[9] There seems to have been some pretext, on the score of retaliation, for the commission of these barbarities, the insurgents, during the time of their power, having exercised many similar enormities against those of the government faction. [10] John, third son of Louis I. and brother of Louis II. de Châlons, counts of Auxerre. [11] Mentioned in p. 23. [12] Amblard I. lord of La Baûme, had issue, Peter, Perceval, _John_, William, and Louis. John was a monk at Ambronnai; but Perceval, who continued the line, had issue, Amblard II. and William, surnamed Morelet, who was grand butler of Burgundy in 1430. Perhaps he is the _great lord_ here meant. [13] Mentioned in vol. i. p. 135. [14] John III. lord of Crequy and Canaples, is mentioned by Froissart. He had issue, John IV. lord of Crequy, &c. _Reginald_, killed at Agincourt, and others. [15] Escoquehen. Q. Stocheim? [16] Heusden,--a town between Gorcum and Bois-le-Duc. [17] Oliver count of Penthievre, mentioned before. [18] Frederic, or Ferry, count of Vaudemont. [19] Catherine of Lancaster, wife of Henry III. and mother of John II. kings of Castile. I do not find a queen of Portugal in the catalogue of her children; but this event seems to be here strangely misplaced. Turquet says, ‘L’an suyvant, 1418, décéda la royne D. Catherine, aagèe de cinquante ans, de mort soudaine, et fût enterrèe à Tolede, en la chapelle des roys derniers.’ [20] Brooke calls him _John_. He married Philippa, daughter to king Henry of England by Eleanora his second wife. _Eric_ X. king of Denmark, &c. son of Wratislaus duke of Pomerania by Mary of Mecklenburg, niece to Margaret, _the Semiramis of the north_. His great aunt, Margaret, was still alive. [21] See before, vol. i. p. 57. [22] Margaret of Bavaria, sister to the emperor Robert, married Charles the bold, duke of Lorraine. [23] Margaret, heiress of Vaudemont, married Frederick, brother of Charles duke of Lorraine. [24] Q. Who was this? [25] John le Maingre, second of the name, count of Beaufort and viscount of Turenne. He was the son of mareschal Boucicaut the elder, mentioned by Froissart, who died in 1371. He was himself made a mareschal of France in 1391, having been knighted, nine years before, at the battle of Rosebec in Flanders. He went into Hungary and was present at the battle of Nicopolis, and made prisoner with John count of Nevers. He was again appointed to the relief of the emperor of Constantinople in 1399. In 1401, he was made governor of Genoa,--and he took the city of Famagousta in Cyprus for the Genoese. He was made prisoner at Agincourt, and died in England 1421. He was a poet as well as warrior, and composed many rondeaux and virelays. In his epitaph, he is called Constable to the emperor of Constantinople. [26] See Shepherd’s Life of Poggio, p. 42. [27] Robert Hallam, cardinal, and chancellor of the university of Oxford. [28] Brandac. Q. Brunswic? [29] Marquis of Brandenbourg and Moravia. See vol i. p. 63.
