BAYARD?
Of all the chivalrous knights who have ever ridden forth to war, the Chevalier de Bayard may justly be described as the Prince and exemplar of them all.
Born in 1473, he won his spurs when only twenty-two at the Battle of Fornova, where hegained his knighthood. Thereafter he achieved mighty fame against the Spaniards, the Genoese, and the Venetians. Taken prisoner in the war against Henry VIII of Eng- land; he was soon released, and later created Governor of Dauphine by Francis L. At the Battle of Marignan he won such a atupendous victory, for his liege that the young king himself asked to receive the honour of knighthood at his hands. Further famous standa and victories followed until 1542, when Bayard was mortai- ly wounded while defending the passage of the. Sesia" against the Milanese.
Although so formidable a man of war, Bayard was never- theless tender and kindly of disposition, loyal to the death, almple human and magnanim ous pre-eminently the knight: without fear and without; "res proach."N
The life of Bayard was writ Len by his secretary, and there are three or four first class English translations.
