Joan of Arc

Her birthplace is now a museum

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 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.
