There were still more recent examples in his family of dealings between kings and saints.

His father, the poor King Charles VI, when he was passing through Tours, had caused Louis, Duke of Orleans, to present to him Dame Marie de Maille.

She had taken a vow of virginity and had transformed the spouse, who approached her like a devouring lion, into a timorous lamb.

She revealed secrets to the King, and he was pleased with her, for three years later he wanted to see her again at Paris.
This time they talked long together in private, and she revealed more secrets to the King, so that he sent her away with gifts.[638] This same Prince had granted an audience to a poor knight of Caux, one Robert le Mennot, to whom, when he was in danger of shipwreck near the coast of Syria, had been vouchsafed a vision.

He proclaimed that God had sent him to restore peace.[639] Still more favourably had the King received a woman, Marie Robine, who was commonly called la Gasque of Avignon.[640] In 1429, there were those at court who remembered the prophetess sent to Charles VI to confirm him in his subjection to Pope Benedict XIII.
