<P> The appearance of Joan of Arc at the siege of Orléans sparked a revival of French spirit , and the tide began to turn against the English . The English laid siege to Orléans in 1428 , but their force was insufficient to fully invest the city . In 1429 Joan convinced the Dauphin to send her to the siege , saying she had received visions from God telling her to drive out the English . She raised the morale of the troops , and they attacked the English redoubts , forcing the English to lift the siege . Inspired by Joan , the French took several English strongholds on the Loire . </P>
