Description

Excerpt from The History of Comines, Vol. 1: Englished by Thomas Danett While imprisonment crippled his talent for intrigue, his wife moved heaven and earth for her husband's enlargement, and at last won him permission to plead his cause in Paris, where disgrace forbade him to find an advocate. But he was not one to fail for lack of eloquence, and so well did he defend himself - though his service needed no embellish ment - that he found not only freedom but an honourable employ. He attended Charles vm. In his journey to Italy, and faithfully recorded the triumphs and failures of the expedition. He was no less resolute in his devotion to the King who had imprisoned him in a loathsome dungeon than to the King who had advanced him to be his chamber lain. But the journey to Italy was his last exploit; the remaining years of his life were devoted' to an honourable leisure and the composition of his Memoires; and when he died - in 1509 - he was not only the father-in-law of Rene de Bretagne, Comte de Penthlevre, Vicomte de Bridiers, Sieur de Boussac, but the foremost historian of France to boot.
