THE TWELVE ARTICLES OF ACCUSATION.
ARTICLE I.
A woman doth say and affirm that when she was of the age of thirteen
years or thereabouts, she did, with her bodily eyes, see Saint Michael
come to comfort her, and from time to time also Saint Gabriel; that both
the one and the other appeared to her in bodily form. Sometimes also she
hath seen a great multitude of Angels; since then, Saint Catherine and
Saint Margaret have shewn themselves to her in bodily form; every day
she sees these two Saints and hears their voices; she hath often kissed
and embraced them, and sometimes she hath touched them, in a physical
and corporeal manner. She hath seen the heads of these Angels and these
Saints, but of the rest of their persons and of their dress she will say
nothing. The said Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret have also formerly
spoken to her near a spring which flows at the foot of a great tree,
called in the neighbourhood “The Fairies’ Tree.” This spring and this
tree nevertheless have been, it is said, frequented by fairies; persons
ill of fever have repaired there in great numbers to recover their
health. This spring and this tree are nevertheless in a profane place.
There and elsewhere she hath often venerated these two Saints, and hath
done them obeisance.
Besides this, she doth say that Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret
appear and shew themselves to her adorned with most beautiful and most
precious crowns. At this time and very often since, they have announced
to her, by the order of God, that she was to go in search of a certain
secular Prince, promising that, by her help and succour, this same
Prince should, by force of arms, recover a great temporal domain and the
honour of this world, and should obtain victory over his adversaries:
this same Prince received her, and furnished her with arms and soldiers
for the carrying out of what has just been said. Further, Saint
Catherine and Saint Margaret have ordered this same woman, by the
command of God, to take and to wear a man’s dress, which she hath borne
and doth still bear, persisting in obeying this order, to the extent
that she saith she would rather die than give up this dress, adding that
she will only abandon it by the express order of God. She hath even
preferred not to assist in the Office of the Mass and to deprive herself
of the Holy Communion of the Eucharist, at the time when the Church
commands the faithful to receive it, rather than to resume female dress
and to quit this man’s habit.
The said woman hath gone so far, under the inspiration of these two
Saints, that without the knowledge and against the will of her parents,
at the age of seventeen, she did quit the paternal roof and joined
herself to a great troop of soldiers, with whom she lived night and day,
having never had, or at least very rarely, another woman with her. These
two Saints have said and prescribed to her many other things for the
which she declares herself sent by the God of Heaven and the Church
Victorious, composed of Saints who already enjoy celestial blessedness;
it is to them that she submits as right all she hath done. As to the
Church Militant, she hath deferred and refused to submit herself, her
deeds, and her words to it, although many times required and admonished
so to do, saying always that it is impossible to her to do contrary to
what she hath, in her Trial, affirmed to have done by the order of God;
and that for these things she will not refer to the decision or the
judgment of any man alive, but to the judgment of God alone.
The said Saints have revealed to this woman that she will obtain the
glory of the blessed and will gain the salvation of her soul if she doth
preserve the virginity which she vowed to these Saints the first time
she saw and recognized them. As a result of this revelation, she doth
affirm that she is as assured of her salvation as if, now and in fact,
she were already in the Kingdom of Heaven.
ARTICLE II.
The same woman saith that the sign which was received by the Prince to
whom she was sent—a sign which decided this Prince to believe in her and
to aid her to carry on the war—was, that Saint Michael came to the said
Prince, accompanied by a multitude of Angels, of which some had crowns
and others had wings; with them also were Saint Catherine and Saint
Margaret. She and the Angel proceeded together, their feet touching the
ground, by the road, the staircase, and the Prince’s chamber; the Angel
was accompanied by other Angels and by the said two Saints; he gave to
the Prince a crown, very precious and made of the purest gold, bowing
before him and doing him reverence. Once she hath said that when her
Prince received this sign, it seemed to her he was alone, although many
other persons were close by; another time she hath said that it seemed
to her that an Archbishop had received the sign of the crown and had
given it to the Prince, in the presence of several temporal lords.
