[641] It would appear from the chroniclers, that these are two distinct cases. Froment (Gestes de Genève, p. 195) says positively that the woman of whom he speaks n'eut pas de dommage; Stettler (Chronik, p. 71) says, on the contrary, of her whom he mentions, that she had vor ihrem Tod vier Mann erlegt. Could one or other of these writers be mistaken?
