On May 8, 1429, 17-year-old Joan of Arc successfully lifted the English siege of Orléans, turning the tide of the Hundred Years' War. After arriving on April 29, Joan inspired French forces to take an aggressive stance, breaking the months-long investment in just nine days. English troops withdrew on May 8, marking a decisive French victory that boosted morale and enabled Charles VII's coronation.
