Page 16. last line. _Coqueluche_.] The coqueluche was a contagious disorder much dreaded in the fifteenth century. Its usual symptoms were a violent defluxion on the chest, accompanied with severe pains in the head. _Dict. de Trevoux._ Page 18. line 12. _De Vertus._] Brother to the duke of Orleans.--Vertus, from which he took his title, was originally a fief of Champagne, and fell with that palatinate to the crown of France. King John gave it to John Galeas, duke of Milan, as the dowry of his daughter Isabel, wife to that duke. It descended to Valentina, his daughter, and came with her into the house of Orleans: afterwards, by the family-partition made in 1445, it passed to Margaret of Orleans, wife to Richard count of Estampes, and was given to a bastard-branch of the house of Bretagne. Page 20. line 2. _Gaucourt._] John lord of Gaucourt died in 1393, leaving Raoul V. lord of Gaucourt. Eustace lord of Veri, great falconer of France, and John lord of Maisons sur Seine. Raoul V. was chamberlain to the king, and bailiff of Rouen: he was killed in the year 1417, and left a son, Raoul VI. who became grand master of France, and is much distinguished hereafter. Page 20. line 12. from bottom, _Saveuses_.] Saveuse, an ancient house in Picardy. Page 26. line 6. _Or joining the duke of Burgundy._] There must be some mistake here in the original. It ought probably to be _against_ instead of _or_. Page 37. line 10. from bottom, _Montagu_.] Alexander, son of Hugh III. duke of Burgundy, was the first lord of Montagu in 1205. From him descended the two branches, of Sombernon, extinct in 1391, and of Conches. Philibert de Montagu, lord of Conches, lived in 1404. He married into the house of Vienne. Page 41. line 14. _Vienne._] William IV. de Vienne, lord of St Georges, &c. surnamed The Wise, was counsellor and chamberlain both to the king and duke of Burgundy. He was at the bridge of Montereau when the duke was killed in 1419, and died in 1434. There were several junior branches of the house; but I cannot tell which is here meant. Page 60. line 6. _Viscount de Poix._] This nobleman was a descendant of Walter Tyrrel, who killed William Rufus in the New Forest. John Tyrrel, third of the name, lord of Poix and Mareuil, married Margaret de Châtillon, daughter to the lord de Dampierre. John IV. his eldest son, married Jane des Quesnes. He died in 1400, and left one son, John V. the viscount de Poix here mentioned. He was a counsellor and chamberlain of the king, and was killed at Agincourt.
