EDITORS COMMENTS
Joan of Arc Urges the French Army to Attack the Last English Fortress at Tourelles and Recaptures Orleans, May 1429 This evocative image captures the pivotal moment when Joan of Arc, the legendary heroine of France, galvanizes the demoralized French army to launch a daring assault on the last English fortress at Tourelles, marking the beginning of the end of the English occupation of Orleans. The year is 1429, and the Hundred Years War between France and England is reaching its climax. Joan of Arc, dressed in her iconic armor and riding a white horse, raises her sword high above her head, her determined gaze fixed on the English fortress. Surrounded by her loyal soldiers, she urges them to charge forward with their spears, their faces etched with a mix of fear, determination, and awe. The sun sets in the background, casting a golden glow over the scene, adding an otherworldly quality to the moment. The siege of Orleans had been a long and arduous one, with the English holding out against the French despite heavy casualties. But Joan of Arc, a humble peasant girl from Domrémy, had been hearing voices from the saints since her childhood, urging her to save France from the English. She had convinced the Dauphin, the future King Charles VII, to let her lead the French army, and her military prowess and unwavering faith had already won several battles against the English. With Joan's inspiring words and the renewed spirit of the French army, the English fortress at Tourelles was breached, and the French forces surged forward, recapturing Orleans. The victory was a turning point in the Hundred Years War, and Joan of Arc went on to lead the French army to several more victories before her ultimate demise at the hands of the English in 1431. This image immortalizes the moment when Joan of Arc's courage and faith ignited the French army to victory, and her legend as a national heroine was born.
