Synopsis
Excerpt from The Chronicles of Enguerrand De Monstrelet, Vol. 12 of 13: Containing an Account of the Cruel Civil Wars Between the Houses of Orleans and Burgundy
But to return to my former subject a general council was demanded by the emperor, and king of France, to the great discontent of the pope. He had broken his faith, by instigating the king of Arra gon, the republic' of Venice, and others, to commence a new war, quitting the chair of Saint Peter for the car of Mars, the god of war, displaying in the held of battle his triple crown, and sleeping in watchtowers. God knows what a sight of crosses, mitres, and sacrai banners, were fluttering in the plains; and the devil took good care not to come near, - for benedictions were given most abundantly, and at the cheapest rates.
