This edition fills a notable gap in our knowledge of Anglo-French
relations in the early Elizabethan period. During the 1560s, the
reports of French ambassadors are only preserved in fragments and
it was until recently believed that nothing survived of the reports
of Michel de Seure, ambassador from February 1560 to February 1562.
Collected here, these shed light on the difficulties of negotiating
with Elizabeth I, her preoccupations in 1560-1 and French opinions
on her policy. Appendices include documents detailing de Seure's
dealings with the Scottish regent, Mary of Guise, and his
formulation of propaganda in response to Elizabeth's declarations
concerning Scotland and France. This title sets de Seure's time in
England in the context of his career as a whole, which included
time serving as a naval commander in Scotland and the
Mediterranean, negotiating with the Turks and the Order of Malta,
and a period as ambassador in Portugal.
