Notes: | Trial for heresy and sorcery, February-March, 1431, at Rouen. "The official text of the trial was drawn up some time after Jeanne's death, not earlier, it is certain, than 1435, by Thomas de Courcelles, who, with the aid of Guillaume Manchon, translated into Latin the original French examinations, and completed the proceedings by the insertion of the necessary letters."--p. 17. "The court before which Jeanne was brought to trial at Rouen ... was a composite tribunal. The bishop of Beauvais [Pierre Cauchon] claimed and exercised jurisdiction as ordinary. But the deputy inquisitor was joined with him as co-ordinate judge with officers of his own."--Murray, T.D., Jeanne d'Arc, p. xxi. "The trial for relapse [May 28-30, 1431]": p. 318-332.
