Answer 1

The question is asking us to choose who did Joan of Arc wish to crown as King of France at Reims. Joan of Arc ( 1412 - 1431 ) was a heroine of France during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years` War. She received visions of the Archangel Michael and other saints instructing her to support Charles VII and to free France from English domination. The political position of Charles VII improved with the emergence of Joan of Arc and he became King of France at Reims in 1422. Answer: B ) Charles VII.

Answer 2

Joan decided that Charles the VII should be crowned at Rheims, which was held by the English. Therefore, French troops stormed through the English-held territory. In 1429, Charles was crowned in an extremely simple ceremony. With the crowning of a new French king, the national spirit of the people arose.
