16. "Le challenge Loys de Brutallis." It is in French, and dated June 16, 1466. fo. 23. This Louis de Brutallisor Bretelles was a Gascon Knight at the court of Edw. IV. and accompanied the Lord Scales to the jubilee in Spain, anno 1473, to whom he lent the work intitled "The dictes and sayings of the philosophers," which his Lordship translated into English, and caused afterwards to be printed by Master Caxton. The challenge is addressed to Messire Jehan de Chassa, a Knight in the service of the Bastard of Burgundy, and is certainly one of the most singular that were ever sent from one person to another. It is not exceeded in extravagance by any thing similar in the volumes that recount the adventures of the Knights of King Arthur's round table, or those of the Emperor Charlemagne, or indeed in any other romance of chivalry. It affords a most curious specimen of the chivalrous spirit and manners of the tunes. Some account of the combat is preserved in the Memoirs of Olivier de la Marche.
