Gaston, the eighteen-year-old son and legitimate heir of Fébus and Agnès de Navarre, died tragically in the first fortnight of August 1380, according to Tucoo-Chala, Catalogue..., p. 14: 'It appears to have been part of a wide-ranging political conspiracy against Fébus, in which certain discontented Béarnais nobles may have been implicated' (tr. PFA). The chronicler here takes charge of the narrative once again, the better to have the last word about what may have transpired.
