It is one of the copies made by the English secretaries at Bretigny (near Chartres) for the use of the King of England (who here, as may be remarked, drops the title of King of France), and must have been carried back by Edward's officers to London on his return. When it passed out of the archives we cannot know.-About 1550 it belonged to a Londoner: "iste libare constat Robarte Beauschamp drap. de Londris," an inscription to which another has added the words "a teylour. Above this is a distinct inscription "The preyse of the buke is xxvi ob. qa." After this it fell into the hands of Claude (Fauchet), and at a later period of the Abbé de Clapeyron. Of these two names everything except the word Claude has been erased. Their full forms must consequently have been derived from an old description, probably the one to be found in Le Long's Bibliothèque Historique de la France. An original document dealing with the King of France, the King of England, the Black Prince, and David Stuart King of Scotland, is one of supreme interest. 1671 ELLIS (Henry).
