‘Peace Will Not be Got Except by the
End of a Lance’

Cunha Alvarenga

For the mission of the Virgin of Orléans to be crowned with success, the French people had to correspond to the grace that was granted to them. Behold, therefore, the transformation of the soldiers, who knelt at the feet of the priests and received Communion together with that pure warrior who led them into battle.

Joan of Arc’s Ring: A Question of Possession and Cultural Patrimony

Introduction: If the old adage that possession is nine tenths of the law is indeed correct, then Mr. Philippe de Villiers, founder of the Puy du Fou historical theme park near Nantes, has clearly won his case for a small silver-gilt ring taken from Joan of Arc by the English Cardinal Henry Beaufort during her 1430-31 imprisonment. The Cardinal was present, and instrumental, in the trial and execution of the Maid of Orleans in 1431, and the ring has remained in private hands in England since that time.

Joan of Arc – her beginnings

Walter Adams 

As a child Joan of Arc’s local community knew her by the name, “Jeannette.” That later became what we know in English today as “Joan” after she left her small village on the borderlands of the Holy Roman Empire and ventured on her mission into what was left of France during that period of the Hundred Years War between England and France.

Joan was born in Domrémy, which essentially was one community with Greux, and it was the latter that held the principle community church.

In French Jeanne d’Arc; by her contemporaries commonly known as la Pucelle (the Maid).
Born at Domremy in Champagne, probably on 6 January, 1412; died at Rouen, 30 May, 1431. The village of Domremy lay upon the confines of territory which recognized the suzerainty of the Duke of Burgundy, but in the protracted conflict between the Armagnacs (the party of Charles VII, King of France), on the one hand, and the Burgundians in alliance with the English, on the other, Domremy had always remained loyal to Charles.
