In which city is the monument to Zhanna Dark. Joan of Arc

  • 05.11.2019

Monuments Zhanna d'Ark in Paris are a few, the most famous of them is installed on a small Pyramid Square, which is on Rivoli. The area, located opposite the entrance to the Tuilery Garden, is named so in memory of Napoleon's expedition to Egypt. On the eve of the Franco-Prussian War of 1871, the Republican Government ordered the sculptor Emmanuel Form of the equestrian statue of Jeanne d'Ark to establish it here. The monument was ready for 1874 and came as it was impossible to more by the time - after defeating in the war in the country, the patriotic rise began, every city wanted to have a monument to the Orrugan Virgin.

With an equestrian statue, at first, the casus happened: the sculptor did not take into account the laws of optics, according to which the rider figure stands downstairs seems less than in fact. The figure of the warrior had to enlarge so that it corresponds to the size of the horse.

The place to install the monument was not chosen by chance: not far from here Zhanna was injured during the unsuccessful siege of Paris. The city has two more equestrian statues of Zhanna - in front of the Church of Saint-Augusten and on Saint-Jacques Tower, as well as a hiking monument at the Virgin Museum. In addition, the sculptural image of the saint is almost in every Catholic Cathedral of the country. Monument on Pyramid Square - the most famous and at the same time possessing the smallest artistic advantages.

Jeanne is depicted in lats, with a stain in his hand, a rider shapes and a horse are covered with sparkling gilding. Today, the monument is the center of attraction for patriotic shares of various kinds.

Zhanna D'Ark, a simple peasant girl, during the century of war of the XIV-XV centuries saved France from English occupation. After a number of striking victories, he was captured to the Burgundians, who handed it to the British. Burned on the fire as a sordle. Subsequently rehabilitated and canonized - ranked with the Saints Catholic Church. National heroine of the French people. Every year on May 8, all France celebrates Jeanne d'Ark day. The name of the savory of the country is called a helicopter cruiser, as well as an asteroid.


For such conclusions there are a lot of reasons. Thus, the official execution date was arbitrarily established subsequently - apparently to end the inconvenience of discrepancies. It is now taken to consider that it happened 30 (or 31 - even there is a discrepancy) of May 1431. However, in the English chronicles it is said that the execution took place in February 1432. But with a month and number, there is also no clarity: some are called June 14 or July 6; There are other options.

It also suggests the fact that the texts of the Protocol of the Ruan Process, which are in England and in France are very different from each other, and the original protocol disappeared.

It is also widely known that in the morning before the execution of Zhanna confessed the bishop of Pierre Sosteau, who headed the court over her, and received his vacation of sins. Consequently, she was still not recognized by the sorcerer, all the more it was not subject to compassion - one of the Christian sacraments, when the prayers are read over seriously ill, dying or sentenced to death and make anointing of his body with a bare person.

All this can mean only one thing: she was not going to execute.

The conditions for the substitution of Jeanne during the execution were very favorable. The area around the future fire hooked about 800 English soldiers who pushed people away from the "scene". Another 120 soldiers led to the convicted of execution. They tightly surrounded the woman's head and her face were covered with a hood, so considering the appearance was absolutely impossible. The execution was accomplished, but even at that time few people believed that Jeanne d "Ark was burned.

In the archives of the Ruan Archbishland, protocols about the executions and reports on related expenses are stored - up to accounts for the supply of firewood for a fire and charges of payment services for the executioner and his assistant. However, in the documents for the 1430-1432 years, there is no mention of the execution of Zhanna, although the information about the burning of five witches appear. Therefore, it is likely that not Jeanne was executed then.

What happened in this case with a real Zhanna d "Ark, and who was it really?

There are good reason to believe that the Orleans Virgin Jeanne is the daughter of Louis, the duke of Orleansky, the governor and the cousin of the king of France Karl VI, and Isabella Bavarian, Karl VI wives and the "part-time" of the mistress of this Louis.

