SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The military alliance in 1543 between the Fran�cois I of France and Sultan S�uleyman the Magnificent aroused condemnation on religious grounds from the Habsburgs and their supporters as an aberration from accepted diplomacy. Relying on contemporary Ottoman and French sources, this text presents the realpolitik of diplomacy with 'infidels'.
