# The royal fortress of Chinon is interpreted to the public as the 1429 reception site Date: 2000 ## The fact The royal fortress of Chinon is a public monument interpreted as the place of Joan’s 1429 reception by Charles VII. ## Context Heritage can flatten a council into a legend of voices. The catalog already refused visions as Facts. The fortress visit is still a knowledge object. [Joan of Arc](/people/joan-of-arc) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute. ## Evidence and sources The fortress site and the Centre des monuments nationaux independently present Chinon as a public historic monument. Official or archival record: Forteresse royale de Chinon (https://www.forteressechinon.fr/; Centre des monuments nationaux / Chinon). ## Significance Heritage-access path. High confidence that the site is publicly interpreted; low on visitor-welfare coefficients. A keep is not a procès edition. Gallica remains the text row. ## What is established and what is not Established: Chinon fortress as a public interpreted monument of the 1429 reception. Not established: that a ticket equals the Poitiers clearance. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. ## People - Joan of Arc: https://factrail.ai/people/joan-of-arc ## Drivers - Digital Learning Access: https://factrail.ai/drivers/edu-digital-learning-access ## Sources - https://www.monuments-nationaux.fr/ - https://www.forteressechinon.fr/ ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/joa-chinon-public
