Joan of Arc at the coronation of Charles VII, 1429 (1882-1884). Joan of Arc persuaded Charles to declare himself King of France (at the time France was ruled by England under the terms of the Treaty of Troyes signed in 1420). Joan was captured by the English and executed and martyred in 1431, but Charles went on to regain all of France from the English, with the exception of Calais. A print from La France et les Français à Travers les Siècles, Volume I, F Roy editor, Saint-Antoine, 1882-1884.
