Jehanne D Arc is a European jacquard wall tapestry depicting the Coat of arms of Joan of Arc. This famous woman of history was born in Lorraine in 1412. She played a major and somewhat mysterious role in rallying the flagging forces of Charles VII against the English occupier in 1429. She lead her troops in breaking the siege of Orléans and having Charles VII officially crowned king in Reims the same year. Because of her remarkable actions, Charles VII granted her family arms and nobility. Knowing her deeds points to the symbolism of the arms.
