Behold wherefore God had chosen her.

Through her the Dauphin Charles was to be anointed at Reims.

The white dove, which of old was sent to the blessed Remi, was to come down again at the Virgin's call.

God, who loves the French, marks their king with a sign, and when there is no sign the royal power has departed.

The anointing alone makes the king, and Messire Charles de Valois had not been anointed.
