Historical background
JOAN OF ARC
(1412-1431)
Joan of Arc, known as “the Maid”, born around 1412 in Domrémy, village in the duchy of Barn 1 (currently in the Vosges department in Lorraine), and died at the stake on May 30, 1431 in Rouen, capital of the duchy of Normandy, then an English possession, is a heroine of French history. It was during the reign of Charles VII that Jeanne distinguished herself as a war leader.. In the midst of the Hundred Years' War, the dauphin Charles was supported by the Armagnacs and tried to be proclaimed king after the death of his father in 1422.. It is in this context that, around 1425, young Joan began to hear voices, which gave her the order to go to France to drive out the English and have the dauphin crowned in Reims.. After several military successes, in the name of the Kingdom of France, Charles VII officially becomes king. However, after her defeat, when she tried to return to Paris, besieged by Philippe le Bel, Jeanne was imprisoned in the castle of Beaulieu-en-Vermandois, then in that of Beaurevoir, near Cambrai.. Accused of witchcraft, wantonness, presumption and pride, she was sentenced to life imprisonment and declared a heretic and relapse on May 29, 1431, but still authorized to receive communion, she was then delivered to the English, who made her perish on May 30 on the pyre raised by them on the Place du Vieux-Marché, in Rouen. .
