The Life of Joan of Arc, Vol. 1 and 2

by Anatole France

[1002] On the 4th of May, as on the 29th of April, the corn was brought down the Loire. Indeed there exists a bill which makes mention of "sailors who brought the corn which came from Blois on the 4th day of May," "nottoniers qui amenèrent les blés qui furent amenés de Blois le iiij^e jour de may" (Boucher de Molandon, Première expédition de Jeanne d'Arc, pp. 58, 59).

[1003] The 4th of May, Trial, vol. iii, pp. 105, 211. Journal du siège, p. 81. Chronique de la Pucelle, p. 287.

[1004] Trial, vol. iii, p. 212 (Jean d'Aulon's evidence).

[1005] Ibid., p. 212.

[1006] Ibid., p. 212. Journal du siège, p. 78.

[1007] I have followed the account of Jean Chartier, vol. i, p. 73 (amplified in La chronique de la Pucelle, p. 288), which is more plausible than that of Le journal du siège.

[1008] Trial, vol. iii, pp. 212, 213 (Jean d'Aulon's evidence).

[1009] Ibid., vol. iii, p. 106.
