EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, Jeanne Hachette, also known as Jeanne Lamme or Fourquet, stands defiantly before the besieging Burgundian army in the historic town of Beauvais, France, during the summer of 1472. The Burgundians, led by Duke Charles the Bold, had laid siege to the town in an attempt to conquer it for the House of Burgundy. However, the determination and courage of Jeanne Hachette and her fellow citizens were not to be underestimated. Jeanne, a local woman of great influence and leadership, rallied her community to resist the invading forces. With unwavering spirit and a deep sense of patriotism, she urged her fellow Beauvaisians to stand firm and fight for their town. Her impassioned speeches and unyielding resolve inspired the citizens to repel the Burgundian attacks and turn the tide of the battle. The siege of Beauvais was a pivotal moment in French history, as it marked a significant victory for the French against the Burgundians. Jeanne Hachette's leadership and bravery were instrumental in the successful defense of the town, and her name became synonymous with the spirit of resistance in the face of adversity. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to witness the inspiring story of Jeanne Hachette and the courageous citizens of Beauvais. The image, with its rich details and evocative atmosphere, invites us to reflect on the power of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds. The events depicted in this photograph are a testament to the enduring legacy of Jeanne Hachette and the indomitable spirit of the people of Beauvais.
