Note 246 — Chapter III
Reading edition
The Bishop of Metz was John, Cardinal of Lorraine, uncle of the more notorious Cardinal Charles. Châtellain had written a poetical chronicle of Metz reaching to the year 1524. A friendly hand continued it, and recorded the fate of Châtellain, described as
"Augustin, grand Docteur Qui estoit grand prédicateur."
The chronicle, which certainly possesses no striking literary merit, is printed among the Preuves of Dom Calmet, Histoire de Lorraine (Nancy, 1748), iii. pp. cclxxii., etc.
