Footnotes:
[1] Le Breuil Mingot, not Le Breuil l’Abbesse, which lies south upon the Chauvigny road.
[2] The tops of the steep banks are nearly a hundred feet above the water.
[3] There are to-day three bridges, but in the fourteenth century only one existed, the central one.
[4] “Facing north-east,” Fortescue, History of the British Army, vol. i. p. 39. I mention this considerable error for the purposes of correction: Mr Fortescue’s history being rightly regarded as the standard text-book of English military history.
[5] “Some fifteen miles,” Fortescue, ibid. “Seven miles,” Oman, History of Art of War, etc. Always use a map when you write about battles.
[6] “South-west,” Fortescue, ibid., p. 38.
[7] It may be presumed upon the analogy of surrounding vineyards—though it is not certain—that the cultivation of the vine would cease on the lower slope (since that inclined away from the sun), and was thickest upon the summit of the ridge.
