ay of July (_an error for_ June) he rode with a goodly company thorugh the cytie towarde the see syde." [36] Printed in the Excerpta Historica, 1831, p. 366. [37] They are printed in Rymer, vol. xii. pp. 13, 14. This was merely a constitutional form, for the prince was then only four years of age. [38] Hall states that "he hymself with his nobilitie warlikely accompaigned passed over betwene Dover and Caleys the iiij daye of July," his army, horses, and ammunitions of war having in their transport occupied twenty days. [39] Monstrelet in his Chronicle attempts to present a list of the principal English lords and knights (the latter more than fifty in number), but every name is so disfigured that they are almost past recognition: as the names he gives to the nobility will show. He calls them, the dukes of Sufflocq and Noirflocq, the earls of Crodale (Arundel?), Nortonbellan, Scersebry, (Shrewsbury, and not as Buchon his editor suggests Salisbury, which title did not then exist,) Willephis (Wiltshire?), and Riviere; the lords Stanlay, Grisrufis, Gray, Erdelay, Ondelay, Verton, Montu, Beguey, Strangle, Havart, and Caubehem. The last name (Cobham) and that of lord Fitzwaren are among the indentures printed by Rymer in his vol. xi. pp. 844-848, already noticed in the note in p. xx. [40] These particulars are derived from the diary kept by the _maistres d'hostel_ of the Burgundian court, which gives the following minute and curious account of the duke's movements, including the positions, not elsewhere to be found, of the English army during the months of July and August. "Le 6. Juillet la duchesse de Bourgoyne, qui avoit ete presque toujours a Gand, arriva a Calais vers le roy d'Angleterre son frere, qui la deffraya. "Le 14. ce duc arriva a Calais vers le roy d'Angleterre, qui le deffraya, la duchesse etant pour lors a Sainct Omer, avec les ducs de Clarence et de Glocestre ses freres. Le 18. il alla au chasteau de Guines avec ce roy, qui le fit deffraiyer. Il en partit le 19, et alla a Sainct Omer, ou il trouva la duchesse. Il en partit le 22., et alla a Fauquemberghe, pres l'ost du roy d'Angleterre. Il y sejourna le 23., et en partit le 24. apres dejeuner, et alla disner, soupper, et coucher en la cite d'Arras; et ce jour il mangea du poisson, a cause de la veille de Sainct Jacques. Le 27. il partit d'Arras apres disner, et alla coucher a Dourlens. Il en partit le 29. apres disner, et alla voir l'ost du roy d'A
