¶Of the dethe of the yonge erle Lo∣yes of Chastelone / sonne to the erle Guy of Bloys. Cap. C.lxxix.

IT hath been shewed here before in this hystory / whan̄e I spake of the aly∣aūce and maryage of Lois of Chatellon / sonne to the erle of Bloys / maryed to y^e lady Marye / doughter to duke Iohan of Berrey / and at the confyrma∣cyon of this maryage the duke of Berrey pro¦uyded greatly for his doughter / for she was assigned for her dowry in the coūtie of Bloys / the somme of syxe thousande pounde money / corante in Fraunce / to be payed in florayns / if the foresayd Loys of Bloys dyed before his wyfe. than all the countie of Blois to be boūde to pay these foresayd syre thousande frankes. And so it fortuned that about the feest of saint Iohan the Baptyste in the yere of our lorde god a thousande thre hundred fourscore and a leuen / this yonge Loys of Bloys sonne to the erle Guy / departed fro his father fro the ca∣stell of Moltyz in Bloys to go in to Haynalt / to se his mother and wyfe / and whan he came to Beaumonte in Haynault he fell sycke of a feuer / by reason that he had rydden great iour¦neys / and the season was boote / and he was but yuell kepte / and but tendre of age / as of xiiii. yeres / by whiche syckenes he dyed with out helpe / for the physycions coulde nat put a way his hote feuer. ye maye well knowe that the father and mother were ryght soroufull / whan they knewe of the dethe of thier sonne and heyre. In lykewyse so was his wyfe the yonge lady of Berrey / who loued hym entier∣ly / and thought her selfe hyghtly maryed / specyally the trouble of the father was right gret / for he ymagyned that the duke of Berrey was ryght couetouse / and feared leste he wolde en∣tre in to the countie of Bloys / and put him out for the dowry of his doughter. Thus the duke of Berreys two doughters were bothe wy∣dowes in one yere / the eldest called Boesme was countesse of Sauoy / and her husbande the yonge erle of Sauoy called Ame dyed the same yere ryght marueylously / of whose deth there came great busynesse / and it was layde to sir Othe of Grau•• ••ome / in suche wyse that he was fayne to flye out of Sauoy / and out of Fraunce and Almayne / and so wente & dwelte in the realme of Englande. ∵ ∵
