ANST - War

[Dale, Richard N]

You may be right I may lie down in in what was french soil when I have
passed away. However my grave will be on english soil at the catherdral at
Rhemes where all past French kings have been made and buried.

But I shall outlive you my dear Marshall!

In fact I shall save a spot for you, in a paupers grave.
Edward III

 

Votre Majesté, 

vous pouvez avoir une partie de la France - six pieds par trois pieds. 

Jean le Maingre, dit Maréchal Boucicault 
en service à sa Majesté Charles, Roi de la France  

For Edward and other uneducated persons I provide the following translation:

Your Majesty,

You may indeed have a portion of France - six feet by 3 feet.

Jean le Maingre, Marshal Boucicault
in service to His Majesty Charles, King of France
