Joan of Arc - The Maid of Orléans #history #militaryhistory #strategyandtactics

Joan of Arc, known as "The Maid of Orléans," was a peasant girl from Domrémy, France, who rose to national prominence as a fearless warrior and inspirational leader during the Hundred Years' War. Believing she was divinely guided by visions of saints, Joan persuaded Charles VII to allow her to lead his troops. Her extraordinary courage and military acumen galvanized the French forces, culminating in the liberation of Orléans in 1429. Captured by the English, she was tried for heresy and burned at the stake in 1431 at the age of 19. Joan's martyrdom and unwavering faith cemented her legacy as a symbol of French unity and resistance, leading to her canonization as a saint in 1920.
