Synopsis
Excerpt from The Chronicles of Enguerrand De Monstrelet, Vol. 1 of 13: Containing an Account of the Cruel Civil Wars Between the Houses of Orleans and Burgundy; Of the Possession of Paris and Normandy by the English; Their Expulsion Thence
Monstrelet was a nobleman then, and a nobleman of Picardy; but we have good reason to suspect that his birth was not spot less. John le Robert, abbot of St Aubert in Cambray from the year 1432 to that of 1469, and author of an exact journal of every thing that passed during his time in the town of Cambray and its environs, nu der the title of Memoriaux, says plainly, qn'il fut na' dc barf-which term, according to the glossary of du Cange, and in the Opinion of learned genealogists, constantly means a natural son; for at this period, bastards were acknowledged according to the rank of their fathers. Monstrelet, there fbre, was not the less noble; and the same John le Robert qualifies him, two lines higher, with the titles of noble man' and esquire,' to which he adds an eulogium, which I shall hereafter mention,-because, at the same time that it does honourto Mon strelet, it confirms the opinion I had formed of his character when attentively reading his work.
