Did Joan of Arc break a treaty with Paris?

Answer 1

Joan of Arc never broke a treaty with Paris. It was King Charles VII who made a treaty with the Burgundians and the English to not attack Paris. Joan completely disagreed with this treaty so obviously beneficial to England to refortify Paris, and she wished to attack Paris as soon as possible. She was wounded in the thigh by an arrow on Sept. 8, 1429, and was carried from the assault. Later Charles VII ordered Joan and her army to withdraw from Paris, which greatly disappointed Joan of Arc, because she wanted to take Paris and have all of France unified.

King Charles VII was a coward who did nothing to save Joan of Arc (by ransom or by trading important prisoners, like Lord William Talbot, a great English commander who was then held by the French). This resulted in Joan' s execution in a mock trial which falsely accused her of heresy. She didn't even

have her own lawyer in the trial! This trial's verdict was later declared null

in a new trial which revealed all the errors of the original trial, a farce controlled

by the English, who hated and feared Joan and wanted her dead no matter what.
