Chapter XXXIII
THE FOREST OF VINCENNES. According to the order given by Charles IX., Henry was conducted that same evening to Vincennes. Such was the name given at that time to the famous castle of which to-day only a fragment remains, colossal enough, however, to give an idea of its past grandeur. The trip was made in a litter, on either side of which walked four guards. Monsieur de Nancey, bearing the order which was to open to Henry the door of the protecting abode, walked first.
