Footnote 469
The "Journal of the Siege of Orleans": "...and especially the Maiden, who spoke to him about the Connétable, pointing out the goodwill that he had proven to have towards [Charles], and the noble lords and valiant soldiers, of which he was bringing a good 1500 troops; asking him to forgive [Richemont] his offense. Which the King did at her request, although because of his esteem for Lord de la Trémoille, who enjoyed the greatest authority with him, he wouldn't tolerate having him with him on the coronation journey..." (See: Quicherat's "Procès...", Vol IV, p. 178).
Perceval de Cagny: "The Duke of Alençon didn't dare bring the Connétable before the King, due to the disgrace he was in, as they said." (See: Quicherat's "Procès...", Vol IV, p. 16).
Guillaume Gruel gave the additional detail that Lords Rostrenen and Beaumanoir tried to change Trémoille's mind, but to no avail. (See: "Chronique d'Arthur de Richemont", p. 74); Quicherat's "Procès...", Vol IV, p. 320).
