Historical background
Joan of Arc said that divine voices had given her a mission to help Charles VII. In 1429 she joined the French forces at Orléans, where they lifted the siege. Charles was crowned at Reims later that year.
Captured by Burgundian forces in 1430 and handed over to the English, Joan was tried by an ecclesiastical court and executed at Rouen in 1431. A later inquiry overturned the conviction.
