“Great and formidable Prince, Duke of Burgundy, Joan the Maiden requests of you, in the name of the King of Heaven, my right and sovereign Lord, that the King of France and yourself should make a good firm lasting peace. Fully pardon each other willingly, as faithful Christians should do; and if it should please you to make war, then go against the Saracens.” St. Joan of Arc, Letter to the Duke of Burgandy, July 17, 1429 (Translated by Allen Williamson)
