It je set in the year 1430 when Joan, a simple peasant girl inspired by divine voices that only she can hear, leads a weary French armny through a series of unexpected victories against the powerful English. The 'voices' exhort Joan te help the Dauphin, Charles, who, because of the English dlaim te the throne of France, has not yet been crowned king. Joan succeeds in convincing Charles thaýt she has a divine mission teWsvpFrance which resuits in lÉer 1 ading a French army in a decisive victery over the English. Later, Joan is captuared by ýhe enemy and facing trial for heresy and sorcery. ~e charges are wearing a masculine dress and for believing she le directly responsible te Cix! rather than to the Roman Catholic Church. The trial and re-enactment of the incidents are the main elements of what makes ' The Lark' a powerful story.
