While the French were somewhat divided at the time between Burgundians (English Allies) and the French. She led the French Forces during several key battels including Orleans and Patay, eventually turning the tide of the past near century of war to finally be in France's favor. To this day she is a French National Heroine, and one of the most revered Saints. In short the French like Joan of Arc.
Inspiring, Amazing, and strong.
All of France, save for Burgundy at the time of Joan of Arc's death saw her as a hero, chosen by God to lead the French to Victory. The British saw her as the single greatest threat to their success. As such with the Burgundians they were able to arrest her and convict her of witchcraft and burn her at the stake.
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.
Joan's accomplishments all occurred from April of 1429 and May of 1430 - a period of about 13 months
Joan of Arc helped Charles VII get crowned king, and restored the French monarchy. Her victories against the English during the Hundred Years War and subsequent execution helped galvanize the French people into fighting off the British, and remain a free country. She was later canonized as a saint, and is therefore a figure that people can turn and pray to in times of need. She is the patron saint of France, and a national icon. French politicians, including Napoleon, have all invoked her memory to give themselves legitimacy and to galvanize the French people. She has been a character in numerous literary works, including Shakespeare's Henry VI, Voltaire's La Pucelle d'Orleans, and Mark Twain's Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc. In some circles she is a feminist icon, because she was a woman who saved a country. Joan of Arc had many different impacts on the world.

They"re all over the place- it is Like Washington or Lincoln to the French as a subject for statuary. also as she is the Patron saint of France, they are all over the churches. Once a Knight not enough.

Joan of Arc was a teenage girl (it is said she was just 14 whe she led the french to revolution). She was the daughter of a peasant farmer and lived and worked on her farthers farm all her life. In her visions she believed god was speaking to her. He told her that she would lead the french to victory, and over the period of her campaigns, he told her how to do it. The rest is history.

In Orleans, France, there is a month long celebration including a huge parade. Joan liberated Orleans may 8th, 1429. So the parade and celebration is around that date. Other cities in France have parades and less elaborate ways to celebrate Joan of Arc. Almost all towns, small and large have statues of Joan of Arc. The previous answer that French people go to church is wrong.
Joan of Arc is a heroin because she had stood up for everything she believed in. in doing so she as able to change the world. Joan's morals and preachings have given equal rights to all. she helped unite all of France and defeat England.
They were all soldiers of the French army under the monarch - Prince (Dauphin) Charles, leter to be crowned King Charles VII.
Joan of Arc was Roman Catholic. She is now venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church.Roman Catholic. all of France was Catholic at the time ( l429-3l)
The Church, no, It was an ethnic French bishop who supported the British who condemned Joan to death for heresy, not the Church. When an investigation was completed 25 years after Joan's death, Joan was found to have been innocent of all charges but the bishop was found to have been guilty of heresy instead.
