Note 48 — Chapter IX · “THE CONVALESCENCE OF FRANCE”
Reading edition
[The fall of La Trémouille was due to a conspiracy aroused by his lethargy, through which the English in 1432 were able to regain Montargis and take several important towns. “M. de la Trémouille,” says De Brantôme;l “was so happy as to prove a faithful and worthy servant to three kings. He was an excellent and worthy captain, and for this reason he had the honour and happiness to be known as ‘the knight without fear and without reproach.’ Splendid title indeed for him who can keep it, and wear it to the end of his life!”]
