CAPÍTULO I. EL GRAN SALÓN.
Three hundred and forty-eight years, six months, and nineteen days ago to-day, the Parisians awoke to the sound of all the bells in the triple circuit of the city, the university, and the town ringing a full peal.
Hace trescientos cuarenta y ocho años, seis meses y diecinueve días, los parisinos despertaron al son de todas las campanas del triple recinto de la ciudad, la universidad y la villa, repicando a vuelo.
The sixth of January, 1482, is not, however, a day of which history has preserved the memory.
El seis de enero de 1482 no es, sin embargo, un día del que la historia haya conservado la memoria.
There was nothing notable in the event which thus set the bells and the _bourgeois_ of Paris in a ferment from early morning.
No había nada notable en el acontecimiento que así puso en conmoción las campanas y a los _burgueses_ de París desde la madrugada.
It was neither an assault by the Picards nor the Burgundians, nor a hunt led along in procession, nor a revolt of scholars in the town of Laas, nor an entry of "our much dread lord, monsieur the king," nor even a pretty hanging of male and female thieves by the courts of Paris.
No era ni un asalto de los picardos ni de los borgoñones, ni una cacería conducida en procesión, ni una revuelta de estudiantes en la ciudad de Laas, ni una entrada de «nuestro muy temido señor, monseñor el rey», ni siquiera un bonito ahorcamiento de ladrones y ladronas por los tribunales de París.
Neither was it the arrival, so frequent in the fifteenth century, of some plumed and bedizened embassy.
Tampoco era la llegada, tan frecuente en el siglo XV, de alguna embajada engalanada y emplumada.
It was barely two days since the last cavalcade of that nature, that of the Flemish ambassadors charged with concluding the marriage between the dauphin and Marguerite of Flanders, had made its entry into Paris, to the great annoyance of M.
Apenas hacía dos días que la última cabalgata de ese tipo, la de los embajadores flamencos encargados de concertar el matrimonio entre el delfín y Margarita de Flandes, había hecho su entrada en París, con gran fastidio del señor.
