3V cotint d’Evreux was the principal, and he had in his company four knights bachelor. ' King Philip le long appointed him, with feveral other lords, one of the executors of his will, dated the 26th day of Auguft 1321. In the year 1323, when the marriage of Henry IV. count of Bar* * * §, with the eldefl daughter of John king of Bohemia, was agreed to, he was one of the fureties for the count of Bar f duly performing the articles of the contrat, with Philip count of Mans, and Matthew de Trie, marfhal of France; as he was like wife at the fentence pafïèd by king Charles the fair, in the difpute between this king and the count by a deed of the 28th of May. In the year 1325, he was one of the fureties of Robert de Bourgogne count of Tonnerre, when he was made prifoner by Guignes VI. dauphin of the Viennois §. This fame year he furrendered, by a deed figned at Paris in November to king Charles, four hundred livres of annual rent paid by the towns of Chantemerle and Borbonne, which king Louis Hutin had given him for his life |[. I cannot find any thing relative to him from this period until the year 1335, when king Philip de Valois commiflioned him, with the count d’Eu, conftable, and the lord de Briquebec, marfhal of France^], to receive the men at arms that were to accompany him in his expedition to the holy land. This proves he was in great credit, and of the higheft rank at court, which is alfo confirmed the enfuing year by the king having named him to afïift at the treaty of alliance which was concluded at Paris between him and Ferdinand, king of Caflille, by Ferdinand Sanchez, a cafhllian knight, ambaffador on the part of king Ferdinand, and Robert Bertrand, marihal of France, on the part of king Philip, the 27th day of December. * Tréfor.
