When the news of his death was known in Dauphiny, I trow that never for a thousand years died there gentleman of the country mourned in such sort.

He was borne from church to church, at first near Grenoble, where all my lords of the parliament court of Dauphiny, my lords of the Exchequer, pretty well all the nobles of the country and the greater part of all the burgesses, townsfolk, and villagers came half a league to meet the body: then into the church of Notre-Dame, in the aforesaid Grenoble, where a solemn service was done for him; then to a house of _Minimes,_ which had been founded aforetime by his good uncle the bishop of Grenoble, Laurens Alment; and there he was honorably interred.

Then every one withdrew to his own house; but for a month there was a stop put to festivals dances, banquets, and all other pastimes.

'Las! they had good reason; for greater loss could not have come upon the country." [_Histoire du bon Chevalier sans Peur et sans Reproche,_ t.ii.
