PLATE XXIV.
THE EARL OF FLANDERS SOLICITING AID OF CHARLES VI. OF FRANCE.
The Earl of Flanders, finding his own force insufficient to cope with his revolted subjects, sought the aid of the young Charles the Sixth of France, whose assistance, readily granted, led to the defeat of the Flemings, and the death of Philip Van Artevelde, at the famous battle of Rosbecque. The Illumination represents the Earl soliciting the aid of the King of France at Peronne, where the interview took place.
