Page 75. line 20. _Tede._] George Demetrow is named as grand duke of
Prussia at this period. The meaning of _Tede_ I cannot discover.
Page 75. line 12. _Treves._] Theodoric count of Meurs, archbishop of
Cologne 1414. Werner count of Konigstein, archbishop of Treves 1388.
Page 75. line 24. _Bavaria._] John, brother of duke William count of
Hainault, often mentioned before.
Page 76. line 7. _Of Prussia._] Michael Kuckenmeister de Hemberg, grand
master of the Teutonic order, 1413.
Page 76. line 8. _Cleves._] Adolphus VI. count of Marck and Cleves.
Page 76. line 9. _Acusaire._] Theodore Palæologus was marquis of
Montferrat. Who his son _Acusaire_ can be, it is very difficult to say.
Page 76. line 10. _Saussebourg._] Saussenburg.
Page 76. line 14. _Nassau._] The three counts of Nassau were, first,
Adolphus III. count of Nassau, descended from Walram, eldest son of
Henry the rich; 2d, Adolphus count of Nassau Dillemburg, descended
from Otho, youngest son of Henry the rich; 3d, Philip count of Nassau
Weilborg, or Jarbruck, descended from Walram in another line.
Page 76. line 15. _Rayneck._] Rheineck.
Page 76. line 17. _Blancquehem._] Blanckenburg?
Page 76. note, _Vissegarde_.] Q. if not rather Wurtzburg? Pussau is
probably Passau; and the words 'in Hungary' refer only to the last
named place.
Page 78. line 4. _D'Ercles._] Perhaps Arckel, the name of a noble
family in Holland. Called in Latin Arculeas. See post.
Page 78. line 10. _Toncle._] Q. Tongres?
Page 80. line 17. _Torments._] Some say that this murder was committed
at the instigation of the Florentines. See Giannone, lib. 24. c. 8. The
whole story, however, looks like a fabrication; and it is at least much
more natural to suppose that Ladislaus was killed by his debaucheries,
which were excessive. He was succeeded by his sister Joan II.
Page 85. line 15. _Tonnerre._] Louis II. de Châlon, count of Tonnerre,
nephew of John IV. count of Auxerre and Tonnerre, who sold Auxerre to
king Charles V.
Page 87. line 3. _Sea-shore._] Peniscola in Valencia.
Page 96. line 20. _Pois._] Jehannot de Poix, second son of John III.
lord of Poix and Margaret de Châtillon, sister of James lord de
Dampierre. He received the rank of admiral, but never exercised the
office. He died of the plague in 1418. See note, p. 60.
Page 99. line 11. _Guy._] A mistake for Grey. Richard lord Grey of
Codnover was appointed by patent, 2 H. 4. admiral of the fleet from the
mouth of the Thames northward.
Page 102. line 4. _Chinon._] Chiny.
Page 110. line 7. _France._] This ought to be 'De Marle, grand butler
of France.' Robert de Bar, count of Marle, held that office from
the sixth October, 1413, to the time of his death, at the battle of
Agincourt.
