Page 455, note (3).] — The passage between asterisks from the edition of 1570 is retained, partly for the purpose of showing that the following transla- tion was not made by Foxe himself, and partly for the sake of the exjjression "collected and translated," which much more accurately describes the pei-- formance than " faithfully translated." The work to which Foxe refers is intituled " Nicolai Cisneri de Frederico II. Imperafore Oratio, habita in celebri Heidelbergensium Academid in promotione aliquot doctorum Juris, anno salutis humanee MDLXII, mense Augusto." It was printed at Basil, 4to, 1505, and again (more correctly) at Strasburg, 12mo, 16u8. Both tiiese editions are in the British Museum. Foxe's translation has been collated with the original; many passages of which have been so erroneously or obscurely rendered by P'oxe's translator, that it has been found necessary to re-translate or correct them ; in doing which, the present editor has availed himself of Mr. Maitland's criticisms and translations.
Respecting Cisner himself, Struvius in his BibJiotheca Scriptorum Rerum Gcrmanicarmn, §33, calls him " Assessorem Judicii Cameralis, rerum Ger- manicarumperitissimnm ;" and at § 71, Struvius informs us that his works were collected and published by Quirinus Renter, Francfort, 1658. With respect to the particular production of his pen, which Foxe here makes use of, Struvius bears the following testimony : — '• Elegans ea est oratio de Frederico 11. quam Nicolaus Cisnerus composuit, et cpia,' cum iis de Othoiie III. et Coiiradino edita Argentorati 1608, et inter Opuscula Cisneri historica junctim edita, prteclaras de eorum temporum statu sententias habet." (Bibiioth. Script. Iler. Germ. § 78.) He adds at § 71, that in his Oration de Othone III. "contra Onuphrium Panvinium, Romano Pontifici Italisque jus in Electionc Imp.

Page 450, note (1).] — The statement in t!ie text respecting the age of Con- stantia when Frederic was born, is a common but incorrect statement, being, ])robably, at least ten years beyond the trutli. For CJodfrey of Viterbo, a con- temporary writer, says that she was a posthumous child of Roger I. (who died Feb. 2Gth, a. d. ll.'il), and was married at tliirty years of age, in a. d. 1184. Henry \'I. died Sept. 28ih, a. d. 1197, or (as some say) early in a.d. 1198: so that there were not above forty-four years between her father's and her Imsband's death, and tlie j)robability is, that when Frederic was born, Dec. 2nih A.D. 1191, she was about foitj' years old.

Page 457, note (3).] — Cisner says that Frederic " vigesimum agebat annum," which, however, cannot be correct, and in the text " eighteenth " is substituted. Frederic was born at Jessi, in Anconn, Dec. 2Gth, a.d. 1191: elected King of the Romans, a. d. 1196 : again, soon after his father's death : and again by the Diet of Bamberg, a. d. 1211 : crowned at the Diet of Mentz, Dec.
