THE TAKING OF JARGEAU—THE BRIDGE OF MEUNG—BEAUGENCY
ON Monday, the 6th of June, the King lodged1 at Saint-Aignan near Selles-en-Berry.[1179] Among the gentlemen of his company were two sons of that Dame2 de Laval who, in her widowhood, had made the mistake of loving a landless cadet. André, the younger, at the age of twenty, had just passed under the cloud of a disgrace common to nearly all nobles in those days; his grandmother's second husband, Sire Bertrand Du Guesclin, had experienced it several times. Taken prisoner in the chateau4 of Laval by Sir John Talbot, he had incurred5 a heavy debt in order to furnish the sixteen thousand golden crowns of his ransom6.[1180]
Being in great need of money, the two young nobles offered their services to the King, who received them very well, gave them not a crown, but said he would show them the Maid. And as he was going with them from Saint-Aignan to Selles, he summoned the Saint,[1181] who straightway, armed at all points save her[Pg i.346] head, and lance in hand, rode out to meet the King. She greeted the two young nobles heartily7 and returned with them to Selles. The eldest8, Lord Guy, she received in the house where she was lodging9, opposite the church, and called for wine. Such was the custom among princes. Cups of wine were brought, into which the guests dipped slices of bread called sops10.[1182] When offering him the wine cup, the Maid said to Lord Guy: "I will shortly give you to drink at Paris."
She told him that, three days before, she had sent a gold ring to Dame Jeanne de Laval.
"It was a small matter," she added graciously. "I should like to have sent her something of greater value, considering her reputation."[1183]
