1 This Iohn Earle of Dunois was bastard to Lewis Duke of Orleans. Meyer.
2 Yet La Marche saith, that the Earle of Maine was of the Princes confederacie.
3 The Arriereban is an edict neuer proclaimed but in cases of great extremitie: for all as well nobles as others are thereupon bound to repaire to the King, diuers of the which before the proclamation therof are not bound by their tenure to mooue. The Arri∣ereban of Daulphine heere named, were all those of the countrie of Daulphine, that held by this tenure. Reade the edict made by King Francis anno 1543. and Girarde of the state of Fraunce, lib. 2. fol. 113.
4 The King by the perswasion of the Earle of Maine and the Seneschall Brezey resolued at the last to fight. Annal. Burgund.
5 Brezey had changed armor with the King, which caused his death: for those that slue him supposed it had been the King, Annal. Aquitan. but Meyer saith he was reported to be slaine by the Kings procurement, vvhich I knovve not vvhere he findeth.
6 Of the day of the battell Annal. Franc. agree vvith our author, but Annal. Burg. & Annal. Aquit. say 17. Meyer hath 17. Cal. Augusti, that is the 16. day of Iuly, & vvith him agreeth Gaguin La Marche, vvho vvas present at the battell and knighted in it.
7 The Duke vvas ioined vvith the English men but 15. or 16. yeeres, as saith also In∣troduction de la Marche, for the league began anno 1419. and ended anno 1435.
8 The Burgundians dismounted so suddenly, that laying dovvne their complete armor they had not leasure to buckle their lighter armor about them, vvhich vvas the cause of Lalains death, Annal. Burgund.
9 Contay vsed another reason to persvvade the Earle to assaile his enimies heere not expressed, to vvit, to preuent the Parisians, vvho if they issued foorth should inclose him