ARTICLE III.
The same woman doth say and affirm that he who visits her is Saint
Michael; that which makes her believe in him is the good counsel, the
comfort, and the good teaching which he doth give her, and because he
hath named himself to her, and hath told her that he was Saint Michael.
She hath in the same way recognized Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret;
she knoweth how to distinguish the one from the other, because they name
themselves to her and greet her.
On the subject of the pretended Saint Michael who appeared to her, she
believes that it is truly Saint Michael; and the sayings and deeds of
this Michael she believes to be true and good as firmly as she believes
that Our Lord Jesus suffered and died for our redemption.
ARTICLE IV.
The same woman doth say and affirm that she is certain of what should
happen on the subject of certain future things, as surely as she is
certain of those which she sees passing under her eyes. On the subject
of occult things she doth boast to know or to have known them by means
of the revelations which have been made to her by the Voices of Saint
Catherine and Saint Margaret: for example, that she will be delivered
from her captivity, and that the French will do, under her guidance, the
greatest exploits that they have ever done in all Christendom; for
example, again, she saith she hath known by revelation without any one
pointing them out to her, men whom she had never seen, and herself
revealed and pointed out the existence of a sword which was hidden in
the earth.
ARTICLE V.
The same woman doth say and affirm that, by the command and good
pleasure of God, she hath taken and borne and continueth still to bear a
man’s dress. Further, she doth say that, because she hath had God’s
command to bear this habit, it was necessary that she should have a
short tunic, cap, jerkin, breeches, hose with many points, hair cut
close above her ears, keeping no garment which might indicate her sex.
She doth say and affirm that she hath, in this dress, several times
received the Sacrament of the Eucharist. She hath not desired and doth
still not desire to resume woman’s dress, although many times required
and charitably admonished so to do. At times she saith that she would
rather die than leave off the dress which she bears; at times she saith
that she will leave it off only by the command of God. She doth also
say, that if she again found herself with this dress among those for
whom she hath armed herself, she would act as she did before her
capture; and this would be, she doth add, one of the greatest benefits
that could happen to the whole kingdom of France. Also, for nothing in
the world will she swear to wear this dress or to take arms no more. In
all this she doth say that she hath done and doeth well, obeying God and
His Commandments.
ARTICLE VI.
The same woman doth avow and acknowledge that she hath caused to be
written many letters and warnings on the which were placed these names
“_Jhésus Maria_,” with the sign of the Cross. Sometimes, she put a
cross, and between her and her party this signified that she did not
wish them to do what in this same letter she told them to do. At other
times she caused it to be written that she would have those who did not
obey her warnings killed, and “by the blows she would give they would
see who had the true right from the God of Heaven.” She hath often said
that she hath done nothing but by the revelation and order of God.
ARTICLE VII.
The same woman doth say and confess that, being of the age of seventeen,
by revelation, as she saith, and spontaneously, she went to seek a
Knight whom she had never seen, abandoning for this the paternal roof,
against the will of her parents. These, when they had knowledge of her
departure, were wild with grief. This same woman ordered the Knight to
conduct her, or to have her conducted, to the Prince already mentioned.
The said Knight, or Captain, furnished this woman, on her demand, with a
man’s dress and a sword, and appointed and commanded for her conduct a
Knight, a Squire, and four servants. When they had come to the Prince,
this woman told him that she wished to fight against his adversaries.
She promised to establish him in great sovereignty and to vanquish his
enemies; and for this she had been sent by the God of Heaven. She saith
she hath acted well, having had revelation and the command of God.
ARTICLE VIII.
The same woman doth say and affirm that she, of herself, no one
compelling her, did throw herself down from a very high tower, wishing
rather to die than to be placed in the hands of her enemies and to live
after the destruction of the town of Compiègne. She saith also that she
was not able to avoid this fall, although Saint Catherine and Saint
Margaret had forbidden it to her. To offend them is, she herself saith,
a great sin. But she knoweth that this sin was remitted to her after she
had confessed it; she saith she received revelation of this.
