[Footnote 63: This Oriental pomp is extravagant in a count
of Vermandois; but the patriot Ducange repeats with much
complacency (Not. ad Alexiad. p. 352, 353. Dissert. xxvii.
sur Joinville, p. 315) the passages of Matthew Paris (A.D.
1254) and Froissard, (vol. iv. p. 201,) which style the king
of France rex regum, and chef de tous les rois Chretiens.]
