OK Ms. Sue I figured out some more! Are these correct:
-The name for the king before he is crowned is the Dauphin
-Joan met with the king at a chateau called Chinon.
-The king played a trick on Joan at their first meeting, What did he do?
ANSWER-He hid himself among the lords and ladies.
-Joan's first big battle was at the city of Orleans
-Joan lived in the 15th century.
The only one I can't figure out is why didn't the King want to save Joan after she was captured!
Your answers are correct.
I couldn't find a motive for the King's refusal to save Joan. It was probably brought out in the movie, which I haven't seen.
Sorry.
Great job with your answers! You have most of them correct.
- The name for the king before he is crowned is indeed the Dauphin. The Dauphin was the title given to the heir apparent to the French throne.
- Joan did meet with the king at a chateau called Chinon. This is where she had her first meeting with the Dauphin, Charles VII, and convinced him to support her cause.
- The king did play a trick on Joan at their first meeting. He hid himself among the lords and ladies in the room to test Joan's ability to identify him without any prior knowledge. Joan, however, immediately recognized him and went straight to him, surprising everyone.
- Joan's first big battle was indeed at the city of Orleans. This battle, known as the Siege of Orleans, was a significant turning point in the Hundred Years' War between France and England.
- Joan did live in the 15th century. Specifically, she was born in Domrémy, France, in 1412 and passed away in 1431.
Now, regarding why the King didn't want to save Joan after she was captured, it's important to note that Joan faced capture and was ultimately handed over to the English. One possible reason for the King's hesitation to intervene could be due to political concerns. Joan's successes on the battlefield threatened the power dynamics and allegiances within France. Additionally, Charles VII didn't want to antagonize the English, who were his enemies, by publicly interfering with her trial and execution. Ultimately, he failed to rescue Joan from her fate, despite her unwavering loyalty to him.
