On the 13th of May, the Maid entered Compiegne, where she lodged in
the Rue de l'Etoile.[1988] On the morrow, the Attorneys[1989] offered
her four pots of wine.[1990] They thereby intended to do her great
honour, for they did no more for the Lord Archbishop of Reims,
Chancellor of the realm, who was then in the town with the Count of
Vendome, the King's lieutenant and divers other leaders of war. These
noble lords resolved to send artillery and other munitions to the
Castle of Choisy, which could not hold out much longer;[1991] and now,
as before, the Maid was made use of.
