• Joan of Arc was born in Domremy, in the
  province of Lorraine, France in 1412. Joan
  asserted that she heard voices of angels which
  told her to recover her homeland from English
  domination . The uncrowned King Charles VII sent
  her to the siege at Orléans as part of a relief
  mission. She gained prominence when she overcame
  the dismissive attitude of veteran commanders and
  lifted the siege in only nine days. Several more
  swift victories led to Charles VII's coronation
  at Reims and settled the disputed succession to
  the throne.The renewed French confidence
  outlasted her own brief career. She refused to
  leave the field when she was wounded during an
  attempt to recapture Paris. Hampered by court
  intrigues, she led only minor companies from then
  onward and fell prisoner at a skirmish near
  Compiègne the following spring. A trial
  convicted her of heresy. She was burnt at the
  stake in Rouen in 1431. She had been the heroine
  of her country at the age of 17 and died when
  only 19 years old. Joan of Arc was canonized as a
  saint in 1920.
