2. The Hundred Years’ War
fn1There were, of course, other clauses, but for purposes of simplification I have picked out the three most important.
fn2Scandal said that his true father was Louis Duke of Orleans, brother of Charles VI. See genealogical table on p. 22.
3. Domremy (1)
fn1 As this reference to the duchy of Bar may puzzle those who have been accustomed to regard Jeanne d’Arc as a native of Lorraine, I had better explain the reason. It is simply t
hat the duchy of Bar formed part of the duchy of Lorraine, although under a separate ruler. Such portion of Domremy as did not come immediately under the French crown, came under the Duke of Bar, and thus only indirectly under the Duke of Lorraine. Thus it is more accurate to speak of Jeanne’s village as lying in the Barrois than as lying in Lorraine, though, less strictly, it is possible to include it under the geographical name Lorraine. In the popular version, the whole has proved greater than the part.
Jules Quiclierat, the most authoritative of all Jeanne’s historians, puts the geographical position clearly (Aperçus nouveaux sur Jeanne d’Arc, p. 2): ‘Domremy lies on the left bank of the Meuse, at the foot of a slope whose summit then belonged to the duchy of Bar; the heights above the opposite bank marked the boundaries of Lorraine; thus, only the valley with the river flowing through it was French territory.’
fn2 Siméon Luce, Jeanne d’Arc à Domremy, p. cxcvi, footnote.
fn3 Procès, Vol. I, p. 65. This refers to Gérardin d’Epinal. Compère means that Jeanne and Gérardin were co-godparents to the same child.
