After a successful defense, the victors followed this effort with an offensive victory at the Battle of Jargeau [zhar-zhoh]. This effort was slowed down after its leader Thomas Montacute, Earl of Salisbury, was wounded and then died. He was replaced by William de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk, and Lord John Talbot, who eventually abandoned the effort. If it had been successful, it would have given John Plantagenet a chance to rule France, but this reversed the trend which included the Battle of Agincourt fourteen years earlier. The coronation of Charles the Seventh took place soon afterwards. Name this siege by the Loire [lwahr] River that was stopped in 1429 by forces under Joan of Arc.
