Who Is Responsible For Joan Of Arc's Victory

Joan of Arc was a peasant girl who lived in France during the 1400s. When she was thirteen she began to hear voices inside her head telling her that she would save France some day. These voices spoke to Joan so she decided to enlist in the army with no battle experience whatsoever. The King of France said no and all the generals rejected her because she was a woman and had no experience dealing with war. Joan was still determined and decided to chop off all her hair, dress like a man, and try once again. This time, she got accepted into the French Army and led them to victory every time. In time, she became the commander and even made up the plan of attack for many battles. She became famous for winning so many battles and almost everyone in France knew who she was. All these challenges she faced and overcame made her discover herself and happiness. Joan of Arc was a determined young lady who had many challenges but due to these challenges she found who she was, a leader,

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.

At a young age, she started to see visions of angels insisting her to lead the French troops to victory. One her visions instructed her to meet with the Dauphin to give her command of the army, in which she persuaded him and got control. According to Joan of Arc, at the age 17, Charles gave her armor and a horse to lead the army to Orléans. The battle lasted a couple of days in which the French troops took control and lifted the siege at Orléans. Some would say her success from the battle was her skill in placing artillery. After her victory, Dauphin was escorted to the city of Reims, a city where kings were crowned. He was crowned as the king of France; however, Joan was not able to see his victory. She was captured by the Burgundians who then turned her over to the English allies. She was placed on trial for heresy and witchcraft. Joan was tortured until she confessed, but she insisted that her voices came from God. She then was burned at the stake. Her people honored her and was later declared a saint of the Catholic

Did Joan of Arc receive messages from God to save France, or was she a schizophrenic that just wanted to gain followers and power? Although she expelled France’s enemies, like she said she would, later in her life she admitted to lying about hearing voices from God which ended up getting her killed. Joan of Arc accomplished various acts of bravery from: dressing like a man to get passed enemy lines, to defeating the Anglo-Burgundians, to confessing that she had never heard voices in the first place. She became one of the most notable crusaders during the Hundred Years’ War. Through her vigilance of the Journey to Orleans, as well as her downfall due to being named a witch, then ultimately becoming the Patron Saint of France.

Joan of Arc was a young French girl who was poor and illiterate; she had a vision from God which instructed her to lead the French military to victory in war against the English. After getting permission to lead the French troops, Joan of Arc dressed as a boy, in full armor went into battle. She led her troops into battle at Saint Jean le Blanc, where there was a fortress; they were able to take control of the fortress, Joan was shot in the neck by an arrow, but returned to fight.

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.

Joan of Arc was born in XXXX in the French town of Domrémy. Her family was well-off farmers. From a young age, Joan was a devout Christian. At the age of 13, Joan reported she received her divine mission where she saw a bright light and heard the voice of God commanding her she would lift the siege of Orleans and she must go to Robert de Baudricourt for an escort. She claimed to be visited by Saint Michael, Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret, who gave her advice on how to proceed in her divine mission. Around the time of her birth, France was in despair. Before Joan of Arc’s campaign, the French had lost several major battles to the English including the annihilation of the French army at Agincourt with a loss of 10,000 French soldiers. France had also been devastated by the Black plague from 1348 to 1349 resulting in the halt of the war for nearly a decade and a significantly reduced army. After multiple losses, morale was low and

Medieval knights are known for being strong, brave, and faithful. However, a well-known warrior in the Hundred Years’ War also shares these attributes. What makes her different is that she was a French peasant girl. At the age of 13, Joan of Arc heard voices from God telling her to save France. In the midst of the Hundred Years’ War, a conflict between England and France for the French throne, Joan was told to drive the English out of France, and see that Charles VII receive the crown. As a devout Catholic, Joan was going to make sure this happened. Joan’s courage and determination let her accomplish her task. Even in her darkest times, she stayed strong and faithful. She inspires people to this day, and left a legacy. Even though she was burned at the stake after being accused of witchcraft, she is remembered as a saint and a hero. Joan of Arc’s many achievements in battle and her legacy in French history lived on for her to become a saint centuries later.
