Jean d'Aulon (1390–1458) (sometimes spelled Jehan Daulon) was a French knight and lord best known for serving alongside Jeanne d'Arc as her soldier, steward, bodyguard, and squire.[1][2][3][4] Some sources incorrectly attribute the role of d'Arc's bodyguard to Gilles de Rais.[5] d'Aulon was an avid and detailed journaler and his records, considered to be honest and straightforward, set the foundation for what we know about Jeanne d'Arc, including her apparent amenorrhea.[6][7][8]
