Charles, exasperated beyond all bounds, marched against Liege. On his arrival, 300 of the burghers came forth, imploring mercy and offering him the keys of the town. He spared their lives, but only on the condition that he was to enter the town and there dictate his own terms. This condition was accepted, and Charles rode in. The Bishop of Liege and Cardinal La Balue, the Ambassador of Louis XL, were with him. On one side of the street stood the burghers, and on the other the priests, all as pe...nitents, with heads uncovered and torches in their hands. Charles dismounted at the Bishop's palace, where, a few days later, in the pre- sence of a vast assemblage of people, he pronounced sentence on the town and Principality of Liege. Most of the privileges which had been granted from time to time since the charter of Albert de Cuyck were abolished. An appeal from the civil LE ROCHER^BAYARD.
