"On the field, I saw a man, young like we were. He carried his brother in a sack over his shoulder. He told me he had promised their mother to take him home. Would you do that for me? I would, but you? I do not know."

« Le Bal des Ardents »

Finished a seven pages summary of one of my favorite historic moment in French history « Le Bal des Ardents » ! It is set the 28 January 1389 .

Now some facts I couldn’t put in it !

Charles VI killed four men in a frenzy because he thought they were British soldier send to kill him ! They were in facts, only his close guard. The episode started after a man talked to him in the forest it all took place. He took 8 months to recover from this.

Strangely enough, even though « le Bal des Ardents » was a hugely traumatizing event, it is not the one that granted him his nickname « Le Fol » (the crazy ). It’s only 7 months after his mental health declined again without signs of improvements.

Infos kind of vary there but the event took place in the Hotel Saint-Pol OR the destructed and then reconstructed Hotel de la Reine Blanche.

Louis d’Orléans was 17 when it happened. People did think he did this to kill Charles VI and took the thrones. After the event he build the chapel « Le Couvent des Célestins » to expiate his crimes.

English is not my first languages also , sorry about the mistakes !!

so simon mirren one of the writers of versailles posted this and im very !!! what is it !! who can it be !! it's unlikely it will be something louis xiv related although i would be surprised if it is!

i need a historical fashion girlie to tell me what era this is.

that being said he has tagged the versailles cast as well as helen mirren and bella thorne which makes me curious. but also he's tagged some random versailles fan accounts and the château so maybe he just wanted the word out a bit more.

"Entrée de Jeanne d'Arc à Orléans"

by Jean-Jacques Scherrer

Oil Painting, 1887.

Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Orléans.

HISTORY

Joan of Arc (one of the many spellings of her name) is one of France's patron saints and was honored for her role in the Siege of Orléans (1428-1429) during the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453).

She grew up as a peasant, her father being a farmer, but she had divine visions that she was visited and guided by archangel Micheal, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine. After having these sights, Joan acted accordingly, joining forces with the French by gaining respect for her piety and firmness, swaying Captain Robert de Baudricourt into her favor.

Long story short (definitely watch a video or read about her history instead of going off of my quick knowledge, in case you're interested and I miss certain facts... soz): Joan of Arc promised Dauphin Charles that he would be coronated at Reims if he allowed her to fight the English. Yeah... they were skeptical—mainly due to Joan being a 16-17-year-old woman at the time—so Charles had sacerdotal authorities interrogate her. After review, and considering the devastating turnout of Orléans (which has been under British siege), the clergy decided it'd be best for Charles to use the young woman as she's asking to be involved.

Assigned to join in taking back Orléans, Joan arrives with supplies on the 19th of April, 1429, alongside Commander Étienne de Vignolles (or *thank God for nicknames* La Hire). May 4th was when things started to pick up, the French launching an attack, which the saint almost missed due to napping (hey, I get it), and in the meantime, Joan sent out letters to the British, basically telling them to fuck off her land before a sword gets shoved up a not so divine place. On the 7th, Joan was WIA, but that didn't stop her from continuing her duty, and by the 8th, the British surrendered.

Joan of Arc is widely remembered as a woman who faced perseverance when it was uncommon for a woman combatant to exist, especially one who instantly rose to the top, fighting as a leader amongst male French commanders. Even burned at the stake by the English around the age of 19, Joan kept her faith, the same that got her onto the battlefield and was depicted proudly on the flag she waved. In 1920, she was finally recognized by the Roman Catholic Church and canonized by Pope Benedict XV as a patron saint for her home country. She's respected as a martyr and seen as a symbol of freedom, not only in a patriotic context but as a feminist (as she is hailed as one of the earliest feminists in middle-age history).

Again, I beg of you, if you are interested in learning more about the Siege of Orléans and/or Saint Joan of Arc, check out a video or pick up a book on the topic. I'm terrible at regurgitating historical information, especially when I haven't gotten any sleep. I'm not a historian, just a 19-year-old girl who likes to post art (ಠ_ಠ).
