If the French had immediately marched on Paris after the coronation at Reims rather than attempting negotiations with Phillip of Burgundy and allowing him to reinforce the city they may have been able to take it.

Also, the attack on Paris in OTL was a close run thing IIRC. If they had assaulted it again rather than retreating over the objections of Joan and the Duke of Alencon they may have been successful.

What next after the fall of Paris, a march on Rouen next Spring? Or would she leave on Crusade against the Hussites as she talked of doing?

How would this have effected her historical/cultural legacy? I imagine she would have been ennobled after the capture of Paris as she was after she took Saint-Pierre-le-Moûtier in OTL, perhaps with a higher title. Her capture and martyrdom would be butterflied away, although given her recklessness it may have happened in different circumstances. How far could she have risen? Was she destined to crash and burn?