ARTICLE IX.
The same woman saith that Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret have
promised to conduct her to Paradise, if she doth preserve with care the
virginity of body and soul which she vowed to them. Of this she saith
she is as assured as if she were already in the glory of the blessed.
She doth not think she hath committed mortal sin; for, if she were in a
state of mortal sin, she saith it seemeth to her that Saint Catherine
and Saint Margaret would not visit her each day as they do.
ARTICLE X.
The same woman doth say and affirm that God doth love sundry persons
still living, designated by her and named, more than He doth this woman:
this, she knoweth by revelation from Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret,
who speak frequently to her, but in French and not in English, because
these Saints are not on the side of the English. Since she hath known by
revelation that their Voices were for the Prince aforesaid she hath
ceased to love the Burgundians.
ARTICLE XI.
The same woman doth say and confess that to the Voices and the Spirits
now under consideration, whom she calls Michael, Gabriel, Catherine and
Margaret, she doth often do reverence, uncovering, bending the knee,
kissing the earth on which they walk, vowing to them her virginity, at
times kissing and embracing Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret; she hath
touched them with her own hands, corporeally and physically; she hath
asked of them counsel and help; at times she doth call them, and they
even come to her without being called; she accedes to and obeys their
counsels and their commands; she hath always obeyed them, without having
asked counsel thereon from whomsoever it be—father, mother, curé,
prelate, or any ecclesiastic whatsoever. She doth believe no less firmly
that the Voices and the revelations she receives by the medium of the
Saints of whom she speaks come from God and by His order: she believes
it as firmly as she believes the Christian Faith and that Our Lord Jesus
Christ suffered for us Death and Passion. She doth add that, if it were
an evil spirit who had come to her under the appearance and mask of
Saint Michael she would quite well have known how to distinguish that it
was not Saint Michael. Finally she saith, that of her own wish and
without any one pressing her thereto, she hath sworn to Saint Catherine
and Saint Margaret, who appeared to her, to reveal to no one the sign of
the crown given to the Prince to whom she was sent, until she should
have permission from God to reveal it.
ARTICLE XII.
The same woman doth say and confess that if the Church wished that she
should do anything contrary to the order she doth pretend to have
received from God, she would not consent, whatsoever it might be. She
doth affirm that she knows well, that all contained in her Trial has
come to her by the order of God, and it would be impossible for her to
do contrary to what she doth. Thereupon she doth not wish to refer to
the decision of the Church Militant, nor to any one, whoever it be in
the world, but to God alone, Our Lord, Whose commands she doth always
execute, above all in what doth concern her revelations, and in what she
doth in consequence. This answer and all the others are not from her own
head, she saith, but she hath made and given them by order of her Voices
and revelations: she doth persist [in this], although by the Judges and
others of the Assessors, the Article of Faith, ‘The Church, One, Holy,
Catholic,’ hath often been recalled to her, and it hath often been shewn
to her that all the faithful are bound to obey the Church Militant and
to submit to it their words and actions—above all in matters of faith
and in all which concerns sacred Doctrine and Ecclesiastical sanction.
INTRODUCTORY NOTE TO THE REHABILITATION.
It was not until nearly twenty years after the death of Jeanne d’Arc
that any attempt was made by those in authority to vindicate her memory
or even to acknowledge the services she had rendered to the kingdom of
France.
In 1450, however, after the occupation of Normandy and the submission of
the town of Rouen, the idea appeared to have occurred to Charles VII.
that to suffer the stigma of heresy and witchcraft to rest on the name
of the Maid of Orleans, who had “led him to his anointing,” was to throw
a doubt upon his own orthodoxy, and to justify the taunt of his enemies
that he had been the mere tool of “a lyme of the Fiend.” On February
13th, 1450, therefore, he issued a Declaration empowering one of his
Counsellors, Guillaume Bouillé, to enquire into the conduct of the Trial
undertaken against Jeanne by “our ancient enemies the English,” who,
“against reason, had cruelly put her to death,” and to report the result
of his investigations to the Council.
