¹ Guillaume Rose was an avocat in the Parlement. In 1418 he served as ‘lieutenant du maistre des eaues et forests’, work which he continued to carry out in the following year with orders to see that wood in and around Paris was sold at a reasonable price (Fauquembergue, i, 207–8, 217–18, 221–3, 273, 320Google Scholar). In September 1418 he refused to act as one of the commissioners appointed to deal with the excesses committed by the Armagnacs and their supporters, on the grounds that such a body would diminish the authority of the Parlement (ibid., i, 164). In February 1420 he was among the envoys sent to Henry V to obtain a renewal of the truce (ibid., i, 349).

³ Easter, in 1425, was on 8 April.

⁹ Meaux, Seine-et-Marne. Besieged by Henry V for many months, terms for the capitulation of the Marché, the stronghold, were agreed on 2 May 1422 (Foedera, x, 212 seq). On 14 May 1422 Charles VI, ‘par l'advis de nostre dit fils’ (Henry V) granted letters of remission to the inhabitants of Meaux reserving to them ‘leurs biens meubles qu'ils orit de present et aussi leurs maisons, terres, rentes, possessions et heritaiges quelsconques estans en nostre royaulme et seigneuriequi n'auroient esté donnés (A.N., JJ 172, no 98). From this act it appears that goods and property of the former rebels may have been granted away prior to the pardon. On 25 October 1425 other letters of remission were issued to a number of defenders and inhabitants of the Marché (ibid, JJ 173, no 405), but no names of persons referred to in this lawsuit occur among the recipients.
