P. 18, line 20. The best modern analysis of the evidence is that by M. G. du Fresne de
Beaucourt, Histoire de Charles VII, vol. i. pp. 166-183. M. de
Beaucourt thinks that "History has turned Burgundian ; " that
there was no premeditation of crime ; that the Dauphin was borne
off the scene when it became menacing.

P. 28, lines 14-16. While, at her Trial (in 1431), she declined to express absolute
certainty about her age, Jeanne said that she thought herself
thirteen when the Voices began ; in 1431 seven years had elapsed
since her Voices and visions began. (See Proce's, i. 52, 65, 73,
128, 215, 216, 218.) According to a letter of Alain Chartier (?),
of July 1429, her visions began when she had just reached her
twelfth year {Proces, v. 132). According to a letter of Perceval
de Boulainvilliers (June 21, 1429), she had completed her twelfth
year when her visions commenced (Proces, v. 116). As in 1430-
143 1 her unusual experiences had lasted for seven years, if they
began when she was twelve or thirteen, she was born in
1410-1412, and at her death was aged between nineteen and
twenty-one. Cf. Lefevre-Pontalis in Chronique cT Antonio Morosini,

blending of the heathen Celtic seer Merlin with the Christian
English historian Bede, see M. Lefevre-Pontalis, in Appendix ix.
to Chronique d Antonio Morosini, vol. iv. pp. 316-327, with
Michel and Wright, Vie de Merlin attribute a Geoffroy de Mon-
mouth, 1837. Geoffroy's two tracts on the subject are " Merlini
Prophetia"and "Merlini Prophetiae Continuatio, " with his "Historia
Britonum." These are works of the twelfth century. As trans-
lated by Mr. Sebastian Evans, the Merlin prophecy runs thus :
" A damsel shall be sent forth from the City of Canute's Forest to
work healing by leach-craft," with much prophetic verbiage referring
to Caledon, London, and anywhere but France. Cf. Evans,
Geoffrey of Monmouth Translated, p. 179. I do not see what
Nemus Canutum has to do with Canute. CamUum means "grey,"
"hoary," "old." Nemus Canutum {Bois Chenu) is "the ancient
wood " ; Bois Chesnu is ' ' the oak wood. "

"She passed for being rather crazy," says M. Anatole France ( Vie
de Jeanne d 'Arc, i. 56), but cites no evidence for the statement.
"She suffered from the mockery which pursued her." For this
a reference is given to Colin's evidence {Proces, vol. ii. p. 432).
On p. 433 Colin says that he and others derided her. "The
mother of Nicolas, godson of Jeanne, made rustic mockery of a
girl who danced so seldom." The evidence does not say so
{Proems, vol. ii. p. 427, not p. 426).
P. 46, line 9. Prods, vol. i. p. 53. Mr. F. C. Lowell, in his Joan of Arc, p. 39, note
2, maintains that the Maid went only once to Vaucouleurs, and thinks
that the date given for the visit of May 1428 (Prods, ii. 456), "the
Ascension," must mean the Circumcision (Jan. I, 1429), or Nativity,
or Baptism of our Lord. I adhere to the text of the MS. Bertrand
de Poulengy, our authority for the date May 28, makes the Maid
silent as to the siege of Orleans, which she could not be, in January
and February 1429. She also tells her Dauphin, in May 1428, not to
offer battle to his enemies. Now, in January-February 1429, she
was insisting that he must fight to rescue Orleans. These argu-
ments seem conclusive against Mr. Lowell's theory.

P. 51, line 34. Simeon Luce, Jeanne d'Arc a Domremy, p. 88 (note to 87). The
documents about the kinsfolk of Jeanne at Sermaize (de Bouteiller
and de Braux, Nouvelles Recherches sur la Famille de Jeanne
d'Arc) are regarded with suspicion, and I have abstained from
quoting them.
P. 5 2 > line 29. Simeon Luce, Jeanne d'Arc a Domremy, pp. 97-100. On pp. cliv-clvi
M. Luce gives the facts of the contract of October 7, 1423. The
heads of houses are to pay yearly two gros (a gros being the
twenty-fifth part of a livre) to the Damoiseau for protection. M.
Luce says the total was not less than 220 gold crowns. He adds
that at Martinmas (November 11, 1423) "the wretched villagers
could not pay," and got two rich men to be their securities. The
Damoiseau, furious at unpunctual payment, impounded the goods
and chattels of one of the guarantees, Guy de Poignant, but, on
December 8, was paid by the villagers, and gave them the receipt.
All this is on the faith of a document of March 31, 1427,
when Guy de Poignant was trying to recover his losses from the
people for whom he had been surety (cf. Luce, pp. 359-362).
But in this document the Seigneur of Do??iremy and Greux is
made a party to the case, as well as his villagers. Now the
Seigneur, Henri d'Ogiviller, a Knight, was not a party to the debt
for protection acknowledged by the villagers on October 7, 1423.
M. Luce says that the 220 gold crowns "doubtless came from
the tax of two gros for each hearth levied by the Damoiseau of
Commercy on October 27, 1423 " (op. cit. p. 359, note 2). But
it is arithmetically impossible that a tax of two gros on each of
eighty households should yield 220 gold crowns ! Moreover, as
we saw, the Seigneur now appears as one of the debtors and
dependants in the suit brought by Guy de Poignant. Thus the
220 gold crowns owed by the Seigneur and his tenants cannot be
the miserable 160 gros, at most, which the tenants, on October 7,
1423, promised to pay. The large sum in gold crowns may perhaps
have been promised by Seigneur and tenants as the price of a
local treaty of peace, secured by the Damoiseau between the
Seigneur and people of the two villages on one side, and England
and Burgundy on the other. The Damoiseau had a foot in both
hostile camps, as La Tremoille notoriously had. Thus, on May II,
1428, the churchmen of Craon paid 800 gold crowns, the gentry
1200, the manants and others not noble paid 5000 (?) to La
Tremoille, "to have security against France and England" {Les
La Trhnoille, vol. i. pp. 172, 173). M. France (i. 29) follows
M. Luce, estimating the total of the gros at 220 gold crowns, and
giving a reference to " Luce, preuve li.," a document which says
nothing about these coins (cf. France, vol. i. p. 66). For the
varying values, and the purchasing power of the gold crown, see
Boucher de Molandon, Jacques d'Arc, p. 5, note 3. Orleans,
1885. Twenty-five gros went to the livre, three or three and a
half livres went to the gold crown ; therefore 220 gold crowns
represent over 5000 gros, not a mere 160 gros.

