Beatrice of Portugal, Duchess of Savoy through her marriage to Charles II, is presented with a castle

The Duchess of Savoy, Beatrice, acts as the interpreter for her husband, Charles II, who orders the Sieur de Longecombe to hand over a castle [perhaps that of Vercelli].

"The Duchess of Savoy. Dearest and most beloved, we have received your letter with the packet addressed to my lord [the Duke of Savoy], which we immediately sent to him. He replies to the previous ones, as you will see from the letters we are sending you enclosed herewith. And from what he writes to us, he understands that the governor's son should hand over the castle to you, as he will see from the letter he wrote to him. You have given us no more pleasure than to inform you of the news, asking that you may hear it continually. Please keep us informed, and follow up on everything my lord has entrusted to you, as he did, and we have our trust in you. We say to God, who has dearest and well loved you, in His holy care." Signature "Britiz".

Address on the back: "To our very dear and beloved Mr. de Longecombe, lieutenant for Monseigneur della de [doyer ??]".

Extremely rare signature.
