1426.
102 17 WHO IS THIS THAT COMETH FROM DOMREMY? This is an evident
imitation of the famous passage from Isaiah Ixiii. I: "Who is this that
cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?" "Bloody coronation
robes" is rather obscure, but probably refers to the fact that Joan had
shed her own blood to bring about the coronation of her sovereign; she
is supposed to have appeared in armor at the actual coronation
ceremony, and this armor might with reason be imagined as "bloody."
102 22 SHE ... SHALL TAKE MY LORD'S BRIEF: that is, she shall act as
the bishop's counsel. In the case of Beauvais, as in that of
Winchester, it must be remembered that in all monarchical countries the
bishops are "lords spiritual," on an equality with the greater secular
nobles, the "lords temporal."
