Jacques D ' Arc And His Wife Isabelle

The war began in 1337. King Edward lll of England and other english lords thought they should be king of France simply because they were related to William the Conquer. They found this important because William the Conquer came from France and Normandy to take over France (so they believed they could do the same thing he did). While king Edward ruled he invaded France 3 times, taking control of Normandy and a few other places. But when he died the French took back their land and there was a new king of England, King Henry V. Meanwhile in France, their king Charles Vl was going insane, and the People in France wanted a new king (even though the next heir to the throne would be the Dauphine Charles). King Henry decided this would be the perfect time to strike, so he invaded France in 1415. In this battle kind Henry's bow men killed half of the french knights. This allowed kind henry to regain Normandy, but he wanted to rule all of France; a task which king Edward never got to complete. He started to edge his way into France by becoming friends with the Duke of Burgundy. Then he convinced the wife of Charles to sign a document saying hat her son is no longer the next ruler of France, but instead Henry would marry their daughter and therefore be the next king. This would also make their children the heirs to the throne. In 1422, both king Henry V and king

Her parents owned about 50 acres of land and her father was a town official. She lived a normal holy life until one day when she was 13 St's Catherine of Sienna, Margret, and Michael, who told her to drive out the English from France and to bring Dauphin to Reims for his coronation. Three years later when she was 16 she asked a relative to take her to Vancoleurs where she asked the garrison commander Robert de Baudricourt for an armed escort to bring her to the French Royal Court at Chinon. At first, he thought she was joking and rejected her request, but at their second meeting where she made a prediction about the outcome of the next battle before the messengers arrived to report it her request was granted. She traveled to Chinon dressed as a male soldier which would later lead to charges of "cross-dressing." At Chinon she was accepted as a soldier and began her campaign to liberate France and bring the true king to the throne. “With the favor of her king supporting her, Joan the Maid could now unfurl her banners” (Carrol 519).

Joan of Arc was born in XXXX in the French town of Domrémy. Her family was well-off farmers. From a young age, Joan was a devout Christian. At the age of 13, Joan reported she received her divine mission where she saw a bright light and heard the voice of God commanding her she would lift the siege of Orleans and she must go to Robert de Baudricourt for an escort. She claimed to be visited by Saint Michael, Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret, who gave her advice on how to proceed in her divine mission. Around the time of her birth, France was in despair. Before Joan of Arc’s campaign, the French had lost several major battles to the English including the annihilation of the French army at Agincourt with a loss of 10,000 French soldiers. France had also been devastated by the Black plague from 1348 to 1349 resulting in the halt of the war for nearly a decade and a significantly reduced army. After multiple losses, morale was low and

The book pointed out that Joan was what many would consider special because she believed that she had seen and heard saints. She believed that St. Michael was her first spiritual experience, but her revelations continued to become more vivid and frequent, as her life continued. She was convinced they came from God. People either thought she was special because she heard voices from god or because they thought she was mentally ill. Joan had realized that her voices were telling her that she was chosen by God to rescue Dauphin Charles and the country of France. Joan was directed to a town called Vaucouleurs to get help from the governor and prepare to rescue Orleans and the Dauphin.

A few years later, Henry V landed in France with ten thousand men and besieged Harfleur, a port town along the French coast. The siege lasted for a month, and Henry marched into the town, victorious, with very few men, because most of them died from disease. He then set course for Calais, but was stopped by French forces in Agincourt. Henry had only about six thousand men and the French force had twenty thousand. Henry used the woodland to give his forces a better chance. The French, on the other hand, set up three lines with knights in front. The knights were easily taken down by English longbowmen, the second line was slowed down by muddy swampland, and the third line retreated. This was a decisive victory for Henry and his outnumbered army. Henry continued advancing to Calais. Next, Scottish and French armies join forces and raid English holdings in Normandy. The English forces were decimated by the combined forces of France and Scotland. Soon after that battle, The French and Scottish tried once more to remove English control of Normandy, but their forces were easily cut down by longbowmen.

The English started to take control of most of France again, started winning more battles. “The balance of power changed in 1429, with the appearance of Joan of Arc,
