Answer 3

Joan of Arc had tremendous courage, aided by the belief that she was doing the

will of God. She was only 5 feet, two inches tall, but she was very strong and was

an expert horseman. She was a great source of inspiration and leadership

to the soldiers in the French army, whom she would often exhort to boldly face the

English troops and not to be afraid. Her soldiers followed her with confidence and

trust and enabled them to defeat the English in several key battles: the Raising of

the Siege of Orleans and the Battle of Patay, where over 2 thousand English

soldiers were killed in an open field battle. Later she conducted the dauphin,

the French crown prince, to Rheims to be coronated as King Charles VII. These

events in 1429 eventually led to the end of The Hundred Years War, driving the

English forces from France.
