Paris Intelligence of Royal Movements and Scandals
Paris reports the Earl Waldegrave sails to London for Parliament opening while the Grand Prior of France heads to Marseilles to await Infante Don Carlos. Ministers return to Versailles for the King’s arrival from Rambouillet. A runaway cleric and nun pair seek Geneva asylum amid a scandal. A wild girl near Vitry reportedly eats leaves and raw flesh, with a curiously swift gait. News of smallpox, noble deaths, and a royal feast at Mafra with vast meals accompany war talks, journeys, and preparations across France, Spain, and Italy as Don Carlos travels toward Perpignan and Don Antoine, the Prince of Brasil, participates in Lavish ceremonies.
