Footnote 470
The 15th century accounts include the following representative examples:
Perceval de Cagny: "The Duke of Alençon didn't dare bring the Connétable
[Richemont] before the King, due to the state of disfavor he was in,
as is said. He returned to his mansion
of Parthenay, in good spirits and glad for the battle which
God had granted to the King, and very grieved that the King wouldn't
accept his services." (See: Quicherat's "Procès...", Vol IV, p. 16).
From Guillaume Gruel's Chronicle: "So my lord the Connétable
came away to Parthenay, and en route all the towns and passages were closed
to him; and they did all the worst that they could to him, for he had
given all the best that he could." (For the
original language, see: Quicherat's "Procès...", Vol IV, p. 320);
"Chronique d'Arthur de Richemont", p. 75).
