They spread over the city, shouting, "Our Lady of peace! Hurrah for the king! Hurrah for Burgundy! Let all who wish for peace take arms and follow us!" The people swarmed from the houses and followed them accordingly.

The Armagnacs were surprised and seized with alarm.

Tanneguy Duchatel, a man of prompt and resolute spirit, ran to the _dauphin_'s, wrapped him in his bed-clothes, and carried him off to the Bastille, where he shut him up with several of his partisans.

The Count of Armagnac, towards whose house the multitude thronged, left by a back-door, and took refuge at a mason's, where he believed himself secure.

In a few hours the Burgundians were masters of Paris.
