To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Venetian Orator, Dandolo, reporting from Savoy at this moment to his govern- ment, writes : " I signify to you how the ill-health of the Duke is known to all, while his memory fails him and his answers are given at random ; Madama [Yolande] governs, and she certainly attends to her words and doings ; if it is lawful to form a judgment in forty-three days, she seemed to me humane, a sagacious lady, and filled with the dignity due to her position ; but she is only a woman. " The disdain expre...ssed in the Orator's concludingwords, " ma & pur donna, " is the more noticeable as circumstances were to emphasise its truth, and to stamp upon Yolande's regency the brand of misfortune for Savoy, and the need through succeeding years for the firm hand and the powerful rule of a man.
Yolande of France 135 In order to maintain the rights claimed by her for her children, Yolande had to keep a sharp lookout on three sides from which danger threatened. On one side was her brother, Louis XI. , the more to be feared since, under the mask of acting as her protector and adviser, he veiled the deepest designs on the state entrusted to her care ; on another side was Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, whose en- mity with Louis induced all who were hostile to that monarch to throw in their lot with the Duke and to swell the ranks of Burgundy into a formidable and numer- ous host ; and lastly, there were her broth- ers-in-law, Philip, Count of Bresse, James, Count of Romont, and John Louis, Bishop of Geneva.
