THE KING OF YTETOT.—Yvetot is a little French
village containing about a thousand inhabitants, situated on
the railway between Paris and Havre. The name Yvetot
is composed of two words—" Yve," or " Yvo" (probably
the same as Ives), a common German name, and 6( tot," the
Celtic word for ahousc or dwelling-place. Gaguin, a French
historian of the 16th century, says the origin of the king-
dom of Yvetot was contemporaneous with that of the
French monarchy ; that is to say, it was founded in the
reign of the Merovingian king, Clotaire the First. . The
Kings of Yvetot possessed all the prerogatives of
sovereignty. They had a court of justice of
the highest jurisdiction, which issued its deci-
sions without appal. In cases of minority they
could not be enrolled in the noble guard of the
King of France; they were not requires to serve in the
army, nor to pay fealty and homage, nor any tax whatso-
ever ; and, in a word, they had no hierarchical superior.
A medal, still preserved from the old chaiter••house of
Yvetot, repreAents Mai tin the First, son of Jean the Fourth,
sitting upon his throne—a sort of four-legged stool—with a
plain gold crown upon his head, an dressed in a coat of
snail fastened tight round the waist. Ile has long hair,
like all the Merovingian kings, and is represented affec-
tionately embracing ono of his subjects named Bobe.
Martin the First put into circulation as money, notched
bits of leather, with the mark of a nail head in the middle.
But as the circulation of this sort of coin was restricted to

is own state, when the king fell into difficulties, he was
compelled to sell his kingdom to Pierre do Vilaines, the
chamberlain of the King of Frauce,"--Pigens's "4( (Ii!
