He also wrote, under the Spanish king's approval, a work on the education of princes which some French readers felt encouraged the killing of despots. "ÒThe book certainly contained a misconstrued observation in favour of the assassination of Henry III of France, and defended, though with many restrictions and precautions, the disposition and killing of a tyrant.
