[Pope Pius iv. to Queen Mary. 1 July 1561.
To our most dear daughter in Christ, Mary, the widowed Queen of the
French.
Most dear daughter in Christ, health and Apostolic Benediction !
We have sent our dear son Hippolito, Cardinal of Ferrara, as legate for
ourselves, and the Apostolic See, in order that he in our stead may render
those services to the most Christian king, and to the illustrious nation of
the French, which at such a time the state of affairs there requires, and
which beseem our office and our great love for that king and those
peoples. This he will tell you. He will visit your Majesty, greet you
assiduously with messages from us, and bestow on you the apostolic
benediction, as on a queen whom we know to have ever been most
Catholic and devoted to this holy See, and as on one who, we doubt not,
will ever persevere constantly in her pristine piety and observance towards
this See. As such your Majesty is especially beloved by us in the Lord
like a daughter, and we are ready and always shall be, to [do] what may
conduce to your honour, dignity, and convenience, as the same legate
will explain to you at greater length.
Given at Rome, at St. Peter’s, under the seal of the Fisherman, on the
first day of July 1561, the second of our Pontificate.]
