What war did Joan of Arc fight in?

Answer 1

Joan of Arc fought, or more precisely, led and inspired the French troops, at the

raising the siege of Orleans by the English, the capture of the town of Jargeau

on the Loire River, and at the Battle of Patay, an open field battle where over

2000 English soldiers were killed. Joan mainly carried her banner into battle and

rarely used her sword because she did not want to kill anyone. She did,

however, at the battle before Paris, actually duel a Burgundian knight with a

sword and won! She captured the knight and took his armor and sword.

Joan engaged in many other minor battles, always as the leader in the thick of

the fight, and was eventually captured by the Burgundians when they raised

the drawbridge of Compeigne in May, 1430. She was later bought by the English, who hated and feared Joan, and convicted her of heresy in a mock trial

in Rouen which was totally biased and political. She was later declared innocent in a Nullification trial in 1456 called for by Charles VII, who had approached the pope, declaring Joan's original trial and execution a travesty of justice.

Answer 2

Joan"s military career was confined to the latter phases of the Hundred Years war. Specifically she fought in the battles of Orleans and Rheims, with various rear guard operations more rallies than battles, the poem (The Good Joan) is fairly accurate at least geographically. somewhat oddly , she never saw Paris though there are statues of her all over the place- and indeed, all over France.

Answer 3

The Hundred years war, the over-all campaign or series of campaigns was called. It ended in l43l. Joan specifically led the action at the Battle of Rheims in l429 which made possible the re-coronation of King Charles Vii. There were, of course numerous campaigns and skirmishes but Rheims and Orleans are the most important from a war historical viewpoint. She tactically deployed artillery pieces, by the way, advanced for l429, as well as catapults.

Answer 4

Rheims, l429 was her major campaign, which led to the liberation of Orleans and the recrowning of Charles VII as King. in the famous altar piece- there is the King, several Knights- including Joan, helmet doffed of course, and a Bishop- the columns of the building might be taken as (Rooks) the Queen of France was absent, otherwise not a bad simulacrum of the opening line-up in Chess. the theory that Chess was based on the (battle of Rheims) is still often heard- a Gallicism.
