On 21 September 1429, after the failed Siege of Paris, Jeanne's husband, along with many others were present in Gien when Georges de la Trémoille announced the dissolution of the army on the order of Charles VII of France, instructing Alençon to return home to his lands and wife. A taunt that her husband did not take kindly to.[2]
