No Stone Unturned: Uncovering the Performance History of the Mistere du siege d’Orleans
European Medieval Drama
(2004)
Abstract
Since their 8 May 1429 victory over English military forces, the citizens of Orléans, France, have commemorated that event annually by staging civic processions and a celebratory mass in Sainte-Croix cathedral. In the fifteenth century, the processional activities, which traced a well-established route to and from the sites of the long siege, also included a series of scaffolds from which individuals mimed the events and sung song as as the cortége passed.
