Recognising her true King

  • After she made the revelation to him,Joan's uncle took her to the captain of the town Sir Robert de Baudricourt
  • He mocked her before arranging for her meeting with the King.
  • Entering the Court of Charles V11, Joan made inclinations and reverences to the King according to the norms one is expected to follow in a King's court
  • The King denied being the King, as indicated to one of his richly clothed noblemen, calling him the King. 
  • She declared that the man she made inclinations to was the right King and no one else, and she recognised him. 
  •  She told him she wanted to raise the seige in Orleans, drive the English away, given enough fightermen.
