A medieval ring widely believed to be Joan of Arc’s last worldly possession is finally back in France, and will soon be unveiled to the public, after being purchased at an auction in England.
Le Puy du Fou, a history-themed amusement park in western France, paid close to €385,000 for the devotional jewel at an auction in London.
The UK’s TimeLine Auctions said numerous documents offered evidence that the ring belonged to the French national heroine, who gave it to English cardinal, Henry Beaufort before she was burned at the stake.
