Page 187. line 5. from the bottom. _Old._] The duke of Orleans, being
present at this assembly held at Tours, ventured to defend the duke of
Bretagne against some of the charges instituted by the king; and his
remonstrances offended Louis so highly that he fell into a passion and
called him a rebel, or the favourer of a rebel. The duke, being then
very old and infirm took this conduct so much to heart that it hastened
his death which happened a few days afterwards. This prince, after the
battle of Agincourt, had sustained 25 years of captivity with exemplary
fortitude, applying his mind to study and reflexion; and he derived
so much benefit from the lessons of calamity that at his death he was
universally regretted as one of the most virtuous princes that France
had ever known. He left by his duchess Mary of Cleves (whom he married
after his return to France) one son, afterwards king of France; and two
daughters, one the abbess of Fontevrauld, the other the wife of John de
Foix viscount of Narbonne. Du Clos.
Page 225. line 5. from the bottom. _Sir Anthony de Baudoin._] Qu.
Anthony and Baldwyn? These were the names of the two bastards.
Page 226. line 12. from the bottom. _Toulongeon._] John IV. lord of
Toulongeon and Senecey, died in 1462, without issue. He was son of John
III. marshal of Burgundy mentioned in a former volume. Upon his death
Claude de Toulongeon lord of Trave, of a younger branch became head of
the family; and it is he who is here mentioned. He died in 1495.
Page 234. line 12. _Lord de Boullencourt._] Hué de Mailly, lord of
Lorsignol and Bouillencourt, governor of Montdidier; fifth son of
Colart de Mailly, celebrated for his crusade in Prussia, and brother of
Colart de Mailly, who was killed at Agincourt together with his father.
Page 245. line 16. _Lord de Barbasan._] Beraud de Faudoas was
instituted heir by the valiant Barbasan, who died 1432.
Page 245. line 16. _Flocquet Salzart._] A mistake. It should be
"Floquet Salazar, and other captains." Robert Floquet was bailiff of
Evreux, and is mentioned before in page 396 of this volume.
John de Salazar, surnamed "le grand chevalier," lord of St Just, &c.
&c. chamberlain to Charles the seventh, and further recompensed for his
great services by the lordship of Issoudun, died in 1479 at Troyes in
Champagne. He married Margaret de la Trimouille, daughter of George
count of Guisnes, and had by her, Hector lord of St Just, Galeas lord
of Lez, Lancelot lord of Marcilly, all celebrated warriors, and Tristan
bishop of Meaux, who in 1471 was promoted to the archbishoprick of Sens.
