Excerpt from Memoirs of Jeanne D'arc, Surnamed La Pucelle D'orleans, Vol. 2 of 2: With the History of Her Times La Pucelle was not allowed to attend; and great indecision and difference of Opinion were evinced as to the course of con duct that should be pursued. In this state of incertitude the king left the council-chamber without coming to any determination, and retired to his cabinet, where be summoned his confessor, Chris tophe de Harcourt, the bishop of Castres, and the lord de Treves, formerly chancellor of France, who, on account of his advanced age, had retired from that eminent post. Thus circumstanced, they were undetermined whether to admit La Pucelle or not; but Jeanne, impatient of delay, knocked at the door, demanding admission, and when in presence of the king, bespoke him as above, &c. - Lenglet, vol. I. P. 78. Luchet, at page 19, says, What had the king to apprehend when La Pucelle was at the head of his armies? His majesty, as void of confidence as he was ungrateful, left the council in a state of uncertainty, and shut himself up with his confessor, the bishop of Castres, and the lord de Treves, a mere simpleton, who had been displaced from the post of chancellor on account of his incapacity to undertake any affair of moment.
