This map illustrates the Hundred Years’ War (1337–1453) at its pivotal moment in 1429, when Joan of Arc’s (French: Jeanne d'Arc) whirlwind campaign shifted momentum toward the Dauphin, Charles VII of France (reigned 1422–1461). It contrasts territories loyal to Charles with those held for the infant Henry VI of England (reigned 1422–1461) and his Burgundian ally, the Duchy of Burgundy (1363–1477).
Joan’s route begins with her ride from Domrémy to Chinon in March 1429, continues to the successful relief of Orléans in May, and traces the Loire victories and swift march to Reims for Charles’s coronation on 17 July 1429. Subsequent movements include her failed assault on Paris, winter skirmishes, capture at Compiègne on 23 May 1430, and execution at Rouen on 30 May 1431. The map underscores how her brief leadership disrupted English control in northern France and galvanized the Armagnac faction of the Kingdom of France, setting the stage for France’s eventual resurgence in the protracted conflict.
