text_original: Belli^vre was sent ostensibly in order to interpose on behalf of Charles, for Henrietta Maria assured the French court that the Scots were about to deliver him to the parlia  ment. Though Mazarin pretended to sympathise with the English queen, he never seems to have regarded the Stuarts as friendly to France. To judge, however, from his words in November 1646, he was ready to aid Charles to the best of his ability.
