Joan of Arc

The infamous Joan of Arc was born in Domremy, France. Her original name was Jeanne d'Arc, however it was changed to the english version, Joan. Joan of Arc was born in Domremy, in about 1412. Part of the reason she became so famous, was because she was born smack-dab in the middle of a period called to “hundred years war”. This was a war between France, and England. This war was essential to her rise to fame. Joan was the daughter of a poor couple; Jacques d'Arc and his wife isabelle. Joan learned to be a seamstress and take care of animals.

At the age of about 13, Joan began to have mystical visions from God, that told her to seek out Charles the 7th, and help him save france from the english.

Joan proceeded to find Charles, and told him that she could save France. At first she was not believed, but was eventually given control of soldiers, and defeated the french at Orleans. This is how she gain the nickname “The maiden of Orleans”. Later on, Joan d’arc helped Charles 7 get crowned at Reims. A few months later, Charles ordered her to confront the Burgundians. During the battle, Joan was thrown off her horse, captured, and Burned at the stake by the English. Charles started an investigation into the charges, She was named a martyr, and is now a patron saint of

france.
It's impossible to know exactly what would happen if Joan haddn’t existed but somethings are certain. France would now be england, and America would possibly have lost the American revolution, because of the french aid. Joan would no longer be a the patron saint of France, and many books, movies and videogames would never have been created, because they were based off of her life.
