Joan of Arc testified at her trial that she had been visited from the age of 12 by visions and voices of three saints (Michael, Catherine and Margaret) who told her to help drive the English out and have the Dauphin crowned at the Cathedral at Reims. She finally was able to get support to go to Chinon to the Dauphin and speak with him there.
In this image, Joan of Arc is entering Chinon, depicted here already in armor, to tell the king that he was to put her in charge of France's army and then she would lead it to victory over the English.
