The Siege of Orléans


Listen Later

In 1429, France stood on the edge of collapse. English forces had tightened their grip, and the fall of Orléans seemed inevitable. Then, a teenage girl claiming divine guidance arrived and changed everything.

In this episode of Compact Warfare, we explore the Siege of Orléans, the desperate French defence, the bold English strategy, and the extraordinary impact of Joan of Arc. From starvation and siege tactics to sudden, aggressive counterattacks, this is the story of how one battle reignited a nation and turned the tide of the Hundred Years' War.
