Concerning a repeat of this performance when Beauvais later declared itself for Charles VII, see "Journal du Siège d'Orléans": "... certain French lords entered the city of Beauvais, whose Bishop and Count was master Pierre Cauchon, who was strongly in favor of the English faction although he was native to the region around Rheims. But despite this, the citizens rendered full obedience to the King... and they granted leave to all those who weren't willing to abide by this declaration of obedience and allowed them to depart peacefully with their belongings."(For the original language, see: Quicherat's "Procès...", Vol IV, p. 190).
