Following French victory at Patay (19 June), Jeanne d’Arc captured Troyes, Chalons and Rheims from the English, then rashly attempted an attack on Paris on the religious festival of Our Lady’s Nativity, despite lack of support from the newly crowned King Charles VII. She was wounded by an arrow in the thigh and her impetuous attack was driven off.
