Joan of Arc, also referred to as Jeanne d'Arc, was a French heroine and saint that played a significant role in the A century' War between England and France. She was born on January 6, 1412, in Domrémy, a small town in northeastern France, to Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle Romée.

At the age of 13, Joan began experiencing visions and hearing voices, which she thought were sent to her by God. These visions urged her to help the Dauphin of France, Charles VII, fight versus the English and restore France to its rightful ruler.

In 1429, at the age of 17, Joan took a trip to the Dauphin's court at Chinon and convinced him of her magnificent goal. She was provided a coat of mail as well as a white banner, and she led the French army to a number of triumphes against the English, including the lifting of the siege of Orléans. Her leadership as well as bravery made her the nickname "The Maid of Orléans".

In spite of her successes, Joan was captured by the English in 1430 and also was pursued heresy and witchcraft. She was condemned and also was melted at the stake in Rouen on May 30, 1431, at the age of 19. She was later on canonized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church in 1920.
