him. The earls, vifcounts, barons, knights and lords of Gafcony came thither to pay their • refpeftsJ to him : all of whom he received in fo gracious and pleafmg a manner, that every one was contented. Even the count de Foix came to vifit him, whom the prince and princefs received moft honorably, and treated him magnificently, A peace was at this time concluded between him and the count d'Ar-magnac, with whpm there had been a continual warfare for a very confiderable time. The lord John Chandos was foon after appointed conftable of all Guienne, and fir Guifcard d'Angle marfhal. . The prince thus provided for the knights of his own country and his houfehold, particularly thofe he loved moft, with thefe noble and handfome offices, which were at his difpofal in the duchy of Aquitaine. He nominated to all his ftewartries and bailiwicks knights from England, who kept up greater ftate and magnificence than the inhabitants of the country could have wiflied : but things did not go according to their defires. We will now leave the prince and princefs of Wales, to fpeak of king John of France, who at this time was at Ville-neuve d'Avignon. CHAP. 102
