King Charles VI. Of France against the English, and where he is described as dressed in deep mourning for his father, the Conte Verde, whose death had oc curred that same year in Apulia. The French monarch, on receiving the news of the birth of a son to Amadeus, begged him to doff his sables and to array him self in more festive garb. Count Ama deus could find no excuse for refusing, the thought of his own fatherhood must have softened his grief and caused him to rejoice over his son's birth.
