Joan of Arc (historical figure related)

Joan of Arc was a French peasant girl born around 1412 who believed she received divine guidance to help France during the Hundred Years’ War. Claiming to have visions and voices, she convinced French leaders to let her lead armies against the English. Her leadership helped France win important battles and led to her crowning Charles VII as king. However, she was later captured, tried for heresy, and burned at the stake in 1431. Canonized as a saint in 1920, she remains a symbol of courage, faith, and national unity.