Bar, which d'Orly seems to have regarded as reason good for
pillaging Domremy and Greux. But, in June 1425, the Comte
de Vaudemont was also at war with the Due de Bar ; none the
less he sent Barthelemy, with seven or eight men, to rescue

"he gave her men " as " he gave her to his men." If he had done
that, there would have been evidence for the "outrages of the
garrison." It has been asserted that "she regarded the rebuffs of
Baudricourt as proofs of the authenticity of her mission, imagining
that her Voices had predicted them." Her normal common sense
must have predicted them, but it is not so certain that she supposed
her Voices to have done so. In her examination at Rouen, as
reported in the official account of her Trial, she appears to blend
her two visits to Vaucouleurs in a single narrative. She "stayed
eight days with her uncle," Lassois. This appears to have been
her first visit, in May 1428. She recognised Baudricourt, whom
she had never previously seen, at first sight. "The Voice told
me, That is the man. I told him that I must go into France."
Apparently this was on her second visit, January 1429. "He

twice refused and rebuffed me ; the third time he received me,
and lent me men. The Voice said that it would happen"
(Prods, i. 53). Did the Voice say that he would twice rebuff
and then accept her, or merely that he would give her an escort ?
From the evidence of Jean de Novelonpont, and of her own
request that the Due de Lorraine would give her men, it
appears that, in February 1429, she had despaired of help
from Baudricourt (Prods, ii. 436 ; Anatole P'rance, Vie de
Jeanne cPArc, i. 77).

P. 63, line 17. The two passages are in the Prods, vol. i. ; the evidence of Jeanne is
on pp. 127, 128; the slander of her accusers is on p. 215.
M. Anatole France quotes for Jeanne's statement Prods, ii.
476. There is no such page in the volume ! He adds, "What is
strange, in the case of Jeanne, is that her parents declared her to
be in the wrong, and took the side of the young man. She dis-
obeyed their command when she sustained her cause, and appeared
before the Official. She herself later declared that, in this affair,
she disobeyed her parents, the only instance of disobedience on her
part." For all this M. France cites Prods, vol. i. p. 128. Not
a word of his story appears on that page. On p. 129 Jeanne
says that she never disobeyed her parents except in leaving Dom-
remy (cf. France, Vie de Jeanne d'Arc, vol. i. p. 84). M. France
insists that, in going from Neufchateau to Toul, Jeanne had to
walk ten leagues thither, ten leagues back, "perhaps two or three
times. And it was by luck if she did not march day and night
with her false love (fiance"). . . . Her conduct, proceeding from a
singular and heroic innocence, was ill regarded " (France, i. 85).
Taking a league as equivalent to three miles, and supposing
Jeanne to visit Toul thrice, and to walk thirty miles a day, she
marched a hundred and eighty miles during the fortnight of her
stay at Neufchateau. As M. France cites, in proof of her dis-
obedience to her parents and their approval of the recalcitrant
young man, texts which say nothing of these matters (Prods, i. 128,
215), and for her version, Prods, ii. 476, which does not exist, there
is clearly a misunderstanding. In Prods, i. 129, Jeanne says that
she disobeyed her parents only once, namely, in setting out for
France, as we saw ; and the legend about her disobedience to her
parents has been, I think, adopted by historians, from Father
Ayroles to M. France, from a casual blunder made by the framer
of the charges against her in Prods, vol. i. p. 219, lines 12-16.
The accuser, by an oversight, makes Jeanne say that she disobeyed
her parents only once, in the matter of the marriage, whereas she
says no word of that, but avers that her one disobedience was her
departure to France (Prods, i. 129). As a result of the error,
Jeanne's parents have been accused (not by M. France) of
suborning the young man to perjure himself!

P. 63, line 26. Five Domremy witnesses, called in 1450-1456 to testify about the visit
to Neufchateau, dated the stay as lasting only "four days," "four
or five days," or "three or four days" {Proces, vol. ii. pp. 392,
411, 414, 417, 454). This is remarkable, for Jeanne, at her Trial,
said that the visit lasted "for about a fortnight" {Proch, i. 5r,
ii. 392, 411, 414, 417, 454). This is a curious discrepancy, for
five witnesses were not likely to be much in error. Another
notable fact is this : if the Domremy people fled to Neufchateau
in fear of the forces of Antoine de Vergy, sent to reduce Vaucouleurs,
their reasons for apprehension were ended in the space of four
or five days. Antoine was at St. Urbain, a short march from
Vaucouleurs, on July 17 ; by July 22 he had abandoned the idea
of attacking the town (Luce, Jeanne c? Arc a Domremy, pp. 220,
221, 222). Consequently Vaucouleurs was not "blockaded" at
all ; unless a confessedly insufficient force can blockade a strong
town in three days. But M. Simeon Luce says that "when
blockading Vaucouleurs the men of Antoine de Vergy would take
care to complete the blockade by burning and pillaging most of
the villages depending on the Chatellenie of which they desired to
reduce the chief place to the English allegiance." M. France
says, " De Vergy laid all the villages of the territory in blood and
fire" (Luce, clxxv. ; France, i. 80).
These are very active men-at-arms ! They recognise formally
their own inadequate numbers ; they do not appear before Vau-
couleurs till July 18 ; on July 22 they write that they have
abandoned their enterprise, yet they have not only blockaded
Vaucouleurs but burned and pillaged most of the villages within
a twelve-mile radius, including Domremy, at least twelve miles
distant !
These results arose from M. Luce's tendency to exaggerate the
perils of Domremy. Probably its people fled to Neufchateau
about July 18, and returned home about July 23 (the "four or
five days " of the witnesses) when Antoine de Vergy had with-
drawn his men. It is not at all probable that de Vergy, with his
small force, weakened it by sending a command to burn distant
villages. We do not even know that it was during her stay at
Neufchateau that Jeanne went to Toul about the young man's
suit : the theory of the Judges was that she remained for long as
a servant at an inn in Neufchateau, and thence went frequently to
Toul, to force the reluctant young man to marry her !
As for M. France's idea that she kept trudging alone, or with
her false lover, on foot to and from Toul, it is incredible. She had
a brother to accompany her, and her father owned horses.

