INTRODUCTION
    That courtesy title which flies to the mind whenever the name Bayard is    mentioned—"The Good Knight without Fear and without Reproach"—is no fancy    name bestowed by modern admirers, but was elicited by the hero's merits in    his own day and from his own people.
    The most valuable chronicle of the Good Knight's life and deeds was written    with charming simplicity by a faithful follower, who, in single-hearted    devotion to his beloved master's fame, took no thought for himself, but    blotted out his own identity, content to remain for all time a nameless    shadow—merely the LOYAL SERVITOR. It is from his record that the incidents    in the following pages are retold.
    The "Loyal Servitor" is now believed from recent research to have been    Jacques de Mailles, his intimate friend and companion-at-arms, probably his    secretary. He certainly learnt from Bayard himself the story of his early    years, which he tells so delightfully, and he writes with the most minute    detail about the later events which happened in his presence, and the    warlike encounters in which he himself took part; and a most vivid and    interesting account he makes of it. In an ancient catalogue of the Mazarine    Library, his book is first set down as the Histoire du Chevalier Bayard,    par Jacques de Mailles, Paris, in 4to, 1514 (probably a mistake for 1524).    The better-known edition, with only the name of the "Loyal Servitor," was    published in 1527, under the title of
    THE VERY JOYFUL AND VERY DELIGHTFUL
    HISTORY
    OF THE LIFE, THE HEROIC DEEDS, THE TRIUMPHS
