Footnote 383
From the deposition of the Duke of Alencon: "... then there was
a dispute between the captains, because some were of the opinion
that they should make an assault on the town, others of the
opposite, declaring that the English were in great numbers and
strength. Jehanne, seeing the difficulties between them,
said that they had nothing to fear; that they shouldn't fear any
number [of troops], nor make difficulties about attacking the
English, because God was overseeing their work; saying that, if
she were not secure in the knowledge that God was overseeing
this work, she would have preferred to watch over the sheep rather
than expose herself to such perils. And having heard this, they
set their route towards the town of Jargeau..."
