Joan had traveled to Compiègne to help defend the city against an English and Burgundian siege. A skirmish on May 23, 1430, led to her capture, when her force attempted to attack the Burgundian's camp at Margny. When she ordered a retreat into the nearby fortifications of Compiègne, after the advance of an additional force of 6,000 Burgundians, she assumed the place of honor as the last to leave the field. Burgundians surrounded the rear guard and captured Joan.
