Note 10 — Chapter XXXIX · LOUISE GAUTHIER—THE CONCLUSION

cachots] ‘The hapless Prince d’Armagnac and his brother were confined in these cachots by Louis XI. They were taken out twice a week to be scourged, in the presence of Phillipe O’Huillier, the governor, and had some teeth drawn every three months. The eldest lost his reason; but the youngest, delivered at the death of Louis, published these facts, which would otherwise have been considered too terrible for belief.’—Hist. de l’Ancien Gouvern. par le compte de Boulainvilliers, tom. iii.
