Joan of Arc had extreme national pride in her country as most of her efforts involved keeping her country away from British rule. She was also a devout Catholic who heeded what she believed was a call from God to save her country.

∙ 13y agoHer name is not "Ark". She was Jeanne d'Arc, and she was burned by the Church as a relapsed heretic in 1431. Therefore, in the official view, she was not holy at all. She became, however, a symbol of French patriotism. By 1920, the Roman Catholic Church had had time to reconsider her biography, and it canonized her as a saint.
Incidentally, she was in constant touch with Saints Michael, Catherine, and Margaret, who appeared to her in auditory and sometimes visual form and gave her all her instructions, except for the few ideas that did not work out and which she attributed to herself.
Joan told a bishop that she received a revelation from God that it was up to her to fight the British and drive them out of France and restore the French monarchy. Unfortunately, the bishop sympathized with the British and accused Joan of being a heretic and ordered her to be burned at the stake. About 50 years later the Church held another trial for Joan and found her innocent of all charges. Unfortunately, it was too late for Joan.
