Page 116. line 6. _Vergy._] Anthony du Vergy, afterwards count of
Dammartin.
Page 116. line 7. _D'Ancre._] Ancre. Q. If not Autrey? John du Vergy,
lord of Autrey, was certainly present at this conference.
Page 118. line 1. _Giac._] This lady of Giac was the favourite mistress
of the duke of Burgundy; and her treason, which Monstrelet hints, is
expressly charged by the historians of Burgundy, who give her the name
of Dalila. At the siege of Montereau, she was punished by the loss of
all her property, and reduced to the extremes of poverty.
Page 156. line 16. _Huntingdon._] John Holland, son of John earl of
Huntingdon and duke of Exeter, beheaded in 1 H. 4. He was restored
to the earldom of Huntingdon in 4 H. 5., and in 11 H. 6. was created
duke of Exeter, with precedence over all the nobility except the duke
of York. He died in 25 H. 6. and was succeeded by his son Henry, who
died in banishment. After the death of the first duke of Exeter, his
widow, Elizabeth, sister of king Henry IV. and mother of the earl of
Huntingdon here mentioned, married for her second husband sir John de
Cornewal, who was afterwards summoned to parliament by the title of
lord Fanhope, 11 H. 6.
Page 164. line 13. _Roos._] John lord Roos of Hamlake, who for his
services obtained a grant of the lordship of Bacqueville, in Normandy,
from Henry V.,--but he was never marshal of England. Probably the
sentence ought to run thus: 'the lord Roos, the marshal of England,'
(viz. John lord Mowbray, afterwards earl of Nottingham and Norfolk)
'and sir Louis de Robesart.'
Page 164. line 15. _Robesart._] Sir Louis de Robesart was son of
John de Robesart, who also served king Henry, and was rewarded with
the lordship of St Sauveur le Vicompte in Normandy. He was heir to
the famous canon de Robesart so often mentioned by Froissart. Louis
afterwards married Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Bartholomew lord
Bourchier, and was called to parliament by that title. He died in 9 H.
6. He was a knight of the Garter.
Page 169. line 1. _Mailly._] These were four brothers, the sons of
John Maillet de Mailly, lord of St Huyn; first, Robert de Mailly,
called Robinet, grand butler, killed as here described; second, John
de Mailly, master of requests, &c. &c.; third, Colard de Mailly lord
of Blangy, seneschal of the Vermandois; fourth, Ferry de Mailly,
frequently mentioned among the Burgundians of this period. This family
was a branch of the stock of the lords de Mailly, killed at Agincourt.
Page 200. line 7. _Pierre._] Q. If not William de Chaumont, lord of
Guitry, counsellor and chamberlain to the king, and captain of Sens and
Auxerre? He was made count de Chaumont, and grand master of waters and
forests, in 1424, by Charles VII. His son Charles was killed at the
battle of Verneuil in 1423.