the prophecy to Jeanne ? What peasant ? There is reason to
believe that the peasants knew nothing about it," in proof of
which is cited the passage wherein Katherine Royer says that she
remembered having heard the saying before ! (Prods, ii. 447).
Moreover, we are told that this was "*» special form of the
prophecy, visibly arranged for Jeanne, since the Maid who should
restore France is specifically said to come from the marches of
Loraine. This topical addition cannot be the work of a plough-
man, and reveals an intellect skilled in ruling souls and directing
actions. Doubt is impossible, the prophecy, thus pointed and
completed, is the work of a cleric, whose intentions are easily to be
detected" (Anatole France, Vie de Jeanne d* Arc, vol. i. pp. 51-54).
The repartee is obvious. The prediction was not made for
Jeanne; it was a current saying. It was not "unknown to the
peasantry." Katherine Royer remembered having heard it before,
in conversation.

from Nancy about February 13. He may be out of his reckoning
by a day, or Jeanne may have told Baudricourt of her vision as soon as
she arrived at Vaucouleurs, if we accept the story of her clairvoyance.

P. 79, line 26. It has been suggested that Baudricourt, probably moved by Jean de
Novelonpont and Bertrand de Poulengy, wrote to the Dauphin,
asking leave to send Jeanne, and that Colet de Vienne, by
February 23, had brought back a favourable answer. In that case,
allowing for the rate of travelling, Baudricourt must have been
won about the first week of February. If this view were correct,
Jeanne would not have needed to write, on March 4 or 5, asking
leave to approach the Dauphin, and the Dauphin would have
known who she was and what she wanted. But, as we shall see,
he knew nothing about her. M. France (i. 101, 102) adopts the
view that Baudricourt wrote, and had Charles's favourable reply
before February 23.

P. 80, line 26. The hypothetical scheme of dates fits together fairly well : thus, Jeanne
arrives at Little Burey about January 10, 1429. She goes to the
Royers at Vaucouleurs about February 1, staying there about the
three weeks mentioned by Royer. She makes her start on a walk
to Chinon and returns to Vaucouleurs. She speaks with Jean de
Novelonpont, and receives his promise of aid, about February 6.
Goes to Nancy and St. Nicholas, and returns about February 13.
Then she speaks to Baudricourt of her vision of the disaster at
Rouvray on February 12. Colet de Vienne, the king's messenger,
arrives with news of that defeat about February 19-20. Baudri-
court has Jeanne exorcised or tested as a witch by Fournier the
cure", because she is proved to be in the right about the defeat at
Rouvray, February 12. She is found to be no witch or dealer in
divination. Jeanne leaves Vaucouleurs with an escort and rides
towards Chinon on February 23. Of course the story of the vision
about Rouvray is given in chronicles very late, about 1467, and is
far from being matter of certain history. If true, it accounts for
Baudricourt's resort to the test of exorcism.
It is curious that while critical historians make Jeanne leave
Vaucouleurs on February 13, and arrive at Chinon on March 6,
Jean de Novelonpont appears to date her departure about the date
of her return from Nancy,— that is, about February 13,— while the
clerk (GrefBer) of the Hotel de Ville of Rochelle dates her arrival
at Chinon on February 23. The duration of the journey is thus
ten, not eleven days (Jean de Novelonpont, Proces, ii. 437 ;
Grefner de Rochelle, Revue Historique, iv. 336). The date of
arrival at Chinon, March 6, is taken from the Chronique de
St. Michel, following a fragment of a continuator of Guillaume de
Nangis, in Prods, iv. 313. M. de Boismarin has argued for the
dates : Vaucouleurs left on February 12-13, Chinon reached on
February 23 (cf. Lefevre-Pontalis, Chronique de Morosini, iii.
44, 45, note 2). The curious astrological chronograms given in
Process, iv. 313, seem to prove February 23-March 6 to be the
correct dates.
M. Simeon Luce has a different system of dates. By his theory,
340 NOTES
immediately after Baudricourt's first interview with Jeanne at her
visit of 1429 — namely, about January 15 — Baudricourt would send a
message to the Dauphin, asking if Jeanne might be dispatched to
him. But we have seen that by mid-February Jeanne despaired
of moving Baudricourt ; she therefore asked for an escort from the
Due de Lorraine. The Dauphin, as will be shown, does not seem
to have heard from Baudricourt concerning Jeanne till about
March 9, three days after her arrival at Chinon. M. Simeon Luce
supposes that Colet de Vienne, otherwise called Jean Colez, bore to
Vaucouleurs a favourable answer from the Dauphin to Baudricourt's
supposed letter of January 15. If so, as we do not hear of him at
Vaucouleurs till February 23, he was an unconscionably long time
on the way. Again, if the Dauphin actually summoned Jeanne, he
later exhibited a curious aversion to receive her when she came,
and an inexplicable curiosity in asking why she had come, and what
was the nature of her business. Our hypothesis encounters none
of these difficulties. M. Luce, it should be added, accepts without
demur the story that Jeanne was aware of the battle at Rouvray on
the day of the event (Simeon Luce, Jeanne d'Arc a Domremy,
pp. ccix, ccx).

sturdy girl with a short strong neck and ample bust. But he here
quotes none of the passages which I have selected from the
evidence of eye-witnesses, but mainly deals in quotations from late
and sometimes purely mythical authors, who never saw Jeanne
d'Arc (France, Vie de Jeanne d'Arc, vol. i. p. 194). I have pre-
ferred evidence at first hand.

