31. John Brullot, another canon. Besides these were seventeen others,
named Caval, Columbel, Cormeilles, Crotoy, Duchemin, Dubesert, Garin,
Gastinel, Ledoux, Leroy, Maguerie, Manzier, Morel, Morellet, Pinchon,
Saulx, and Pasquier de Vaux, who became Bishop of Meaux, Evreux, and
Lisieux. In all, nine-and-twenty canons of Rouen.
After these came a list of mitred abbots, priors, and heads of
religious houses: Peter de Crique, Prior of Sigy; William Lebourg,
Prior of the College of Saint Lo of Rouen; Peter Migiet, Prior of
Longueville.
After these priors came eleven abbots: Durement, Abbot of Fecamp,
later Bishop of Coutances; Benel, Abbot of Courcelles; De Conti, Abbot
of Sainte Catherine; Dacier, Abbot of Saint Corneille of Compiegne;
Frique, Abbot of Bee; Jolivet, Abbot of Saint Michael's Mount in
Normandy; Labbe, Abbot of Saint George de Bocherville; Leroux, Abbot
of Jumieges; Du Masle, Abbot of Saint Ouen; Moret, Abbot of Preaux;
and Theroude, Abbot of Mortemer.
Besides these there were many doctors and assessors from the
University of Paris; among the latter lot appears the name of an
English priest, William Haiton, a secretary of Henry VI. He and
William Alnwick, Bishop of Norwich, Privy Seal to the English King,
are the only two names belonging to the English clergy who took part
in the trial. The Cardinal of Winchester never once appeared during
the proceedings, although he was, together with Cauchon, the prime
mover in the business. To complete the list of the other French
clergy--French only by birth and nationality indeed--must be added the
names of Chatillon, Archdeacon of Evreux; Erard, Canon of Langres,
Laon, and Beauvais; Martin Ladvenu, a Dominican priest, one of the few
who showed some humanity to the prisoner. It was Ladvenu who heard her
confession on the day of her execution, and who after her death
testified to her saintliness. Isambard de la Pierre, also a Dominican.
Although he voted for her death, de la Pierre showed signs of pity and
compassion for his victim, and assisted her at her last moments.
Testimony to her pure character was given by him in the time of her
rehabilitation. Besides these were Emenyart, Fiexvet, Guerdon, Le
Fevre, Delachambre, and Tiphanie, all of whom, with the exception of
the last two, who were doctors of medicine, were members of the
University. As we have already stated, out of this vast crowd of
ecclesiastics and a few laymen, only two Englishmen too
