell a rat, already.

I will at present merely add that I commend myself and offer my services to you at all times. YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW LUCRETIA, Duchess of Ferrara. FERRARA, the last of March, 1519. The Marchese was succeeded by his eldest son, Federico. In 1530 the Emperor Charles V created him first Duke of Mantua. The following year he married Margherita di Montferrat.

Gabriele Tassino, to ask for our daughter Madonna Isabella on behalf of Signor Lodovico.
