Transcriber’s Notes:
The original punctuation, spelling and hyphenation has been retained, except for a small number of apparent printer’s errors.
The original accentuation has been retained except for:
Crecy changed to Crécy
and
Grosstete changed to Grosstête
for consistency with other occurrences.
There are some instances of Norman French, for example in Footnote 129; these have been left as printed.
