1428 Arrives Chateau Chinon Jeanne Joan
Joan of Arc's Arrival at Chateau de Chinon, March 1428
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment when the legendary heroine, Jeanne de Arc, or Joan of Arc, arrived at the Chateau de Chinon in France on March 23, 1428. The young peasant girl, who would go on to become a military and spiritual icon, had been summoned to the castle by the Dauphin, Charles VII, who sought her help in restoring the French monarchy during the Hundred Years' War. Joan of Arc, dressed in her iconic armor, stands confidently atop her horse, her gaze fixed on the imposing fortress ahead. Her determined expression and regal bearing belie her humble origins, as she prepares to meet with the Dauphin and secure her place in French history. The Chateau de Chinon, a magnificent medieval castle nestled in the Indre Valley, looms in the background. Its towering walls and battlements, as well as its intricate architecture, serve as a stark reminder of the political turmoil and conflict that gripped Europe during this period. This scene marks a pivotal moment in the life of Joan of Arc, who would go on to lead the French army to several victories against the English, including the Battle of Orleans and the Siege of Paris. Her military successes, combined with her unwavering faith and charisma, earned her the title of "Maid of Orléans" and made her a symbol of French national pride. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and transports us back to a time when the fate of nations hung in the balance, and one young woman's courage and conviction changed the course of history.
