CAPILLANA,

Capillana was a Peruvian princess, who, having become widow very young, retired from the court to the country, at about the time that Pig arro appeared on the coast. Capillana received kindly the men he sent to reconnoitre, and expressed desire to see the general. Pizarro came, and an attachment soon sprang up be- tween them. He endeavored to con- vert while studying the Spanish lan- guage, however, that she became a Christian. On the death of Pizarro, in 1541, she retired again to her resi- dence in the country.

CIOTIIDE,

Cloti1de, the. unfortunate queen of the Goths, was the daughter of Clovis and Clotilde of France. She married Amalaric, who was an Arian, while she was a pious Catholic. She was so persecuted by her subjects for her faith that her life was in danger, while her husband united with her foes in abusing her. She at last ap- piled to the three brothers, who then governed the divided kingdom of the Franks, sending to Chilperic, King of Paris, her oldest brother, a handker- chief saturated with the blood drawn from her by the blows of her barbar- ous husband. Her brothers took up arms to revenge her, and in this bloody war the cruel Amalaric was slain. Clotilde returned to her native France, and died soon after, about 535.
