Pierre d'Arc

Who is Pierre d'Arc?

Pierre d'Arc went to seek his sister "in France," fought along with her at Orléans, lived in the same house with her in that city, accompanied her to Reims, and was ennobled with the rest of the family. He was captured with Jeanne at Compiègne, but was eventually released. Pierre retired to the city of Orléans where he received many gifts from the King, the city of Orléans, and a pension from Duke Charles, among them the Ile aux Boeufs in 1443. The descendants of, Pierre, had in their possession three of Jeanne's letters and a sword that she had worn. The letters were saved but the sword was lost during the chaos of the revolutionary period.
