Charles VII crowned at Rheims
1429 · Event
Anointed with the sacred oil of Clovis in the cathedral where French kings are made — deep in territory that was enemy ground four months earlier — the disinherited Dauphin becomes the Lord's anointed King of France, with Joan standing beside the altar, banner in hand. Her mission, as the voices gave it, is complete; she is nineteen, and has a year of freedom left.
