Account of the declaration of war made by Francis i of France and Henry viii of England against the Emperor Charles v at Bourges
A full and interesting account of the declaration of war made by Francis i of France and Henry viii of England against the Emperor Charles v at Bourges, Jan. 22-27, 1527/8, in French: compiled at the emperor's command by Jehan L'Alemand.
This is apparently an original, or at least a copy certified by the signatures of L'Alemand (once), Guyenne roi d'armes and (Thomas Benolte) Clarencieux king of arms (twice each). It is endorsed 'Themperors Answer to Guyen & Clarencieux kynges at Armys etc.' (referring to part of the document), in a hand stated to be, and not unlike, that of cardinal Wolsey.
Some modern notes, extracts and translations bearing on the paper follow at fol. 22, chiefly in the hand of mr. Waller, London autograph dealer, who owned the document in 1865.
(fol. 21) is an original letter from Louvet de La Somme to citizen Martigne, recommending citizen Duchesne for promotion, dated Paris 27 Prairial an 4 (= June 15, 1796), countersigned by Goulhot.
