About this book
The book is titled Pictures of the Old French Court. The title page names Jeanne de Bourbon, Isabeau de Bavière and Anne de Bretagne. The preface says an earlier book tried, from records of the first half of the fourteenth century, to give some idea of the court and social conditions of France at that time, and also of the first three Valois Queens.
Charles and Louis were brought up together at the hôtel St. Paul in an atmosphere of flattery, folly, and corruption, which the text calls eventually fatal to them both. The text names Messire Hue de Chasteillon, seigneur de Dampierre, master of the crossbowmen, who carried a candle in his hand. The Queen, Jehanne d'Evreux, is named as carrying the said child in her arms.
