"Charles VII: The Resilient King of France" In the praise and virtue of the noblemen and clerics depicted in Boccaccio's 1493 miniature, we catch a glimpse of Charles VII, the illustrious king who reigned over France. With an engraving that immortalizes his presence, Charles VII stands as a symbol of strength and determination. One defining moment in his reign was the legendary siege of Orleans. This historic event is vividly captured in a colored engraving depicting Joan of Arc leading her troops to victory against all odds. It showcases not only Charles' strategic prowess but also his ability to rally his forces during times of adversity. The war-torn era known as the Hundred Years War left its mark on Charles VII's legacy. The battle at Formigny between Thomas Kyriell's English army and Jean de Clermont showcased Charles' unwavering commitment to defending French soil. Similarly, another miniature from "Vigiles du roi Charles VII" depicts the brutal massacre inflicted upon Armagnacs by Burgundians during civil unrest. Yet it was not just on the battlefield where this monarch displayed his leadership qualities. In facing accusations against Jean, Duke of Alencon for conspiring with the English, a facsimile manuscript reveals Charles' commitment to justice and fair judgment. Throughout his reign, Charles faced numerous challenges including conflicts within noble factions such as the revolt led by Louis XI against him - later known as War of League Public Good - culminating in a decisive battle at Montlhery. Centuries after his rule ended, artists continued to pay tribute to this remarkable king. An engraving from 1655 portrays Joan of Arc standing tall beside him – forever linked together through their shared triumphs. Even long after he passed away, an engraving titled "The European Mourners" captures how deeply mourned he was upon death – demonstrating that even in captivity, Charles VII's legacy continued to inspire.
