This is also called the “Fontaine aux Groseilliers”; the Latin name is
  probably intended for Rhamnus, the Buckthorn.

Footnote 122:

  Mid-Lent Sunday, the 4th Sunday in Lent; so-called, because the
  introit for the day begins, “_Laetare Jerusalem_,” &c.

Footnote 123:

  “_Ad cameram regis._”

Footnote 124:

  Margaret, daughter of James I. of Scotland, who was betrothed to

Footnote 135:

  Saint-Nicolas-du-Port—then a celebrated centre of pilgrimage—near
  Nancy. As both Poulengey and Laxart connect this pilgrimage with her
  visit to the Duke de Lorraine, whose residence was at Nancy, it is
  clear that Saint-Nicolas-du-Port is meant, and not the Chapel of St.
  Nicolas near Vaucouleurs.

Footnote 136:

  The village of Domremy, although in the territory of Lorraine,

  with de Gaucourt, he defeated the English under Warwick at Montargis
  in 1427, and afterwards defended Orleans till its relief in 1429. He
  was created Count de Dunois, in 1439.

Footnote 141:

  Then Captain of Blois.

Footnote 142:

  Regnault de Chartres.

Footnote 143:

  Gilles de Laval, Seigneur de Rais, notorious for the horrible excesses
  which brought him to the scaffold in 1440.

Footnote 144:

  The Duke was then a prisoner in England.

Footnote 145:

  7th of May.

Footnote 146:

  Antiquarians state that the Café le Bœuf at Orleans covers the ancient
  “Boulevard” captured by Jeanne d’Arc. This redoubt adjoined the
  “Tourelles” and was close to the bridge of Orleans. Many steps below
  ground, and entered from the Café le Bœuf, is a room of carefully
  constructed masonry, being the interior of a tower, with embrasures
  for cannon, and iron rings to which cannons were attached.
