crown to the masses – an interest which could be interpreted as understanding the current weakness of its authority. This weakness can also be seen to manifest itself in the various unrests during Richard’s rule: namely the Lords Appellant Strike as well as the Peasant’s Revolt in 1381. Despite the success of handling the Revolt, this was arguably the peak of Richard’s rule, with nothing else quite comparing to the authoritative stance he took when dealing with Tyler, yet it still underlines the continuing dissatisfaction with the ruling elite and the ability to express this against the authority of the crown. Thomas Walsingham notes the rebels ‘set out for the residence of the duke of Lancaster. They tore golden cloths and silk hangings…’ This tells of the lack of authority both nobles and the crown held during Richard’s reign, to be disobeyed and destroyed in such a manner highlights the beginning of the end of Richard’s rule. While similar events were mirrored across Europe, indicating how this factor alone would not be enough to dethrone the king, it is key to note the declining authority and prestige of the crown severely undermined Richard’s reign, thus bolstering Bolingbroke’s take of the crown and aiding in Richard’s deposition. Overall, while Bolingbroke’s ambition was certainly a key factor in Richard’s deposition, the primary cause was certainly Richard’s actions and the effect they had on the nation, yet it is also important to consider the already declining prestige and authority of the crown. 16 | G ateway <strong>Chronicle</strong>
THE MAID OF ORLEANS Zaid J, 2.4 Joan of Arc is undeniably one of the most prolific heroines in our history. A young woman who used her faith and love for her country to overcome stereotypes based on her gender, age and social standing and ultimately becoming one of France's most renowned heroes. In her short 19 years, Joan managed to support and lead men into victories that ultimately helped to win 'The Hundred Year War'. How did a female child of no social standing, manage to rise through the ranks and become one of most famous and idolized women in history? This article will look at the impact she played on the freedom of France, and how she met her untimely and tragic end. Jeanne D'Arc was born in approximately 1412, to a humble peasant family in the Northeast Kingdom of France where she spent the early years of her childhood helping out on her family farm. A few years after her birth, the ongoing war began to move in towards her home and life soon became more and more challenging for her small and rural village. Around the age of 12, Joan claimed to be receiving vivid visions from the Archangel Michael and St Catherine, instructing her to free France from England's control. Over the course of the next few years, her visions increased she began requesting an audience with the French Dauphin (the French heir to the throne). Believing it was her Divine mission, Joan wanted to take the oldest son of the King - Charles VII, and lead him in battle to defend themselves against the English occupation. After many several failed attempts, support for Joan finally started to grow after some predictions from her visions seemed to miraculously come true. To disguise herself and in order to travel safely, Joan was advised by soldiers 17 | G ateway <strong>Chronicle</strong>
