Joan of Arc's prophecies
JEAN BARRY M.D.
38 Cours du Medoc, 33300 Bordeaux, France
Joan of Arc is not a myth. Her feats of arms are well attested by the Chronicles
on both sides, and also by the instruments of the Inquisition trial led by
Cauchon and Bedford. The Proceedings of the "Rehabilitation Trial"
initiated by Charles VII, in order to prove that her victories were not those of a
witch, brings fourth men, women, priests, warriors, bearing impressive
testimony. Thus it is very interesting to follow our heroine, not only in her
childhood, but also in her warrior life. .
As a parapsychologist, I am particularly interested by the strength of her
moral nature, her cleverness, her'military talent, and, last but not least, her
gifts of premonition and clearsightedness. I intended to write a book on Joan
and parapsychology, helped by a friend of mine in respect of the historical
part.
Here, I give a short glimpse on the subject:
Joan's clear-sightedness is connected both with near future and with
furtherest future. Cases of the first type are certain, testified by history. Cases
of the second, are arguable, often being transmitted by family tradition.
Let us mention first some of the first category:
In Vaucouleurs, talking with Robert de Baudricourt, Commander of the
place, she foretells the French defeat at Rouvray, (later on named the`"Day-
time of herrings") just before the battle was lost, at some 400 kilometres from
there.
Going to Chinon, she foretells the place where Charles Martel's sword was
found, very rusted, in the ground, behind the Sainte Marie de Fierbois altar-
table.
Fifteen days before her attack on the fort of the "Tourelles" and a second
time the day before, she foretold she would be wounded. She said: "To-
morrow blood will be drawn from my body, above my breast". An arrow
pierced, through her armour, the lower part of her neck.
From the high wall of the fortress, the Commander, Sir Glasdale, insulted
her, calling her "milkmaid, harlot". She answered him: "You insult me, but
you are not far from your death". Not long after he fell down from the burning
drawbridge, all armoured, into the Loire, and was drowned.
Many other cases are worth telling, all of them historically true. A few more
have not been written in history and are transmitted by family tradition.

RESEARCH NOTES AND COMMENTS
PIA-RDP96-00792R09 79~11,Q~~JX 1) COMMENTS
Believe them or not, you shall not be damned for that. They are long range
prophecies.
One of them concerns Etienne de Vignolle, nicknamed "La Hire" by the
Burgundians. This terrible "cadet of Gascony" was a great captain. For those
who don't know of him, he is still the Knave of Hearts of our playing-cards. As
a pillager himself, he said: "If God was a soldier, he would be a pillager". An
incendiary of course, he struck his enemies like pigs. This terrific man had the
gift of friendship. As soon as he saw Joan of Arc he said: "I believe in her, I
shall follow here everywhere".
Such was Joan's ascendency, that he ceased to swear like a trooper, stopped
his plunders, went to church, and confessed his sins. Joan had predicted to him
that if he fell back into temptation of sacking a town, then the last of the La
Hires would die ruined and miserable. After Joan's death, he again became a
pillager.
A woman of my acquaintance, Mrs Michelle Nahon, told me that her
grand-father, Jean de La Hire, who asserted he was the last descendant' of
Etienne de Vignolle, died in that way, some fifty years ago, as an impecunious
science fiction writer.
Still more striking is an old tradition in the La Tremoille family. Georges de
La Tremoille, the traitor counsellor of Charles VII, who became jealous of
Joan's glory, had already laid an ambush for her and her seven companions, on
their way from Vaucouleurs to Chinon. Later on, he made it impossible for
Joan and the Duke of Alencon to take Paris, by withdrawing Gillese Ray's and
Richemont's troops.
This was more than five hundred years ago.
In 1933, the old Duchess of La Tremoille called for her family physician,
the late Dr Datin (as I was told by his daughter, Dr Grassin's wife, a
surgeon in Rennes). "I am tired and sad", said the Duchess. "My son, the
young Duke, died yesterday morning, burnt alive in the hunting-box of a
Scotch Castle. As you can see, Joan of Arc's prediction, as it was known in our
family, came true."
And there is a striking confirmation. The young Duke, of course, knew the
prediction, but did not quite believe in it. This was told me by a friend of mine,
the physicist, Olivier Costa de Beauregard; his wife's mother was a friend of
the late Duke. One day, some time before his death, showing the Countess his
Castle of Serrant, in Anjou, he stopped before his family-tree, on which he
stood alone at the end, and said half sweet half sour: "Look, I am the last, and,
according to an old family tradition, Joan of Arc said, while she was
The most well-known of La Hire's descendants is the XVl1th century mathematician. Philippe
de La Hire (1640-1718).
imprisoned in Rouen, that the last of the La Tremoille's would die burned
alive."
These testimonies are true. What is their explanation? Coincidence? Joan's
soul crying for vengeance through time and space? Of course not. What they
show is, once more, Joan's extraordinary gift for clearsightedness and pre-
cognition. What is very striking in these two cases, is their consonance with the
Biblical statement "The grandfathers have eaten sour grapes, so the grandsons
have aching teeth".
A friend of mine, Mr. P. Giry, M.D., has prepared a detailed documenta-
tion concerning the very numerous psychic feats that have been recorded of
Joan of Arc.
