In 1428, Joan of Arc convinced the Dauphin of France to let her fight for him against the English who were claiming the right to the crown of France for their young king. In 1429, she led the troops in a victory driving the English from Orleans. This later artist's conception depicts her triumphant entry into Orleans.
