Oh, I don't know. Charles isn't a hero like Dunois, but he is a sensible king, and undoubtedly France is better of with him than it would be under English rule during the full-fledged York and Lancaster showdown. He might have failed Joan as a friend but he did not fail France, which I think is more important to her.
Ida and the others: yes. The Code Napoleon had a lot to be improved left, but it was way better than the laws used to be for women (and men) under the Ancient Regime.
