[Footnote 1216: Fragment of a letter concerning the wonders which happened in Poitou, in _Trial_, vol. v, p. 122.] [Footnote 1217: _Relation du greffier de La Rochelle_, p. 340. Morosini, vol. iii, p. 70. _Trial_, vol. v, pp. 121-122.] John Pole, Suffolk's brother, was likewise taken on the bridge. The Duke's third brother, Alexander Pole, was slain in the same place or drowned in the Loire.[1218] [Footnote 1218: _Trial_, vol. iii, p. 72. Perceval de Cagny, p. 151. _Journal du siege_, p. 99. Monstrelet, vol. iv, p. 328. Morosini, vol. iii, pp. 128, 129.] The garrison surrendered at discretion. Now, as always, no great harm was done during the battle, but afterwards the conquerors made up for it. Five hundred English were massacred; the nobles alone were held to ransom. And over them, the French fell to quarrelling. The French nobles kept them all for themselves; the train-bands claimed their share, and, not getting it, began to destroy everything. What the nobles could save was carried off during the night, by water, to Orleans. The town was completely sacked; the old church, which had served the _Godons_ as a magazine, was pillaged.[1219] [Footnote 1219: _Journal du siege_, p. 99.] Including killed and wounded, the French had not lost twenty men.[1220] [Footnote 1220: Perceval de Cagny, p. 151. _Chronique de la Pucelle_, p. 302. Jean Chartier, _Chronique_, vol. i, pp. 82, 83. Berry, in _Trial_, vol. iv, p. 65.] Without disarming, the Maid and the knights returned to Orleans. To celebrate the taking of Jargeau, the magistrates organised a public procession. An eloquent sermon was preached by a Jacobin monk, Brother Robert Baignart.[1221] [Footnote 1221: Accounts of the town of Orleans at the end of _Le Journal du siege_, ed. Charpentier and Cuissard, p. 229. Le R.P. Chapotin, _La guerre de cent ans, Jeanne d'Arc et les Dominicains_, Paris, 1889, 8vo, p. 82.] The inhabitants of Orleans presented the Duke of Alencon with six casks of wine, the Maid with four, the Count of Vendome with two.[1222] [Footnote 1222: A. de Villaret, _Campagne des Anglais_, proofs and illustrations, p. 51.] As an acknowledgment of the good and acceptable services rendered by the holy maiden, the councillors of the captive Duke Charles of Orleans, gave her a green cloak and a robe of crimson Flemish cloth or fine Brussels purple. Jean Luillier, who furnished the stuff, asked eight crowns for two ells of fine Brussels at four crowns the ell; two crowns for the lining of the robe; two crowns for an ell of yellowish green cloth, making in all twelve golden crowns.[1223] Jean Luillier was a young woollen draper who adored the Maid and regarded her as an angel of God. He had a good heart; but fear of the English dazzled him, and where they were concerned caused him to see double.[1224] One of his kinsfolk was a member of the council elected in 1429. He himself was to be appointed magistrate a little later.[1225] [Footnote 1223: _Trial_, vol. v, pp. 112-113.]
