Footnotes:
[1] Le Breuil Mingot, not Le Breuil l'Abbesse, which lies south upon the Chauvigny road.
[2] The tops of the steep banks are nearly a hundred feet above the water.
[3] There are to-day three bridges, but in the fourteenth century only one existed, the central one.
[4] "Facing north-east," Fortescue, _History of the British Army_, vol. i.
p. 39. I mention this considerable error for the purposes of correction: Mr Fortescue's history being rightly regarded as the standard text-book of English military history.
[5] "Some fifteen miles," Fortescue, _ibid._ "Seven miles," Oman, _History of Art of War, etc._ Always use a map when you write about battles.
[6] "South-west," Fortescue, _ibid._, p. 38.
[7] It may be presumed upon the a.n.a.logy of surrounding vineyards--though it is not certain--that the cultivation of the vine would cease on the lower slope (since that inclined away from the sun), and was thickest upon the summit of the ridge.
