On the Society's site, there is a brief account of Edward IV's 1475 French campaign, written by Livia Visser-Fuchs. She wrote:

a German eyewitness recorded that 'on the Thursday, 31 August, the two brothers of the king of England came to Amiens and dined with the king in the morning'.

I'd like to find where she found this, and none of her sources cited are obvious choices.

Anyone here know?

Hi AJ I can help a bit by excluding Ross. He relies on Commines, who though he says a lot about the partying at Amiens doesn't mention the brothers until he says that Richard didn't attend the bridge ceremony. I find the term 'German' a bit odd for the fifteenth century. Sorry can't help any more H

Thanks Hilary. It's not Barnard or Scofield either.

Wherever he was from precisely, German could well have been his native language, and if they actually talked in Latin, it wouldn't have been necessary to delve down further. German was spoken from the Baltic to Vienna, though the details of Hochdeutsch - the non-dialect language - would have changed as one moved around.

Best wishes
