About Greatest Hours in History Of France - Jeanne Hachette and Louis XI:

Jeanne Laisné (born circa 1454)  was a French heroine known as Jeanne Fourquet and nicknamed Jeanne Hachette ('Joan the Hatchet'). She was the daughter of a peasant.

She is known for an act of heroism on 27.06.1472, when she prevented the capture of Beauvais by the troops of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. The town was defended by only 300 men-at-arms, commanded by Louis de Balagny.

The Burgundians were making an assault, and one of their soldiers had planted a flag upon the battlements, when Jeanne, axe in hand, flung herself upon him, hurled him into the moat, tore down the flag, and revived the sagging morale of the garrison. 

In recognition for this heroic deed, Louis XI instituted a procession in Beauvais called the "Procession of the Assault", and married Jeanne to her chosen lover Colin Pilon, loading them with favours. There is an annual religious procession on the last weekend in June through the streets of Beauvais to commemorate Jeanne's deed.

A statue of her was unveiled on 06.07.1851. During the ceremony, the Beauvais poet, Fanny Dénoix des Vergnes (1798-1879) read her poem, Jeanne Hachette, or the "siege of Beauvais".

A Minature Sheet (MS) commemorating historical moments in French History ("Grandes Heures Histoire - France") has two stamps of 3.00 Euro each featuring Jeanne Hachette on one stamp and Louis XI on the other.

The MS extension image depicts the Burgundians attacking the Beauvais fortifications.
