Miscellaneous 1445

1445? Nov. 27. Lettere di Principi Esteri. Archives of Modena.	19. Marguerite [of Anjou,] Queen of England and France, and Lady of Ireland, to the Marchioness of Este [Maria of Aragon].
	The notable and distinguished youth, Reynold Chicheley, lately returned from Italy, whom we hold dear and singularly acceptable by reason of his ability, probity, and superior qualities, narrated to us how honourably and liberally you treated him not long ago, for which we return you the greatest thanks, earnestly requesting you to persevere in your former protection and goodwill towards him, and to hold him as again recommended, giving him entire credence for what he will tell you in our name. We send you by him a little present, viz., to use the native tongue, an ambling hobby (videlicet nauit ut patrio more loquar deambulantem).
	From our royal manor of Eltham (Etrum), 27th November [1445 ?]
	(Signed) Marguerite.
