QUOTE: To Denis de Fecamp, Grand Duke of Burgundy
We are sorry for any inconvenience the Swedish troops produced on the occasion of the searching party in Provence and assure Your Majesty that there is no way the English army burned down churches.
If that has happened I'm sure it was Swedish troops giving a hand, the church is only a building like any other for them.
As soon as we received your note of protest, James was instructed to withdraw.
I hope that we prove our good intentions and there isn't any reason of conflict between Burgundy and England, as two good catholic nations, because we haven't any control over the Swedish troops, they are not our mercenaries and they act on their own.
We also deplore the anathema on the ex-pope Gregory, my mother and your uncle were acting very much in his support. Possibly the next pope will clarify that aspect.
Best wishes,
Elizabeth I, Queen of England
