Before she had been handed over to the English, she had attempted to escape by desperately throwing herself from the window of the tower of Beaurevoir, an act of seeming presumption for which she was much browbeaten by her judges. This also served as a pretext for the harshness shown regarding her confinement at Rouen, where she was at first kept in an iron cage, chained by the neck, hands, and feet. On the other hand she was allowed no spiritual privileges -- e. As regards the official record of the trial, which, so far as the Latin version goes, seems to be preserved entire, we may probably trust its accuracy in all that relates to the questions asked and the answers returned by the prisoner.

These answers are in every way favourable to Joan. Her simplicity, piety, and good sense appear at every turn, despite the attempts of the judges to confuse her. They pressed her regarding her visions, but upon many points she refused to answer. It was probably because the Maid's answers perceptibly won sympathizers for her in a large assembly that Cauchon decided to conduct the rest of the inquiry before a small committee of judges in the prison itself.

We may remark that the only matter in which any charge of prevarication can be reasonably urged against Joan's replies occurs especially in this stage of the inquiry. Joan, pressed about the secret sign given to the king, declared that an angel brought him a golden crown, but on further questioning she seems to have grown confused and to have contradicted herself. Most authorities like, e.

Petit de Julleville and Mr. Andrew Lang are agreed that she was trying to guard the king's secret behind an allegory, she herself being the angel ; but others -- for instance P. On another point she was prejudiced by her lack of education. The judges asked her to submit herself to "the Church Militant. It was asserted later that Joan's reluctance to pledge herself to a simple acceptance of the Church's decisions was due to some insidious advice treacherously imparted to her to work her ruin.

St. Albertus Magnus

But the accounts of this alleged perfidy are contradictory and improbable. The examinations terminated on 17 March. Seventy propositions were then drawn up, forming a very disorderly and unfair presentment of Joan's "crimes," but, after she had been permitted to hear and reply to these, another set of twelve were drafted, better arranged and less extravagantly worded.

With this summary of her misdeeds before them, a large majority of the twenty-two judges who took part in the deliberations declared Joan's visions and voices to be " false and diabolical," and they decided that if she refused to retract she was to be handed over to the secular arm -- which was the same as saying that she was to be burned.

Certain formal admonitions, at first private, and then public, were administered to the poor victim 18 April and 2 May , but she refused to make any submission which the judges could have considered satisfactory. On 9 May she was threatened with torture, but she still held firm.

In Honor of John Monfasani

Meanwhile, the twelve propositions were submitted to the University of Paris , which, being extravagantly English in sympathy, denounced the Maid in violent terms. Strong in this approval, the judges, forty-seven in number, held a final deliberation, and forty-two reaffirmed that Joan ought to be declared heretical and handed over to the civil power, if she still refused to retract.

Another admonition followed in the prison on 22 May, but Joan remained unshaken. The next day a stake was erected in the cemetery of St-Ouen, and in the presence of a great crowd she was solemnly admonished for the last time.

After a courageous protest against the preacher's insulting reflections on her king, Charles VII, the accessories of the scene seem at last to have worked upon mind and body worn out by so many struggles. Her courage for once failed her. She consented to sign some sort of retraction, but what the precise terms of that retraction were will never be known. In the official record of the process a form of retraction is in inserted which is most humiliating in every particular.

It is a long document which would have taken half an hour to read. What was read aloud to Joan and was signed by her must have been something quite different, for five witnesses at the rehabilitation trial, including Jean Massieu, the official who had himself read it aloud, declared that it was only a matter of a few lines. Even so, the poor victim did not sign unconditionally, but plainly declared that she only retracted in so far as it was God's will.

However, in virtue of this concession, Joan was not then burned, but conducted back to prison. The English and Burgundians were furious, but Cauchon, it seems, placated them by saying, "We shall have her yet.

