Note 389 — Chapter XXVI · THE PEOPLE AND THE BISHOP DEFEND THE CAUSE OF THE FUGITIVES. (December 1525 To February 1526.)

The official Registers of the Council (Dec. 22) say: ‘Bandière leading three or four boys.’ Syndic Balard, an eye-witness, says: ‘Bandière, accompanied by the children of some of those who have retired to Germany.’ (Journal, p. 34.) Bonivard says the same, Chroniq. ii. p. 435. It is therefore a mistake in a writer, otherwise very learned in the history of Geneva, to say that: ‘There was not a single little child with him.’ (Galiffe, Matériaux, &c. ii. p. 334.) His son did not fall into the same error. (Galiffe fils, Besançon Hugues, p. 277.)
