Herewith, he inueied against Charles the Dolphin, being the head and
onelie mainteiner of all the ciuill discord, whose wicked nature, and
cruell disposition, did well appeare in the murther of the late duke of
Burgognie. He therefore willed them, according to their dutie, oth, and
agréement, to stand with him, and helpe to reduce such a stubborne and
disloiall sonne vnto the obeisance of his father king Charles, that he
might shew himselfe conformable vnto such orders and decrées, as they
had taken, appointed, and agréed vpon: and for his part, he promised
to worship, loue, and honor his father in law the said K. Charles, in
place of his owne father, according to the true mening of this concord
and agréement, trusting the same to be a peace finall.
[Sidenote: It was rendered vp the tenth of Iune.]
[Sidenote: _Titus Liuius_ Sens & M[=o]streau beseiged and taken.]
[Sidenote: The siege was laid the 16 of Iune.]
And to conclude, he promised, that if they shewed themselues true and
loiall to him, according to the same agréement; the Ocean sea should
sooner ceasse to flow, and the bright sunne lose his light, than he
would desist from dooing that which became a prince to doo to his
subiect, or a father to his naturall child. When he had thus persuaded
the nobilitie, and dispatched his businesse at Troies, he with all his
armie, hauing with him the French king, and the duke of Burgognie,
departed from thence the fourth of Iune; and vpon the seauenth daie of
the same moneth, came before the towne of Sens in Burgognie, which held
on the Dolphins part: but after foure daies siege, it was yéelded vnto
the king, and there he made capteine, the lord Genuille. From thence,
he remooued to Monstreau ou fault Yonne, which towne was taken on the
thrée and twentith daie of Iune, by assault, so that manie of the
Dolphins part were apprehended, before they could get to the castell.
