The Comte de Marcellus (_Chateaubriand et son temps_, p. 6) remarks that this paragraph interrupts the narrative and in no way assists it.--T. [9] Louis Moréri (1643-1680) took orders at Lyons, and in 1673 published in that town his _Dictionnaire historique et géographique_, which forms the basis of Bayle's _Dictionnaire critique_ (1697-1702).--T. [10] Bertrand d'Argentré (1519-1590), Seneschal of Rennes, and author of an _Histoire de Bretagne and Commentaires sur la coutume de Bretagne._--T. [11] Père Lobineau of the Benedictines (1666-1727), author of the _Histoire de Bretagne_ (1707), _Histoire des Saints de la Bretagne_, and other historical works.--T. [12] This genealogy is summarised in the _Histoire généalogique et héraldique des Pairs de France_, by M. le Chevalier de Courcelles.--_Author's Note._ The full title of the work by Pierre de Gibours, known as Père Anselme, is _Histoire généalogique et chronologique de la maison de France et des grands officiers de la Couronne_ (1674). Its importance is mainly due to the labours of the compilers who continued it, Du Fourni and Père Ange de Sainte-Rosalie (1726-1733).--T. [13] Bernard Chérin (1718-1785), genealogist and historiographer of the Orders of St. Lazarus, St. Michael, and the Holy Ghost--B. [14] 1250, when St. Louis defeated the Saracens, but was subsequently taken prisoner, with a number of his knights.--T. [15] _Seigneurs._--T. [16] _Sires._--T. [17] The estate of the Guerrande is situated not in Morbihan, but in the parish of Hénan-Bihen, now one of the communes of the Canton of Matignon, Arrondissement of Dinan (Côtes-du-Nord).--B. [18] 14 July 1789.--T. [19] The massacre of the _gardes-du-corps_ at Versailles.--T. [20] The second wife of Edward I. was Margaret, daughter of Philip the Bold, and grand-daughter of St. Louis, not of Louis the Fat. The reference is perhaps to Isabella of Angoulême, the affianced bride of Hugh of Lusignan, Count of the Marche, who was carried off and married by King John of England.--T. [21] The Lord of Beaumanoir in 1351 sent his famous challenge to the English Lord of Ploërmel. Thirty Bretons and thirty Englishmen met in mortal combat at the foot of the oak midway between Ploërmel and Josselin. Eight of the English were killed, and the remainder surrendered. In the heat of the fight, Beaumanoir, parched with heat and fatigue, drank the blood flowing from his own wounds.--T. [22] Olivier de Clisson, Constable of France, surnamed the Butcher. He succeeded Du Guesclin as Constable in 1380 and held the office until 1392. He died in his castle of Josselin, in Brittany, in 1407.--T. [23] See this note at the end of these Memoirs.--_Authors Note._ [24] Louis Robert Hyppolite de Bréhan, Comte de Plélo (1699-1734), French Ambassador at Copenhagen, a grand-nephew of Madame de Sévigné, and author of some light poems.--T.
