² Nothing is known of William Zeman, a butcher in the regent's service, who had lived in France long enough to have been at the battle of Verneuil in August 1424, for which he was rewarded with the lands upon which the moneys sought from him were said to be charged.

⁴ Guiot les Lormiers was a mercer (ibid., p. 256); Guillaume was presumably his brother.

⁵ Perhaps the Jean Chandellier who was a procureur at the Châtelet in 1421 (ibid., p. 215).

⁶ Guillaume le Due was appointed third président of the Parlement in February 1432.

⁷ Robert Piedefer became first président in February 1433.

⁸ All those listed here were conseillers in the Parlement.

⁹ Henry V had decreed that lands given away by the crown were granted liable to debt, unless otherwise stated, but were to be regarded as free of all ‘debtes mobiliaires’ (B.L., Add. MS 21411, fo. 9r). See no I, n. 8, and III, n. 44 for other instances of this situation.

¹¹ Jean Luillier was replaced as conseiller du roi in the chambre des Enquêtes in May 1403 (Nicholas de Baye, i, 66–7Google Scholar) and became a conseiller in the Parlement in March 1414 (ibid., ii, 177–9). Later he worked as an avocat in the Parlement and was acting as such at the time of the expulsion of the English from Paris in April 1436 (Fauquembergue, passim).

¹² The battle of Verneuil was fought on 17 August 1424.

¹³ One Guillaume de Tuillières, merchant, was living in Paris in March 1423 (Favier, , Contribuables parisiens, p. 257Google Scholar. See also Longnon, , Paris, pp. 24–5Google Scholar). The value of Zeman's grant is given here as 60 (lx) livres; in the entry for 20 March 1432 it is recorded as 40 (xl) livres. 60 livres is correct (see p. 278).

¹⁴ Mathieu Hola was one of those rewarded in March 1422 for helping to deliver Paris to the Burgundians in May 1418 (Longnon, , Paris, p. 34Google Scholar, and n. 1).

²³ Robert de Tuillières, royal councillor, brother of Guillaume, had been a strong supporter of the Orléanist party. He was lieutenant-criminel of the prévôt of Paris by 1404, and took part with Pierre I'Orfèvre in the enquiry into the death of Louis of Orléans in 1407. He was treasurer of France 1409–15, and was among those murdered by Burgundian supporters in Paris on 12 June 1418 (Bourgeois, p. 93, n. 1Google Scholar; Chroniques du roi Charles VII, p. 23Google Scholar and n. 4).
