Question

Beginning with the battle at Orleans, briefly describe events that took place leading up to Joan’s death.

Answer 1

Beginning with the battle of Orleans, Joan of Arc entered the Burgundian territory disguised as a male. She then met the future King Charles and made a good impression by him. She was said to be the inspiration of a collapsing France, so the court provided her with troops and support. She revived the lost hope of France, winning battles one after another. Joan carried her banner in battle and is said to have never killed anyone. However in the year 1430, she was later captured at Compiegne by Lionel de Wandomme. She was imprisoned at Beaurevoir castle and was later transferred to a keep Rouen. Joan was trialed by pro-Anglo clerics and was declared as heretic and a witch. She was executed by burning in the same year 1430.
