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.

Who is the french woman who led the french army in Hundred Years War?

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.

What was the impact of Joan of Arc on the world?

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.
