The Abbey of Saint-Ouen is a large church consecrated for Saint Ouen in Rouen, France.[1]

History[edit | edit source]

On 24 May 1431, the abbey's cemetery was set up for the public sentencing of Jeanne d'Arc, presided by priest Guillaume Erard. Erard prefaced Jeanne's sentencing with a sermon where he railed against both Jeanne and Charles VII of France calling them heretics, among other insults. Erard had a fellow clergy member hand Jeanne a letter of abjuration—a statement forcing her to swear never to cut her hair short, don men’s clothing, or take up arms again—in return for her surrendering into the church's custody.[2]

When Jeanne asked that the clerks read the document out loud for her, Erard yelled at her, threatening her with immediate execution by fire, though the young clergyman that had handed her the letter ignored the priest and read it for Jeanne. Although Jeanne could write her name, she instead signed with a cross within a circle, signaling that she meant nothing by it and leaving herself a way out of it.[2]
