aracteristics noticeable in Jeanne herself. Moreover we know that
Isabelle Romee's daughter had a sweet woman's voice.[1677] That her neck
was broad and firmly set on her shoulders accords with what is known
concerning her robust appearance.[1678] And doubtless the so-called
daughter of the King of Hungary did not imagine the birth-mark behind
her right ear.[1679]

CHAPTER II

THE MAID'S FIRST VISIT TO COMPIEGNE--THE THREE POPES--SAINT
DENYS--TRUCES

After the English army had departed for Normandy, King Charles sent
from Crepy to Senlis the Count of Vendome, the Marechal de Rais and
the Marechal de Boussac with their men-at-arms. The inhabitants gave
them to wit that they inclined to favour the Flowers de Luce.[1680]
Henceforth the submission of Compiegne was sure. The King summoned the
citizens to receive him; on Wednesday the 18th, the keys of the town
were brought to him; on the next day he entered.[1681] The Attorneys[1682]
(for by that name the aldermen of the town were called) presented to
him Messire Guillaume de Flavy, whom they had elected governor of
their town, as being their most experienced and most faithful citizen.
On his being presented they asked the King, according to their
privilege, to confirm and ratify his appointment. But the sire de la
Tremouille took for himself the governorship of Compiegne and
appointed as his lieutenant Messire Guillaume de Flavy, whom,
notwithstanding, the inhabitants regarded as their captain.[1683]
