1454 1472 Beauvais Burgundians Defended Hachette Heroic Heroine Jeanne Perlet
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Jeanne Hachette, also known as Jeanne Laisne or Jeanne Perlet, a brave and heroic Frenchwoman who defended the city of Beauvais against the invading Burgundian forces in 1472. Born around 1454, Jeanne's courage and determination in the face of adversity have become the stuff of legend. Jeanne is shown here in full battle regalia, waving a flag bearing the arms of Beauvais as she charges forward with an axe in hand. Her fierce expression and resolute posture convey the unwavering spirit of this remarkable woman, who refused to be intimidated by the Burgundian threat. Despite being outnumbered and outmatched, Jeanne and her fellow citizens of Beauvais put up a valiant resistance, managing to hold out against the Burgundians for several days before the city was eventually taken. Jeanne herself was captured during the final assault, but her heroism did not go unnoticed. She was later released and hailed as a heroine, her name becoming synonymous with the indomitable spirit of the people of Beauvais. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Jeanne Hachette, a woman who defied the odds and inspired generations with her bravery and determination. It serves as a reminder of the important role that ordinary people can play in shaping history, and the power of the human spirit to overcome even the most formidable challenges.
