	League of the Public Weal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The League of the Public Weal was an alliance of feudal nobles organized in 1465 in defiance of the centralized authority of the French King, Louis XI, masterminded by Charles the Bold, Count of Charolais, son of the Duke of Burgundy, with the king's brother Charles, Duke of Berry,as a figurehead.
		But this centralization was opposed by the League of Public Weal, whose nobles sought to restore their feudal prerogatives.
		Charles the Bold, as heir to the duke of Burgundy, whose fiefs in France included Flanders, and who held the imperial lands of Holland and Brabant, aspired to forge a kingdom of his own in between France and Germany, approximating the former domains of the Frankish Emperor Lothair I.

		To be sure, Robert d’Estouteville was a good soldier, had loyally raised his banner for the King against the “League of the Public Weal,” and on the entry of the Queen into Paris in 14—had presented her with a wonderful stag composed of confectionery.
		Having then ruminated well on Quasimodo’s case, he threw back his head and half-closed his eyes, by way of extra dignity and impartiality, with the result that, for the moment, he was both blind and deaf—a twofold condition without which no judge is really perfect.
		A dignity to which is attached no little power in dealing with the public safety, together with many prerogatives and rights.

		Henri de Vulcop, who was not part of the ducal household, is in all probability identifiable with the MASTER OF COËTIVY (see MASTERS, ANONYMOUS, AND MONOGRAMMISTS, §I), whose pronounced Netherlandish style is noticeably different from that of the Master of Charles of France.
		Guillemer, whose name does not figure in extant ducal accounts, has been loosely connected with Charles’s patronage from judicial interrogations in Tours to which he submitted in late January 1472; Louis XI’s investigator, Tristan l’Ermite, suspected the artist of spying for the League of the Public Weal headed by Charles of France.
		In his testimony, however, Guillemer claimed to have been illuminator to Charles d’Anjou, Comte de Maine (uncle and godfather of Charles of France), and to have sought Anjou’s recommendation so that he might be granted a commission by Charles of France for a Breviary.

		Louis would have far less excuse to act in this manner if the male line of the Burgundian House hadn't died out.