P. 83, line 34. A recent historian (France, Vie de Jeanne d'Arc, vol. i. p. 101) has made
the chivalrous suggestion that the gentlemen saw no hope of profit-
able warfaring at Vaucouleurs, which lay (or may have lain) in
pledge to England, and hoped to better themselves on the Loire,
while they mention their unwonted continence as a miracle, re-
dounding to the credit of the saintliness of Jeanne. In the legends
of the Saints, fair servants of Christ do not usually work this
miracle ; they are generally beset by lustful wooers, as well as by
honourable suitors. Jeanne herself, as we know, had been sought
in marriage. To be sure, the contemporary St. Colette is said to
have frozen the passions of visitors who had been damnabiliter
inflammati. Jeanne's male dress was assumed for security on
these wild roads and midnight marches.
NOTES 341
A piece of evidence in discord with what the two gentlemen
swore to in 1456 was given, about the same time, by the widow of
Regnier de Boullegny, a member of the king's council of finance.
She said that she had heard Jeanne's conductors say that "at first
they reckoned her mad, and thought of putting her in some strong
place and meant to woo her carnally, but shame came on them, so
that they obeyed her in all things, and were as eager to bring her
safe to the king, as she was to go " [Prods, iii. 86, 87).
It is to be supposed that this lady's memory deceived her ; the
two gentlemen conducted Jeanne at their own expense, and, though
hey doubtless looked t o be, and were, repaid, they clearly regarded
her, from the first, in t he spirit of chivalry, and with hope that she
might save them from he English yoke.

P. 84, line 25. Life of St. Colette, by Mrs. Parsons, p. 168 (1879). M. Anatole
France has evolved a theory on this point : ' ' Some French
men-at-arms, apprised of Jeanne's coming, laid an ambush in
front. They meant to seize the young girl, throw her into a
fosse, and leave her under a great stone, hoping that the king, who
had caused her coming, would pay a high ransom for her." For
all this M. France quotes Prods, iii. 293, a passage which con-
tains no such story. M. France means Prods, iii. 203, where we
have the tale of ambushed men who never showed themselves. He
combines with this anecdote an erroneous version of the tattle of
the widow of Regnier de Boullegny [Prods, iii. 87), who said that
Jeanne's own company declared that they began by thinking her
mad, intending to place her in quadam munitione, and to woo her
par amours. All the story of the ambushed men who plotted to
leave Jeanne in a ditch, under a big stone, till the king ransomed
her, is an attempt to combine two separate stories (France, i. 116,
117, note 2).

asserted as an acquired fact that the emissaries avaient iti choisis
parmi ces moines mendiants. We only know that Jean Barbin
" heard say that people had been sent to Jeanne's native place"
(Prods, iii. 82). M. Simeon Luce may have misled M. France.
He quotes {Jeanne <£Arc a Domremy, p. cxliii, note 1), Process,
"• 397, tnus — I follow his typography: "Beatrix, widow of
Estellin, labourer, of Domremy said that she heard say that MINOR
FRIARS were in the said tozvn (Domremy) to gather information as
was said." M. Luce, always hot on the scent of mendicant friars,
did not notice that Beatrix was speaking, not of April 1429, but of
1430- 143 1. The Friars were sent, if at all, by Jeanne's hostile
Judges at Rouen ! Beatrix was asked (Prods, ii. 385, Article xi)
as to the information sought at Domremy by the authority of the
Jttdges when Jeanne was taken and was in English hands.

Prods, vol. iii. pp. 20, 83, 203-204.
The Judges of 1 450-1 456 say that they have heard evidence as to the
examination of Poitiers. They say nothing about the existence
of documentary evidence, of a Register, and only one examiner,
Seguin, was heard (Prods, vol. v. p. 472). Several others were
alive, but were not called, or did not appear. If there was a Book
of Poitiers, for some reason it was not even named in 1450-1456.
M. Simeon Luce thinks that it was destroyed about 1443, because
it probably contained evidence of the treason of the Comte de
Vaudemont, and others, whom the king had pardoned (Simeon
Luce, 274, note 1).

344 NOTES
For the fact that " d'Aulon belonged wholly to La Tremoille, was in
the hands of La Tremoille, and owed him money," he cites Les
La Trimo'ilh pendant cinq Steele, Guy VI et Georges (1343-1446,
Nantes, 1890, pp. 196, 201); and Beaucourt, Charles vu, vol. ii.
p. 293, note 3. The latter quotation is identical in sense with
Les La Tre*moille, vol. i. p. 196. It is a document in which
(March 16, 1431-1432) d'Aulon acknowledges having borrowed,
for two months, 500 gold crowns from La Tremoille. The fact was
that d'Aulon, captured by the Burgundians on May 23, 1430,
had to pay a crushing ransom, and so borrowed 500 gold
crowns. On April 13, 1433 (Les La Trimoille, vol. i. pp. 200-
201), Pothon de Bourguignon, d'Aulon's brother, captured with
him on May 23, 1430, also borrows money from La Tremoille,
his bill being apparently backed by Jean d'Aulon, Thibault de
Termes (who fought at Orleans, and was a witness in 1450-1456),
and Arnault de Bourguignon, who appear to have been joint
borrowers of 2750 gold crowns. These debts were incurred after
the two d'Aulon brothers were impoverished by their heavy
ransoms, and neither prove that Jean d'Aulon was "the most
destitute squire in the kingdom," nor that he " belonged absolutely
to La Tremoille," nor that, in the lifetime of the Maid, he owed
money to La Tremoille. All that, as far as the evidence shows,
is part of the legend evolved by M. France.

