'The executioner was ordered to keep the flames at a distance from her, in order to make her die as hard as possible.

The English pushed aside the charred charcoal to reveal the charred body to prove to the crowd that she was indeed dead, and then burned the body again, lest anyone should try to collect her ashes.

The English threw the remaining ashes into the Seine.

The executioner responsible for lighting the fire, Geoffroy Therage, later described that he was very afraid that he would be thrown into hell for burning a saint. '

At the end of the epic, a sideways approach is used to describe the tragic ending of the saint.

People can no longer bear to look directly at such a picture.

Then, they saw that discourse analysis, which gave them a further understanding of the current situation in the Hundred Years' War era.

'France before Joan of Arc came to prominence was the darkest period in French history.

The long Hundred Years' War between Britain and France caused the French people to suffer a lot.

A large piece of territory in the north of France is occupied by the English army, and these areas are likely to become permanent English territory in the name of the "Second Kingdom".

The French king at the time was Charles VI, who went mad around the year Joan of Arc was born, making him completely unable to handle political affairs.

Two of the king's relatives, John the Fearless, duke of Burgundy, and Louis, duke of Orléans, also frequently quarreled over the powers of regent and the guardianship of the royal family.

And when the scandal of Queen Isabella's extramarital affairs came out, the struggle between the two factions escalated sharply.

They each began kidnapping members of the royal family, and the struggle culminated in the assassination of Duke Louis by the intrepid John.

King Henry V of England took advantage of the chaos of this political struggle to invade France, winning a dramatic victory at the Battle of Agincourt, and going on to capture towns in northern France. '

After that is what people see, a series of battles.

’ Charles VII, on the other hand, assumed the title of crown prince at the age of 4 after the deaths of his four older brothers.

He wanted to conclude a peace agreement with the fearless John, but the negotiation turned into a catastrophe. Charlie promised to protect John's safety in advance, but John was assassinated by the Armagnac faction during the negotiation.

Philip III, who succeeded the Duke of Burgundy, allied with England, and large areas of French territory were occupied by England and the Burgundians.

Queen Isabella signed the "Treaty of Troyes", which also recognized that Henry V of England and his heirs would inherit the French royal family, which was tantamount to depriving Crown Prince Charles of his right of succession.

The treaty also led to speculation that the crown prince was actually the illegitimate son of the queen and the Duke of Orléans, rather than King Charles himself.

Henry V and Charles VI died within two months, leaving only one baby—Henry VI, who nominally became the joint king of England and France, regented by Henry V's younger brother, the Duke of Bedford .

By 29, almost all of northern France, as well as parts of the southwest, were under foreign control.

England took Paris, and the Burgundians took Reims. '

People suddenly realized that this was the incident in which the previous duke identified Joan of Arc, which caused his nephew—Henry VI to fail to become the king of France! ?

'Reims - has always been the traditional site of the coronation and ordination of French kings, especially at this time when none of the French royal claimants to the throne have been coronated.

England now launched an offensive against Orléans, which, on the Loire River, became the last strategically important point to stop the British army from advancing into the remaining French territory.

At that time, the survival of the French nation was facing an unprecedented crisis - "the fate of the whole kingdom is tied to Orleans". '

And Joan of Arc, the saint who almost single-handedly supported Charles VII, almost changed everything by herself...

A girl who saved her own country.

Although she died, but after looking at her achievements, she will find out what a miracle she has done.

It can be said that if there is no Joan of Arc, there will be no future France and no future Charles VII.

However -

Joan of Arc is just a slightly younger, prettier country girl from an obscure village.

But she became a legend in just a few years.

Before Joan of Arc, both Britain and France justified the war with the thousand-year-old Salic inheritance law. This war was originally just a conflict between kings for inheritance rights.

After the appearance of Joan of Arc, it brought a different meaning to the war.

As Jean de Metz said: "Many of our (French) kings are descended from English blood; but are we going to be English?"

As Stephen Richey puts it: "She turned an otherwise dreary inter-dynastic conflict, in which ordinary people suffered but were not interested, into a passionate crusade to defend the country."

"Five centuries after her death, people have remembered her with everything: (she was) a fanatic, a religious mystic, innocent, yet sadly a pawn played by those in power, and at the same time Founder and symbol of modern nationalism, adored heroine and saint.

Even when she faced the threat of torture and death at the stake, she held on to the voice she heard from God.

Whether the voice is real or not, her deeds will shock everyone who hears her story. "

...!

Shocked, after reading the last comment on Joan of Arc, Jenny was still thinking about the figure carrying the platinum iris banner and walking forward.

She suddenly seemed to understand something——

Joan of Arc...

Even in the end, she didn't seem to regret it.

Is this the meaning, my lord, you want to tell me?

Yes--

It is extremely difficult to save a country and one's own hometown with this ordinary body—even a miracle that cannot be realized at all.
