Page 117. line 1. _Prayaux._] Préaux. James de Bourbon, third son of
James I. count of la Marche, lord of Préaux by marriage, and grand
butler of France. His sons were, Louis, killed at Agincourt, Peter,
lord of Préaux in 1417, and James lord of Thury. The two latter married
two daughters of the grand master Montagu.
Page 118. line 15. _Tynouville._] Q. Tignonville.
Page 122. line 11. from bottom, _Bar._] Bona de Bar, second wife of
count Waleran, by whom he left no issue.
Page 123. line 6. _Wife._] Waleran, count of St Pol, married for his
first wife Matilda de Roeux, by whom he had one daughter, Jane, married
to Anthony duke of Brabant. She died before her father, leaving two
sons, John and Philip, who successively possessed the duchy of Brabant
as heirs to their father, and the counties of St Pol and Ligny in right
of their mother. Guy count of Ligny, father of Waleran, was also father
to John count of Brienne, whose son Peter succeeded to the county of
St Pol on the death of Philip duke of Brabant, in 1430, without issue.
Page 128. line 12. _Bourges._] 'A stoute and prowde bishopp,' says
Grafton, p. 447.
Page 132. line 11. _Requests._] 'The king was nothing vexed nor
unquieted with the sayeings and prowde bragges of the unnurtured
archbishopp, but well remembering the sayeing of Salomon, &c. &c.
coldely and soberly answered the bishop, saying, 'My lorde, I little
esteem your _french bragges_,' &c.----GRAFTON.
It is very easy to bestow the terms of pride and insolence on whichever
side of the question it is most convenient.
Page 142. line 11. _Clarence._] Thomas duke of Clarence.
Page 142. line 11. _Glocester._] Humphry duke of Glocester.
Page 142. line 13. _York._] Edward duke of York, son of Edmund Langley,
fifth son of Edward III.
Page 142. line 13. _Dorset._] Thomas Somerset, earl of Dorset and
afterwards duke of Exeter, youngest son of John of Gaunt by Catherine
Swineford. Holinshed commits two errors,--first, in saying that the
_marquis_ of Dorset was made duke of Exeter, whereas the _marquis_ of
Dorset was a distinct person from the earl, being the _eldest_ son of
John of Gaunt by the same venter, and forfeited his title by treason
in 1 H. 4.,--secondly, in fixing the date of creation in 1 H. 5.
whereas the earl of Dorset was not made duke of Exeter till 4. H. 5.
the year after the battle of Agincourt.
Page 142. line 14. _Windsor._] There was no earl of Windsor.--This
is probably a mistake for Ralph Nevil, earl of Westmoreland, who
accompanied the king.
Page 142. line 14. _Suffolk._] Michael de la Pole, earl of Suffolk,
killed at Agincourt.
Page 142. line 15. _Warwick._] Richard Beauchamp, earl of Warwick, a
distinguished warrior, and afterwards regent of France.
Page 142. line 15. _Kent._] A mistake for Gilbert de Umphraville, earl
of Kyme.
