Conducted to Jeanne by Maître Jean d'Estivet, the doctors inquired of her the cause of her suffering.
She answered that she had eaten a carp sent her by the Lord Bishop of Beauvais, and that she believed it to be the cause of her sickness.
Did Jeanne suspect the Bishop of designing to poison her? That is what Maître Jean d'Estivet thought, for he flew into a violent rage:
"Whore!" he cried, "it is thine own doing; thou hast eaten herrings and other things which have made thee ill."
"I have not," she answered.
They exchanged insults, and Jeanne's sickness thereupon grew worse.[674]
The doctors examined her and found that she had fever. Wherefore they decided to bleed her.
They informed the Earl of Warwick, who became anxious:
"A bleeding!" he cried; "take heed! She is artful and might kill herself."
Nevertheless Jeanne was bled and recovered.[675]
