Page 263. line 3. _Sir Simon de Lalain._] Not, I believe, the lord of
Montigny mentioned before in p. 76, but another Simon de Lalain lord of
Chevrain and Descaussins.
Page 270. line 7. _Marquis of Rothelin._] The marquis de Rothelin is
said by Commines, however, to have been with the confederated princes
in the army of the duke of Calabria. Rodolph IV. marquis of Hockberg
rotelin and count of Neufchatel in Switzerland, died in 1486 leaving
his son and successor Philip; upon whose death in 1503 without issue
male, the county of Neufchatel passed by marriage into the house of
Dunois Longueville and the marquisate of Hockberg-rotelin reverted (by
virtue of a prior contract) to the house of Baden.
Page 270. line 8. _Count of Horne._] James the first, son of William
the ninth, lord of Hornes, was advanced to the dignity of a count
of the empire by Frederic the third. He died a monk in 1488. His
son James the second, succeeded him, whose son John the second,
dying without issue, bequeathed the county of Hornes to Philip de
Montmorency, lord of Neville, son of his wife by a former marriage.
Floris, the son of Philip, was the count of Hornes so celebrated in the
history of the Netherlands, who, together with the count of Egmont,
perished on the scaffold in 1570.
Page 275. line 9 from the bottom. _Lord de Haisenberghe._] John de
Hynsberg, or Heinsberg, the 52nd bishop of Liege, who had some years
before been compelled to resign his bishopric in favour of Louis de
Bourbon, nephew of the duke of Burgundy.
Page 279. line 20. _Thither._] There must be some mistake in this
passage which I am unable to set right, not having Monstrelet before
me. The widow of Brézé was already in Rouen, where her husband had
been accustomed to reside as seneschal of Normandy; and the duke of
Bourbon obtained entrance by means of a conspiracy entered into between
this lady and Louis de Harcourt, bishop of Bayeux and patriarch of
Jerusalem. See Du Clos. See also, afterwards, page 429.
Page 281. last line. _Montenac,--a village of Messin, near Metz._] A
mistake. The Montenac here mentioned must be the same with the Montenac
which is mentioned at page 333 and there said to be but four leagues
distant from Liege.
Page 284. line 13 from the bottom. _De Gasebecque._] Philip de Hornes
lord of Gaesbeck and Baussignies, grand chamberlain to the duke of
Burgundy, died in 1488 leaving issue Arnold lord of Gaesbeck, and John
lord of Baussignies.
Page 284. line 17. _Grand bailiff of Hainault._] John, son of Anthony
de Rubempré and Jaqueline de Croy, dame de Bievres. He was a great
favourite of duke Charles and fell by his side at the battle of Nancy.
His son was Charles lord of Riviéres.
