(8) Philip de Comines gives a curious illustration of the subservient,
though enforced, imitation of Philip, Duke of Burgundy, by his
courtiers. When that prince fell ill, and had his head shaved, he
ordered that all his nobles, five hundred in number, should in
like manner shave their heads; and one of them, Pierre de
Hagenbach, to prove his devotion, no sooner caught sight of an
unshaven nobleman, than he forthwith had him seized and carried
off to the barber!--Philip de Comines (Bohn's Ed.), p. 243.
