Page 334. line 3 from the bottom. _Count de Foix._] Archambaud
de Greilly, Captal de Buche, who became count de Foix (as before
mentioned) in right of his wife Isabel, sister and heir to Matthew de
Chateaubon, died in 1412, leaving five sons, of whom John, the eldest
was count de Foix, and died in 1437, leaving Gaston IV, his successor,
and Peter, lord of Lautrec and Villemur, his two sons. Gaston IV. (the
count of Foix here mentioned) had for his mother a daughter of the
count d'Albret, and marrying Eleanor, daughter of John king of Arragon
by his first wife the queen of Navarre, transmitted to his grandson
Francis Phœbus, the title to that kingdom. Of the four remaining sons
of count Archambaud, Peter was a cardinal; Archambaud was lord of
Noailles, killed by the dauphin at Montereau, in company with John
duke of Burgundy; Gaston was Captal de Buche, count of Longueville and
Benanges; and Matthew was count of Comminges in right of his wife,
Margaret the heiress of that county. This Matthew died in 1453, leaving
by his second wife, Catherine de Coras, two daughters only. The title
of Comminges was then given by Louis XI, (who claimed it as a male
fief) to the bastard of Armagnac commonly called De Lescun.

admiral of France after Louis de Culant, but resigned that office to be
made a marechal in 1439. He married Mary de Laval, lady of Retz, widow
of the admiral de Coetivy, by whom he had no issue, and died in 1486.
Page 335. line 2. _Jaloignes._] Philip de Culant, lord of Jaloignes,
seneschal of the Limousin, created a marshal of France the year
before, on occasion of the siege of Pontoise. He died in 1454 without
issue. He was nephew to Louis lord de Culant, admiral of France, and
younger brother to Charles de Culant, lord of Chateauneuf, &c. grand
master in 1449.
Page 335. line 5. _Lord de Mongascon._] Godfrey, second son of Bertrand

de Maulevrier; but afterwards married Anne de Beaufort daughter of the
marquis de Canillac.
