ll this is known and verified.

But

hese are other points I want to clarify :





His main concern was to be crowned as king of France at Reims, in order to be legitimized. I

t was almost a miracle for him to have reached Reims in Burgudian territory. But a

fter the coronation, Joan tried to convince the king to take Paris from the Burgundians and the English, but he hesitated.

Joan led an attack on Paris but she was injured and the attack was abandoned.

From there Charles VII

ended up forbidding any new assault and the army was disbanded.

From this moment, when Joan went back to war, with volunteers, she no longer represented the king and led her own army. This is very important, because when she was captured in Compiègne, the king didn't send her there

(although it is true that she was starting to become embarrassing ). She was a sort of intrepid stubborn young woman maybe ...



Concerning Pierre Cauchon, just saying he was French is incomplete.

To try to make a comparison with your country,

it's the same as if I said that, during the Civil War, a guy was « American » . You would say « North or South ? » . There were two conceptions of USA fighting each other at that time, and one of them won the war. If South had won, your country would be totally different today. It's the same with kingdom of France and Duchy of Burgundy : two conceptions of France (Armagnac vs Burgundians) were fighting each other, and if french kingdom had lost, maybe current France would be called Burgundy, who knows.

So, for the Burgundians, Joan meant nothing more than on opportunity of ransom, or a political pressure against Charles,

but symbolically or

sentimentally she had no value for them.



The civilians didn't feel especially French yet at that time, even in Burgundy,

they felt above all from their village and

the neighboring villages . France was composed of many regions in which numerous local languages were spoken. People in the north did not understand people in the south (langue d'oïl / langue d'oc). But ironicaly,
