	Armagnac - LoveToKnow 1911
		Under the English rule the counts of Armagnac were turbulent and untrustworthy vassals; and the administration of the Black Prince, tending to favour the towns of Aquitaine at the expense of the nobles, drove them to the side of France.
		The complaint against the English prince which Count John I., in defiance of the treaty of Bretigny, himself carried to Paris, was the principal cause of the resumption of hostilities of 1369, and of the incessant defeats sustained by the English until the accession of their king Henry V.
		James of Armagnac, grandson of Bernard VII., was made duke of Nemours in 1462, and was succeeded in the dukedom by his second son, John, who died without issue, and his third son, Louis, in whom the house of Armagnac became extinct in 1503.

		Later, John of Burgundy was sent back to his lands, and Bernard of Armagnac remained in Paris and, some say, in the Queen's bed.
		Sporadic warfare continued between the Armagnacs and Burgundians for a number of years, although after the Burgundians allied themselves with the English in 1419 and the Armagnacs became interlinked with the cause of Charles VII, the factional rivalry was scarcely distinguishable from the Royal dispute between the French and English monarchies.

	H-France Reviews
		Both Duvernoy and Dossat agree that the author of the chronicle was the master William who was rector of the church of Puylaurens in the 1230s and 1240s, a notary to successive bishops of Toulouse who also worked with the Toulouse Inquisition.
		Dossat, however, felt that the William of the Inquisition and the chronicle was too anti-crusade to be a credible chaplain for the son of the count of Toulouse, and argued instead that the chaplain was someone else with the same name.
		A study of the sketchy details of the author’s life contained in the chronicle indicates that there are considerable difficulties--unaddressed by Sibly and Sibly--with Duvernoy’s and Dossat’s identification of master William, rector of Puylaurens, as the chronicler.
