		Another possibility, introduced in 1587, was Henri of Navarre's sister Catherine de Bourbon, but the future Henri IV wanted military support in his struggle for the French throne, which James could not or would not give, especially as Henri could not afford a generous dowry.
		The baptism of Prince Henry Frederick (1594—1612) was celebrated with banquets, masques, and tilts and occasioned a levy of £100,000 Scots (an increase of 800 per cent on that levied for James's own baptism).
		Ironically, a reaction to the appalling news of the assassination in May of Henri IV of France also helped belatedly to gain James the appreciation he had sought, and by the time parliament was prorogued in July, he was a fair way towards obtaining a substantial subsidy and £200,000 a year.
