Louis XI -> Conflict with the Nobility Louis began his reign by dismissing many of his father's best advisers; but he soon deserted his former allies of the Praguerie and began the task of centralizing all authority in the crown.

Charles VII put it down without pity, even after learning that his own son, the Dauphin, was a leader of this rebellion, second only to the most vociferous of the insurgents.
When one becomes slightly revolutionary, a conspirator, one is unable not to continue, even when one's cousin's castle and assets have been confiscated and he sent into exile, which happened to many of the nobles under Charles VII.
The nobles continued hatching their devious plots under Louis XI's reign, and the names are the same as those of his accomplices in the Praguerie, replaced by their nephews.

 Michael Miller - Wars of the Roses - Chapter 62: The Neville's pre-eminence reduced: 1465 and 1466
It is indeed ironic that the Praguerie should have arisen from the same causes as those which had inspired King Louis XI, when he was still the Dauphin, to take sides against his own father in 1440.
The Praguerie of 1465 was named 'The League of Common Good' (La Ligue du Bien Publique), and, to begin with, was more of a protest than an armed rebellion, although the spectre of armed force lay behind it.
He now embarked on a course of action which was to lead to a Praguerie in England, which in turn was to lead to the temporary unseating of the House of York in 1470, and very nearly to its complete downfall.

 Review of CBS' Joan of Arc Miniseries
There is absolutely no evidence for this, nor any indication of how her sacrifice would have pushed him to take such measures, nor any reason to assume that Joan had any interest in such policies.
Her commanders certainly did not, as a number of them later rebelled against Charles in 1439 (a revolt known as "The Praguerie") in response to his formation of a standing army in violation of the nobles' traditional rights.
Joan's stated goal was to crown Charles as the legitimate heir to the throne because, as she said, such was God's will; she tried to make him a better ruler by asking him to abide by certain moral precepts.

 Michael Miller - Wars of the Roses - Chapter 63: Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, isolated: 1467
With a tenacity worthy of a better cause, Warwick persisted in advocating a close alliance with France, and was thus seen to identify himself with failure.
King Edward IV had always preferred closer ties with Burgundy, one of the successful parties to the praguerie which had so humiliated Louis, and was thus vindicated by the results.
The now pre-dominant Wydevilles, whether as the result of a close analysis of the respective merits of alliances with France or Burgundy or from simple sycophancy, had followed the lead given by the King.

The repeated indignation attempts of the same clouded the last days of the king, and the fear of poisoning practiced a destructive influence on spirit and body.

No sooner was this done than the nobles began to chafe under it; they scented in the air the coming troubles; they, took as their head, poor innocents, the young Dauphin Louis, who was willing enough to resist the concentration of power in royal hands.
Their champion of 1439, the leader of the "Praguerie," as this new league was called, in imitation, it is said, of the Hussite movement at Prague, the enthusiastic defender of noble privilege against the royal power, was the man who afterwards, as Louis XI., was the destroyer of the noblesse on behalf of royalty.
Louis was sent down to the east to govern Dauphiny; the lessons of the civil war were not lost on Charles; he crushed the freebooters of Champagne, drove the English out of Pontois in 1441, moved actively up and down France, reducing anarchy, restoring order, resisting English attacks.
