Nevers, who died, s. p. and John count of Estampes and of Nevers after

Edward duke of Bar and John de Bar lord of Puisaye were brothers, and

Robert de Bar, count of Marle and Soissons, was son to Henry de Bar
another brother, and also died s. p. Upon these deaths, the succession
was disputed between Louis, cardinal de Bar, the surviving brother, and

(duke of Lorraine, &c.) grandson of Yoland.

Ferry count de Vaudemont. He was of the house of Lorraine, and acquired
Vaudemont by his marriage with the heiress of Vaudemont and Joinville.
Henry II. count of Blamont, of the house of Salms.
Edward II. count of Grandprè, of the house of Porcien.
John VI. count of Roussy and Braine, descended from the old counts of
Rheims. He left one daughter, Jane, married to Robert de Sarreback,

had issue by her one son, James II. lord de Dampierre, who served the
dauphin faithfully, and was made grand pannetier de France.
Page 185. line 19. _Household._] The name of sir Guichard Dauphin
appears to have betrayed Shakespeare into the error of making the
dauphin of France present at the battle of Agincourt, which he
was not,--unless we suppose the error to lie with the editors, in
confounding two persons meant by Shakespeare to be distinct. In the
camp scene before the battle, his dauphin does not hold such a rank
in the debate and conversation as is suitable to the heir of the
french monarchy, but precisely that which the master of the household
might hold with propriety. In one scene, he is thus mentioned, 'Enter
Rambures, Châtillon, Dauphin and others.'
Page 186. line 9. _Croy._] John lord de Croy and his _two_ eldest sons,
John and Archambaud.
