Henry VI Part 1 by William Shakespeare is a play very loosely based upon Joan's life. Yes this was written by "The William Shakespeare" but unfortunately it is not one of his better works. In fact, the historical accuracy is so bad that some have tried to claim that Shakespeare never actually wrote it.

Shakespeare's Henry V provides excellent coverage of the famous Battle of Agincourt which was a crushing defeat for the French and created the desperate conditions in France that necessitated the miracle that Joan of Arc provided. Understanding the negative effects that this battle had upon France is essential to understanding the huge role that Joan of Arc played in helping France to ultimately win the Hundred Years War.
