Excerpt from The Life of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots

Henry was not disheartened he demanded an interview Of his nephew, and designated the city of York as the place of meeting. But James knew the Punic faith of his uncle, and took care not to endanger his personal safety: he replied that he much desired an interview, provided it took place in France, in the presence of Francis I., which proposition Henry on his part rejected. Negotiations were broken Off, and James ex pressed himself for France. The hand of Mary Of Bourbon, a French princess, was offered him but before concluding the match he wished to see her, and under pretence Of joining Francis, who was driving the Imperialists from Provence, whither they had penetrated, he repaired to Di eppe, saw his intended, and, not finding her to his taste, rapidly pursued his route towards Lyons. He there met Francis, who brought him to Paris. In the midst Of the fetes and pleasures with which Francis surrounded him, James entirely forgot Mary of Bourbon.
