Excerpt from Lessons From Women's LivesShe contrived to avoid this by paying a visit to an uncle, in Whose company she made her appearance before the governor of Vaucouleurs, in May 1428. De Baudricourt at first refused to see her, and, upon granting an interview, treated her pretensions with contempt. She then returned to her uncle's abode, where she continued to announce her project, and to insist that the prophecy, that France, lost by a woman (isabel of Bavaria), should be saved by a virgin from the frontiers of Lorraine, alluded to her. She it was, she asserted, who could save France, and not either kings, or dukes, nor yet the King of Scot land's daughter, - an expression which proves how well informed she was as to the political events and rumours of the day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
