Footnote 517

From Louis de Coutes' testimony on April 3, 1456: "...one time, a Frenchman was leading some English prisoners and struck one of them on the head, so that he left him as if dead. Jehanne, seeing this, dismounted her horse and took the Englishman's confession, holding his head and comforting him as much as possible." (For the original language, see DuParc's "Procès en Nullité...", Vol I, p. 366; and Quicherat's "Procès...", Vol III, pp. 71 - 72. For translations, see Oursel's "Les Procès de Jeanne d'Arc", p. 276; and Pernoud's "The Retrial of Joan of Arc", p. 158.)
