After Estivet presented his libellus on March 27–28, thus opening the formal trial against her, the court did not meet again publicly for over a month. But Cauchon and his fellow-judge Lemaistre after several weeks, on April 18, decided to visit Joan in her prison cell, allegedly out of concern for her spiritual welfare. They were accompanied by three of the Paris Six and four other theologians. They found her deathly ill, asking for the last rites. On May 2 Cauchon summarized the case in the courtroom before a large number of assessors: After Joan was fully interrogated, she responded judicially to articles, and “we” summarized her confessions, and sent them to experts. This amounted to an announcement on Cauchon’s part that Estivet’s libellus would be ignored. Joan was then brought in, and, under the guise of exhorting her to repent, Archdeacon Chastillon led another interrogation session, in which Joan held steadfast. On May 9, the judges had Joan brought to a torture chamber with some assessors and threatened her with torture if she did not tell the truth about certain passages of her responses. A few days later, the assessors voted down the idea of torturing her.
