The nobility of her purpose and the genuineness of her belief in her mission, combined with her purity of character and simple patriotism, stand clear.
Michelct's sketch of her work in his Histoire de France one of the best sections of the history, is hardly more vivid than thesi sources, upon which all the later biographies (notably that of H. A Wallon, 1860) are based.

Jeanne's native town of Domremy was one of a cluster of hamlets on the verge of France, in the smiling valley through which a winding river made its way.
Jeanne's special merit was that she saw the possibility of a great French nation, self-centered, self-sufficient, and she so stamped this message on the French heart that its characters have never faded.
The judges in Jeanne's case fortified themselves with the decision of the University of Paris, but that decision was procured by laying before the University what purported to be the statements of Jeanne, but what were in truth selected passages from her statements torn from qualifying contexts and often with the suppression of governing words.

It was René’s mother, Iolande de Bar, who took Jeanne d’Arc under her wing, convincing the court and the Dauphin that she was in fact the prophesized Maid of Orleans, and even officiating over the examination to ensure her virginity, which made a very dramatic scene in last year’s Joan of Arc film, The Messenger.
In the end, it was René who accompanied Jeanne to Chinon, and he is said to have been by her side at the siege of Orleans.
The tombstone that he had chosen for his burial at the Church of Saint Maurice was rather odd, as it was surmounted by a painting he had made showing a dying, half-skeletal king sitting on a throne, holding a scepter and orb, his crown slipping off of his head as it leans to the side.

She was captured by the Burgundians at Compiegne, sold as a prisioner of war to the English, abandoned to her fate by an ungrateful king, condemned to death by fire.
Seeing that France lacked leadership, it is possible that Yolanda of Anjou, power behind the throne, saw the opportunity of providing that leadership by exploiting this devout unschooled girl, by placing her astride a white charger at the head of the uninspired army.
