[322] Angelo di Costanzo mentions the suspicion in his History of Naples; but an author of the second half of the sixteenth century is no authority. That Lorenzo, in a letter to Albino, the Duke of Calabria’s secretary, who entertained the same suspicion (see Fabroni, l. c. ii. 216), rejoices over Alfonso’s success and speaks of cani Turchi, proves as little on the other side.
