Quicherat, _Apercus nouveaux_, p. 87.] Urged to give her parole, she replied: "I have plighted my word to another, and I shall keep my oath."[2013] [Footnote 2013: Perceval de Cagny, p. 176.] One of those who pressed her said that he was of gentle birth. She surrendered to him. He was an archer, by name Lyonnel, in the company of the Bastard of Wandomme. Deeming that his fortune was made, he appeared more joyful than if he had taken a king.[2014] [Footnote 2014: Letter from the Duke of Burgundy in _Trial_, vol. v, p. 166. Perceval de Cagny, p. 175.

Champion, _loc. cit._, pp. 46, 49. Lanery d'Arc, _Livre d'Or_, pp. 513-518.] With the Maid was taken her brother, Pierre d'Arc, Jean d'Aulon, her steward, and Jean d'Aulon's brother, Poton, surnamed the Burgundian.[2015] According to the Burgundians, the French in this engagement lost four hundred fighting men, killed or drowned;[2016] but according to the French most of the foot soldiers were taken up by the boats which were moored near the bank of the Oise.[2017] [Footnote 2015: Richer, _Histoire manuscrite de la Pucelle_, book iv, fol. 188 _et seq._ P. Champion, _loc. cit._ Proofs and illustrations, xxxiii. Monstrelet, vol. iv, p. 388.

Falconbridge, in _Trial_, vol. iv, p. 459.] [Footnote 2016: According to _Le Journal d'un bourgeois de Paris_, p. 255, four hundred French were killed or drowned.] [Footnote 2017: Note concerning G. de Flavy, in _Trial_, vol. v, p. 176. Perceval de Cagny, p. 175.] Had it not been for the archers, cross-bowmen and cannoneers posted at the bridge end by the Sire de Flavy, the bulwark would have been captured. The Burgundians had but twenty wounded and not one slain.[2018] The Maid had not been very vigorously defended. [Footnote 2018: Letter from the Duke of Burgundy to the inhabitants of Saint-Quentin, in _Trial_, vol. v, p. 166.] She was disarmed and taken to Margny.[2019] At the tidings that the witch of the Armagnac
