	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.

		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.

	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.
