He likewise insisted that such was the understanding that his officers had of the treaty made and so understood by the French officers. She insisted that no one could inake a treaty that was not right before God. But she believed in keeping faith even with the enemy. Her conclusion was instantly reached: if the King had allowed such a treaty of surrender, he must pay the ransom. She hastened back to the King. He told her that the English being un- armed could not take away the prisoners if she ...would not allow it. She insisted that no such vio- lence against a covenant between men was possi- ble and it was equally impossible to allow the pris- oners to be carried away into captivity. He must pay the ransom and set the men free. And it was done. She soon returned to the city with the pris- oners glorifying her as their savior. Probably for the first time in the history of Kings there was as- serted a divine right greater than kings, even as later on she was to pay with her life the penalty for holding the faith that the divine right of relig- ious conscience is superior to all the tribunals or decrees of kings, ecclesiastical potentates, or or- ganized masters of church and state.
