The Saint Joan Of Arc

St. Joan of Arc was involved in the situation because the people of France did not want to become part of England. So, in 1428, when Orleans, a city of France, was being sieged (surrounded and unable to get out) by the English, St. Joan of Arc saved the city with her army.

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.

Joan of Arc was born in Domremy, France in 1412. She was born into a very poor family during the medieval age of France. Raised as a peasant girl, she was never taught to read or write, but had a passion for the Roman Catholic Church and its teachings. In this paper, I show how Joan embodied bravery, leadership and courage throughout her life. Also how she helped France believe they could win and how she changed the lives of many people around her.

What would you do if you were accused of being a witch and were burned at the stake because of your Catholic faith? Well, that is exactly what happened to Saint Joan of Arc and she did not denounce her faith, unlike what many people would do. She was born on January 6th, 1412, in the tiny village of Domremy. Saint Joan was canonized as a saint on May 16th, 1920, by Pope Benedict the 15th. She is the patron saint of France, martyrs, soldiers, and many more.

St. Joan of Arc is the patron of Soldiers and France, with her feast day being on May 30th. Her time was during the 100 years war which lasted over a century, But she was part of the Anglo-French conflict. At a young age she said that she heard the voices of St. Michael, St. Catherine, and St.Margaret. The Saints had told here to send the English out of french territory.At the age of 16 she was gaven permission to enter the French royal court, their she met the milita leader and after telling him a prediction about a future battle that ended up being true she was able to talk to King Charels Vii. After winning the king's trust she asked him if she could travel with the army which she was later granted. With her help, the French

Joan of Arc was a medieval french peasant girl. At around 13 she began hearing voices from god telling her to lead the French to victory in their long lasting war with the English and their allies the Burgundians. Joan had no military training but she managed to convince Charles of Valois to let her lead the french army to the city of Orleans, where she and the french army sustained a victory. After this Joan became very powerful. In a raid of Compiégne joan fell off her horse and was taken captive by the Burgundians. She was taken to the castle of Bouvreuil. Following this she was charged of many charges such as witchcraft, dressing like a man, and heresy.

Joan of Arc is a prominent figure in European history, however, most of the history surrounding the maid of Orleans "La Pucelle d'Orléans" (Lanhers and Vale, 2016), is generally focused on debunking her claims of being sent by God, and the possible reasons for her hearing voices. This essay will focus less on the legitimacy of her claims of being a prophet of God, and instead will focus on the effect they had, along with her abilities as a commander to achieving victory in the Loire campaign. It will focus on the importance of her first military victory, lifting the siege of Orleans before the start of the Loire campaign, and how its effect on the morale of

In 1429, nearing the end of the Hundred Years’ War between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of France; a sixteen year old Joan of Arc was directed by a revelation to make her way to the Dauphin’s court in Chinon and disclose to him the purpose of her divine mission. Joan professed that by the order of God—via the spirits of Saint Michael, Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret—she was to renew the French nation and lead Charles VII to claim his throne. After successfully completing her mission, she was captured in battle months later and turned over to the English. There, she would be charged and put on trial for Heresy, leading to her execution. What were the stated reasons that the Church tried and executed Joan of Arc for heresy? Although

The name of my saint is Saint Joan of Arc or in French, Jeanne d'Arc She also called herself Jehanne la Pucelle in French or Joan the Maid because she became the Maid of Orleans St.Joan of Arc was born in 1412 but no one knows the day or month she was born on but there is an alleged date of January 6 St.Joan of Arc lived in Doremy, France or Domrémy-la-Pucelle, France She lived in peasant family and her dad was tenant farmer St.Joan of Arc performed many miracles like ₁Sister Thérèse of Saint Augustine, who lived in Orleans, had been cured of leg ulcers, Sister Julie Gauthier, who lived in Faverolles, was cured of a cancerous ulcer of her left breast, Sister Marie Sagnier, who lived in Frages, was miraculously cured of cancer of the stomach ₁ They canonized her strictly for a political purpose A quote from Pope Pius X “ Joan of Arc has shone like a new star destined to be the glory not only of France but of the Universal Church as well”   There is no note if she had preached or did any conversions

She is the youngest war commander of all time (“Joan of Arc Speech”). She was a woman who did all that it took to save France and did it in just a year. She’s an inspiration to people then and now. Despite not being able to read or write, she inspired, accomplished, and led. She was a peasant girl only 13 years old when her life changed, a war heroine just 19 years old when she died, and a Saint to the Catholic Church forever. Who is she? She is Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc’s bold leadership skills affected not only the political matters of France, but also the Catholic Church.

Joan of Arc has several achievements. Her first accomplishment was with her confidence and moral leadership that raised the fighting spirit and determination in the French soldiers to defeat the English in the Battle of Orleans by having them retreat from their forts, such as St. Loup and the Tourelles, surrounding Orleans. It’s even more remarkable as for the past seven months before Joan arrived at the battlefield, the French and English were head to head on the siege of Orleans, with the French more likely to lose than the English, who had forts and their blockage and control of most gates and routes connecting Orleans to the rest of France. However, once Joan arrived at Orleans for three days, with her help, the French

Her name, Joan of Arc, burning at the stake surrounded by wooden bundles. At this moment of death it was May 30, 1431, tied to a pillar in Vieux-Marche in Rouen, Joan of Arc asked for a crucifix to be held in front of her when she burned. A peasant took pity on her and made a small cross. As she burned, witnesses felt a horrible injustice was put upon Joan of Arc, as she managed to take back France and became one of the greatest war generals France has ever seen. Praising Jesus three times before she died, several people also claim a white dove flew away just as she died. Although Joan of Arc was short-lived, her legacy is still talked about today; 602 years later. She was nineteen years old.

The saint I chose to write a biography on was Saint Joan of Arc or Sainte Jeanne d’Arc in French. She was a French saint who saved France from England and Burgundians during the Hundred Years War (insert citation). I chose her because she demonstrated many characteristics and her story is very unique. She lost her life at a very young age and was only canonized as a saint, hundreds of years after her death. She believed in God so much that it helped her achieve her destiny.

Saint Joan of Arc was born to a peasant family in Domremy, France. As a child, Joan did not receive a proper education. However, her mother, Isabelle, did make sure educate her daughter about the prayers she knew, which made Joan religious and spiritual. At the age of 13, she recalls hearing the voice of God for her help and guidance. However, these visions did not scare her or turn her away from her religion. Instead, it bonded the relationship she had with the Church even more. She often went to confession and Mass, keeping her visions as a secret from everyone she knew. Joan was known to be a devout Christian by many of her friends in the village due to her never being late to mass, praying during work, and confessing more than once a day.

Joan of Arc was a peasant living on a farm. All the locals loved her. She spent her days in fields, ploughing and guarding animals. For her occupation she worked as a military leader “Joan of Arc was an aggressive military commander who always opted for offense instead of defense. In thirteen known engagements, her troops were victorious nine times..”- a blog by Scott Manning. Joan of Arc is known for her story. When she was twelve years old she had a vision of Michael the Archangel. She was to lead the French in the battle with the English. Joan received her armour and horse from Charles at the age of seventeen. So Joan of Arc cut off all her hair dressed up to be boy and lead the attack in The Battle of Orleans. Joan was captured on 23 May 1430 by the Burgundian troops who sold her to the English. The English put her on trial and burned her at the stake. I believe that Joan’s legacy was left when she got reexamined and was proclaimed innocent. Later the Catholic Church declared her a saint. Joan of Arc’s saint day is May the 30th.
