Jean-Luc Petit

Part 1: Convinced that only she can lead France to victory against the invading English, Joan of Arc leaves her childhood home to plead Charles, heir to the French throne, to allow her to guide his troops on the battlefield. Part 2: Joan has succeeded in lifting the siege on Orléans and Charles VII has been ordained King of France. However, she is injured in her failed attempt to take Paris, weakening her position at court. When she is finally captured and put on trial, she finds both her life and the sanctity of her body at stake.

Depuis son plus jeune âge, Jeanne d'Arc entend des voix lui ordonnant de bouter les Anglais hors de France et de mener le Dauphin Charles à Reims. Confiante dans sa mission, la jeune femme persuade son seigneur, le sire de Baudricourt et le Dauphin en personne de lui confier une armée. Impressionné par autant de maturité et de courage, ce dernier accepte la requête de Jeanne, mettant ainsi le royaume en péril.
