Catherine holds the pair in a leash under Charles IX., and she will hold them in future under Henri III. God grant that Henri may not prove ungrateful." "How so?" "His mother is doing too much for him." "Hush! what noise is that I hear in the rue Saint-Honore?" cried the Grand-master.
How far they had carried it, here is one symptom that may teach us. In the year 1330, one Werner von Orseln was Grand-master of these Ritters. Parricide worse, a great deal, than that at the Ford of Reuss upon one-eyed Albert.
"There is not a single prince of the blood present," said another. "The chancellor and Monsieur de Tournon looked anxious," remarked a third. "The grand-master sent word to the keeper of the seals to be sure not to miss this Council; therefore you may be certain they will issue letters-patent."

Antoine de Roquelaure, Seigneur de Roquelaure in Armagnac, de Guadoux, etc., marshal of France, grand-master of the King's wardrobe, knight of the Orders of St. Michael and the Holy Ghost, perpetual mayor of Bordeaux, etc., was the younger son of Geraud Roquelaure, and the representative of an illustrious house.
Albert, the brother of the Elector of Brandenburg, and cousin of the Grand-Master of the Teutonic Order in Prussia, stood in 1517, though only twenty-seven years old, already at the head of those two great ecclesiastical provinces of Germany; Wittenberg also belonged to his Magdeburg diocese.
