Consilium: in lite successionis in regnum Navarrae post mortem Gastonis regis . Fol. 261r is a title page: Pro Regno Navarre. Mortuo primogenito non succedit ei soror, sed frater patris. Ad idem: Consilium Cacialupi quod est in libro diversorum consiliorum, fol. xxxiii. The Consilium originated after the appointment of Felinus Sandeus to the Rota (1487_04_2, see below, fol. 270r), but before the Rota-Auditor Johannes Antonius de sancto Georgio (then Bishop of Alessandria) was transferred to the episcopal see of Parma (1499 Sept. 6). He later became Cardinal (in 1493), and died in 1509 March 14.

The issue of succession to the Kingdom of Navarra may have re-arisen when Pope Julius II (1503-1513) sided with King Fernando II de Aragón (widower of Queen Isabel de Castilla) who conquered Navarra in 1512, in order to unite Spain under one rule. The 'Gastón' mentioned in the Consilium (here titled 'rex') was Gastón IV de Foix (1423-1472), husband of Eleonor infanta de Navarra y Aragón (1426-1479). She waged war against her siblings and thus de facto governed the Kingdom, but she was only stiled "Queen" in the last fifteen days of her life (in 1479)