P. 112, line 11. The force escorted no more than 60 waggons of provisions and 400
head of cattle. Jeanne is reported to have told her Judges that the
force was of from 10,000 to 12,000 men. This number is given in
a contemporary Italian letter, while Monstrelet speaks of 7000 men.
These are impossible figures : the army in a very few days would
have eaten up the supplies which they introduced.
A German chronicler, using a dispatch of the period, states the
numbers at 3000 men, and so does the Chrottique de Tournai, obvi-
ously using the same dispatch, and giving the convoy at 60 waggons
and 435 head of cattle. Now Chartier and the Chronique de la
Pucelle represent the army which came back (May 4) from Blois
as less by three times than the army which originally marched
from Blois. Can they mean "less by a third"? On April 29,
" 200 lances" (from 800 to 1000 men) entered Orleans, when the
rest retired to Blois. Deducting this 1000 from an original host of
4000, we get 3000, as in Windecke and the Chronique de Tournai,
resting on an official newsletter, for the army of Blois. Under
Clermont, on February 12, that army had numbered between
3000 and 4000 men. It is unlikely that the force with Jeanne was
greater : a. larger body could not be subsisted in Orleans, and
NOTES 345
would have soon, with the population, say 25,000, and the garrison,
have eaten up the supplies. With even 3000 fresh combatants,
the army of Jeanne, the town militia, and the garrison, out-
numbered the besiegers. (Jeanne's evidence, Prods, i. 78 ;

P. 116, line 22. On the river side, nearly opposite the eastern Watergate, or Tour Neuve
of Orleans, there was an English fort called St. Jean le Blanc, in-
tended to command the ferry. This fort, in the Life of Jeanne by
M. France, is apt to cause more trouble to the reader than it ever
gave to the French army. M. France says (i. 306) that as Jeanne,
on April 28, could not summon Talbot (who was at St. Laurent
on the opposite side of the river), "she wished to show herself in
front of the outpost [guet) of St. Jean le Blanc." His authorities
are Beaucroix, Prods, iii. p. 78, and d'Aulon, iii. p. 214. In the
former passage it is said that Jeanne (at what moment is not stated)
was desirous that the whole force "should go straight to St. Jean
le Blanc, which they did not do." The second passage cited (iii.
214) has no concern with the events of April 28, as M. France
imagines, but contains d'Aulon's account of the French advance
against St. Jean le Blanc on the morning of May 6. They then
found that the English had just evacuated the fort, when they saw
the French movements on the river. Thus the English evacuated
St. Jean on the morning of May 6, not on April 28.
M. France (i. 306) says that had Jeanne tried to show herself
before St. Jean on April 28, she would have found no English there.
On April 29, M. France (i. 311, 312) says that St. Jean le Blanc
was still empty of its defenders. His authorities are Jean Chartier
{Process, iv. 54), who says that the English had evacuated St. Jean,
and retired into their fortress on the site of the Augustinian
monastery; and the Chronique de la Pucelle (Prods, iv. 217).
The second author merely quotes the former, and both appear
to be in error, and to assign to April 28 an event of May 6.
M. France (i. 341) represents St. Jean as still empty of defenders on

May 5. He writes (i. 347), speaking of May 6, that the first of the
French who landed on the opposite bank of the Loire "entered
the abandoned fort of St. Jean le Blanc, and amused themselves by
destroying it, while awaiting reinforcements." Here the authority
cited is the Chronique de la Pucelle, but in that chronicle we read
that, on May 6, the French crossed the Loire in force, under the
eyes of Glasdale (of the English bridge-head fort, the Tourelles),
"who immediately caused the fort of St. Jean ie Blanc to be
evacuated and burned, and withdrew his men into the Augustins,
the Tourelles, and the outwork or boulevard of the Tourelles "
(P?-ods, iv. 225, 226). This agrees with the account of d'Aulon,
who was present. The English, he says, evacuated St. Jean le
Blanc when they saw the French preparations to attack it, on
May 6, and withdrew into the Augustins (Proofs, iii. 213, 214).
Chartier appears to have made the same evacuation of St. Jean
le Blanc occur twice, on April 28 and May 6. So does the
Chronique de la Pucelle, manifestly copying Chartier ; but it does
not say that the French, on May 6, "amused themselves by
destroying " a fort which Glasdale, it avers, had already burned !

So Jean Chartier writes in Prods, iv. 54. He was Historiographer
Royal to Charles vn (in 1449), but he is very frank about the
futility of the king's advisers, who by 1449 were mostly dead or
out of office.
Prods, vol. iii. p. 7-
This affair of the summons and the heralds is recorded in a most con-
fusing way. M. Anatole France (vol. i. pp. 284, 305) adopts the
view that the Maid had sent on from Blois, (about April 26 ?)
a herald, with her famous letter of summons dated March 22,
1429. The English, says M. France, had detained this herald, and
made no reply. One authority, the Chronique de la Pticelle (Prods,
vol. iv. pp. 215-217), says that Jeanne wrote from Blois, and sent
her letter to Talbot by a herald. But, as the letter here given is
dated March 22, she could not have written it at Blois : she was
at Poitiers on March 22. Le Journal de Siege, making an error
of six weeks, says that on March 22, Jeanne sent a herald with
her letter from Blois. The English read the letter, threatened to
burn the Maid, and detained the herald (Prods, iv. pp. 139-141).
These are obvious errors. The authors derive the date of the dis-
patch of the herald from the date of the writing of the letter (March
NOTES 347
22), M. France (i. p. 321) adopts these errors, and makes Jeanne,
on April 30, send her herald Ambleville to recover the herald
Guienne, sent from Blois. For this M. France cites Prods,
vol. iii. pp. 26, 27, evidence of Jacques l'Esbahy, a citizen of Orleans.
Jacques depones to none of this. Me says that two heralds
were sent, Ambleville and Guienne, to the English, who sent
back Ambleville and kept Guienne, declaring that they would
burn him. The Chronique de la Pucelle makes the English send
back only one of the two heralds, who is reported, erroneously, to
have returned to the English, and brought back his companion in
safety {Prods, vol. iv. pp. 220, 221). Le Journal du Siige says
that on April 30 the Maid sent two heralds, and asked for the
return of the herald whom she had dispatched from Blois, making
three heralds in all ! The three heralds were then restored to her
by the English {Prods, iv. 154).
All this appears to be perfectly inaccurate. No herald was sent
from Blois. Two, Ambleville and Guienne, were sent out of Orleans
on April 30. The English returned Ambleville ; Guienne they kept,
meaning to burn him.
Being aware that to burn a herald was a strong measure, they
sent to ask the advice of the furiously Anglo-Burgundian University
doctors of the University of Paris. But Jeanne's rapidity in war
drove the English from Orleans before the answer of the University
could arrive, and the retreating English left the herald Guienne,
and the stake at which they meant to burn him, in their deserted
camp. This we learn from a herald, Jacques le Bouvier, King-at-
arms of Berri (Process, vol. iv. p. 42).

