Oh, you're very welcome! Monstrelet is a great source for specifically Burgundian events, but a little dodgy on events taking place in France, especially at that period since the two royal families hated one another, and he's the official Burgundian historian and therefore ideologically compelled to make them look good. ;)

You get the opposite effect later in the century with Philippe de Commynes, who was a prominent member of the Burgundian court, defected to France, and only then wrote his memoirs, so all the Burgundians come off as buffoons.
