_The Black Prince._--In Sir S. R. Meyrick's _Inquiry into Ancient Armour_,

vol. ii. p. 18., he quotes Froissart as observing, after his account of the

battle of Poictiers, "Thus did Edward the Black Prince, now doubly dyed

black by the terror of his arms." I have sought in vain for this passage,

or anything resembling it, in Johnes's translation, nor can I find anywhere

this appellation as applied by Froissart to his favourite hero. Can the

passage be an interpolation of Lord Berners?
