Elizabeth,
m. Antony D. of Brabant.
2dly, John of Bavaria, bishop of Liege.
Footnote 35:
Charles the bold, married to a daughter of Robert of Bavaria, elector
palatine, and afterwards emperor.
Footnote 36:
Adolphus II. duke of Cleves, married Mary daughter of the duke of
Burgundy.
Footnote 37:
This seems to allude, in an enigmatical manner, to the charge of
sorcery and witchcraft against the person of the king of France, of
which the duke’s enemies accused him, as we find afterwards in doctor
Petit’s justification of the duke of Burgundy.
Footnote 38:
This was the half-sister of Richard, and daughter of the countess of
Kent, by her second husband, Thomas Holland, knight of the Garter, and
earl of Kent in right of his wife. She had been before separated from
her first husband, William Montague, earl of Salisbury. Her third
husband was Edward prince of Wales, by whom she had king Richard.
Footnote 39:
Edward duke of Aumerle and earl of Rutland, son to Edmund duke of
York, and cousin-german both to Richard II. and Henry IV. The reason
of the personal hatred of the count de St Pol against this prince
appears to be his having deserted and betrayed the conspirators at
Windsor. The discovery of that plot probably hastened the death of
Richard II.
Footnote 40:
James II. count de la Marche, great chamberlain of France, succeeded
to his father John in 1393, died 1438.

Chastel-Pol. Q. St Pol de Leon?
Footnote 47:
At the entrance of Brest harbour.
Footnote 48:
In 1383, he was appointed to the office of grand treasurer.
Footnote 49:
He is said, during his exile, to have signalized himself, like a true
knight, in combating the Saracens, of whom he brought back to France
so many prisoners that he constructed his magnificent castle of
Seignelay without the aid of other labourers.—Paradin, cited by
Moreri, Art. ‘Savoisy.’
Footnote 50:
William de Tignonville. The event here recorded happened in 1408.
After the bodies were taken down from the gibbets, he was compelled to
kiss them on the mouths.
