250Galiffe, Matériaux , ii. p. 274. M. Galiffe refers this letter to the year 1517, at the time of Pécolat’s trial; but it is clear from the contents and from the Council Registers of May 24, 1519, that it belongs to the time of which we are speaking.

251This château still exists, and is inhabited, I believe, by the Marquis de Dovaine.

252Grolée is now in the department of Ain. Savyon, Annales , p. 89. Bonivard, Chroniq. ii. p. 353. ‘Notice’ by Chaponnière, Mém. d’Archéol. iv. p. 54. Bonivard MSS.

258The Registers of the Council state, under the date of Tuesday , Aug. 23, that the arrest was made on this day; Bonivard speaks of Monday , at six o’clock. The arrest may have taken place on Monday night, but we have followed the Registers, whose accuracy should be superior to Bonivard’s, who was absent from Geneva.

268Compare the Council Registers of Aug. 23, 1519, and 1526. M. Galiffe junior had already pointed out this mistake of Bonivard’s. Besançon Hugues , p. 245.
