iyAubignS, Hist. Universelle, 1. 1, liv. 5.
JEANNE D'ALBRET. 145 her son to Tonnay-Charente. There she bade fare- well to the prince, who departed to join the army.
With her own hands, Jeanne invested her son with that armour, which during his eventful and glorious career, Henry was destined never to lay aside. The woman and the heroine shone in the few emphatic words with which she dismissed him to fight for the great cause ; to maintain which, she was content to sacrifice dignities, and life ...itself. When some indi- vidual expressed astonishment; that she could thus witness, with unshaken fortitude, the departure of the prince, Jeanne replied, " The felicity and glory of promoting so holy a cause, enables me to surmount the emotions of my sex ; while it has inspired my noble son with courage to rise above his age." From Tonnay-Charente, the queen journeyed to Niort, to confer with Cond6 on the finances of the confederated princes. Jeanne devoted the treasure which she had conveyed from Nerac, to the purposes of the war ; she also sold jewels of great value, and gave the money to replenish the exchequer of the princes.
