_"La Branche des réaus Lignages."_--Have any of your correspondents met
with a romance, of which I have a MS. copy, entitled "La Branche des
réaus Lignages?" The MS. I possess is evidently a modern copy, and begins
thus:
"Et tens de celi mandement
Duquel j'ai fait ramembrement
Et qu'aucun homme d'avis oit
Jehan, qui Henaut justisoit
Guerréoit et grevoit yglises
En la garde le roi commises
Ne ... li vouloit faire hommage."
The poem is divided by numbers, probably referring to the pages of the
original: beginning with 1292, and ending with 1307. It is also evident,
from the first verses themselves, that I have only a fragment before
me.--From the _Navorscher_.
