§ 115. CCCXXX. The Pope resolved to go to France, and Preside in a Council, which he did, at Rhemes: But many Nobles and Bishops told the King that it was an usurpation and a Novelty and would enslave his Kingdom: The King forbade him, yet the Pope came whether the King would or not; And the King went away about his military affairs, and some Bishops with him, and others stayed.
