Using Bargrave
Bargrave is a source of doubtful reliability. Robertson, in his introduction to Bargrave (pp. xxiii-xxvii) points out that Bargrave used several of the works of Gregorio Leti, who himself is an author of doubtful reliability. Leti had been a Catholic, but apostasized and became a Calvinist in Geneva; he went to Paris, where he became a propaganda agent in Louis XIV's diplomatic war against the Papacy. --Vicedomino (talk) 21:16, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
