Footnote 318
Colette Milet gave a different version of this statement, although
Louis was presumably the only eyewitness to the scene and his testimony
is therefore more likely to be accurate.
Colette's version was as follows: "...on the Vigil of the
Lord's Ascension, she woke up suddenly, called her page, named Mugot [one
of Louis' nicknames], and said to him, 'In God's name, this is ill
done. Why was I not awakened
sooner? Our people have much to do." For the quoted portions of this testimony as it appears in the original, see
DuParc's "Procès en Nullité...",
Vol I, p. 407; and Quicherat's "Procès...",
Vol III, p. 124.
For a modern French translation, see
Oursel's "Les Procès de Jeanne d'Arc",
p. 303).