Moreover, as one of the points upon which she had been condemned was the wearing of male apparel, a resumption of that attire would alone constitute a relapse into heresy, and this within a few days happened, owing, it was afterwards alleged, to a trap deliberately laid by her jailers with the connivance of Cauchon. Joan, either to defend her modesty from outrage, or because her women's garments were taken from her, or, perhaps, simply because she was weary of the struggle and was convinced that her enemies were determined to have her blood upon some pretext, once more put on the man's dress which had been purposely left in her way.

The end now came soon. On 29 May a court of thirty-seven judges decided unanimously that the Maid must be treated as a relapsed heretic, and this sentence was actually carried out the next day 30 May, amid circumstances of intense pathos. She is said, when the judges visited her early in the morning, first to have charged Cauchon with the responsibility of her death, solemnly appealing from him to God, and afterwards to have declared that "her voices had deceived her.

We cannot be sure whether such words were ever used, and, even if they were, the meaning is not plain. She was, however, allowed to make her confession and to receive Communion. Her demeanour at the stake was such as to move even her bitter enemies to tears.

She asked for a cross, which, after she had embraced it, was held up before her while she called continuously upon the name of Jesus. The popular feeling was then very different, and, with but the rarest exceptions, all the witnesses were eager to render their tribute to the virtues and supernatural gifts of the Maid. The first trial had been conducted without reference to the pope ; indeed it was carried out in defiance of St.

Joan's appeal to the head of the Church. Now an appellate court constituted by the pope, after long inquiry and examination of witnesses, reversed and annulled the sentence pronounced by a local tribunal under Cauchon's presidency. The illegality of the former proceedings was made clear, and it speaks well for the sincerity of this new inquiry that it could not be made without inflicting some degree of reproach upon both the King of France and the Church at large, seeing that so great an injustice had been done and had so long been suffered to continue unredressed.

Even before the rehabilitation trial, keen observers, like Eneas Sylvius Piccolomini afterwards Pope Pius II , though still in doubt as to her mission, had discerned something of the heavenly character of the Maid.

Are You an Author?

In Shakespeare's day she was still regarded in England as a witch in league with the fiends of hell, but a juster estimate had begun to prevail even in the pages of Speed's "History of Great Britaine" By the beginning of the nineteenth century the sympathy for her even in England was general.

Such writers as Southey, Hallam, Sharon Turner, Carlyle, Landor, and, above all, De Quincey greeted the Maid with a tribute of respect which was not surpassed even in her own native land. Among her Catholic fellow-countrymen she had been regarded, even in her lifetime, as Divinely inspired.

The breakfast is of poor quality. I do not advise to visit this hotel to anyone. The truth leaves very bad image of the city.

The only good thing about this hotel are the rooms.

The Hotel Diamond is in the most fantastic location, and has the potential to be a very successful business venture for its owners. However, they are going to have to learn a thing or two about running a hotel for this to happen. You will not find a warm welcome here. The wife does not speak any English - fair enough, but if she is the only person present to check you in, it is a problem. The husband's English is fair but he is so cold and unaccommodating, that you feel they are doing you a favour by letting you stay.

My room was on the third floor and the most pleasant chap in the place helped me carry my bags up the stairs no lift to my room. He was very nice, and his was the only smile I saw at the Diamond. The room was adequate with all necessary facilities - only downside were the very small and coloured towels - not a major, but there is a reason why most hotels use white towels.

Wireless internet is free, although worked the first day, but not the second. I was too wary of the unfriendly propietor to ask whether it was a hotel problem, or more general. On querying check out time, I was told However, the next day, when I walked into the hotel at I reminded him that he'd said I could check out at 1pm, to which he grunted.

When I asked for a map of Bonn, the owner said he could print me a Google Map. Thanks mate, I can look up google myself. Map of the location seems a basic requirement for a hotel to me. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel. Given that it is run by the same 2 rude owners, I avoided it for breakfast and dinner, so can't comment on what it is like.
