Page 116. line 4. from the bottom. _Stamp._] The question, as stated
by Heuterus, was "solidiori è materia Boni ne corpus coagimentatum
foret, quam ceterorum principum?" To which Chimay is made to answer,
"Imò: nam nisi id ita foret, quomodo te patris iram fugientem recipere,
&c. &c. ausus fuisset?" The king was greatly confounded, and from this
time said no more about the gabelle; but the duke of Burgundy, by the
advice of the lords of the house of Croy, and to the great displeasure
of his son, shortly after gave up the towns on the river Somme, as is
mentioned in chapter 23.
Page 118. line 3. from the bottom. _Duke of Orleans._] Qu. Peter, lord
of Beaujeu, was married to Anne daughter of Louis XI. This might be a
second marriage; but I do not find it so in the genealogical tables
which I have consulted.
Page 119. line 8. _Lord d'Arquel._] Here is a double mistake in the
genealogy. Catherine, third daughter of the duke of Bourbon, married
Adolphus, son of Arnold duke of Gueldres, who was himself duke of
Gueldres after his father's death in 1473, and might, during his
father's life time, have been sometimes stiled the lord of Arckeln,
which lordship came into his family by the marriage of his grandfather
John count of Egmond with the heiress of Arckeln and Gelders. The
connection of the families of Gueldres and Cleves with each other and
with the house of Burgundy will be better understood by the following
table, which will also explain at one view the mode by which the duchy
of Gueldres passed successively by marriages into the families of
Juliers, Arckeln, and Egmont, and the county of Cleves into that of
Marck, and how the younger branch of Cleves came into possession of the
county of Nevers.
