her; when Captain La Hire, in the February of
this same year, 1430, took Chateau Gaillard, near Rouen, he found the
good knight Barbazan in an iron cage, from which he would not come
out, alleging that he was a prisoner on parole.[2135] Jeanne, on the
contrary, had been careful to promise nothing, or rather she had
promised to escape as soon as she could.[2136] Therefore the English,
who believed that she had magical powers, mistrusted her greatly.[2137]
As she was being prosecuted by the Church, she ought to have been
detained in an ecclesiastical prison,[2138] but the _Godons_ were
resolved to keep her in their custody. One among them said she was
dear to them because they had paid dearly for her. On her feet they
put shackles and round her waist a chain padlocked to a beam five or
six feet long. At night this chain was carried over the foot of her
bed and attached to the principal beam.[2139] In like manner, John
Huss, in 1415, when he was delivered up to the Bishop of Constance and
transferred to the fortress of Gottlieben, was chained night and day
until he was taken to the stake.
