Description

King of France (born 1551), the son of Henry II and Catherine de Medici, who reigned from 1574 until his assassination in 1589. Vellum manuscript DS, in France, signed “Henry,” one page, 16.5 x 8.25, November 1580. Royal payment warrant instructing the royal treasury (Trésoriers de l'Épargne) to pay out a sum of money. In very good to fine condition, with overall wrinkling, a small hole, and fading to the signature, which remains fully legible.

From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
