“Our Queens and most dread Ladies… God knows you were missed”:
[The full letter reads: “Nos souveraines et très redoutées dames, plaise vous scavoir que yer le Roy arriva en cest ville de Rains ouquel il a trouvé toute et plein obéissance. Aujourd’huy il a esté sacré et couronné et a esté moult belle chose à voir le beau mystère, car il a esté auxi solempnel et accoustré de toutes les be songnes y appartenans auxi bien et si convenablement pour faire la chose tant en abis royaux et autres choses à ce nécessaires comme s’il eust mandé un an auparavant, et y a eu autant de gens que c’est chose infinie a escrire et auxi la grande joye que chacun en avoit….
“Messeigneurs le duc d’Alençon, le comte de Clermont, le conte de Vendosme, les seigneurs de Laval et la Trimoille y ont esté en abis royaux; et monseigneur d’Alençon a fait le Roy chevalier et les dessusditz représentoient les pairs de France; monseigneur d’Albret a tenu l’espée durant ledit mystère devant le Roy et pour les pairs d’Église y estoient avec leurs croces et mitres, messeigneurs de Rains, de Chalons qui sont pairs; et en lieu des autres, les evesques de Seez et d’Orléans et deux autres prélas, et mondit seigneur de Rains y a fait ledit mystère et sacre qui luy appartient.
“
Pour aller querir la sainte ampolle en l’abaye de Saint-Remy et pour la apporter en l’église de Nostre-Dame où a esté fait le sacre, fut ordonnez le mareschal de Bossac, les seigneurs de Rays, Graville et l’admiral avec leurs quatre bannières que chacun portoit en sa main, armez de toutes pièces et à cheval, bien accompagnez pour conduire l’abbé dudit lieu qui apportoit ladite ampolle; et entrènt à cheval en ladite grande église et descendirent à l’entrée du chœur et en ceste stat l’ont rendue après le service en ladite abbaye; le service a duré depuis neuf heures jusqu’à deux heures. Et à l’heure que le Roy fut sacré et auxi quand l’on lui assist la couronne sur la teste, tout homme cria Noël! et trompettes sonnèrent en telle manière qu’il sembloit que les voultes de l’église se deussent fendre.
“Et durant ledit mystère, la Pucelle s’est tousjours tenue joignant du Roy, tenant son estendart en sa main. Et estoit moult belle chose de voir les belles manières que tenoit le Roy et aussi la Pucelle. Et Dieu sache si vous y avez esté souhaitées.
“Aujourdhuy ont esté faitz par le Roy contes le sire de Laval et le sire de Sully et Rays mareschal…. Demain s’en doibt partir le Roy tenant son chemin vers Paris. On dit en ceste ville que le duc de Bourgongne y a esté et s’en est retourné à Laon où il est de present; il a envoyé si tost devers le Roy qu’il arriva en ceste ville. A ceste heure, nous espérons que bon traité y trouvera avant qu’ils partent. La Pucelle ne fait doubte qu’elle ne mette Paris en l’obéissance.
“Audit sacre, le Roy a fait plusieurs chevaliers et auxi lesdits seigneurs pairs en font tant que marveilles. Il y en a plus de trois cents nouveaux.
“Nos souveraines et redoubtées Dames, nous prions le benoist Saint-Esprit qu’il vous donne bonne vie et longue.
