Historical Information
Étienne de Vignolles was a French military commander during the Hundred Years War. Since the very childhood the only thing he thought about was a war. He was brave, but had a bad manners and wasn't very educated. He joined dauphin Charles in 1418 and soon became famous by taking Coucy castle. When Joan of Arc became the commander of the army, Etienne became on of her most trusted allies. He died in 1442 after the injury he received under Montauban. He was also known for his famous pray: "God, I pray thee that thou wouldest do this day for La Hire as much as thou wouldest that La Hire should do for thee, if he was God, and thou wast La Hire !"
