CHAP. XXII.
THE TREATY OF PEACE CONCLUDED BETWEEN THE DAUPHIN AND THE DUKE OF
BURGUNDY IS PROCLAIMED THROUGH DIVERS PARTS OF FRANCE.--OTHER MATTERS.
On the morrow after the conclusion of this peace, the dauphin left
Melun with his whole force, and went by Tours to Partenay, which he
had before held besieged, by the count de Vertus and others of his
captains, because the lord de Partenay had been ever attached to the
duke of Burgundy. He ordered the count to break up the siege, and to
make every preparation to carry on the war against the English.
The duke of Burgundy returned to Pontoise, where he gave great joy
to the king and queen of France by his intelligence of the happy
reconciliation that had taken place. From Pontoise, the duke conducted
the king and queen, with their state, to reside at St Denis, leaving
the guard of Pontoise to the lord de l'Isle-Adam, marshal of France,
and giving him a large sum of money to pay the men at arms that should
garrison that town.
