In 1428 and 1429, a nine-month long siege opposed French loyalists defending the city of Orléans for Charles VII and English troops intent on winning this key city in the name of their own king. That protracted siege came to a swift and definitive end with the arrival of Joan the Maid and French reinforcements. The apparently miraculous victory won by the French, and inspired by the Maid, was not to be forgotten in the hearts and minds of the Orléans population; documents produced locally in the fifteenth century all recount, to varying degrees and for different purposes, the significance of those events.
