Links to my online sources for Louis XI. Well the ones I use most at least. http://www.nndb.com/people/858/000093579 http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/LXI.htm and of course Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_XI_of_France I've looked at other resources but these are the main...

Perhaps just an agreement with the Earl of Kildare? We'll attack at this time. If you want to attack Dublin this would be a good time since the English will have other worries at the time.

By "under his thumb" I meant firm allies perhaps with a bit of bribery or blackmail thrown in. Carrot and stick used or following him because they thought he was the best option.
