He was anxious to acknowledge her services ; but she refused all rewards for herself or for her family, and only asked the favour that her birthplace might hereafter be free from any kind of impost. This privilege, so honourable both to the giver and receiver, was granted by the King in an Ordinance dated July 31, 1429, and confirmed by another in 1459.
