Joan of Arc was born in 1412 in France. As a child, he worked with his father in agriculture and family livestock farming. She was catechized by the Catholic Church.
Due to faith, I swore I had received a visit from the archangel Saint Michael, Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret. The group would have given him a mission: to expel the English who, at that time, occupied the French city of Orléans. Another objective passed on by God's messengers was to ordain Charles VII as sovereign of France.
Joan of Arc – War Leader
In 1337, the English king Edward III arrived in France with around 20 thousand men. The fight between France and England began the Hundred Years' War.
After a fight over the succession of power in the monarchy, Henry V is chosen as king of France. However, Joan of Arc's mission was to save France and crown King Charles VII.
Joana, just seventeen years old, manages to get close to Carlos VII, who, to demonstrate trust and support, decrees her the position of war chief. Joana and her troops manage to free the city of Orléans from the English. Excited, she also attacks the English living in Reims.
Battles of Joan
After victories in battles, Charles VII gains power and ends up being legitimized as king of France. The objective now was to retake the other half of French territory that was still in English hands.
Joan's military activities continue in 1430. The target is the city of Compiègne.
However, she is ambushed and ends up detained in May of that same year.
She was handed over to the Holy Inquisition, the most fearful and powerful court of the Church in France. In the process, she was accused of being a heretic and a witch.
Her sentence was to be burned alive on May 30, 1431. Joan of Arc is a milestone in the history of France and the liberation of women. She bears the title of Patron Saint of France.
