But where were his associates, who only two months ago had formed this treaty, having pertinaciously refused to accept of other terms, and made the cession of Normandy the sine qua non of an arrangement with the king ? The duke of Brittany, who had been selected as Charles's guardian and protector, was now estranged from him. The duke of Bourbon, who, at the time of the negotiations, had warned his allies to put no trust in Louis, for, whatever conditions he might submit to, he would assuredly ...break them, was now assisting in the ful filment of his own prophecy. The count of Charo- lais, to whose resolution and superior resources the king had chiefly owed his defeat, was now at a dis tance, exerting his "invincible power" against another enemy. While at Saint-Trond he received an embassy from Charles of France urgently soliciting assistance. 14 But neither the state of his operations nor the con dition of his army allowed him to think of interfering by force; 15 and he was therefore obliged to content himself with sending envoys to the king, with a letter beseeching him to "take in good part" the represen tations which they were instructed "in all humility" to make.
