Description
Excerpt from At Agincourt: A Tale of the White Hoods of Paris The long and bloody feud between the houses of Orleans and Burgundy - which for many years devastated France, caused a prodigious destruction Of life and property, and was not even relaxed in the presence of a common enemy - is very fully recorded in the pages of Monstrellet and other contem porary historians. I have here only attempted to relate the events of the early portion Of the struggle - from its commence ment up to the astonishing victory of Agincourt, won by a handful of Englishmen over the chivalry of France. Here the two factions, with the exception of the Duke of Bur gundy himself, laid aside their differences for the moment, only to renew them while France still lay prostrate at the feet of the English conqueror. At this distance Of time, even with all the records at one's disposal, it is difficult to say which party was most to blame in this disastrous civil war, a war which did more to cripple the power of France than was ever accomplished by Eng lish arms. Unquestionably 3urgundy was the first to enter upon the struggle, but the terrible vengeance taken by the Armagnacs, - as the Orleanists came to he called, - for the murders committed by the mob of Paris in alliance with him.