Bouillé was Rector of the University of Paris, Dean of the Theological
Faculty, Dean of Noyon, a Member of the Great Council, and at one time
Ambassador to Rome. It is very probable that he was the author of the
first memorial issued in favour of Jeanne, throwing doubts upon the
validity of the Rouen sentence—a memorial which, according to some, was
prior to the Enquiry of 1450 with which we are now dealing.
It was to an able and competent person therefore, that Charles committed
the Enquiry, which was held at Rouen on March 4th and 5th, less than
three weeks after the issue of the Royal Mandate.
Seven witnesses were heard; namely, Toutmouillé, de la Pierre, Ladvenu,
and Duval,—all Dominicans of Saint Jacques, Rouen; the Notary Manchon,
the Usher Massieu, and Beaupère, one of the chief Examiners. But the
Court took no further interest in the matter; and, although in the
opinion of several legal authorities consulted by De Bouillé, the
Process of Condemnation was held as null and void, the proceedings were
carried no further: the Enquiry was forwarded to the King and Council,
and the whole question once more fell into abeyance.
Two years later, the Cardinal-Bishop of Digne, Guillaume d’Estouteville,
Legate in France for Pope Nicholas V. took up the Enquiry, at the formal
request of Isabel d’Arc, mother of the Maid, who claimed, on Civil as
well as on Ecclesiastical authority, the rehabilitation of her daughter,
and the restoration of the family to the position they had lost by the
imputation of heresy cast on them in the person of one of their number.
The failure of the former Enquiry was due, in great part, to the fear of
arousing the hostility of the English, and also of meeting with
opposition from the Ecclesiastical authorities, by bringing forward an
action instituted by the Sovereign against proceedings which had
received the unquestioned sanction of the Holy Office and the University
of Paris, and which were also guaranteed by the protection of the
English King. The expedient of shifting the entire responsibility on to
the shoulders of the d’Arc family obviated these difficulties, and
enabled the Case to be taken as a purely private one, an appeal against
a judgment given on false premisses. The reversal of this verdict could
offend no one, as the action was brought against Defendants none of whom
were living to meet the charge, and who could therefore be represented
only by their titular legal successors. Their innocence in the whole
matter made the case a perfectly harmless one—a legal fiction which
might satisfy many and could injure none.
The first act of the Cardinal d’Estouteville was to associate with
himself the Prior of the Convent of the Jacobins at Paris, Jean Bréhal,
Inquisitor of France; and, together, they proceeded to an Enquiry at
Rouen in April, 1452, at which witnesses to the number of twenty-one,
including some of those heard in 1450, gave their evidence. The Cardinal
being obliged by his duties to leave Rouen, the Enquiry was left in the
hands of Bréhal and of Philippe la Rose, the Treasurer of the Cathedral.
There were still difficulties in the way. The Pope feared to wound
English susceptibilities; and, in spite of the efforts of the Cardinal
and of the petition presented to Rome by Isabel d’Arc and her two sons,
the proceeding languished; and three more years passed without any
definite step being taken.
In 1455, however, the Pope Nicholas V. died, and his successor Calixtus
III. [Borgia], less timorous, acceded to the request of the d’Arc
family, granting a Rescript authorizing the process of revision, and
appointing as delegates for the Trial the Archbishop of Rheims (Jean
Jouvenal des Ursins), the Bishop of Paris (Guillaume Chartier), and the
Bishop of Coutances (Richard de Longueil), who afterwards associated
with themselves the Inquisitor, Jean Bréhal.
