"But I am not content that you should die, for I wish you to serve me once more, this time as a messenger to my brother, the Duke of Anjou, who is at Angers; to M. Bussy d'Amboise, who is with him; and to my husband, the King of Navarre, who is at Nerac, in Gascony. Thus it is to my own interest to procure your safe escape from Paris.
And the husband was well content, and thanked Madame d'Amboise, begging her to say nothing of this arrangement. During this time the good old Braguelongne had been growling and saying to himself, "Old ha, ha! old ho, ho!
Amidst these vain attempts at ecclesiastical influence the war was continued with passionateness on the part of Julius II., with hesitation on the part of Louis XII., and with some disquietude on the part of the French commanders, although with their wonted bravery and loyalty. Chaumont d'Amboise, the cardinal's nephew, held the command-in-chief in the king's army.
He must not know that I have spoken to you." "But a man is not to be killed without reason." But the real cause ought to be known to both antagonists." "I shall not discuss what ought or ought not to be. I ask you, will you fight this man and try to kill him? I request nothing unusual, men are killed every day in duels. You are a good swordsman; Bussy d'Amboise himself has said so.
In order to consume as much time as I could, and to wear out the enemy's patience without putting my own to the test, I decided to go first to Angers, deliver Marguerite's letters to Monsieur and Bussy d'Amboise, and then make for La Tournoire.

He was Georges d'Amboise, created a cardinal by Alexander VI. Born 1460, died 1510.

Do you accept?" "Certainly; M. de Bussy does me much honor." "Your day and hour, M. le Comte?" "To-morrow morning at seven o'clock."
When he became pope, he had three objects: to recover and extend the temporal possessions of the papacy, to exercise to the full his spiritual power, and to drive the foreigner from Italy. He was not incapable of doubling and artifice. In order to rise he had flattered Louis XII. and Cardinal d'Amboise with the hope that the king's minister would become the head of Christendom.
"One adversary turns out to have a damaged arm, which would make it a disgrace to kill him, and the other puts me under obligation for my life. But, M. de Quelus, your arm will recover." "I hope so, if for only one reason," replied Quelus. Bussy d'Amboise then bowed to me, and strode on his way. He was joined at the next crossing of streets by four lackeys, who had been waiting in shadow.
"'Stop! he thundered. 'Release the lady, or fear the vengeance of Heaven! "The Templar's visor was up, and as the glove struck him, his face grew black with rage.
