HENRI II (1563-1624), duke of Lorraine (1608), son of Charles III, nicknamed "le Bon". Letter signed with an autograph line to "Monsieur l'archevesque de Rhodes nonce de Sa Saincteté en Cour de France". 1 p. in-folio. Nancy, July 26, 1619. Address on the back with closing flap and small armorial wax seal. Important letter about the abbey of Écurey, in Saulx (Meuse), an ancient Cistercian abbey founded in the 12th century, "which is located in the country of obedience of which you have already heard". "I assure myself that you will now take pleasure in rendering your services necessary for the handling of the rights of the Holy See []. I challenge you, therefore, sir, to make them aware of the contrary, because if you allow this authority of the Holy See to be undermined, it will go further, and in such a way that, with regret, it is necessary to put an end to the violent pursuit of the Marquis of Nancys by the reason of the conference granted by His Majesty [].
