Four days after her sentence to life imprisonment, Joan was formally “constituted” before Cauchon and Lemaistre in her prison cell, but without being put under oath, and questioned about resuming male clothes, and about her renewed reliance upon her saints. She responded that she had never done anything against God or the faith, no matter what she had been ordered to abjure. It was on the basis of this short hearing that Joan was to be convicted of relapse. On the next day, May 29, the judges reported this session to forty-some assessors, who recommended that Joan be confronted with her offenses before being declared relapsed. The judges ignored this recommendation, and would sentence her without a trial. The next day, May 30, on the scaffold, Cauchon read the sentence: Joan had fallen into many errors and crimes of schism, idolatry, invocations of demons, and others, but had renounced them and all heresy; however, they had clearly proved that her renunciation was false, and she had relapsed into the same crimes, and they therefore declared her to be relapsed and heretical (without naming any heresy), to be delivered to secular authority. (Her burning at the stake was not recorded.)
