Such as I have related was the laft will of Geoffry Tête-noir, who only lived two days more, and *was buried in the chapel of Saint George in Ventadour. AH his legacies were paid, and the overplus divided among them ac-cording to his orders, and Alleyn Roux with his brother Peter were obeyed as governors of the caftle.
The blockade, however, was not for this raifed, nor were the fkirmiflies lefs frequent. The French knights and fquires of Auvergne and Limoufin were rejoiced at the death of Geoffry Tête-noir, and were not fo much afraid of thofe he had left behind, for he had been a moft active and fuccefsful captain in war and in forming garrifons.
We will how return to the duke of Gueldres for a ftiort time, and fay what befel him at this feafon; having already mentioned the trouble he had given to the king of France and his uncles, by forcing them to march to the bor-ders of his country, and then to return without doing him any confiderable damage.
