The day before the town was taken, Antony, King of Navarre, having retired to the trenches on a summons which the mightiest have to obey, received the shot of a harquebus in his left shoulder. He was carried away to con- fession and sacrament ; caused the book of Job to be read to him for his comfort ; publicly declared that if he recovered he would adopt the Reformed opinions ; and turned his back upon a Jacobin before he died. His wife, Jeanne d'Albret, had left him to act with the Catholics ...in Paris, while she had herself retired to maintain Reformed opinions, and educate in them her son Henry, who be* came afterwards King Henry IV. So Antony, King of Navarre, was gathered to his fathers, and bequeathed to other Navarres hki royal state and income of about six thousand a year. There is another incident connected with the siege of Rouen, told by two or three contemporary writers, which furnishes an odd illustration of the chances and changes to which mortal life was subject in those days, when murder was every man's right-hand neighbour.
