History Joan Of Arc
The Maids Armour” With this army Jeanne was sent. The King had caused armor to be made for her” (2) – The Duc d’Alencon, Trial of nullification.Armor was a very important part of the 15th century soldier. It had gone from the days of the lorica segmentata through chain mail to what was in the time of the Maid to complete sets of armor which covered the entire body. However this type of armor was expensive therefore it remained in the hands of the nobility, and royalty.
The basic soldier could count himself fortunate if he possessed even the most even the most rudimentary helmet and Gambeson.By the time of the Hundred Years War, armor making had developed into a highly skilled profession. The latest improvements were incorporated into armor as well as better steel. While we do not know with exactitude what the Maid’s armor actually looked like the print above is a fairly excellent representation from contemporary sources that are in existence and those which were most common.The description “White harness” means that the armor is without any embellishments. In the miniseries, “Joan of Arc” with Lee Lee Sobieski, the armor she wears is not white harness. She has a lys on her chest and lyse around the besagues (small round ‘shields’ laced to the mail at the shoulder to defend the armpit.) contrary to modern belief armor of the time was about 50 lbs or so.The modern idea that has been passed down from the 19th century that knights had to be lifted up onto their horse by use of a crane is nonsense. The Constable of France, Bertrand du Guesclin, was noted for leaping onto his horse and climbing rope ladders while fully clothed in his armor.
Jeannes armor was made for fighting in. She could be found in the thick of the actions urging the troops on.Her armor saved her on several occasions. While at Orleans, Jeanne wearing her armor was in fact wounded by an arrow, which penetrated her armor. She was taken from the battle, and the English perceiving an advantage in this screamed obscenities. They believed that they had won the encounter. Jeanne stayed behind the lines but returned just before dusk.
This turn of events was a psychological blow to the English and to the French it appeared as a miracle. “When she felt herself wounded, she was afraid, and wept; but she was soon comforted, as she said.
Some of the soldiers seeing her severely wounded wished to “charm ” her; but she would not, saying: “I would rather die than do a thing which I know to be a sin; I know well that I must die one day, but I know not when, nor in what manner, nor on what day; if my wound may be healed without sin, I shall be glad enough to be cured.” Oil of olive and lard were applied to the wound. After the dressing, she confessed herself to me, weeping and lamenting”Fr Jean Pasquerel, Trial of nullification. “During the assault on Jargeau Jeanne made the attack; in which I followed her. As our men were invading the place, the Earl of Suffolk made proclamation that he wished to speak with me, but we did not listen, and the attack continued. Jeanne was on a ladder, her standard in her hand, when her Standard was struck and she herself was hit on the head by a stone which was partly spent, and which struck her calotte. (Head-covering without visor, “chapeline casque leger en fornie de calotte sans masque.”) She was thrown to the ground; but, raising herself, she cried: “Friends! Our Lord has doomed the English!
They are ours! Keep a good heart.”The Duc d’Alencon, Trial of nullification. HarnessThe term “harness” designated the diverse garments of war; to be more precise, one spoke about “of the head” or “of the arm.” Every piece was independent, as attested in the accont books of the armores, from whom pieces were ordered separately: a leg harness, an arm harness, a gaunlet, and so on. Jeanne also wore a military garment of Oriental orgin, made of rectangular metal plates (usually of steel)-the jaseran, which was widely used in fourteenth century. She also wore a brigandine, an armed vest made of a great number of small plates of metal joined by rivets, the heads of which formed a kind og geometric design.
The right armwas protected in a lighter fashion than the left, so that a sword or lance could be wielded more freely. The armor of the left arm, by contrast, was folded back to assist in holding the horse’s reins.We know that the first suit of mail-the blanc harnoys made for her in Tours-had been left be her in the Abbey church of Saint-Denis after the failure of her attack on Paris, and its subsequent history is unknown. We are ignorant of what happen to her second suit of armour. It has been estimated that the purchase of a complete set of military equiment corresponded to two years’ wages for a man-at-arms.
It took 8 weeks for the Jeanne’s armor to be made and 600 years later it still takes 8 weeks. Note on the Casque of Jeanne d’ArcAs a rule, ancient armor cannot be safely attributed to historical personages, and it is doubtful whether the “Casque of Jeanne d’Arc” which the Museum exhibits has more than a legendary pedigree. Nevertheless, we have received a letter from Mr.
Andrew Lang, an authority on the history of Jeanne d’Arc, which bears upon this matter. The letter from St.
Andrews, Scotland, is datedNovember 23d, and reads:“Mr. Bruce-Gardyne has sent me a photograph of a basinet in your Museum, from Orleans, traditionally attributed to Jeanne d’Arc.
(see picture next to this text) At the siege of Jargeau, in June, 1429, her life was saved by her chapeline (a light headpiece without vizor) when a heavy stone knocked her off a scaling ladder. From Jargeau she went to Orleans for two or three days and she might naturally have dedicated the chapeline. (Proce’s: Vol. 96-97.) “The coincidence is curious: we do not on any other occasion hear of her wearing a vizorless headpiece.”In this connection we may add what Baron de Cosson has written of this basinet. ( Le Cabinet d’Artnes de Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigovd. Rouveyre, 1901.)“It is a French basinet dating from the end of the fourteenth or beginning of the fifteenth century. It retains part of the small chain which denotes that this casque has been suspended as an ex voto in a church.A heavy dent in the region of the left cheek may well have come from a warhammer ( bec-de-corbin), and two others on the right cheek appear to have been the result of lance thrusts.According to information obtained by the Due de Dino it seems that this basinet formerly hung above the main altar in the church of Saint Pierre du Martroi, at Orleans, where it passed as having belonged to Jeanne d’Arc.”.
As the case stands we are convinced (1) that the casque is French, (2) that it is of the period of Jeanne d’Arc, and (3) that it bears marks of contemporary service. In the last regard the evidence is satisfactory: for one reason, the injuries clearly antedate the ancient rusting of the headpiece.
