Now it was a vassal of Jean de Luxembourg who captured Joan andCompiegne, and it was Jean who sold her to the Duke of Burgundy. Yetthis very De Luxembourg was shameless enough to go and show his face toJoan in her cage. He came with two English earls, Warwick and Stafford. He was a poor reptile. He told her he would get her set free if shewould promise not to fight the English any more. She had been in thatcage a long time now, but not long enough to break her spirit. Sheretorted scornfully: "N...ame of God, you but mock me. I know that you have neither the powernor the will to do it. " He insisted. Then the pride and dignity of the soldier rose in Joan, andshe lifted her chained hands and let them fall with a clash, saying: "See these! They know more than you, an can prophesy better. I know thatthe English are going to kill me, for they think that when I am deadthey can get the Kingdom of France. It is not so. "Though there were a hundred thousand of them they would never get it. " This defiance infuriated Stafford, and he--now think of it--he a free, strong man, she a chained and helpless girl--he drew his dagger andflung himself at her to stab her.