The Case was solemnly opened on November 7th, 1455, in the Church of
Notre Dame at Paris, when the mother and brothers of the Maid came
before the Court to present their humble petition for a revision of her
sentence, demanding only “the triumph of truth and justice.” The Court
heard the request with some emotion. When Isabel d’Arc threw herself at
the feet of the Commissioners, shewing the Papal Rescript and weeping
aloud, while her Advocate, Pierre Maugier, and his assistants prayed for
justice for her and for the memory of her martyred daughter, so many of
those present joined aloud in the petition, that at last, we are told,
it seemed that one great cry for justice broke from the multitude.
The Commissioners formally received the petition, and appointed November
17th, ten days later, for its consideration, warning the Petitioners of
the possible danger of a confirmation of the previous Trial, instead of
the reversal they looked for, but promising careful consideration of the
Case should they persist in their appeal.
On November 17th the Court met a second time at Notre Dame; the Papal
Rescript was solemnly read, and the Advocate for the Petitioners brought
his formal accusation against the Judges and Promoter of the late
Trial—none of whom, as has been said, were then alive—carefully
excluding the Assessors concerned in the case, who, he said, were led to
wrong conclusions by false deductions. At the close of the Advocate’s
address, the Archbishop of Rheims and the Bishop of Paris declared
themselves ready to act as Judges in the Appeal Case, in conjunction
with the Inquisitor Bréhal, appointing the following December 12th for
the inaugural sitting, and citing all those concerned in this Case to
appear before them on that day.
The Trial opened on December 12th. The family of d’Arc were represented
by the Procurator, Guillaume Prévosteau, who had formerly been appointed
Promoter in the case instituted by Cardinal d’Estouteville: but the
Plaintiffs alone were represented, no one appearing to answer for either
of the accused Judges nor for the Promoter d’Estivet. The Case was
adjourned until December 15th, in order that Advocates for the
Defendants might be summoned to appear.
The Court met accordingly on the 15th December; but, in spite of
mandates and citations placed on Church-doors and other public places,
no one was found to come forward as representatives of the accused; and
a further delay of five days was therefore granted. At the same time,
the Commissioners formally constituted the Tribunal and appointed their
Officers: Simon Chapitault as Promoter or Advocate-General, Ferrebouc
and Lecomte as Registrars for the Court. The Registrars of the former
Trial, being present, were asked if they wished in any way to defend the
Process in which they had been concerned; but, on their replying in the
negative, they were requested to lay before the Court any documents
relating to the previous Trial which they might have in their
possession. By this means the Commissioners were enabled to have before
them the actual Minute of the Trial of 1431, written in Manchon’s own
hand and presented by him, and also to obtain his formal attestation of
the authenticity of the Official Procès-Verbal, upon which their further
enquiries were to be based.
The “Preliminary Enquiry” made in 1452, by command of the Cardinal
d’Estouteville and his delegates, was formally annexed, by request of
the Promoter, to the official documents of the Trial of Rehabilitation;
but the earlier Enquiry of 1450, having been made under secular
authority, was unfortunately treated as of no value, and not included in
the authorized Case.
On December 18th the Promoter lodged his request on the part of the
family of d’Arc, and prayed for a Judgment of Nullity on the previous
sentence, on the ground that, both in form and substantiation, it was
null and void, and that it should therefore be publicly and legally so
declared.
On December 20th—the last day appointed for the appearance of any
representatives of the accused—only the Advocate for the family of
Cauchon presented himself. He made a declaration to the effect that the
heirs of the late Bishop had no desire to maintain the validity of a
Trial with which they had no concern, and which took place either before
they were born or when they were very little children; that Jeanne had
been the victim of the hatred of the English, and that therefore the
responsibility fell rather upon them; finally they begged that the
Rehabilitation of Jeanne might not be to their prejudice, invoking for
themselves the benefits of the King’s amnesty granted after the conquest
of Normandy.
