Her family consisted of peasants, including her mother, Isabelle Romee, father, Jacques d'Arc, one of the leaders of the village for collecting taxes and being the head of the town’s watch, her sister, Catherine, and three other brothers. The family lived in a small farmhouse near the village’s church, where Joan would tend the animals.

There are not many of them, and in medieval Europe there was only one loan of Arc, who was she? And how did it happen that a young girl who never learned to read and write became a general? At that time there were many wars between England and France to decide who should rule France. In i428 the English had almost won and there seemed to be no hope for the French. Then something strange happened. A 17-year-old girl came to the French King Charles VII and told him that she had been sent by God to drive the English out of France and to see him crowned. The girl was loan of Arc Joan of Arc is one of the most romantic figures

Joan of Arc -Joan of Arc was a peasant girl living in Medieval France. She believed that God had chosen her to lead France to victory against England because she had visions, she was soon captured by Anglo Burgundian forces and tried for witchcraft and heresy and burned at the stake.
The Holy Roman Emperor’s views were more along the lines of so long as they were virtuous as proficient in the female arts such as music, tapestry work and watercolors, they would know enough to make accomplished wives (8). That did change, though, when Marie became of age and was a prospect for marriage to Louis XVI, the future King of France. In order to make Marie more interesting, Marie Theresa decided to round out her education. A tutor was brought in and Marie Antoinette began learning different languages that would make her more appealing for marriage. This was a strategic plan by her parents and the author made sure to write about the way her education changed.
In the beginning in Domremy, France January 6, 1412, Joan d’Arc was born into a poor family in which her father, Jacques, and her mother, Isabelle, raised on a farm. Joan grew up living with her father, mother, and brother. Growing up Joan learned to help with things on the farm and sewing, taught by her father. Joan also went to Church and was very religious because of her mother. It’s been told that Joan didn’t learn to read or write and
About six hundred years ago in Europe, the French and the English were fighting for the French throne. Charles VII, the dauphin, was fighting against Henry VI, the King of England (Clin, 3). This war, later known as the Hundred Years’ War, took place during the 15th century. Joan of Arc, a peasant girl from Domrémy, joined the side of the dauphin after voices that she claimed came from saints, instructed her to help (Schmalz). Her influence brought about the end of the siege on Orléans and the coronation of King Charles. Joan was able to rally the French forces and turn the momentum of the entire war around (Clin, 3). Despite being a woman in a time when females were subjugate to males, Joan of Arc was the most influential warrior in the Hundred Years’ War because her leading role in the break of the siege on Orléans, the crowning of the king and her symbolic significance for France were major turning points in the war.
“Not, perhaps, the patroness of France; rather, the patroness of vivid life, prized not for military victories but for the gift of passionate action taken against ridiculous odds, for the grace of holding nothing back.” (Gordon 173). This quote is referring to Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc was very religious; known for seeing visions and voices from God telling her to go deep into France and help with the war, which she did. At the age of eighteen Joan of Arc led French armies through a series of battles and each of these battles resulted in a victory. Many people, especially men, were threatened by her because of the fact that she was able to do things like leading armies when she was both a girl and a teenager and because she was able to see visions
The Hundred Years’ War (1337-1453) consisted of numerous small raids between local armies in which the French suffered many losses. Two of these losses included the battles at Crecy and Poitiers. However, over time, the French rebounded after the victory at the battle in Orleans in 1429, which was led by 17-year old French peasant, Joan of Arc. Before going into battle, Joan sent a letter to the English demanding that they leave France. Joan’s letter to the king of England in 1429 and her role in the battle at Orleans played a symbolic role and affected the French’s success in the Hundred Years’ War by increasing French spirits and showing the weakness of the English.
Joan lived during a turbulent time in French history. The French and English states had been at war since 1337 over disputed territories in France and who could inherit the French throne. The English claimed that their king could inherit the French throne through shared royal bloodlines and also inherit vast territories in present-day southwestern France. By the time of Joan’s birth, the English had secured almost all of France and were poised to capture the French crown. The French heir to the throne, the Dauphin, was forced into hiding and Paris was under English control. It was under these dire circumstances that Joan emerged.
Joan of Arc was born in a small village that that laid between both occupied French and Burgundians (who were loyal to the English) territories called Domremie in 1412. Her parents were very devoutly religious who were farmers and her father also performed tax collecting and headed the local watch for protection of the village. Joan was very young and started hearing voices calling for her to assist the French army and the Dauphin (the uncrowned king of France), Charles VII. Those voices were said to be of St. Michael, St Catherine, and St. Margaret. In 1428 Joan of Arc traveled to Vaucouleurs and asked for permission to talk with the Dauphin and was turned away. One year later she returned and was finally heard.
She learns geography, history, art and French fluently. She is taught how to be a teacher, and how to be employed, which was not typical for a woman of her time.
The fifteenth century was a gruesome era in world history. Church and state were not separated which caused many problems because the Church officials were often corrupt. The story of Joan of Arc, portrayed by George Bernard Shaw, impeccably reflects the Church of the 1400’s. Joan, a French native, fought for her country and won many battles against England. But Joan’s imminent demise came knocking at her door when she was captured by the English. She was charged with heresy because the armor she wore was deemed for men only but she justified her actions by stating that God told her to do it. Today, Joan of Arc would be diagnosed schizophrenic because of the voices in her head but she would still be respected for serving in the military. But in the fifteenth century, she was labeled as nothing more than a deviant. She was tried and the Inquisitor characterized her as a beast that will harm society. Through his sophistic reasoning, loaded diction, and appeals to pathos and ethos, the Inquisitor coaxed the court into believing Joan was a threat to society and she had to pay the ultimate price.
Joan was born in a place you would not expect a hero to be born. She was born in the small village of Domremy to a shepherd named Jacque D’ Arc. She grew up with no education and her job was a shepherdess. This one detail proves even more that Joan was the best heroine ever. Not only was she a girl, but she was a poor girl in a poor place. This made it difficult for Joan to win respect with many of the nobleman of France and commanders in the army later in her life. (Williams, Pg.12 and 13) “Joan had to increase her efforts because she appeared on the stage of history at a time when men wrote the script and played the leading roles.” (Struchen, Pg.17)
Maria Agnesi was born in a time and place when the “best education for a woman was considered to be no education” (Perl 53). In this time, education for women, even the wealthy, was in a poor state and most
