[Footnote 18: It is strange that La Marche does not make more of this scene if he were really there. His sole statement is: "The duke remained dead on the field of battle, stretched out like the poorest man in the world and I was taken and others." iii., 240.] [Footnote 19: _La déconfiture de Monseigneur de Bourgogne faite par Monseigneur de Lorraine_. Comines-Lenglet, iii., 493. This brief account was drawn up evidently before the duke's burial was known by the writer. It may have been written solely to please Louis XI. Still there is a simplicity about it that holds the attention, in spite of the fact that the story is not accepted by critical historians.] [Footnote 20: La Marche, iii., 240.] [Footnote 21: Comines v., ch. x.] [Footnote 22: _Lettres_ vi., p. 111.] [Footnote 23: Renan, _Qu'est ce qu'une nation_.] BIBLIOGRAPHY There is an enormous mass of literature bearing upon the later years of Philip of Burgundy and the brief career of Charles the Bold. Fairly adequate bibliographies can be found in Pirenne and Molinier (see list). The following list contains the full titles of the chief works to which direct reference is made in the text but falls far short of a complete description of the matter, contemporaneous or critical, which has coloured the treatment of the subject. When extracts have been taken from matter quoted by other writers the reference is to the later books only. _Archives curieuses de l'histoire de France_. Vol. i. (Paris, 1834.)
