Description
Joan of Arc, also called the ‘Maid of Orleans’, was a young female that fought for the French army. She said she received visions of the Archangel Michael, Saint Margaret and Saint Catherine instructing her to support Charles VII and recover France from English domination late in the Hundred Years’ War. When she was eventually captured by the English, she was burned at the stake at the young age of 19. She was later pronounced innocent and declared a martyr. She was canonized in 1920 and is one of the patron saints of France.
