Joan of Arc Makes Her Way to Orleans.

When Joan left Chinon ahead of her soldiers, she was in her eighteenth year. Mounted on a war-horse and in white armor from head to foot, she rode. In one hand she carried an ancient sword, which has many theories as to which it came from. In her other was an embroidered white banner. The rough soldiers whom traveled with Joan had oaths to carefully guard her. She inspired the whole army with courage and faith as she talked about her visions. When she arrived at Orleans she fearlessly rode around its walls, while the English soldiers looked on in astonishment.
