Footnote 284
From the testimony of Jean Pasquerel on May 4, 1456
("...And some soldiers, seeing her wounded in such a way, wanted to
cast a charm on her; but she was unwilling, saying 'I would rather
die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against
God's will'; and she [said that she] well knew that she must die
at some time; however she didn't know when, where, or in what
manner, nor the hour; but if a remedy could be placed on her wound
without sin, she would certainly be willing to be healed. And they
applied olive oil with bacon fat to the wound, and after this
treatment Jehanne confessed to me, weeping and lamenting...).
