Jeanne d'Arc, known as Joan of Arc in English, was a French peasant girl born around 1412 who became a national heroine and a symbol of French unity during the Hundred Years' War. Claiming to have received divine visions, she led French troops to several important victories against the English, notably the Siege of Orléans in 1429. Captured by the Burgundians, she was handed over to the English, tried for heresy, and burned at the stake in 1431. She was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church in 1920.
