Joan Of Arc

Joan of Arc was a French heroine who led the French army to several victories during the Hundred Years' War, including the siege of Orléans and the coronation of Charles VII. She was born in 1412 and claimed to be acting under divine guidance, leading to her recognition as a savior of France. After her capture by the English, she was put on trial and burned at the stake in 1431 for heresy, but was later declared innocent by a papal court in 1456. She was canonized as a saint in 1920 and is now revered as a national symbol of France.learn more on wikipedia
