of Joan of Arc. Attacked soon
after by leprosy, he sufficiently recovered to see Charles VII. enter
Paris; and he had the audacity to send the King an address of
felicitation in the name of the faculties of the University by whose
instrumentality Joan of Arc had been executed.

19. Peter Morice, a doctor of the University and a canon of Rouen. He
was one of the most eager to bring Joan to the stake.

20. James de Touraine, also a doctor of the University, was violently
hostile to Joan of Arc.

The above six doctors, with Cauchon, were those who had most to do
with the proceedings of the trial, and those whose duty it was
principally to question the prisoner.

21. Nicolas Loiseleur, M.A., a canon of Rouen; he was the most abject
of all the gang of priests and doctors who formed part of this
infamous tribunal. It was Loiseleur who, in the disguise of a layman,
attempted to worm secrets from Joan, pretending to be her friend and
sympathiser. When he found he gained nothing by the subterfuge, he
resumed his clerical garb, and succeeded in getting, under the
promise of secrecy from his order, a confession from the prisoner. He
also introduced spies into the prison who took notes of Joan's words.
When the idea was mooted of putting Joan of Arc to the torture,
Loiseleur was one of the most urgent for it to be applied. However, on
the day of the execution this man, who, strange as it may seem,
appears to have had some kind of conscience, or at least to have been
able to feel remorse for the base part he had played in the trial of
the Maid, implored Joan of Arc's forgiveness. He, however, after the
execution, helped Cauchon to spread calumnies regarding their victim.
This infamous scoundrel died suddenly at Basle.

22. Raoul Roussel de Vernon, D.C.L., and the canon treasurer of the
Cathedral of Rouen. He acted throughout the trial as reporter. In 1443
Roussel became Archbishop of Rouen.

23. Robert Barbier, also a D.C.L., and canon of Rouen Cathedral.

24. Nicolas Coppequesne, also a canon of Rouen Cathedral.

25. Nicolas de Venderes, a canon of Rouen, and Cauchon's chaplain.

26. John Alessee, also a canon of Rouen. This Alessee was greatly
moved at the heroine's death, and exclaimed, 'I pray to God my soul
may one day be where hers is now.'

27. Raoul Auguy, another canon.

28. William de Baubribosc, also a canon of Rouen.

29. John Brullot, another canon and precentor of Rouen.

30. John Basset, another canon
