Explanation:
Joan of Arc was a young French woman who said she had been sent to help Charles VII during the Hundred Years' War, which led to her capture by the English-allied Burgundians during the siege of Compiègne in 1430, followed by a trial and execution conducted by a pro-English church court overseen by English commanders at Rouen, Normandy in 1431. The court found her guilty of heresy and she was burned at the stake. The trial verdict was later reversed on appeal by Jean Bréhal, the Inquisitor-General in 1456, thereby completely exonerating her. Considered a French national heroine, she was declared a saint by the Roman Catholic Church in 1920. The trial is one of the most famous in history, becoming the subject of many books and films.

(The war fought between England and France from 1337 to 1453 has come to be known as the Hundred Years War. Joan was a peasant girl born in eastern France who led the French army to several victories during this war. This play begins at the time when all of northern France and some parts of the south-west were under foreign control. The English controlled some parts and the Burgundians controlled the others. The city of New Orleans, one of the few remaining French cities was held by the English. The year is 1429. Captain Robert de Baudricourt, a military officer is seated at the table. His steward stands facing him). Robert : I told you to throw the girl out. You have fifty armed soldiers and dozens of strong servants to carry out my orders. Are they afraid of her ? Steward : No sir, we are afraid of you, but she puts courage in us. She really doesn’t seem to be afraid of anything. Perhaps you could frighten her, sir. Robert : (grimly) Perhaps, where is she now ? Steward : Down in the courtyard, sir. (Robert goes to the window and asks the soldiers to send the girl up) (The girl enters. She is a well-built, strong country girl of 17 to 18 years. The squire’s glare neither frightens her nor stops her. She speaks confidently.)
Joan : Good morning, captain squire. You are to give me a horse and armour and some soldiers, and send me to the Dauphin.
Robert : This girl is mad. Why didn’t you tell me so, you blockhead ?
Steward : Sir, do not anger her. Give her what she wants.
Robert : I shall send you back to your father with orders to put you under lock and key.
Joan : You think you will, squire. But it won’t happen that way. You said you would not see me. But here I am.
Robert : So, you are assuming that I’ll give you what you want.
Joan : Yes, squire. (Continues busily) A horse will cost sixteen francs. It is a big amount of money. But I can save it on the armour. I don’t need beautiful armour made to my measure. I can find a soldier’s armour that will fit me well enough. I shall not want many soldiers. The Dauphin will give me, all I need, to free Orleans.
Robert : (Shocked) To free Orleans !
Joan : (Simply) Yes, squire. Three men will be enough for you to send with me. Polly and Jack have promised to come with me.
