- ↑ a b Modern biographical summaries aften assert a birthdate o Januar 6t for Joan. In fact, housomever, she coud ae estimate her ain age. All of the rehabilitation-trial witnesses likewise estimate her age even tho' several o thir fowk wur her godmithers an godfathers. The 6 January claim is based on a single source: a letter from Lord Perceval de Boullainvilliers on 21 July 1429 (see Pernoud's Joan of Arc By Herself and Her Witnesses, p. 98: "Boulainvilliers tells of her birth in Domrémy, an it is he who gives us an exact date, which may be the true one, saying that she was born on the nicht of Epiphany, 6 January"). Boulainvilliers, however, wis not from Domrémy. The event was probably not recorded. The practice of parish registers for non-noble births did not begin until several generations later.
