Note 1045 — Chapter XIII · THE FEAST OF FOOLS

Boutiot, op. cit. iii. 20; A. de Jubainville, Inventaire sommaire des Archives départementales de l’Aube, i. 244 (G. 1275); P. de Julleville, Les Com. 35, Rép. Com. 330; A. Vallet de Viriville, in Bibl. de l’École des Chartes, iii. 448. The letter of Jean Leguisé to Louis de Melun is printed in Annales archéologiques, iv. 209; Revue des Soc. Savantes (2nd series), vi. 94; Journal de Verdun, Oct. 1751, and partly by Rigollot, 153. It is dated only Jan. 23, but clearly refers to the events of 1444-5. The Ordonnance of Charles VII is in Martene and Durand, Thesaurus Novus Anecdotorum, i. 1804; H. Denifle, Chartularium Univ. Paris, iv. 657. Extracts are given by Ducange, s. v. Kalendae. The king speaks of the Troyes affair as leading to the Theological Faculty’s letter. It is permissible to conjecture that he was moved, no doubt by the abstract rights and wrongs of the case, but also by a rumour spread at Troyes that he had revoked the Pragmatic Sanction. For, as a matter of fact, Peter of Brescia, the papal legate, was trying hard to get him to revoke it.
