Joan of Arc became a symbol of the Catholic League in the 16th century.
 Around this time she began calling herself "Joan the Maiden", emphasizing her virginity as a sign of her mission
 Just after Charles's coronation, Christine de Pizan wrote the poem Diti de Jehanne D'Arc, celebrating Joan as a supporter of Charles sent by Divine Providence; the poem captured the "surge of optimism" and "sense of wonder and gratitude" that "swept through the whole of the French" after the triumph at Orlans, according to Kennedy and Varty (1977)
