Footnote 474
From the chronicle of Perceval de Cagny: "And although the King didn't have the money to pay his troops, all the knights, squires, noble and common soldiers never hesitated in the least to serve the king on this campaign in the Maiden's company, saying that they would go anywhere she wished to go. And she said, 'By my baton, I will lead the noble King Charles and his company safely, and he will be anointed in the place of Rheims.' " (for original language, see Quicherat's "Procès...", Vol IV, p. 18).
