-A play about Joan of Arc, it was written in 1952 and first performed at the Théâtre Montparnasse-Gaston Baty, 14 October 1952. It would be grouped as one of his  ''Pièces Costumées'', which also included ''[[Becket ou l'Honneur de Dieu]]'' (1959) and ''La Foire d'empoigne'' (1962).
+A play about Joan of Arc, it was written in 1952 and first performed at the Théâtre Montparnasse-Gaston Baty, 14 October 1952. It would be grouped as one of his  ''Pièces Costumées'', which also included ''[[Becket ou l'Honneur de Dieu]]'' (1959) and ''La Foire d'empoigne'' (1962). Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans, was only 19 when she was burned at the stake in the marketplace of Rouen. Born in 1412 at Domremy near Vaucouleurs on the borders of Champaigne of humble parentage, her extraordinary character and conduct make her one of the most striking heroines of history. From her earliest years she was imbued with an ancient faith and a deep religious conviction, and yet she remained a simple peasant girl, According to her own account when she was 13 she began to hear her Voices commanding her to deliver her country from the English invaders and to conduct Charles II to Rheims to be crowned King of France. For at the time, France was a divided land, held north of the Loire by the English and torn by the internal struggle for power by the Armacnac faction and the Burgundians. In 1429 she was entrusted by Charles at Chinon with a military command of 6,000 men. Donning male dress, a suit of white armour and mounted on a black charger she raised the siege of Orleans and led her King in triumph to his crowning. But enemies soon multiplied against her and in 1430 she was captured and imprisoned. Charged with heresy and witchcraft, she was found guilty and at the instigation of the presiding judge, Cauchon, she was burned at the stake on 30th May 1431, her ashes being thrown into the Seine. A Papal investigation annulled her sentence in 1456 and in 1921 she was canonized.
