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 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.
