I was not present at the last preaching and condemnation and execution of Jeanne, because my heart could not bear it, for pity of her; but I heard that she received the Body of the Lord before her condemnation. Maître Jean Tressart, when he returned from the execution, groaning and weeping sadly, lamented to me what he had seen at this place, saying to me: “We are all lost; we have burnt a Saint”; adding, that he believed her soul was in the hands of God because, when she was in the midst of the flames, she constantly called on the name of the Lord Jesus. _Third Examination, May 11th, 1456._ [_Additional evidence_:] I had heard of the visitation ordered by the Duchess of Bedford, but did not know if it were true. After her death, the English had her ashes collected and thrown into the Seine, because they feared that some might believe she had escaped. LADVENU: _Second Examination, May 3rd, 1452._ [_He adds the following to his earlier testimony_:] I often saw her in the Castle of Rouen, under the custody of the English, ironed and in prison. I heard Jeanne, by license of the Judges, in confession; I administered to her the Body of Christ; she received it with great devotion and tears which I cannot describe. The resumption of her man’s dress was one of the causes of her condemnation. _Third Examination, May 9th, 1452._ [_Additional evidence_:] I was present at the greater part of the Process, with Brother Jean Lemaître, then Sub-Inquisitor. I saw Maître Nicolas de Houppeville—he who would not assist in the Process—taken to prison. I know well that Jeanne had no director, counsel, nor defender, up to the end of the Process, and that no one would have dared to offer himself as her Counsel, director, or defender, for fear of the English. I have heard that those who went to the Castle to counsel and direct Jeanne, by order of the Judges, were harshly repulsed and threatened. Directly Jeanne was abandoned by the Church, she was seized by the English soldiers, who were present in large numbers, without any sentence from the secular authority, although the Bailly of Rouen and the Counsels of the Secular Court were present. I know this because I was with her, from the Castle to her last breath. The executioner, in my presence, gave his testimony that she had been unjustly put to death. Maître Guillaume Érard, at the sermon which he pronounced at the Cemetery of Saint-Ouen, exclaimed: “Oh, House of France! thou hast never till now nourished a monster in thy bosom; but now thou art disgraced by thy adhesion to this witch, this heretic! this superstitious one!” _Fourth Examination, December 19th, 1455, and May 13th, 1456._ [_Additional statements_:]
