Margaret travelled in a splendid litter with gilt pillars, lined with scarlet velvet, and entirely enclosed in glass, which was followed by those of the Princess de la Roche sur Yon, and of Madame de Tournon.

After these came ten ladies of honor on horseback, and six chariots filled with female domestics.

These, with the guards and other attendants, made up the retinue.

On meeting the Queen's litter, Don John sprang from his horse and presented his greetings.

The Queen returned his salutation, in the French fashion, by offering her cheek to his embrace, extending the same favor to the Duke of Aerschot and the Marquis of Havre.
