has finally happened - Charley has acted like a king and at last is prepared to rule all of France. Epilogue: 32 years later, February 28, 1461. The Great Hall is crowded, Charley is on his throne. A courtier has just announced: "Ladies and gentlemen. I give you King Charles, who was well served by the blessed Joan of Arc. I give you King Charles, who unified and created a French nation single-handed. I give you King Charles, my friends, who rode into battle at the head of his troops, took Rouen and reconvened the trial that vindicated the virgin martyr of Lorraine. I give you King Charles, who is 58 years old this day. I give you King Charles VII of France." When the throng leaves, Charley reflects and daydreams. He sees the cathedral wall of his earlier nightmare. It's a nice dream now. Joan is alone in a niche. They talk. She tells him he has earned his place in history. He says it happened only because she believed in him. And as Charley goes to her, Joan kneels.
