Biography[]
In January 1429, after hearing of Jeanne d'Arc's perseverance in insisting to see Robert de Baudricourt, on instruction from his mother, René suggested to his father-in-law to invite Jeanne to visit. Impressed with what he saw, he reported back to his mother and ordered de Baudricourt to send her to Chinon.[1]
On 22 March, René was mentioned in conversation by his mother and Gabriel Laxart. She explained what René had done to help, and that he was unable to directly assist but would assist in other means.[1]
