To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A list was made of about two hundred names, in which we find, *• perayriers, sabattiers, marchans, tixerans, bourgeois, notaires . . . " with notes in the margin, "bad, very bad, " and often what they were guilty of. Word is to be left for future governors that, if traitors return, *'d'icy a vingt ans, qu'ils leur facent trancher les testes. " This command brings out very strongly one point in the character of Louis : the cold, stern cruelty with which he can give a command like this, which he ...probably thought needful for the security of Per- pignan. We shall see the same feeling in his treat- ment of a sedition at Bourges, when a tax was levied upon the inhabitants at this time, for the repair of their fortifications and other municipal ex- penses. The King believed that it had a political meaning, as several old adherents of the Duke of Guienne had been found in the city. A commission was sent to try the rebels and a company of archers to see that the sentences were carried out. The dis- turbances had broken out on Saturday, April 23, 204 SIEGE OF NEUSS 1474, amongst certain "folons, vignerons boulangers, et autres gens de mestier, " and they had beaten and mutilated \he procureur of the King, the "honour- able and wise maistre Philipes Bouer, " and they had also murdered maistre Francoys Lesguillier, who was with the said procuretir that day.
