Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc was a French heroine and Roman Catholic saint whose victories in the hundred years war paved the way for the crowning of Charles the seventeenth of France.

Joan was born to Jack Dark and Isabel Rami in Domremy in northeastern France on January the 6th,1412, living in a very unhappy time. Joan used to see her brothers, Peter and John, come home from battles with their noses bleeding, and with black eyes. She had never learned to read, or write, or mount a horse, yet she was so wise that many learned men could not puzzle her by questions. At around the age of 12, Joan is said to have had a vision of three saints who told to drive out the English who had invaded France after the Battle of Agincourt 1415 and bring the dough fan Charles the seventh back to Reims. At sixteen she attempted to obtain permission to visit the French Court but was denied. She then went on to make a prediction about a military outcome at a battle near Ollie on which was confirmed by a local garrison commander and when her prediction came true she was granted permission to visit the French Court. Joan impressed Charles the seventh while at court and she requested to be allowed to travel with the army to relieve the under siege early on. Joan instructed Charles the seventh that she had been sent by God to lead the army despite her being an illiterate farm girl the French army had suffered many devastating and humiliating defeats and Charles seemed to have exhausted all other rational options.

She arrived at the siege of Aliana in 1429 and began aiding the French army in a much more militarily aggressive campaign and she was granted Co-Commander of the French army, leading the army to several victories over the English. The victories lead to a truce with England and the doe fan was crowned fulfilling Joan’s prophecy.

The truce with England did not last long and the English attacked the city of companion, 1430. Joan was captured whilst attempting to defeat the English and was sold to the English government by the Duke of Burgundy. She was put on trial for heresy in 1431 and was found guilty and sentenced to death. She was burned at the stake in Rouen, France. Then her ashes were cast into the river sign. She was just 19.

She was retail posthumously in 1456 and found not guilty and was made a saint by Pope Benedict the 15th  in 1920.
