The university of Paris and many of the good towns of France, Flanders, and even Holland, had sent their deputies thither.

Many bishops were there in person.

The Bishop of Liege came thither with a magnificent train, mounted, says the chroniclers, on two hundred white horses.

The Duke of Burgundy made his entrance on the 30th of July, escorted by three hundred archers wearing his livery.

All the lords who happened to be in the city went to meet him at a league's distance, except the cardinal-legates of the pope, who confined themselves to sending their people.
