n’eut mie conseil
de tenir longuement la guerre contre le roy Henry, si en fu fait accort et paix
par les moiens des barons d’Espaigne. Si demoura le roy Henri
tout a paix dedens Castille. Et fist messire Bertrain connestable de toute Castille et lui donna la terre de Sorie qui bien valoit par an XXM frans. Et a messire Olivier de Mauny son nepveu la terre de Crette qui bien valoit par an XM et ainsi
aux autres chevaliers et escuiers de France et de Bretaigne par lesquelx il estoit venu a chief de ses besoingnes. Si vint tenir son estat a Burges sa femme et ses enfans en regnant comme roy. De sa prosperité furent moult resjoiz le roy de France, le duc
d’Angiers et le roy d’Arragon.
En ce temps trespassa de ce siecle a Ast en Pieu montmessire Lyon d’Engleterre, qui en celle annee estoit paséz oultre comme
cy dessus est dit. Et avoit pris a femme la fille a messire Galeas seigneur de Milan. Et pour tant qu’il mouru asséz merveilleuse ment, messire Edouart son
compaignon qui la estoit en fist guerre au dit messire Galeas et le hairi
a un temps et rua jus par pluseurs fois de ses gens. En la fin le conte de Savoie
s’en ensomna et les mist a accort.
SHF 1-601syncComment les seigneurs de Gascoigne se conseillierent pour appeller du prince. Vous avéz cy dessus oy recorder com ment le prince
estoit informe des lever I fouage en sa terre d’Acquitaine, dont toutes gens se
tenoient a trop chargiés et par especial ceulx de Gascoingne. Car ceulz des basses marches de Poitou, de Saintonge et de La Rochelle, si accordoient asséz pour tant qu’ilz estoient plus prouchains de sejour du
prince. Et aussi ilz ont toudiz esté plus obeissans et plus fermes a leurs
seigneurs que ceulx des loingtaines marches. Pour ceste chose mettre a l’entention
du prince et de son conseil en furent pluseurs parlemens assembléz a
Niorth en Angoulesme, a Poitiers, a Bour deaux et a Bergerach. Et toudiz maintenoient ceulx de Gascoingne que point n’en paieroient et mettoient avant qu’ilz avoient ressort en la chambre du roy de France. Et le prince disoit que non et que le roy de
France avoit quitté tous ressors et toutes juriditions
quant il rendy
les terres a son seigneur de pere. Ainsi que bien estoit apparent par les chartres
de la paix et que nul article n’y avoient les traitteurs de la paix pour le roy de France reservé. A ce respondoient les Gascoings et disoient qu’il n’estoit
mie en l’ordonnance ne en la puissance du roy de France, ne onques ne fu qu’il
le peust quitter du ressort car les prelas, les barons, les citéz et les bonnes villes de
Gascoingne ne l’eussent jamais souffert ne soufferroient encore s’il estoit a faire
pour tousjours demourer le royaume de France et le royaume d’Engleterre en guerre. Et pour ce, se tenoient tous quoys a Paris devers le roy de France, le conte d’Armignach, le sire de Labreth, le conte de Pierregort, le conte de Commignes et pluseurs autres barons de
Gascoingne qui tutoient et enformoient le roy nuit et jour par grant loisir que le prince, par orgueil et presumption, les vouloit suppediter et
eslever choses indeves. Et remoustrerent au roy qu’ilz avoient ressort a lui,
si vouloient que le prince feust appellé en la chambre des pers sur
les griefs qu’il leur vouloit faire ou ilz se trairoient en autre court. Le roy de France s’assenti emuz a ce pour ce qu’il veoit que la chose ne pouoit venir a autre
chief que a guerre. Laquelle, sans grant title de raison, il ne vouloit esmouvoir car encore
veoit son royaume trop oppressé de compaignes et d’ennemis et son frere le
duc de Berry hostagier en Engleterre. En ce temps
estoit revenuz en France messire Guy de Lini, conte de Saint Pol,
sans prendre congié aux Englois et par grant soutiveté dont la matiere
seroit longue a recorder. Lequel conte haioit durement les Englois et rendoit grant paine a ce que le roy de France descendist a la priere des Gascoings. A son oppinion estoient descendans pluseurs prelas, contes,
barons et chevaliers du royaume de France et disoient que le roy d’Engleterre et le prince n’avoient point tenu la paix car les Englois avoient toudiz couvertement guerroié le royaume de France et avoit
