Historical Notes
Summer of 1428... My old bones aren't what they used to be, riding day in, day out, in yet another Chevauchée. But so much has yet to unfold that I need to keep a keen eye and steady hand on history.
Last week, the Burgundians were busy razing minor castles and villages, north of the Loire river, when they ran across the Marshal and his men-at-arms. The Seigneur de Sainte-Sévère has either persuaded his king to issue him a pardon... Or has somehow escaped from the castle in Bourges, where until recently, he was (not
so securely it appears) thought to be locked up.
In any event, the engagement against Sainte- Sévère was as swift as it was brutal...
