Capilupi, Camillus
, a native of Mantua, who died
in 1548, made himself famous by a work entitled “The
Stratagems of Charles IX. against the Huguenots,” which
he published in Italian at Rome, 1572, 4to, and a French
translation was printed 1574. He describes the massacre
of St. Bartholomew, and relates some very remarkable particulars respecting the motives and consequences of that
outrage, which very naturally gave offence to the French
court. 2
