Note 269 — Chapter III

D’Aubigné, I, 300, and n. 2. The vidame of Chartres, who had been confined in the Bastille, “though allowed to take the air” (C. S. P. For., No. 764, December 3, 1560), was released also, but died almost immediately (La Place, 78-79, gives a eulogy of him). See Lemoisne, “François de Vendôme, vidame de Chartes,” Positions de thèses de l’Ecole des Chartes, 1901, 89. His death enriched the house of Montmorency, for he left the lordship of Milly-en-Gatinois, worth 3,000 crowns yearly, to Damville, the constable’s second son (C. S. P. For., No. 832, §10, December 31, 1560). The will is printed in Bib. de l’Ec. d. Chartes, 1849, 342; it is dated December 23.
