Joan of Arc, a French peasant girl that brought the ultimate French success.

The French men listened to what she had to say and the English left France. In Documents six and seven we are given the letters that Joan wrote to the king.

    The French Army was no longer afraid of the English and England had left behind their sick men and prisoners of war in Orleans in order to escape before Joan decided to attack them again (Paine 179). Therefore, the Siege of Orleans was a turning point in the war for France. Charles VII gave Joan of Arc a chance to take Paris back from the English but she got captured by the English and burned at the stake in Rouen before she could get Paris. Henry VI, the king of England at the time, crowned himself king of France after the English defeated the French; however, because he did not know the operations of France, French armies, still on the offensive, slowly began to take back parts of France. By 1449 Charles VII pushed the English back into the town of Formigny and out of northern France, causing them to lose four thousand men, leaving only one thousand English soldiers behind. By late 1453, England has lost the war and the only French territory that they had was the coast of Calais (“The Hundred”).…

    Henry V made a significant impact on the outcome of the Hundred Years War. Henry V shifted the focus of the war to the north of France; the areas of Normandy and Brittany were now a central focus instead of lands close to Gascony in southern France. He was the first king to successfully conquer all of northern France and beyond, and not stopping at conquering, but securing permanent fixtures to ensure that his occupation would remain unchallenged. Henry V’s most important accomplishment was that of the creation of the treaty of Troyes, according to C.T. Allmand, “This was the most important treaty of the Hundred Years War”. This treaty secured the French crown for the English, achieving the goal Edward III possessed when he first invaded France.…

    France’s power in Europe at the beginning of the 16th Century, understandably made the English monarch feel threatened; not only out of envy for what he saw as ‘his throne’, but out of fear that his own empire might be taken away. The added pressure of Scotland’s looming presence as a constant potential threat may have been a distraction to Henry. In using these sources it is also clear that even when certain obstacles were overcome by the English, as a means to an end of the Scottish threat that Scotland often came back fighting no matter what Henry did.…

    Meanwhile, her friends were all but dragging the other riders off their horses. The queen appeared in the courtyard, giving orders about rounding up crates to hold the letters and handing over coins to the riders, whose eyes widened at the uncommonly generous offering. Joan and her friends had made it their routine to keep letters for their husbands in belt pouches that they now wore all the time. She dug into the pouch, extracted five missives that she had folded into small squares and sealed, then thrust them into the rider’s hands.…

She is showing strength with the guidance of God and how her kingdom will succeed because of God. “...we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people.” Her win is also, God’s win. She connects her success and failures with God because she gets her will and power from him. Queen Elizabeth is who she is because of God but doesn’t recognize how Louis XIV. “For just as God has made each person depends on the help of others for various needs. He has differentiated their status and their employments for the sake of all these needs, assigning to people the place in which they should function” God has chosen Louis XIV to rule the France beings of what he can provide to the people. He is entitled to his right and his proposed. “Since government is necessary for the public good, and God Himself has established it, it is consequently also necessary for those who are subject to government, to be submissive and obedient.” He has the power from God to rule the government and have the “backing” of God because he is chosen.

    Thanks to the friendly winds which guided us across the channel, we arrive unopposed on English shores. Defenses are built and fortified as the men, motivated by my words feast on food and wine as we await the moment of truth. We have the advantage over the enemy, for the horses we ride provide us strength and quickness. We are truly blessed that the English have turned back Harald Hadrada and the Norwegians at Stamford Bridge. Now there is one less opponent to fight for my crown. Though battle tested and weary, Harold of Wessex will not easily relinquish what is rightfully mine. Remember, it is Harold who swore allegiance to me after I freed him from Count Guy of Ponthieu. I gave him arms and armor as he swore the sacred oath upon saintly relics. That oath, a pledge to support my claim to the English throne was broken (New World Encyclopedia, 2009).…