the story of April 30 thus (France, vol. i. pp. 316-318): "On
the morrow of the Maid's arrival, (April 30), the Orleans militia
was astir from daybreak. Since the previous evening the city
was turned upside down. The revolt, long suppressed, had begun.
. . . There was no question of the king's Lieutenant, of Governor,
of Lords, of Captains ; there was only one power, one force, the
Maid. The Maid was chief of the Commune. This girl, this
shepherdess, this be'guine, whom the nobles had led to bring them
luck, did them the greatest possible mischief: she annihilated them.
From the dawn of April 30 the nobles could see that the bourgeois
revolution was accomplished. The town's forces waited for the
Maid 10 head them and lead them instantly against the "God-
damns" (Godons). The captains tried to make them see that they
must await the army of Blois and the force of the Marechal de
Boussac, which had started under cloud of night to join hands with
it. The armed bourgeoisie would listen to nothing, and yelled for

the Maid. She did not show herself; Dunois, with his golden
tongue, had advised her not to show herself" {Prods, iii. 21 1 ;
Chronique de la Pucelle, p. 287. This is a wrong reference, p. 287
refers to events in August 1429. The reference should be to
pp. 250, 251, corresponding to Prods, vol. iv. pp. 221, 222. The
passage does not contain what M. France finds in it. The
references offered by M. France to these Chroniques are sometimes
curiously erroneous : wrong pages are given, and the right pages
fail to support his statements).
Jeanne's page, whose memory was very inaccurate, says that Jeanne
was angry because Dunois would not attack on April 30. He then
betrays his own inaccuracy most amazingly {Prods, vol. iii. p. 68).
We next hear from M. France of the attack on the English at
their fort, Paris: "The Maid had known nothing about it." No
authority, as far as I can find, though authorities are duly cited by
M. France, says a word, in this place, of "a bourgeois revolution" ;
of the Maid as " captain of the Commune" ; of yells for the Maid ;
of her withdrawal, by desire of Dunois ; in short, of the whole
story as given by M. France.
Dunois says that she was scarcely willing to wait, and allow him
to go to Blois : " She wanted to summon the English to raise the
siege, or to attack them." She did send her letter to them, which
demoralised them {Prods, vol. iii. p. 7).

fort called Paris, dated April 30, but Le Jotu-nal du Sitge says
nothing about Jeanne's part in that affair, and it makes Dunois
leave for Blois on May 1, giving nothing about a demonstration of
force to cover his exit.

It may probably have been an event of May 3. There is a tale that
Jeanne told d'Aulon not to fear about the Marechal de Boussac,
who was at Blois ; he would return safe from Blois. This was "a
little while before he came." As d'Aulon was not then with
Jeanne but with the Marechal at Blois, the story can only be true
if the words were spoken before d'Aulon left Orleans, on May 1

English forts {Prods, vol. iv. pp. 156, 222), while the grain was
brought by water, and was boated over some way above the town
at the ferry commanded by the English fort of St. Loup.

any eye-witness reporting that " through the Maid what had been
a diversion became an attack driven home " (France, vol. i. p. 336).
It may be that the arrival of the Maid " turned a vain skirmish
into an attack driven home, and gave victory by giving confidence "
(France, vol. i. p. 339). But no eye-witness seems to put the case
in this light. At all events, the French, now greatly reinforced,
had for the first time taken an English work, one which kept open
the communications with the English garrison of Jargeau, and was
meant to cut the French communications with the opposite bank of
the river, in which it was always unsuccessful. We nowhere read
that a convoy of cattle was brought across during the attack on St.
Loup, but grain did come by water. M. Lefevre-Pontalis believes
that the second convoy from Blois came by the Orleans or Beauce
side of the river (Chronique d' Antonio Morosini, vol. iii. pp. 28,
115).

(vol. i. p. 322) on April 30 (also with other details on May 5), but
Pasquerel was present at the scene, and on April 30 he was not
in Orleans, though M. France cites his evidence (Process, vol. iii.
p. 108) for April 30. The Chronique de la Pucelle, here following
Gestes des Nobles Francoys, a manuscript of 1429 or 1430, dates the
scene on May 5 (Prods, vol. iv. p. 225). Le Journal du Siige
dates it (followed by M. France) on April 30 (Prods, vol. i. p. 155).
The details about the arrow and the "news from her Lord," and
the letter for the date May 5, as given by her confessor, who states
that he was present, are circumstantial, and I do not think that
he had an illusion of memory, especially as he is supported by the
350 NOTES
contemporary Gestes des Nobles Francoys. After giving Pasquerel's
version, and dating it on April 30 (France, vol. i. p. 322), M.
France gives it again, with more details, on the day of the Ascension
(vol. i. pp. 343, 344) ; again from the evidence of Pasquerel
(Prods, vol. iii. pp. 107, 108). Yet M. France is specially severe
on the faults of Pasquerel as a witness (France, vol. i. p. xxii).

P. 126, line 31. Our authority here is Jean Chartier, writing twenty years later
(Prods, iv. 57, 58). It will be observed that the tale is very cir-
cumstantial ; all names, and the parts played by de Lore, Cousinot,
the Chancellor, and Dunois being given, though Chartier errs in
saying that Fastolf was at St. Laurent. Le Journal du Siitge
(Prods, vol. iv. p. 158) says that some burgesses were present at
the Council. It does not say that Jeanne was called to the Council,
nor mention the intended feint, nor does the Chronique de la
Pucelle, attributed to Cousinot himself, or his nephew or son. Here
it follows Gestes des Nobles Francoys (1429). M. France avers that
the burgesses were to make the feint, with Jeanne, while the nobles
with their levies were to make the real attack, on the forts across
the river. Jeanne was captain of the town militia, who were not
to know the secret (France, vol. i. pp. 340-343). But the burgesses
were present, in council, according to Le Jownal du Siege
M. Fiance thinks Chartier's version "very doubtful." Chartier
certainly shows great vagueness later, but he seems to have obtained
this part of his narrative from an eye-witness.

