From Burgundy were the lord de Vergy marshal of Burgundy, sir Anthony
de Vergy, Louis de Châlons son to the prince of Orange, the lord de
Salines, sir John de la Trimouille lord de Souvelle, sir Regnier
Pot, the lord de Montagu, the lord de Neuf-Châtel, the lord de

Andrew de Salines, Regnault de Moncouvin, Anthony de la Marche, sir
James de Courtjambe lord of St Liebault, the lord de Rausse, Pierre de
Digonne, sir Peter de Bauffremont, Emard de Viene, John and Clavin du
Clau, with many other noblemen from various countries, who, with their
men, were drawn up in most handsome array for two hours,--during which
time the duke of Burgundy, attended by some of his most confidential
advisers, rode along the ranks, bowing to each battalion as he passed,
and thanking them most graciously for the honour and service they did
him. In truth, it was a pleasant spectacle to see so many nobles with
the flower of their men at arms thus handsomely drawn out.
When the review was over, he marched his army across the Seine, at the
bridge of Meulan; and then John de Fosseux and Hector de Saveuses,
with no more than two hundred combatants, advanced by Val-de-Galie to
a castle called Bayne, that belonged to the abbot of Fécamp, who was
within it. He made his peace with them by means of his relation Louis
de Saint-Saulieu, who was with Hector; and it was agreed that a party
of their men should remain in the castle, to guard it against others
of the Burgundians,--and in consideration of a sum of money, they
gave the abbot an agreement signed with their seals; but a few days
afterward, by the consent of Hector de Saveuses, as reported, Philip de
Saveuses, and others in his company carried off all the effects, and
did much damage to it.
