Footnote 616
Similar incidents were described by the Duke of Alençon and Louis de Coutes; but since these all vary in significant details, they may be describing two different events.
Jean Chartier gives the following description of the incident on the 29th: "And there were in the aforesaid army many fallen women who hindered some of the men-at-arms from promptly following the King; and when Jehanne saw this, after the shout went up that everyone should march forward, she drew her sword and hit two or three with it so that she broke her aforesaid sword." (For the original language, see: Quicherat's "Procès...", Vol IV, p. 71).
