The letters of Juan de Giles, the resident judge of Cadiz, appended to this memoir, enable us to fix the date of his execution, for although not dated themselves, they contain a reference to the date of the cedule, ordering the execution, by which it can be determined.
Here arises a great question, already referred to, as to what it was that Jeanne signed. She could not write, she could only put her cross on the document hurriedly read to her, amid the confusion and the murmurs of the crowd. The cedule to which she put her sign "contained eight lines:" what she is reported to have signed is three pages long, and full of detail.
Here is a cedule signed by them with their names or marks, and this he gave me as a proof of good faith." Here he handed a long slip of parchment, all covered with writing, to Randal, and it went round among us, but few there were clerks, save myself. I looked on it, and the names, many of them attested by seals with coat armour, were plain to be read.
Giles mentions that this cedule was dated at Lerma, on the 13th of last month, showing that it was made there on the 13th of some month.
