Messire Richard Kyrthrizian and Brother Gille Lecourt, both of them priests, were then custodians of the chapel.

Such is the title they assumed when they signed the accounts of miracles worked by their saint.
Jeanne in a letter caused them to be asked for the sword, which had been revealed to her.

In the letter she said that it would be found underground, not very deep down, and behind the altar.

At least these were all the directions she was able to give afterwards, and then she could not quite remember whether it was behind the altar or in front.
Was she able to give the custodians of the chapel any signs by which to recognise the sword?
She never explained this point, and her letter is lost.[823] [Footnote 820: _Trial_, vol.i, pp.
