Men's Armour
On February 13, 1429, Joan had left Vaucouleurs in men's clothing as she heads to Chinon, where the Dauphin has been staying. Once she has reached the location, she asks for permission if she could assist France to fight the English and Burgundians. She had worn men's armour because she had known that wearing this armour would make her fit in with the English as she knew that she was going to be in an English controlled area. It has been two days after she has arrived and the Dauphin finally agreed to give Joan an audience. Apparently, the Dauphin had secretly hidden amongst his court for safety reasons.
Accepted by the Dauphin
In the year 1428, Joan began to hear voices which then led her to travel to Vaucouleurs. She went knowing that her parents would refuse her to go, so instead she had to lie to them saying that she was going to help a neighbours wife give birth. Joan found the leader of the fortress and asked to let her join his force, but of course, the Dauphin wasn't going to take a sixteen-year-old peasant to join his team. Although in 1429 Joan had decided to return Vaucouleurs and for untold reasons, the captain of this force was persuaded by her enthusiasm and she had got accepted.
