Über Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc invites readers on a remarkable journey into the life of a legendary figure whose unwavering faith, bravery, and determination left an indelible mark on history. Joan of Arc, born in Domrémy, France, around 1412, emerged from humble beginnings to become a symbol of hope and resistance during one of the most tumultuous periods in French history-the Hundred Years' War. Driven by what she claimed to be divine guidance from archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine, Joan embarked on a mission to save her beloved France from English domination. At the tender age of seventeen, she donned armor, wielded her banner, and led French troops to victory at the siege of Orléans. Her presence and unwavering spirit ignited a sense of purpose in the demoralized French army, ultimately turning the tide of the war. Joan's journey continued as she stood by the side of Charles VII during his coronation in Reims, solidifying his claim to the French throne. Her heroism inspired the French, paving the way for their eventual triumph in the Hundred Years' War. However, Joan's path was not without hardship. Captured by the Burgundians and later handed over to the English, she faced accusations of heresy, leading to a trial that would ultimately result in her tragic execution by burning at the stake in 1431. This book delves into the complex life of this remarkable young woman, exploring her role as a military leader, her enduring legacy as a symbol of freedom, and her canonization as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church. Joan's story is one of courage, conviction, and the enduring power of faith in the face of adversity. This book is a captivating tribute to a true heroine whose spirit continues to inspire generations.