vol. iii. p. 79) say that she was unwilling to leave the taken fort
where many tarried, and were supplied with food from the city.
However, they may mean that she did return to Orleans, though
reluctantly. Perceval de Cagny, dictating about 1436, agrees with
d'Aulon. ' ' The Maid said to those about her, " By my baton I will
take the Tournelles to-morrow, and return to the town by the
bridge," which was broken (Prods, vol. iv. p. 8). But Perceval
was not present, and till his chief, d'Alencon, comes on the scene
of war, is not a good witness. Jeanne's page, de Coutes (Prods,
vol. iii. p. 70), her confessor, Pasquerel (vol. iii. p. 108), and the
(Chronique de la Pucelle, Prods, iv. p. 227), which is here con-
temporary, maintain, with many details, that she returned to
Boucher's house in Orleans. I follow their versions, but probably
de Cagny, in 1436, got his version from d'Aulon.

set him free. But I had a shorter term than three years, and
rather longer than a year," but " about this, at the moment, I do
not well remember."
All this is confusing, for d'Alencon sometimes heard her tell the
king, "I will last but one year or little more" {Prods, iii. 99).
This prediction seems to have been known, as we saw, to an
Italian newswriter as early as June 1429, and it is impossible to tell
how Jeanne reconciled the span of three years in which she was to
deliver the Due d'Orleans with that of little more than a year
which she knew was assigned to her. In any case, she made no
attempt at her Trial to quibble or conceal the facts. We have not
all the interrogatories, and the texts of the answers vary.

I desire to express, once for all, my appreciation of a grudging and
perfectly illogical criticism of Jeanne d'Arc in war. It is almost
incredible that any man could aver, first that the Maid "was the
chief because she was the best " ; that she understood war so well
as "to fear that the chivalry of France would not fight a battle in
her fashion"; that the King's advisers "neither believed in nor
desired an end of the war : they meant to make war at the least
possible risk and expense," — and then to maintain that the Maid
understood nothing about war ; that she was used merely as
an advertisement and luck-bringer ; that her advice was never
listened to ; that it did not cause the march to Reims, thereby
"greatly serving the Archbishop" ; also that she was listened to,
that she did cause the march to Reims, and that this step was
fatal ! See Anatole France, vol. i. pp. xlix, 73, 451-454, 536,
ii. 187.
Meanwhile, I have not found any criticism, in detail, of the
Maid's military qualities, by professed military writers who are also
close students of the Art of War as practised in the fifteenth century.
In this respect the Jeanne d'Arc Guerriere of General Frederic
NOTES 355
Canonge (Paris, 1907) is somewhat disappointing. For example, he
states the force of Talbot and Suffolk after the fall of the Tourelles
at from 7000 to 8000 men (p. 27), whereas the closest analysis of
documents does not enable us to put it above 3500. Capitaine
Marin, too, attributes to Jeanne the strategy of the Oise campaign
of 1430, whereas the Maid says herself that in most things she then
merely took the advice of " the captains," of such experienced
leaders as Saintrailles.

P. 158, line 29. Prods, vol. iv. pp. 45, 65, 173, 238. According to four chroniclers,
Suffolk yielded to an esquire named Guillaume Regnault,
first dubbing him a knight. These four witnesses are only one
witness, each copying his predecessor. A contemporary, the
town clerk of La Rochelle, says that Suffolk refused to surrender
except to the Maid, " the bravest woman in the world, who must
bring us all to confusion." Quicherat accepted this version, sup-
posing that Suffolk's brother, John de la Pole, surrendered to
Regnault. The ransom of Suffolk would have been a great prize
to the Maid, who hoped, by collecting ransoms for prisoners, to
release the Due d'Orleans from English captivity {Rev. Historique,
vol. iv. pp. 332, 333). The earliest authority among the chroniclers
for the surrender to Regnault is the Berry King of Arms, a herald ;
and, as he wrote long after the events, we must judge between his
evidence and the contemporary testimony of the town clerk of La
Rochelle. Considering the English fear, contempt, and hatred of
the Maid, we might expect her to be the last person to whom
Suffolk would yield himself prisoner.
P. 158, line 34. Le Journal du Siege, Prods, vol. iv. p. 173. M. France says that
the quarrel which led to the slaughter of the prisoners was a dispute
between the nobles and the common people. There is not a word
to that effect in his only authority, Journal du Siege, as printed in
Prods, vol. iv. p. 173 (France, vol. i. p. 415).

P. 163, line 23. The evidence here is rather confused, and it is uncertain whether or
not the Maid cried for a charge. That is the opinion of
M. France (France, vol. i. pp. 431-433), but the evidence of Dunois
(Prods, vol. iii. p. 11) and of de Termes (Prods, vol. iii. p. 120)
is perhaps adverse to his theory, and both men were present.
M. France thinks that they are really speaking of June 17, and
that seems the more probable occasion, but de Termes expressly
speaks of the day of Pathay (June 18) and Dunois says that the
English had heard of the surrender of Beaugency. Now they did
not receive the news till June 18, (Wavrin, Prods, vol. iv. pp. 417,
418). However, Dunois may not have been aware that on
June 17 the English believed that Beaugency was holding out.
In any case, June 17 is not Sunday, August 19, as M. France
maintains (France, i. 431). Can he have been deceived by
Shakespeare, who, in Henry VI, Part I, Act I, Scene I, makes
the messenger date Pathay on August 10 ? Allowing for Old Style,
Pathay would thus be on August 20, and the previous day would
be August 19, as in M. France's work. But Shakespeare is not a
good historical authority. The version in Journal du Siege, Prods,
vol. iv. pp. 175, 176, increases the difficulties.

P. 164, line 10. Prods, iv. 416. His words are, on June 17, " Les Francais furent
advis de leur venue " (of the approach of the English) " eulz environ
6000, dont esloient les chefs Jeanne la Pucelle," etc. Is eulz the
English or the French? In Prods, iv. 419, Wavrin makes the
French 12,000 or 13,000 combatants.

influence in the counsels of the Dauphin and the nobles, and also to
maintain that her influence was great and mischievous (France,
vol. i. pp. xlix. 453, 454).

