Jeanne d'Arc Commemorative Plaque

Plaque in memory of Joan of Arc, who accompanied King Charles VII to his coronation in Reims in July 1429 and passed through Chalons en Champagne on July 14, 1429.

JEANNE d'ARC, known in German-speaking countries as "JOHANNA von ORLEANS", (1412? to 1431) was an important person in the history of France at the time of the so-called 100 Years' War between the kingdoms of England and France. After her capture, she was condemned as a heretic (at the instigation of the English) and burned, but two and a half decades later (at the instigation of the French) this sentence was overturned. She is the patroness of France.
The music group OMD (Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark) dedicated a song to her in the early 1980s: "Maid of Orleans". Find it on YouTube here:
