Page 125. line 2. _Lord de Montigny._] Simon de Lalain, lord of
Montigny, who died in 1478, was the father of Jodocus, lord of Lalain
and Montigny, governor of Holland, who was killed at the siege of
Utrecht in 1483.

Page 129. line 5. _Navarre._] By the terms of the marriage-contract
between John of Arragon and Blanche queen of Navarre, Charles prince
of Viana, the eldest son of that marriage, ought to have succeeded to
the kingdom immediately on the death of his mother. This was, however,
delayed from time to time and at last effectually prevented through
the intrigues of Johanna Henriques the second wife of king John. A
civil war was the consequence of these acts of injustice, and the
prince sought the protection of a stronger power by an alliance with
Isabella sister of Henry IV. of Castile. This treaty also was rendered
abortive by the intrigues of his step-mother. He was then inveigled to
Lerida under colour of a pacification, and treacherously made prisoner.
Being at last liberated from his confinement to appease the dangerous
indignation of his adherents, he ended his life in a few days, being,
as some say, poisoned while in prison, but more probably from the
effects of ill-treatment and sorrow.
