Memoires of Jacques du Clercq

This is a translation of the 'Memoires of Jacques du Clercq', published in 1823 in two volumes, edited by Frederic, Baron de Reissenberg. In his introduction Reissenberg writes: 'Jacques du Clercq tells us that he was born in 1424, and that he was a licentiate in law and a counsellor to Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, in the castellany of Douai, Lille, and Orchies. It appears that he established his residence at Arras. In 1446, he married the daughter of Baldwin de la Lacherie, a gentleman who lived in Lille. We read in the fifth book of his Memoirs that his father, also named Jacques du Clercq, had married a lady of the Le Camelin family, from Compiègne. His ancestors, always attached to the counts of Flanders, had constantly served them, whether in their councils or in their armies.' The Memoires cover a period of nineteen years beginning in in 1448, ending in in 1467. It appears that the author had intended to extend the Memoirs beyond that date; no doubt illness or death prevented him from carrying out this plan. As Reissenberg writes the 'merit of this work lies in the simplicity of its narrative, in its tone of good faith, and in a certain air of frankness which naturally wins the reader’s confidence.' Du Clercq ranges from events of national and international importance, including events of the Wars of the Roses in England, to simple, everyday local events such as marriages, robberies, murders, trials and deaths, including that of his own father in Book 5; one of his last entries.

Condes de Barcelona by Masearo Volume 2. From his second marriage to Doña Leonor of Portugal. Without children.

Hardly had the King been widowed by Doña Maria when he immediately arranged his second marriage with Doña Leonor [aged 20], a princess of noble qualities, daughter of King Alfonso IV and Queen Beatriz, monarchs of Portugal. Despite the significant obstacles raised by the King of Castile, an avowed enemy of the King of Aragon, in an attempt to thwart this union, the marriage nevertheless took place in the city of Barcelona, where the new queen arrived by sea on November 15 of the same year that her predecessor, Doña Maria, had died. However, the King suffered the sorrow of losing this second wife to pestilence at the end of October [30th October 1348] the following year, 1348, without her leaving any offspring. She died in the city of Teruel, where the royal couple happened to be due to the extension of the Cortes and the disputes and unrest with Castile and the supporters of the Union, which eventually led to the bloodiest of wars.

The Queen's body was later taken to Poblet and rests in the same tomb as her husband, according to Finestres.

De Segundas Nupcias Con Doña Leonor De Portugal. Sin Hijos.

Apenas enviudó el Rey de D.ª Maria contrató inmediatamente su segundo enlace con D. Leonor , princesa de altas prendas , hija de D. Alfonso IV y de D.ª Beatriz monarcas de Portugal¹ , y a pesar de los grandes obstáculos que opuso el rey de Castilla , enemigo declarado del de Aragon , para frustrar este casamiento , se efectuó no obstante la union conyugal en la ciudad de Barcelona , donde llegó por mar la nueva Reina el dia 15 de noviembre del mismo año de la muerte de su antecesora D.ª Maria ; pero el Rey tuvo el disgusto de perder esta segunda esposa de pestilencia á fines de octubre del siguiente año de 1548 , sin que le dejase fruto alguno de sucesion , en la ciudad de Teruel donde se hallaban casualmente los dos esposos con motivo de la prorrogacion de córtes y de las desavenencias y disturbios con Castilla y los partidarios de la Union , que acabaron en la mas sangrienta guerra.

El cadaver de la Reina fué conducido despues á Poblet , y descansa en el mismo sepulcro que su esposo segun Finestres².
