What battle was Joan of Arc in when she was shot?

Answer 1

Joan was shot by an arrow over her left breast on May 7th, 1429, as she was

mounting an assault ladder at the Tourelles, an English fort located on the south end of the long bridge which crossed north over the Loire River into Orleans.

This battle was what ultimately raised the siege (by the English) of Orleans.

The French had a boat set on fire underneath the drawbridge leading from the

barbican in front of the Tourelles and back into the main gatehouse of the Tourelles.

Joan pulled the arrow out herself, and after she had been treated with bacon fat and lard, returned to the battle. She had the exhausted French troops "rest for awhile, to eat and drink, and then to try once more". Shortly afterward she returned to the barbican and waved her famous white banner, which terrified the English, who thought she had been killed, and inspired her own troops to storm the barbican. The English commander, William Glasdale, tried to escape from the barbican over the drawbridge back into the main gatehouse. But the drawbridge, which had been weakened by the fire underneath it, collapsed and Glasdale and 500 of his men fell into the Loire and drowned.

The siege was over!

Answer 2

Joan of Arc's last battle was on 23 May 1430, and was a skirmish near Compiègne, between French forces on one side, and English and Burgundian forces on the other. The skirmish was part of the Siege of Compiègne.
