These were the conclusions of my lady of Orleans and her sons,--after
which, the council of the princes of the blood, and others of the
king’s council, with the approbation of the duke of Acquitaine, made
the chancellor reply to the duchess of Orleans, that the duke of
Acquitaine, as lieutenant for the king, and representing his person,
and the princes of the blood-royal were well satisfied with her
conduct respecting her late lord the duke of Orleans: that they held
him perfectly exculpated from all the charges that had been brought
against him; and that, in regard to her requests, speedy and good
justice should be done her, so that she should be reasonably contented
therewith.

A few days after, the young duke of Orleans, Charles, did homage for
the duchy of Orleans, and all his other possessions, to his uncle
Charles king of France: then, taking leave of the queen and dauphin,
and the princes of the blood who were in Paris, he departed with his
men at arms for Blois, whence he had come. The duchess-dowager of
Orleans remained in Paris.

    GUYE DE ROVE, ARCHBISHOP OF RHEIMS, APPEALS FROM THE
    CONSTITUTIONS DRAWN UP BY THE UNIVERSITY OF PARIS, WHICH ANGERS
    THAT BODY, AND THEY IMPRISON HIS COMMISSARY.


At this period, Guy de Roye[1], archbishop of Rheims, who had been
summoned specially by the king to attend the meeting of the prelates at
Paris, assembled to consider on the means of uniting the whole church,
neither came himself nor sent any one in his behalf. He refused to
agree to the decisions of this council, and sent a chaplain as his
commissary, with letters signed with his name and seal, to confirm his
opposition to all the statutes they had drawn up, as well for himself
and his diocese as for all his subjects within the province.

The king and the clergy were much displeased at this conduct; and the
university of Paris requested that the commissary should be confined in
close imprisonment, where he remained for a long time.

The cardinal of Bordeaux came at this time to Paris, partly for the
union of the church; and then also returned thither master Peter Paoul,
and the patriarch of Alexandria, named master Symon Cramant, who
had been sent by the king of France and the university of Paris, as
ambassadors to the two rival popes.
