Lionel's Remaining Life 89 



whereupon, after some fine skirmishes, Amedeo VI and his 

 company went to SavigHano to pass the night, and thereupon each 

 division went home. FiHppo, being judicially condemned in 

 December of that year, was publicly drowned in one of the three 

 small lakes near Ayigliana, by order of Amedeo {Cron. Saluz.), 

 while his brother ruled till 1402.^ So we see Lionel, having left 

 Alba in the August heats, repairing on horseback to SavigHano, 

 and thence to Fossano, on Aug. 15, to pitch camp against the 

 following day; from Fossano returning to Savigliano for the 

 night, and so back to Fossano, arrayed in armor for the tourney- 

 ing, and once more, after the fruitless preparations, going back 

 to lodge at Savigliano. 



® The two authorities are the chronicles of Savoy and Saluzzo. The 



former runs {M. H. P. 3 (Script, i). 320-321) : 



'En soussi furent messire Philippe de Savoye et le marquis Frederich 

 de Saluces quant sentirent venir le comte contre eulx, car ilz navoyent 

 que pou de gens darmes, et, pour rompre la chevauchie du conte, 

 messire Philippe luy manda ung herault, disant que sil osoit combattre 

 sa querelle luy cinquante hommes darmes, que luy a tout aultres 

 cinquante le combateroit corps a corps en la gallee fvallee?] entre 

 Saluces et Escarnefis a un jour qui nomma. Entendant le conte les 

 parolles du herault, respondit : "Vatant a ton maistre, et luy dist que 

 a layde de Dieu je seray au lieu et en la place au jour que tu dis, 

 accompaignie moy cinquantieme de hommes darmes pour combatre 

 corps a corps noz querelles." A celle responce sen tourna le herault; 

 et le conte, accompagne du due de Clerance, du marquis de Monferra, 

 et des gens de messire Galliache, ensemble les cinquante hommes 

 darmes, vindrent devant Fossan, en requirant que le gage se tenist 

 entreulx comme il estoit ordonne. Mais messire Philippe refusa la 

 bataille et la promesse qui avoit faitte; le refus estre fait, eut la 

 de belles escarmuches, qui durerent tout le jour de deux pars, et vers 

 la nuyt le conte et sa compaignie se partirent de devant Fossan, et 

 se alia logier a Savillian, et le due de Clerance, le marquis de Mon- 

 ferra, et les gens de messire Galliace se retrayrent en leur pays. Et 

 apres ne demoura gueyres que messire Philippe de Savoye fut mort, 

 dont le pays de Piemont resta en grant pacifficacion.' 



The latter is as follows (M. H. P., pp. 1014-5) : 



*A IS di Augusto esso Conte Ame dy Savoya cum exercito, una 

 cum el Marchexe dy Monferrato e la gente soa, e missere Lioneto 

 dy Angleterra (el quale ancora non era morto, ma mory quelo anno), 

 • andorono a Saviglano, poy de ly a Fosano, per piantarly el campo. 

 Pur tornorono quelo giorno medemo a Saviglano, cum lo exercito 

 loro. Poy, il giorno da presso, tornorono tuty a Fosano, dove era 

 el signer Philipo, fratello del Principe dy Achaya.'
