Synopsis

In 1429, shortly after the Siege of Orléans during the Hundred Years' War between France and England, the peasant Adémaï's new bride Tiennette is captured by an English lord who coverts her for himself. She is imprisoned in a castle, then rescued by a French force in which two men also desire her and fight each other in a tournament. Adéma meanwhile keeps getting caught up in the fighting between the English and French. When he sees Tiennette leaving with the handsome Philippe de Beauregard, a resigned Adémaï goes to enlist in the forces of Joan of Arc.
