I've been completing and uploading updates to some articles that accumulated while coauthoring the paper about Mary, Queen of Scots I reported the other day.
They include a cipher letter of Francis II, husband of Mary, Queen of Scots, addressed to the Bishop of Rennes (now included in "French ciphers during the Reigns of Charles IX and Henry III"). This is the first time I came across a cipher during the short reign of Francis II. (I'm sure there are more in the archives.)
Although it is not deciphered, it uses the same cipher that I reconstructed before from correspondence between the Bishop of Rennes and Catherine de Medicis.
