Guesclin

Merlin had seen in a vision Sire Bertrand du Guesclin in the guise of a warrior bearing an eagle on his shield.

Du Guesclin and Vercingetorix in particular were, however, a sore trial to them.

"It seems indeed that there are evil times coming upon your country," said Du Guesclin.

"It is over," said Du Guesclin moodily, as he raised her drooping head with his strong brown hand.

Rennes, the ancient capital of Brittany and haunt of the famous Du Guesclin, held much of historic interest.
