Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany, Vol. 4: Of Instructive Entertaining Tracts
This young king being incapable of ruling in his own person, his government in France was conducted by the Dukes of Bedford and Gloucester. These noblemen had a difficult part to act; for Charles, the Dauphin, or son of the late king of France, had a party in the state who favoured his preferable claims to the throne and, besides, the civil broils among the noblesse and peasantry kept everything unsettled. The English power, fortified by the Duke of Burgundy, was, however, supreme. All the towns and forts were garrisoned with English soldiers; and it is not unlikely that, with prudent management, and with a popular monarch, France would have irrevocably become a province of England.
Such a misfortune for both countries was prevented in a most singular manner by the intrepidity Of a peasant-girl; and it is the story Of this girl that we now propose to tell, and we tell it to the shame of the English nation - the shame of bigotry - the shame of having cruelly maltreated an innocent and patriotic maiden.
