Biography[edit | edit source]
On 17 August 1424, after the Battle of Verneuil, Jean was captured by the English and imprisoned at Le Crotoy. Upon his release in 1429, he traveled to Chinon to the home of the Dauphin Charles. On 7 March, Jean was introduced to Jeanne d'Arc, who in turn introduced to her cousin Gabriel Laxart. Impressed with her devotion he offered to purchase her a battle-hardened steed and sword. Jeanne, however, denied the offer for a sword saying she had already found one. Jean could also see Jeanne's radiance, owing to his latent ability.[1] From 9 March, Jean kept Jeanne company in Poitiers while she waited for Gabriel and Jean de Metz to return with the sword he had gone to retrieve for her from beneath Sainte-Catherine-de-Fierbois. During said time, they both grey fond of each other, though Jeanne missed the presence of Gabriel, her "Witness". On 12 March, d'Alençon and Jeanne met with Gabriel and who'd reached Poitiers with her sword.[2]
On 22 March, d'Alençon, Gabriel, and de Metz witnessed Jeanne dictated a letter directed at Henry VI of England, the Duke of Bedford John of Lancaster, the Count of Suffolk William de la Pole, John, Lord Talbot, and Thomas, Lord Scales, demanding their immediate surrender to "the Maid who is sent here from God". Applauding her, d'Alençon invoked the angels in a mock surrender, though Jeanne quickly chastised him for swearing. d'Alençon and de Metz then announced their retirement for the night, leaving Gabriel alone with Jeanne. It was then then Yolande of Aragon made her presence known to the two as the Assassin Mentor, Jeanne greeted her with what praise d'Alençon had for her.[3]
