King Charles VII of France Honors Joan of Arc with Knighthood in a Historic Ceremony
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print captures the momentous occasion when King Charles VII of France bestows knighthood upon Joan of Arc in 1429. The image, created by the French School in the 19th century, showcases this pivotal event during the Hundred Years' War. In this educational card from the late 19th or early 20th century, we witness Joan kneeling before her king as he raises his sword to dub her a knight. Her unwavering patriotism and heroic deeds have earned her this recognition and gratitude from both royalty and country. Joan's remarkable journey as the Maid of Orleans has made her an iconic figure in history. As she stands before King Charles VII, surrounded by courtiers and witnesses, one can sense the weight of her accomplishments and dedication to liberating France from English domination. The print beautifully captures not only Joan's courage but also highlights medieval pageantry and symbolism associated with knighthood. It serves as a powerful reminder of how one woman's determination can inspire an entire nation. This historic moment signifies more than just a reward for bravery; it marks a turning point in European history. Through this act, King Charles VII acknowledges Joan's leadership qualities and grants legitimacy to her cause. As we gaze upon this exquisite artwork, we are transported back to the fifteenth century—a time when heroes were born out of dire circumstances—and reminded that even amidst war-torn landscapes, acts of valor can shape nations forever.
