All which precedes having already taken place, as has been said up to the present time, We, the Bishop, and Brother Jean Lemaître, Deputy of the Inquisitor, have from this moment proceeded together to all the remainder of the Process, and have questioned or caused questions to be made as it had begun. _Tuesday, March 13th.—Present: The Bishop, and Brother Jean Lemaître, Jean Delafontaine, Nicolas Midi, Gerard Feuillet; in the presence of Nicolas de Houbent and of Brother Ysambard de la Pierre._ By Our order, Jeanne was asked as follows: “What was the sign you gave your King?” “Will you be satisfied that I should perjure myself?” “Have you promised and sworn to Saint Catherine that you will not tell this sign?” “I promised and swore not to tell this sign, and for my own sake, because I was pressed too much to tell it, and then I said to myself: ‘I promise not to speak of it to any one in the world.’ The sign was that an Angel assured my King, in bringing him the crown, that he should have the whole realm of France, by the means of God’s help and my labours; that he was to start me on the work—that is to say, to give me men-at-arms; and that otherwise he would not be so soon crowned and consecrated.” “Have you spoken to Saint Catherine since yesterday?” “I have heard her since yesterday, and she has several times told me to reply boldly to the Judges on what they shall ask me touching my Case.” “How did the Angel carry the crown? and did he place it himself on your King’s head?” “The crown was given to an Archbishop—that is, to the Archbishop of Rheims—so it seems to me, in the presence of my King. The Archbishop received it, and gave it to the King. I was myself present. The crown was afterwards put among my King’s treasures.” “To what place was the crown brought?” “To the King’s Chamber, in the Castle of Chinon.” “What day and what time?” “The day, I do not know; of the time, it was full day. I have no further recollection of it. Of the month it was March or April, it seems to me. In this present month of March or next April it will be two years since. It was after Easter.”[69] “Was it the first day that you saw the sign when the King saw it?” “Yes, he had it the same day.” “Of what material was the said crown?” “It is well to know it was of fine gold; it was so rich that I do not know how to count its riches or to appreciate its beauty. The crown signified that my King should possess the Kingdom of France.” “Were there stones in it?” “I have told you what I know about it.” “Did you touch or kiss it?” “No.” “Did the Angel who brought this crown come from Heaven or earth?”
