Henri supplied him with letters of introduction to the French ambassador in London, Michel de Castelnau de la Mauvissiere.

This excellent man, who was then attempting to negotiate the marriage of Elizabeth with the Duke of Anjou, received Bruno into his own family as one of the gentlemen of his suite.

Under his roof the wandering scholar enjoyed a quiet home during the two years which he passed in England--years that were undoubtedly the happiest, as they were the most industrious, of his checkered life.

It is somewhat strange that Bruno left no trace of his English visit in contemporary literature.

Seven of his most important works were printed in London, though they bore the impress of Paris and Venice--for the very characteristic reason that English people only cared for foreign publications.
