it was behind the altar.  And when it was found the clergy cleaned it and rubbed off the rust, which came off easily; and it was an armourer of Tours who went to fetch it.  The clergy made a scabbard for it before sending it to the said Jeanne, and they of Tours made another, so that it had two scabbards, one of crimson velvet and one of cloth of gold.  And she herself procured another of strong leather.  She said also that when she was captured she had not that sword.  Said also that she continued to wear the said sword until she left St. Denis after the assault on Paris.  Asked, what benediction she made, or if she made any on this sword, she answered, that she made no benediction, nor knew how to make one, but that she loved the sword because it had come to her from the Church of the blessed Catherine whom she loved much.  Asked, if she had placed it on the altar at the village of Coulenges, Les Vineuses, or elsewhere, placing it there that it might bring good luck, she answered, that she knew nothing of this.  Asked, if she did not pray that the sword might have good fortune:  “It is good to know that I wish all my armour (harnesseum meum; gallice, mon harnois) to be very fortunate.”  Asked, where she had left the sword, answered, that she had deposited a sword and armour at St. Denis, but it was not this sword.  She added that she had it in Lagny:  but that she afterwards wore the sword which had been taken from a Burgundian, which was a good sword for war and gave good strokes (gallice, de bonnes bouffes and de bons torchons).  Said also that to tell where she left it had nothing to do with the trial, and she would answer nothing.

She said also that her brothers had everything that belonged to her, her horses, swords, and everything, and that she believed they were worth in all about 12,000 francs.  She was also asked whether when she was at Orleans she had a standard, and what colour it was; answered, that she had a standard, the field of which was sown with lilies, and on it was a figure of the world with angels on each side.  It was white, and made of a stuff called boucassin, upon which was written the name Jhesus Maria, so that all might see, and it was fringed with silk.  Asked, if the name Jhesus Maria was written above or below or at the side, she answered, “At the side.”  Asked, if she loved her sword or standard best, she answered, that she loved her standard best.  Asked, why she had that picture on the standard, she answered:  “I have sufficiently told you that I did nothing but by the command of God.”  She added that she herself carried her standard when in battle that she might not hurt anyone, and said that she had never killed any man.
