[Footnote 38: One of the rights of the sovereigns of Burgundy was known by this name. The sovereign had the power of sending one soldier incapacitated by war to each abbey in the County, and the authorities of the abbey were bound to make him a prebendary for life. In 1602, after the siege of Ostend, the Archduke Albert exercised this right in favour of his wounded soldiers, forcing lay-prebendaries upon almost all the abbeys of the County of Burgundy. The Archduchess Isabella attempted to quarter such a prebendary upon the Abbey of Migette, a house of nuns, but the inmates successfully refused to receive the warrior among them (Dunod, _Hist. de l'Église de Besançon_, i. 367). For the similar right in the kingdom of France, see Pasquier, _Recherches de la France_, l. xii. p. 37. Louis XIV. did not exercise this right after his conquest of the Franche Comté, perhaps because the Hôtel des Invalides, to which the Church was so large a contributor, met all his wants.] [Footnote 39: '_Quand on veut du poisson, il se faut mouiller_;' referring probably to the method of taking trout practised in the Ormont valley, the habitat of the purest form of the patois. A man wades in the Grand' Eau, with a torch in one hand to draw the fish to the top, and a sword in the other to kill them when they arrive there; a second man wading behind with a bag, to pick up the pieces.] [Footnote 40: 'Swift-foot Almond, and land-louping Braan.'] [Footnote 41: The sentry-box is omitted in the accompanying illustration.] [Footnote 42: Believed to be derived from _Collis Dianæ_. Dunod found that _Chaudonne_ was an early form of the name, and so preferred _Collis Dominarum_, with reference to the house of nuns placed there.] [Footnote 43: Schmidt was not without the support of example in the indulgence of his warlike tastes. Thirty-eight years before, the religious took so active a part in the defence of Dôle against Louis XIII., that the Capuchin Father d'Iche had the direction of the artillery; and when an officer of the enemy had seized the Brother Claude by the cowl, the Father Barnabas made the officer loose his hold by slaying him with a demi-pique. When Arbois was besieged by Henry IV., the Sieur Chanoine Pécauld is specially mentioned as proving himself a _bon harquebouzier._] [Footnote 44: There is a painting by Vander Meulen, representing this siege, in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.] [Footnote 45: The Church of S. Philibert, in Dijon, now a forage magazine, has an inscription let into the wall almost ludicrously out of keeping with the present desecrated state of the building,--_Dilexi Domine Decorem Domus tuæ_, 1648.] [Footnote 46: 'Qu'on les laisse pour grain!']
