[Footnote 8:  Toutey, p. 53.]

[Footnote 9:  Toutey bases this statement on three letters (October 30, 31, and November 7, 1473) written by the envoys of the elector of Brandenburg, Ludwig von Eyb and Hertnid von Stein.]

[Footnote 10:  Basin, Histoire des regnes de Charles VII. et de Louis XI., ii., 323.  Between Nov. 6th and this ceremony there had been new ruptures.  Hugonet had gone back and forth many times between the chiefs and “all the world had wondered.”]

[Footnote 14:  In this account, differing from the current tradition, Toutey has followed Bachmann’s conclusions (Deutsche Reichsgeschichte, ii., 435).]

[Footnote 16:  Preserved in the municipal archives in Frankfort (nr. 5808 or ch. lit. clausa c. sig in verso impr.).  This is published by Karl Schellhass in Deutsche Zeitschrift fuer Geschichtewissenschaft, (1891) pp. 80-85.  The language is a queer mixture of German and Latin.]

[Footnote 17:  Charles asked on October 23d, through his chancellor, for investiture into Savoy. (Note by Schellhass.)]

[Footnote 18:  Under this head is meant Lorraine, which he alleged had lapsed to the emperor at the death of Nicholas of Calabria.]

[Footnote 19:  This means the throne from which Charles was to step down to receive the fief.]

[Footnote 20:  “Loquitur etiam ferunt de regnis Frisiae et Burgundiae sibi constituendes quae audissimis auribus accepta visus non tam negare imperator quam dissimulare.

“Nam et ad eam [majestatem regiam] aspirare et ditiones suas velle in duo regna partiri visue Burgundiae et Frisiae:  in hoc Hollandia, Zelandia, Gelria, Brabantia, Limburgum, Namureum, Hannonia et dioceses Leodiensis, Cameracensis et Trajectina:  altero Burgundia, Luxemburgum, Arthesia, Flandria, ecclesaeque cathedrales Sadunensis, Tullensis Verdunensis essent.” (P. 1131.)

Renier Snoy was born the year of Charles’s death, so that his statement is tradition but founded on what he might have heard from eye-witnesses.]
