137 James, duke of York, soon after the death of his first wife declared his conversion to the Cath- ohc religion, and agreed to espouse Maria of the house of Este, whom Louis the fourteenth de- clared an adoptive daughter of France, and of- fered to provide her with a suitable portion. But ■when the messenger brought to Modena the pro- posals of the duke of York, her mother Loura, opposed the match, under the pretence that her daughter, then only fifteen, was too young, and hitended to assume ...the veil, and recommended in her stead the princess Honoria, sister of her late husband Alfonso the fourth.
The young princess, either secretly instigated by her mother, or impelled by devotion, express- ed a determined resolution to enter into a con- vc-nt ; nor was her repugnance overcome, until a letter was procured from the Pope, commending the marriage as highly beneficial to the Roman Catholic religion, and condemning the resolutions of the princess, to persc ver> in assuming the veil, as immoral and criminal.
