There appears to have been no immediate accounts of Joan’s death outside of Rouen except for English-inspired propaganda: letters in the name of Henry VI and the University of Paris were sent out. They were incorporated by Courcelles into the Latin Record of the proceedings commissioned by Cauchon, which was completed by the end of 1431. A letter of promised financial support from the English royal government was prepared in view of expected litigation of the trial at papal or conciliar levels, which did not happen. Joan surfaced in stray accounts, notably at the Council of Basel, as a stupendous maiden warrior come to grief (Eneo Silvio Piccolomini) or a sorceress (Johannes Nider). It was only twenty years later, after Charles VII recovered Normandy, that efforts to overturn Joan’s conviction began. At the urging of the dean of Noyon, Guillaume Bouillé, Charles ordered an investigation in 1450, resulting in several depositions before fizzling. Another investigation was started in 1452, under Cardinal Estouteville and the Inquisitor of France Jean Bréhal, which similarly came to an end after some testimonies were collected, but Bréhal’s work would continue. The witnesses were expertly examined by the civil lawyer Guillaume Prévosteau.
