Joan of Arc picked the dauphin Charles, the crown prince of France, out of a room full of about 300 courtiers on March 6, 1429. Joan told the dauphin that God had given her a mission to raise the siege of Orleans by the English and to then conduct him to Rheims to be crowned King of France.

The amazed dauphin asked Joan if she could give him a sign that she was truly

sent to him by God? Joan told the dauphin (in private, of course) that she knew of a prayer he had said the previous November, in which he had asked God that if he, Charles, was indeed the legitimate heir to the French throne, to help him be crowned, but that if he were illegitimate (his mother had slept around, so his very legitimacy had been in doubt), to please let him suffer and not his poor

people any longer by the cruelty of the English. Joan then assured him that God had told her that he was indeed the legitimate heir to the French throne!

Charles was stunned by this revelation. He immediately believed Joan and gave her a great war horse, a new suit of armor, a steward, pages and heralds, and an army with which to raise the siege of Orleans.
