Hist ry seems to be about To lose anGsher
OF its favorite stories in the case OF Joan OF

est kind goes to show that tie old story of
the burning of the Maid OF Orleans is a
fable. There is proof that Joan lived in the
town of Metz on the Goth OF May, 1886
She was then recognizsl by her brother.
There is a record in the archives OF Metz
declaring her marriage II one Robert dez
Armoises, knight. and mentioning the birth
OF two sons After JoaE was married she
was known as Dame Joan, AMI Whenever
she came To Orleans she was sumptuouSly
entertained with meat ani wine at the ex-
pense Of the town. There il a record which
materially assists this proof AMI shows that
the town Of Orleans paid her 2l0 livres "a a
recompense for services rendered during the
siege.
II was always difficult 10 believe that a
king who owed his crown to a mere girl
could suffer her to be burnt alive without
raising his voice. It was necessary that
the English soldiers, who believed her to be
n sorceress, should think she was burnt, but
Charles VII knew it was a farce, and
could, therefore, afford to remain passive
IL the statement that she was not burned
can not be declared authcritatively, IL at
least NAV be sufficiently sustained 10 clear
