The Life of Joan of Arc, Vol. 1 and 2 (of 2)

CHAPTER XI
9/33

_Reclamer_ in the French.

M.S.Reinach proposes to substitute _relever_, which is plausible (cf.

_Trial_, vol.ii, p.

421).] [Footnote 886: _Le journal du siege_ omits the word _France_ and thus renders the phrase unintelligible.

This omission proceeds from a text of great antiquity on which are based notably _La chronique de la Pucelle_ and the account of the Greffier de La Rochelle whom this mangled phrase visibly embarrassed.] [Footnote 887: _Gentle_ is here in opposition to _villein_.
