Caption

Jeanne Hachette defends Beauvais, 1472, (19th century). Jeanne Laine, known as Jeanne Hachette (literally, Joan Axe), saved the city in 1472 from the forces of Charles the Bold of Burgundy. Brandishing an axe, Jeanne killed an enemy soldier who had planted a flag on Beauvais soil, and then tore down the flag. Her bravery kept the city defended until the arrival of reinforcements. Card from a series produced by the chocolate factory at the Monastery of Aiguebelle.
