Note 1166 — Chapter V
Reading edition
Meteren, Hist. des Pays-Bas, fol. 58.—Guerres Civiles du Pays-Bas, p. 177—Relacion de la Justicia, MS.
M. de Bavay has published a letter from one of the bishop of Ypres's household, giving an account of the last hours of Egmont, and written immediately after his death. (Procès du Comte d'Egmont, pp. 232-234.) The statements in the letter entirely corroborate those made in the text. Indeed, they are so nearly identical with those given by Foppens in the Supplément à Strada, that we can hardly doubt that the writer of the one narrative had access to the other.
