The Notes.

1 This was the treaty of Conflans at the conclusion vvhereof these three heere named (as our auhor himselfe before reherseth,) vvere the Dukes enimies and tooke part vvith the King: vvherefore no reason it vvas that the Duke should seeke to haue them com∣prehended in the treatie as his freinds, seeing at the conclusion thereof they vvere his enimies.

2 This des Murz the old copie nameth De Meriens, La Marche d'Emeries. Annal. Burgund. d'Aymeries. The tovvnes name is Aymeries in Henault vpon the riuer of Sambre, Guicci. in the description of Henault, yet the same author in his description generall nameth the man d'Emery. Annal. Burgund. in another place nameth him d'Es∣meriez. Meyer Aymericius and Emericius, so that I suppose it best to reade it as I haue translated it, but that des Murz is very corrupt I am out of doubt.

3 This city vvas diuided into three quarters, as appeereth by Guic. description, for the vvhich cause it vvas fired at three seuerall times.

4 The old copie hath Lambourg as I haue translated it, the nevv Luxembourg, as haue also Annal. Burgund. but not vvell in mine opinion. For Lambourg is hard by Liege, but Luxembourg farther off.
