1429 - Joan of Arc meets King Charles VII, King of France in Chinon

Atlast people stopped trying to discourage Joan and some who were wealthy helped her make the journey to Chinon, to talk to King Charles the Seventh of France. When Joan arrived at Chinon,  King Charles was informed. He then disguised a noble of his and disguised himself as a common noble at the festivities that was being held at the castle. The girl was not fooled. She told the disguised noble kindly that he was not the king. Joan then turned around and picked out the King in the crowd. She talked modestly and calmly as she stated her mission to get the Dauphin crowned and how God had chosen her for this journey.  The king talked the matter over with Joan, and decided she could lead an army of about five thousand men against the English in Orleans.
