"Charles VII: A Noble Leader and Defender of France's Honor" In the praise and virtue of the noblemen and clerics of Boccaccio, a miniature from 1493 beautifully captures the essence of Charles VII. This engraving portrays him as a well-served ruler, surrounded by loyal subjects who admire his leadership. One notable event in Charles VII's reign was the siege of Orleans, depicted in another captivating artwork. This battle marked a turning point in the Hundred Years War, where Joan of Arc emerged as a key figure. Her story is vividly portrayed in a colored engraving that showcases her bravery and determination to defend France. The war-torn era also witnessed significant conflicts such as the defeat of Duke Clarence at Grand-Baugy and the Battle of Montlhery during the War of League for Public Good. These events highlight Charles VII's resilience against formidable opponents like Louis XI and Charles, Count of Charolais. The illuminated manuscript "Vigiles du roi Charles VII" sheds light on other crucial battles fought during this tumultuous period. The Battle of Formigny between Thomas Kyriell's English army and Jean de Clermont's forces stands out among them, showcasing French triumph over their adversaries. However, not all moments were triumphant for Charles VII. The massacre inflicted upon Armagnacs by Burgundians during civil war serves as a somber reminder that conflict often brings great suffering to innocent lives. Amidst these trials, Jean Fouquet's facsimile manuscript reveals an intriguing episode involving Jean, Duke Alencon accused conspiring with English against France. Such incidents tested Charles' ability to maintain justice within his realm. Even after his death, artists continued to commemorate Charles' legacy through engravings like "Joan Of Arc" (1655) or "The European Mourners. " These works depict how he left an indelible mark on history through his leadership and the impact of figures like Joan of Arc.
