He left the Celestins of "Joyeux Repos," near the Tour du Colombier,[46] a small legacy, and benefactions to many other abbeys and churches in the town. Though the canons did not get their golden treasure by any means intact, or indeed get any part of it without protracted struggles, they always took good care of his tomb, which was certainly in excellent preservation before the Calvinists of 1562 began a destruction which was completed by the Revolution. An inscription, however, was left on an adjacent pillar, and this was copied by Dugdale. The ostrich feathers and the order of the garter were shown upon the brass besides the epitaph. In 1866 his coffin was found still in its original position on the right side of the altar, and nothing more is now left of him in Rouen. [Footnote 46: After the Duke of Bedford had given the Celestins their Monastery, Charles VII. further assisted them by taking off all taxes on their wine. In recognition of this a monk used to dance and sing in front of the Monastic barrels as they were rolled past the Governor's house. Occasionally the combination of good claret and freedom from taxation overcame the monk's discretion, and the old proverb "Voila un plaisant Celestin" preserves the memory of some such amiably festive ecclesiastic. The "Oison bride" of the monks of St. Ouen was another instance of the way in which feudal privileges were commemorated by queer ceremonials which long outlived the society that gave them birth.] [Illustration] CHAPTER IX _Jeanne d'Arc and the English Occupation_ "Je scay bien que les Angloys me feront mourir, croyant qu' apres ma mort ils gagneront le royaume de France; mais quand meme ils seraient cent mille godons de plus qu'ils ne sont presentement, ils n'auraient pas ce royaume."
