Definitions:

(1) (Joan of Arc)
French peasant girl and military leader who claimed God sent her to help France against England in the Hundred Years’ War and who was burned at the stake at age 19 (1412-1431)

Joan of Arc said she heard divine voices telling her to support the French king and drive out the English. As a teenager, she persuaded leaders to let her accompany the army and helped inspire key victories, including lifting the siege of Orléans, which boosted French morale and helped the future King Charles VII.

She was later captured by allies of the English, handed over to an English-backed church court, tried for heresy and other charges, and burned at the stake when she was about 19. Years later, the Church officially declared her trial unfair and cleared her name. In 1920 she was recognized as a Catholic saint and is now a symbol of French courage and faith.
