الصفحة 187 - Jeanne d'Albret — but she was a woman. It was Coligny who thought for all, worked for all, provided for all. It was Coligny who disciplined the unruly soldiery, trying to maintain among them, even in civil war, the virtues of the Christian life ; only for Coligny would the jealous chiefs work in concert ; to the common sense of Coligny only would the fanatic ministers defer their zeal ; he it was, and none other, whom his party trusted.
