Tbe rivalry of Charles tbe Bold with Ixroia tho B_venth ia the central point in hiB career.

It proved to be no light or My -rnit. The fature warrior gave eurly aigns lat tbe impetnonfl blood of his ancestors flowed in IB reina. He displayed not only a natural vehe BEice of tetnper, but a aingular ponuttency of ?D which aeemed to mark him out for laboriotis BbJi'i-iaea. Hia power of application was uncom BM. He aequired a k-Bak larger abaro of the Brning of the age than waa usual with porsons of abie birth.
