"Charles VII the Victorious: A Tale of Noblemen, Clerics, and Heroic Battles" In this captivating miniature from Boccaccio's work on the praise and virtue of noblemen and clerics in 1493, we are transported to a time of great valor and triumph. Charles VII, depicted in an engraving that exudes regal power, stands as a symbol of resilience against adversity. One cannot overlook the pivotal Siege of Orleans, where Charles VII's unwavering determination led his forces to victory against all odds. The colored engraving depicting Joan of Arc tells her remarkable story - a young maiden who defied societal norms to become a fearless warrior and instrumental figure in securing France's liberation. The defeat suffered by the Duke of Clarence at Grand-Baugy showcases Charles VII's military prowess during the War of the League of Public Good. This battle between Louis XI and Charles, Count of Charolais (later known as Charles the Temeraire), highlights their relentless pursuit for dominance. As we delve into history further, we encounter another significant conflict - The Hundred Years War. The illuminated manuscript "Vigiles du roi Charles VII" reveals both triumphs and tragedies such as the Battle of Formigny where Jean de Clermont vanquished Thomas Kyriell's English army. Conversely, it also unveils heart-wrenching events like the massacre inflicted upon Armagnacs by Burgundians during civil war. Joan Bow takes center stage once again in Martial d'Auvergne's masterpiece from 1484; her indomitable spirit shines through as she is installed on a butchered horse – an image that encapsulates her sacrifice for France. Meanwhile, Jean Fouquet’s facsimile manuscript depicts Jean, Duke of Alencon facing trial for alleged treachery against his own countrymen – shedding light on political intrigue amidst turbulent times.