The Procurator having declared his willingness to agree, the heirs of
Cauchon were put out of the question; and the other Defendants, not
having appeared, were declared contumacious, and cited once more to
appear on February 16th following. On the same day [Dec. 20th] the
Promoter formulated his Accusation, and brought before the notice of the
Court certain special points in the previous Trial which tended to
vitiate the whole: 1st, the intervention of the hidden registrars and
the alterations, additions, and omissions made in the Twelve Articles;
2nd, the suppression of the Preliminary Enquiry, and the obvious
predisposition of the Judges; 3rd, the incompetence of the Court, and
the unfairness of the treatment received throughout by the Accused,
culminating in an illegal sentence and an irregular execution.
The Promoter then asked that enquiries might be instituted into the life
and conduct of the Maid, and as to the manner in which she had
undertaken the reconquest of the country. Orders were accordingly given,
that information should at once be taken at Domremy and Vaucouleurs,
under the direction of Reginald de Chichery, Dean of Vaucouleurs, and of
Wautrin Thierry, Canon of Toul.
While these enquiries were being made, a document containing 101
Articles was drawn up,[295] setting forth the case of the Plaintiffs for
the consideration of the still-absent Defendants, and stating at great
length the grounds, both in fact and reason, for the demand of a
revision of sentence.
On the day fixed for the final citation of the Defendants—Feb. 16th,
1456,—the Court again assembled; and on this occasion the accused were
represented by their legal successors: the Promoter of the Diocese of
Beauvais, Brédouille, as representative of the authority of the Bishop,
Guillaume de Hellande; and Chaussetier, the Prior of the Convent of
Evreux, as representing the Dominicans of Beauvais, to whose Order Jean
Lemaître, the other Judge of the Maid, belonged. Both of these
disclaimed any responsibility for the former Trial, but submitted
themselves to the mandate of the Court; and, no objection being offered
to the 101 Articles, these were accepted by the Judges, and the case was
proceeded with.
The Enquiry of 1456 extended over several months. Thirty-four witnesses
were heard, in January and February, at Domremy and Vaucouleurs;
forty-one, in February and March, at Orleans; twenty at Paris, in April
and May; nineteen at Rouen, in December and May; and on May 28th, at
Lyons, the Vice-Inquisitor of the province received the deposition of
Jean d’Aulon, whose evidence is specially important, as being that of
the Steward of the Maid’s household, and the most devoted of her
followers.
After the close of these Enquiries and their formal reception as part of
the Process, the Advocate of the d’Arc family petitioned the Judges to
give their attention to certain Memorials drawn up on the Case by
learned men, which documents he prayed might also be inserted among the
formal proceedings of the Trial. The request being granted, Eight
Memorials were presented and formally annexed to the Authentic Documents
of the Process. The whole case was then admirably summed up, for the
guidance of the Judges, in the ‘Recollectio’ of the Inquisitor, Jean
Bréhal, and on this document the final Sentence of Rehabilitation was
subsequently based.
On the 18th of June, Jean d’Arc and the Promoter, Chapitault in the name
of the Plaintiffs, appeared at the Palace of the Bishop of Paris, and
prayed that a day might be fixed for the conclusion of the Case. In
answer to this request the following 1st of July was appointed for the
purpose, and an announcement to that effect was ordered to be placed on
all the doors of the Cathedral at Rouen.
On July 2nd the Pontifical Delegates met and appointed the following
Wednesday, July 7th, for the pronouncement of the final Sentence; and on
that day, at 8 a.m., the Court assembled in the Hall of the
Archiepiscopal Palace, and the formal Sentence of Rehabilitation was
solemnly read by the Archbishop of Rheims. This was followed by a
procession and sermon on the same day in the Place St. Ouen, and by a
second sermon on the day following in the Old Market Place, where a
Cross to perpetuate the memory of the martyrdom was then erected, “for
the salvation of her soul.” This Cross remained until the end of the
following century, when it was replaced by a fountain, with a statue of
the Maid under an arcade surmounted by a Cross; the fountain now
standing was erected in 1756.