The fact is that Karl VI (on the nicknamed insane), asked for the throne of a twelve-year-old boy, rules only four years - from 1388 to 1392, when the young king struck the first attack of madness. Soon because of the progressive mental illness, he lost the feeling of reality and became a puppet in the hands of his environment - wives, Isabella Bavarian, and Cousin, Louis Orleans. If the above assumptions about the origin of the Orleans Virgin is true, then it turns out that Jeanne was a single sister of Catherine de Valua, the Queen of England, as well as Karl Vii, the King of France, whose crowning in Reims in 1429, as is known, Jeanne D "ARC has become vigorously promoted . Then it becomes clear why her execution was only staged.

Well, if Zhanna remained alive, it means there should be traces of her further life. And they are detected. For example, in the counting book of the city of Orleans for 1436, where the expenses of the city authorities were recorded, there is a record of the fee for the delivery of letters from the Virgin Zhanna from the city of Arlon in Luxembourg. There are other similar records where it seems to be executed Virgo.

However, the culmination of this story can be considered the appearance of Jeanne D. "Ark in the city of Orleans on July 28, 1439, that is, eight years after her official death. True, now she wore the name Zhanna D" Armuaz. It was documented that it was she who, Orleans, because in the city there lived a lot of people who knew Jeanne from the times of war and the siege of Orleans and even those who participated in the coronation of Karl VII.

Entries in the documents also show that the Mother Zhanna - Isabella Bavarian was also in the same days in the city. And they refer to a pension established by the authorities of the city for Isabella. One of the researchers believes that the King King himself arrived then in Orleans to welcome the virgin.

There are other evidence of "resurrection" Zhanna. The chronicles and recordings of various contemporaries are mentioned a few more cases of its appearance "in humans". Moreover, she never hid his name, although she shied away from the explanation of where previous years spent.

Perhaps its salvation is connected with the release of Paris from the British in April 1436, when the peace negotiations were already. It could be a mutual agreement, according to which the English garrison left Paris unhindered, and in the exchange of the British freed from the conclusion of Jeanne.

The epic of the Orrugan Virgin was over that she married some Robert D "Armuaza, Señora de Timmon, and lived with him until his death in 1449. In published in the XVIII century, the compilation" Documents on church and civil history Lorraine "placed chronicle of the monastery Saint-Tibo. There are pages telling about the "resurrection" Jeanne. The chronicle manuscript is considered genuine, and the fact that Jeanne D "Armuaz lived near the monastery, confirms the accuracy of the description. The author of the Chronicles (and it was Dean - the senior priest of the monastery) himself sincerely believed that she was genuine Zhanna D" Ark.

In the pedigree family of D "Armuaz, compiled in 1770 by Bername Sherne, Geroldmeister King Louis XV, said:" Robert D "Armuaz, who died without offspring. His wife is Zhanna, Virgin France.

Of course, in France at that time, admonished virgins have repeatedly appeared, so not all evidence can be considered evidence that Jeanne escaped death at the fire.

Simultaneously with the chronicle of the monastery Saint-Tibo, a copy of the marriage contract Zhanna d "Armuaz was published (the original was not found so far). It is believed that this publication may be fake, but how to interpret the fact of detection in 1968 by the tombstone with the coat of arms of the Virgin?

The number of questions is growing, and the final answer is not.

However, whatever this answer is, now we can say the following: Jeanne D "Ark was a man of a big natural mind, talent and huge courage. She managed to commit, it would seem impossible - to rally the French in the fight against the English invaders.

And she fulfilled her mission (1; 11, p. 72-76; 12, p. 581-583; 43, p. 195-196; 44, p. 160-161).

Yesterday was the day of memory Zhanna d "Ark. Below - monuments and pictures that met in various cities of France, from where I returned yesterday. I think it is logical to put them in this community, since it is hope that the story of Jeanne is actually interesting to many And in France, it is quite possible to visit a number of places associated with its name.

I was very happy to see that most of the monuments are modest. Of course, from the moment there was enough "sacred" images, but after acquaintance with her life, it is impossible to imagine any other monument, except very simple.

Every year, on the last week of May, young girls sleep with the colors in memory of their national heroine, the Orleansian Virgin - Jeanne d'Ark.

The name Zhanna d'Ark wears the church, built on the place of execution. It was erected in 1979 on the ruins of the Church of St. Vincent, which was destroyed after the events of the Second World War. Louis Arrech worked on the project.
