Orléans was strategically important as the last obstacle to an assault on the remainder of Charles's territory.

18522-542: The war had affected the area, and in 1425, Domrémy was attacked and cattle were stolen. This led to a sentiment among villagers that the English must be expelled from France to achieve peace. Joan had her first vision after this raid.

Her aggressive independence did not agree with the court's emphasis on finding a diplomatic solution with Burgundy, and her role in

If she answered positively, she would have been charged with heresy; if negatively, she would have confessed her own guilt. Joan avoided the trap by stating that if she was not in God's grace, she hoped God would put her there, and if she was in God's grace then she hoped she would remain so. One of