Journal d'un Bourgeois de Paris, Prods, vol. iv. p. 466. A con-
temporary account, in Arch. Nat. Sect. Hist., LL 216 fo. 173,
avers that the French had threatened to make a general massacre
in Paris. The assault began about one o'clock in the afternoon,
and was vigorously pushed, totis viribus, till midnight. A few
Englishmen and others were wounded, and very few were killed.
The losses of the French were great, but they were said to have
burned their dead. The writer thinks that they withdrew because the
Maid was wounded (Luce, Jeanne d'Arc a Domremy, pp. 257, 258).

attempts to find hints that Charles wrote to the Pope, or that he
intended to attempt a rescue, are of the most shadowy. In a Latin
poem of 1 5 16, an epic on the Maid, the author, Valeran Varanius,
versifies a letter which he says that the king wrote long afterwards
to Pope Calixtus III. The poet made use of the MSS of the two
Trials, 143 1, 1 450- 1 456, but we have no proof that the passage
from the letter to the Pope was genuine. Again, in March 1 43 1,
Dunois was ordered to betake himself to Louviers, within twenty
miles of Rouen, then held by La Hire, " to resist the English, who
are there in great force." La Hire capitulated shortly after Jeanne
was burned, Dunois could not or did not succour Louviers, and
nowhere is there a hint that he attempted anything against Rouen.

Quicherat avers in his Apercus Nouveaux (p. 109) that it was unjust
to refuse the aid of counsel to Jeanne, but that the refusal was
justified by the procedure in the case of heretics. The Chanoine
Dunand argues that Quicherat misquotes and misinterprets a
Decretal of Clement v (1307). See Dunand, Etudes Critiques,
Third Series, pp. 339-340, with his documents, pp. 470-476, and his
Jeanne cTArc et FE-glise, pp. 104, 106. Eymeric's Directorium
Inquisitorum, Pars ii. cap. xi, Pars iii. p. 365, with Pegna's
Commentary (Rome, 1578), may also be consulted. See, too,
Pars iii. p. 295. The evidence is that, in the century after
Jeanne's death, counsel must on no account be refused. In his

et seq., L. Tanon argues, from a decree of Innocent in, that no
counsel was allowed to heretics. The interpretation of this decree
by Pegna (1578) is denounced as " a platonic homage to the rights of
the accused." Tanon says that, in records, no counsel for the
accused is to be found. For the opposite view see Dunand as
quoted above. Anatole France, vol ii. p. 329, follows Tanon.

Manchon, the clerk (Prods, ii. 13), tells a similar story of the advice
given by de la Pierre, Ladvenu, and de la Fontaine, to submit to
the Council, and says that Jeanne did appeal, on the following day.
But he alters the circumstances ; the advice was given in private,
in the cell of the Maid. Cauchon discovered her counsellors, de
la Fontaine had to fly, the others were in great danger of death.

a cross "before she left the place." It was later, in 1456, that
he spoke of the schedule as very brief — some eight lines (Prods,
iii. 156). No one could gather this from his earlier evidence
of 1450.

The best argument on this point is that of Chanoine Dunand in his
Jeanne d? Arc et l ' Eglise, pp. 220-229, where the documents are
translated (see also pp. 1 71-177). As to the form of abjuration,
M. Anatole France asserts positively that it was the brief document
sworn to by the witnesses in the Trial of Rehabilitation, and that
it contained the confession that she had "seduced the people."
He does not aver that Jeanne repeated and signed the long formula
(France, vol. ii. p. 366). " She submitted to the Church, con-
fessed that she had been guilty of treason, and of misleading the
people, and promised not to wear arms, male dress, and short hair."
I can find nothing about confessions of treason in the references
given {Prods, vol. iii. pp. 52, 65, 132, 156-197). Father
Wyndham observes that "He who reads only the Prods de Con-
damnation would never suspect there had been any schedule but
the long one, and he who reads only M. France's book would never
imagine that there had been any schedule but the short one ; M.
France has entirely suppressed the long one" (Dublin Review,
pp. 105, 106, July 1908). M. Anatole France (vol. ii. p. 381)
entirely mistranslates the verdict of the Abbe of Fecamp, in Prods,
vol. i. p. 463, representing the Abbe as saying that the long
formula "has been read to" Jeanne, with other errors in constru-
ing a very easy piece of Latin. Nor are errors avoided in the
translation of the Dublin Review of January 1891, quoted without
correction by Father Wyndham, ut supra.
Dunand, La Ligende Anglaise de Jeanne d'Arc, p. 72. Toulouse,
1902.
Prods, vol. i. pp. 456, 457.
Apercus Nouveaux, p. 136. Quicherat's theory is that a full abjuration
was crammed into a few lines, while the long paper was padded out
with legal and theological verbiage. But the confession simply
cannot be reduced to the brevity of the short formula.
That her Voices were distinctly audible in the scene on the scaffold
proves, once for all, that they were independent of, though they
may have been favoured by, the sound of bells and other audible
points de reph-e. As it is only too possible to introduce the
ludicrous into the deepest of tragedies, M. France's printer has it
that when she was on the scaffold "The Voices rose to her,
insistent : ' Jeanne, we have such great pity for you ! You must
revoke what you have said, or we must deliver you over to secular
justice. . . Jeanne, do as you are bid. Do you desire your own
death ? ' " (France, Vie de Jeanne d'Arc, vol. ii. pp. 363, 364 ;
citing Prods, vol. iii. p. 123). In Prods, vol. iii. p. 122, the
words, or most of them, are attributed, not to the Voices, but to
"Midi, who did the preaching." The witness means Erard.
NOTES 369
The Voices did not, as in M. France's version, insist on being
abjured !

discard all these sworn reports as to attacks on the modesty of
Jeanne as mere propos de cloitre et de sacristie. But Jeanne had
said enough when she said that " it was more lawful and con-
venient for her to wear man's dress when among men." That
actual violence had been successfully attempted is not to be credited,
because of a later remark of her own ; for which, however, the
evidence is in the posthumous proceedings, and because, in 1456,
Ladvenu admits that this did not occur, though in 1450 he said
that it did.
