La France pendant la guerre de Cent Ans. Les Français risquent de perdre la guerre depuis 92 ans contre l'Angleterre et des ennemis intérieurs. Seule la ville d'Orléans résiste bien encore ; c'est ici que se trouve le roi de France Charles VII. Pour discuter de conditions de paix acceptables, le roi envoie son émissaire Maillezais dans le camp ennemi, chez John Talbot et son allié Philippe III de Bourgogne. Mais Talbot refuse le compromis ; il préfère se préparer à la bataille finale. Son mépris est tel que, devant Maillezais, il jette les armes de sa famille d'origine française.
