THE NAME MARTEL.

I must confess that the article in No. 6. p. 86., which deprived Charles
Martel of his long-possessed distinction of "the hammerer" gave me but
little satisfaction. It was one of those old associations that one does
not like to have destroyed. I could not, however, contradict your
correspondents; and remained that very uncomfortable person, "a man
convinced against his will." On turning over my Menagiana, yesterday, I
stumbled upon the name "Martel," and, as the passage combines both your
elements (being a good note, and producing a query) I beg leave to offer
it to you.

"Dans le ll'me siecle les proces se faisaient aux vassaux par
leurs Pairs, c'est-a-dire, par leurs convassaux, et toute sorte
de proces se font encore presentement en Angleterre a toutes
sortes d'accuses par leurs Pairs, c'est-a-dire, par des
personnes de leur meme etat et de leur meme condition, a la
reserve des Bourreaux et des Bouchers, qui, a cause de leur
cruaute ne sont point juges. _Geoffroi Martel_, Comte d'Anjou,
fit faire ainsi le proces a Guerin de Craon, qu'il avait fait
foi et hommage de la Baronnie de Cra
