CHARLES VII (1403-1461)
L.S. "Charles de Baude", Saint-Dié 24 April 1445, to "treshault très excellant puissant prince et tresredoubté Seigneur le Roy" CHARLES VII| 1 page oblong in-4 on paper, address on verso (repairs to edges and back).
After the rout of the army of the Dauphin Louis at the Val de Lièpvre and the theft of the royal artillery. To rid France of the armed bands, which had become useless after the peace of Tours with England,
Charles VII had sent in the autumn of 1444 his son the Dauphin (future
Louis XI) at the head of an army of roadmen or "Écorcheurs" to fight the Helvetic Confederates who were threatening in Germany and in
Alsace the interests of the Emperor of Austria, and to lead an expedition against Basel| In November, the Dauphin had put his artillery in storage with the Marquis of Baden, at the castle of Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines. In the spring of 1445, having decided to evacuate Alsace, the Dauphin's army headed for Lorraine, when a column was savagely attacked and robbed in the Lièpvre valley, at Musloch, on 20 March, by Alsatians who were thus taking revenge for the terrible exactions they had had to suffer. Strengthened by their success, they seized the castle of Sainte-Croix and the French artillery]. The marquis replied to Charles VII's letter written from Nancy on April 4, 1445 (see Aristophil sale 19, no. 1007). He protests his innocence and asks the King to grant "a letter of seurté in the person of my Bailiff and other members of my hostel up to the number of twenty persons and horses for those who are sent to your majesty to propose the truth of the matter, and to have them command your good pleasures at all times, in order for them to carry out their duties with the utmost respect for my power"
