[Footnote 84: The practice of magic with small waxen images into which
pins were thrust, impious words being uttered at the same time, was at
least as old in France as the beginning of the fourteenth century. In
1330 Robert of Artois employed it to compass the death of Philip of
Valois and his queen; just as two centuries and a half later the
adherents of the League resorted to the same device to destroy Henry
III. and Henry of Navarre. See note L to the Heptameron (edit. cit.), i.
170. Jean de Marcouville (Recueil memor. Paris, 1564, Cimber et Danjou,
iii. 415) alludes to similar sorcery just after the death of Philip the
Fair, in 1314. It was therefore no "Italian sorcery" introduced into

des prot. de France, liv. ii. c. 17).]
