197 advisers were sent to forward the marriage negotia- tions. These were Rambouillet and L'Aubespine, who were received by the Queen at Norwich, and satisfied her that Henry III. would give her and his brother a free hand in Flanders and every help in his power if a marriage and alliance could be brought about, but not otherwise ; and another attempt was made to disarm the secret opposition of Leicester to the match by suggesting to him a marriage between himself and a French princess. These n...egotiations went on with varying success during the months of September and October, 1578, and it was publicly announced that Alen9on himself would come in November. Philip never believed in the sincerity of the Queen and consequently told his ambassador that it was "all pastime and would end in smoke " ; but Mendoza, less experienced than his master in Elizabeth's policy, was much perturbed at the prospect He had an interview with the Queen early in October about the pacification of Flanders, and turned the conversation to the subject of her marriage with Alen9on.
