Joan of Arc is the only person you could possibly be referring to. She commanded the French Army because she had gained the confidence of the Dauphin (prince) and led a French force against the English at Orleans in May 1st thru the 8th, 1429. It was due to her natural leadership and inspiration that her soldiers defeated the English at Orleans and later at the open field battle of Patay that June 17th, where over 2000 English soldiers were killed and a famous English commander, Lord John Talbot, was captured.
Joan then conducted the Dauphin to Rheims in northern France, where he was crowned King Charles VII of France. Joan's military successes led eventually to the complete expulsion of the English from France by 1453, ending the Hundred Years' War.
Joan was executed in a mock trial conducted by the English, who feared and hated Joan for having defeated them in battle and thwarting their
attempts to conquer all of France. She was burnt at the stake on May 31, 1429,
but this verdict was later reversed by the "Nullification Trial" of 1450 thru 1456
called for by Charles VII and the pope. She was made a saint in 1920.
