Excerpt from Die Armagnaken im Elsass, 1439-1445
Englands schlug, als selbst Paris lieber König Heinrich von England als den König von Bourges innerhalb seiner Mauern sehen wollte, da waren die Armagnaken die alleinigen Ver kämpfer für Frankreichs Unabhängigkeit; alles war Armagnac, das auf Seite des Dauphin, des späteren Königs Karl VII., focht, und so haflete dieser Name auch an den Söldnern, mit denen der König seine Schlachten schlug, nachdem der Graf vun Armagnac selbst schon längst zu seinen Vätern gegangen war.
