By this time her page and secretary - the Sieur Louis de Conte - had been working for the chief recorder of the trial for some time and by this way was present during all of Joan's trial. The trial starts very tediously with the court spending over three hours trying to force Joan into swearing an oath, but they end up letting Joan give the oath in her own manner
