Biography[edit | edit source]
On 21 April 1429, Ambleville was sent to become a herald of Jeanne d'Arc, alongside Guyenne. Introduced to the Maid by Jean d'Alençon, the duke noted that the boys would be useful to the cause as heralds were diplomatically immune.[1]
On 30 April, after the other herald boy had not reported back. Ambleville accompanied Jeanne to the Renart Gate to demand his return.[2] However by Ascension Day, 5 May, Ambleville too had been captured and detained.[3] He and Guyenne had been detained within Les Tourelles, one of the largest towers on the southern bank of the Loire.[4]
On 7 May, during the Siege of Orléans, led by Jeanne herself, Ambleville and Guyenne were freed from Les Tourelles alongside many other French prisoners. Later, the two heralds joined Jeanne in a feast at the residence of Jacques Boucher, treasurer of Orléans.[4]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The boy with the surname Ambleville, was a historical figure and character appearing in the 2016 novel Assassin's Creed: Heresy, written by Christie Golden.
Ambleville most likely belonged to Julien des Essars, lord of Ambleville in Vexin. His birth name is lost to history, as on becoming a herald he renounced his surname and became "Ambleville" after the lord he served.[5]
