Notes.
Louis of Bourbon, Count of Vendôme, lent
the King of France twenty thousand gold crowns; the County of Chartres was
promised to him as collateral for this sum, as evidenced by a letter dated from
Poitiers in the month of April 1425. The Count of Vendôme, authorizing
himself by this promise, sometimes took the title of Count of Chartres, but it
can be disputed that he had the right to do so, because Chartres never was given
to him as an appanage; he never created officers there, never did justice go
there in his name, never finally did he enjoy the prerogatives of the seigniory.
The promise of engagement, made when the city was in the power of the English,
was probably never carried out [24: tome II (1858); p.77].
