Dear All, Earlier today I was accompanying Dowland's Say love, if ever thou didst find. I remarked to the singer and gamba player, that people today often assume the song refers to Queen Elizabeth. Though not named, she is likely to be the song's she. A similar use of the

Well - I don't know about the rest of it - but the Duc d'Alencon was the youngest son of Catherine de Medici, the wife of Henri II of France. Marie de Medici was the second wife of Henri IV and the mother of Louis XIII. The Duc d'Alencon died in 1584 and he wasn't a Medici grand duke - he was
