CHAP. I.

 THE KING OF FRANCE COUNTERMANDS HIS SUMMONS TO THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY,
 FORBIDS HIM TO COME TO MONTARGIS, AND ORDERS HIM TO SEND THITHER
 THREE OR FOUR OF HIS NOBLES TO CONSULT WITH THE OTHER PEERS OF
 FRANCE.--SLIGHT MENTION MADE OF THE SENTENCE PASSED ON THE DUKE OF
 ALENÇON IN THE TOWN OF VENDÔME, WITH THE RESERVATION OF THE KING'S
 APPROVAL.


On the return of Golden Fleece king at arms, about the beginning of
June, he told duke Philip his lord, that the king having learnt that he
intended coming to Montargis with a very numerous army, which would
unavoidably do great damage to the countries they should pass through,
on that account held him excused from coming thither in person, and
entreated that he would send three or four of his council to represent
him.

The duke immediately appointed the count d'Estampes, sir Simon de
Lalain, knights, and some clerks of his council, together with Golden
Fleece king at arms, as his proxies at the ensuing meeting.

Before this, however, took place, a great meeting was held at
Gravelines, between commissioners from England and others sent by
duke Philip. Soon after, the count d'Estampes went under a passport
to Calais, where he was grandly feasted by the English; and it was
reported that a truce was then agreed on between the two countries.
