Departures of note

Jeanne de Divion, a French noblewoman and forger, was burned at the stake in Paris on 6 October 1331 for creating a false will that was used in a bid to reclaim the County of Artois. The forgery, which she produced for Countess Mahaut's nephew Robert, was discovered, and Robert lost any hope of acquiring Artois. Jeanne's execution took place at the Place aux Pourceaux.

Born around 1293 to the impoverished noble Havet de Divion and Sara Louchard, Jeanne married the knight Pierre de Broyes. She was known for her knowledge of astrology and caused a scandal by living openly with her lover, Thierry Larchier d'Hirson. When d'Hirson, then the bishop of Arras, died, he left Jeanne 3000 livres. The executor of his will, Countess Mahaut of Artois, paid the inheritance but later challenged it as being based on an adulterous liaison with a bishop, and obtained the restitution.

In 1331, Robert used the forgery created by Jeanne, which attested to the will of his father, as a means to reclaim the County of Artois from Mahaut. The deception was discovered, leading to Jeanne's condemnation and execution. Her story later appeared as a minor character in Maurice Druon's historical novel series Les Rois maudits, which retells her forgery, and she was portrayed in both the 1972 and 2005 French miniseries adaptations.
