THE MAID AT BEAUREVOIR—CATHERINE DE LA ROCHELLE AT PARIS—EXECUTION OF LA PIERRONNE
THE Maid had been taken captive in the diocese of Beauvais.[458] At that time the Bishop2 Count of Beauvais was Pierre Cauchon of Reims, a great and pompous3 clerk of the University of Paris, which had elected him rector in 1403. Messire Pierre Cauchon was not a moderate man; with great ardour he had thrown himself into the Cabochien riots.[459] In 1414, the Duke of Burgundy had sent him on an embassy to the Council of Constance to defend the doctrines5 of Jean Petit;[460] then he[Pg ii.171] had appointed him Master of Requests in 1418, and finally raised him to the episcopal see of Beauvais.[461] Standing6 equally high in the favour of the English, Messire Pierre was Councillor of King Henry VI, Almoner of France and Chancellor7 to the Queen of England. Since 1423, his usual residence had been at Rouen. By their submission8 to King Charles the people of Beauvais had deprived him of his episcopal revenue.[462] And, as the English said and believed that the army of the King of France was at that time commanded by Friar Richard and the Maid, Messire Pierre Cauchon, the impoverished9 Bishop of Beauvais, had a personal grievance10 against Jeanne. It would have been better for his own reputation that he should have abstained11 from avenging12 the Church's honour on a damsel who was possibly an idolatress, a soothsayer and the invoker
