Joan Of Arc As A Saint

Joan of Arc was just a girl until she put on the helmet and hoisted the sword that changed the course of her life. Joan was a soldier for France during the Hundred Years War. Not only was she a woman on the battlefield, but she led an army at the age of 16. Both her effort in the battles and her trial majorly changed the outcome of the war. Joan of Arc changed society and continues to influence history today through her poor upbringing and dedicated early life, her heroics and bravery in battle, her courage and defiance during her trial, and her role and influence as a Catholic saint.

History abounds with a plethora of people and events that have shaped the course of the world. Traditionally, these people have been adult males. Occasionally, however, these historical icons are females and during rare moments are children. One of these unfathomably cases is the young french women named Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc, the legendary saint that was burned at the stake, was a young farm girl who joined the Hundred Year War and died as a hero for her believes.

Firstly, Joan (pronounced Jeanne in French), has visions as a child. Several years later, she arrives in Chinon, France, to speak with Charles, the Dauphin, about driving out the English. Joan then leads an attack and defeats the English at their stronghold “Tourelles”. The second day, Joan leads another attack. As both sides regroup, she tells the English to leave, which, surprisingly, they do. The Burgundians then take her prisoner and charge her with the crime of heresy. Her conscience then makes here question whether or not her visions were actually from God. Convinced, the Burgundians then charge her of witchcraft, and she is burned at the stake.

Joan’s inspiration struck. The people of Joan’s village had already fled,but “Led by the voices of her saints, Joan traveled in May 1428 from Domrémy to Vaucouleurs, the nearest stronghold still loyal to the Dauphin, where she asked the captain of the garrison, Robert de Baudricourt, for permission to join the Dauphin” (britannica.com). But gaining respect in a male dominate society was going to be hard to for Joan.

Joan of Arc is credited with leading the French army to victory over England during the 100 years war, which actually lasted around 116 years. She believed she was a messenger of god and was born to bring an end to the war. With permission from the king, Joan of Arc, lacking military and tactical training, led the french army against the English in the city of Orléans. Joan met a tragic end when she was captured by the Anglo-Burgundian and tried as a witch. She was called guilty as a witch and a heretic which led to her untimely demise being burned at the stake at age 19.

This girl soldier has struck fascination in the hearts of Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Joan of Arc was born on January 6, 1412 in the little village of Domremy, in France. Her parents owned about 50 acres of land and her father was a town official. She lived a normal holy life until one day when she was 13 St's Catherine of Sienna, Margret, and Michael, who told her to drive out the English from France and to bring Dauphin to Reims for his coronation. Three years later when she was 16 she asked a relative to take her to Vancoleurs where she asked the garrison commander Robert de Baudricourt for an armed escort to bring her to the French Royal Court at Chinon. At first, he thought she was joking and rejected her request, but at their second meeting where she made a prediction about the outcome of the next battle before the messengers arrived to report it her request was granted. She traveled to Chinon dressed as a male soldier which would later lead to charges of "cross-dressing." At Chinon she was accepted as a soldier and began her campaign to liberate France and bring the true king to the throne. “With the favor of her king supporting her, Joan the Maid could now unfurl her banners” (Carrol 519). Joan won many impressive victories many where the French army was at a large disadvantage, but her faith in God remained strong throughout all hardships even in

For Joan of Arc, 1428 was the start of a new life and journey. In the May of that year, Joan makes her first trip to Vacouleurs to meet with Robert de Baudricourt asking him to send her to the king. He had initially rejected her but her strong willingness to pursue what she wanted led to her attracting a small group of followers who believedthat she truly was destined to save France according to a prophecy. Baudricort finally gave in to her and she set out to Chinon, the site of the prince’s fortress. With the help of Charles, she led an army to Orleans in March of 1429 wearing white armor on her white horse. Joan had led several French attacks and drove the Anglo-Burgundians from their fortess and forced them to leave and cross the Loire River.
