Page 408. line 14. _Together._] This marriage was contracted by the
dauphin without the consent of his father, who prevented the young
couple from coming together for five years after they were betrothed
to each other. Their union was at last brought about by the duke of
Burgundy, who sent the lord of Montagu into Savoy, to bring away the
princess. She, it is added, was very ready to obey the mandate, and the
solemnity was shortly after concluded with great pomp at Namur. This
transaction by no means tended to reconcile the king to his son. [See
Vanderburch, Hist. Principum Sabaudonum.]

Page 413. line 13. _So._] See a particular account of this strange
ceremony of swearing on the peacock, or pheasant, in M. de St. Palaye's
Memoires sur l'Ancienne Chivalerie.

Elizabeth duchess of Austria. See the genealogical table and note in
the present vol.

Page 416. line 15. _Duchess of Burgundy._] John duke of Coimbra, son
of Peter, brother of Edward king of Portugal. He married Charlotte,
only daughter and heir of John III. king of Cyprus; but it seems to be
a mistake of Monstrelet's, where he calls her the widowed queen. She
survived the duke of Coimbra, and married for her second husband Lewis
prince of Savoy. The crown of Cyprus was usurped by James; the bastard
son of John III, and never enjoyed either by Charlotte herself or by
either of her husbands. Isabella, duchess of Burgundy, was sister of
Edward king of Portugal and of Peter duke of Coimbra.

Page 424. line 11. _Naples._] This great prince was succeeded in his
hereditary dominions of Arragon and Sicily by his brother John, who was
already king of Navarre in right of his queen, Blanche the daughter of
Charles the third. Alphonso claimed the right of conquest in disposing
of his kingdom of Naples in favour of his bastard, Ferdinand. The
succession of Arragon and Castile, and union of crowns in the person of
Ferdinand, the catholic, will be easily comprehended by the following
table.
