[Footnote 21: Fuller particulars of this tournament may be seen in the

Memoirs of Oliver de la Marche. Philip de Comines tilted with Jerom, of

Cambray; but it is not said that Jerom, in this tilting, bore off the

honour.]

The count de Dammartin was the greatest enemy to sir Charles de Melun,

who once enjoyed the most unbounded power and favour with Louis XI. The

executioner failed in his first attempt to behead him; on which sir

Charles arose and declared himself innocent of the charges laid against

him; but said, that if it was the king's pleasure for him to die, he

was contented, and relaid his head on the block very quietly, when it

was cut off.]
