CHAP. I.

 THE CARDINALS D'ORSINI AND DI SAN MARCO COME TO FRANCE TO APPEASE
 THE QUARRELS OF THE PRINCES OF THE BLOOD ROYAL.--A PEACE IS MADE AT
 MONTEREAU, BUT NOT KEPT.


During the time the Duke of Burgundy resided in his duchy, he was
visited by the cardinals d'Orsini and di San Marco, who had been sent
by the pope to France to endeavour to make up the quarrels between the
king, the queen and the duke of Burgundy. The duke paid them every
respect, and feasted them magnificently, and declared that he was ready
to make peace with all who wished it; and for this purpose had sent
ambassadors to Bray-sur-Seine to meet others from the king.
