 In the spring of 1429 during the Hundred Years' War, in obedience to what she said was the command of God, Joan of Arc inspired the Dauphin's armies in a series of stunning military victories which lifted the siege of Orleans and destroyed a large percentage of the remaining English forces at the battle of Patay.A series of military setbacks eventually led to her capture in the Spring of 1430 by the Burgundians, who were allied with the English.They delivered her to them for 10,000 livres.
