Yes, there are several poems written about Joan of Arc, including works by famous poets like Christine de Pizan, Vita Sackville-West, and Leonard Cohen. These poems often celebrate her courage, faith, and historical significance as a female military leader during the Hundred Years' War in France.
Joan of Arc is not typically seen as a peacemaker, but rather as a military leader during the Hundred Years' War. She played a significant role in the French victory at Orleans and in the crowning of Charles VII as King of France. Her actions were driven by her belief in divine guidance and her desire to restore unity to France, rather than a focus on achieving peace through diplomatic means.
Orléans during the Hundred Years' War. She played a critical role in lifting the siege and was instrumental in boosting French morale. Her military leadership and her conviction that she had been chosen by God to help save France made her a symbol of French resistance.

Many Chateaus (Castles) had no connection with Joan of Arc. They include but are not limited to:
Joan of Arc only had one full sibling, a brother named Pierre. She did not have a sister.
The inclusion of Jesus and Mary on Joan of Arc's banner was likely a reflection of her deep religious faith and an attempt to inspire her troops by associating their cause with divine figures. Jesus and Mary were important figures in Christian theology, and Joan sought their protection and guidance during her military campaign. It was also a way for her to express her personal devotion and belief in her divine mission.
Joan of Arc was excommunicated because she refused to submit to the authority of the Church during her trial. The Church accused her of heresy and witchcraft, and when she refused to recant her claims of divine inspiration, they saw her as a threat and excommunicated her. However, her excommunication was later revoked posthumously.

It is difficult to say if Joan of Arc could have done anything differently to avoid execution. Her fate was largely dictated by political and religious forces that were beyond her control. She could have recanted her claims and avoided death, but that would have compromised her convictions and beliefs. Ultimately, her courage and steadfastness in the face of adversity are what made her a celebrated figure in history.
It is recorded in one of the arguably mythical (Transcripts) of her trials, she did not deny being what amounted to be a Female Knight, but was of Officer status, and admitted she had never personally taken a human life- but of course commanded actions in battles that did just that.

I can find no reference to any education Joan may have received. However, she probably received minimal education, if that. At that time in history, education for girls was not considered a priority as they were expected to marry, raise children and care for the household.

Joan of Arc (In French, Jeanne d'Arc) (1412 to 30 May 1431) is a national heroine of France and a saint of the Roman Catholic Church. She believed she had visions from God that told her to recover her homeland from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War.and that she also will never be married and that she will be put to death. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent her to the siege at Orleans as part of a relief mission. Initially treated as a figurehead by veteran commanders, she gained prominence when she lifted the siege in only nine days. Several more swift victories led to Charles VII's coronation at Rheims, which settled the disputed succession to the throne.
The renewed French confidence outlasted her own brief career. Court intrigues slowed further offensive action. She was wounded during an unsuccessful attempt to recover Paris and fell prisoner at a battle outside Compiegne the following spring. A politically motivated trial convicted her of heresy. The English regent John, duke of Bedford had her burnt at the stake in Rouen. She had been the heroine of her country at the age of seventeen. She died at just nineteen. Some twenty-four years later Pope Callixtus toast III reopened the case and a new finding overturned the original conviction. Her piety to the end impressed the retrial court. Pope Benedict XV canonized her on 16 May 1920.
Joan of Arc has remained an important figure in the collective imagination of Western culture. From Napoleon to the present, French politicians of all leanings have invoked her memory. Major writers and composers who created works about her include Shakespeare, Voltaire, Schiller, Verdi, Tchaikovsky, Twain, Shaw, and Brecht. Depictions of her continue in film, television, and song.
At the time Joan lived, the British were in control of France. She was considered a heroine by most of the French people but the British and British sympathizers considered her a villain and heretic because she was fighting to drive the British out of France.

Joan of Arc had several conflicts in her life. Namely, she had the major conflict between what society expected of her in terms of her clothing and behavior, and what she believed God was telling her to do.
Joan of Arc experienced a number of unusual events that made her life historically important. Specifically, she was a teenage girl who lead armies into battle and won. Furthermore, Joan of Arc credited her victories to angels and saints who she claimed were guiding her.
The Parisian-French generally liked Joan of Arc. There were some people who opposed her on the grounds that she was either (1) young and/or (2) a woman, but she was overwhelmingly loved, especially after her success at the Battle of Orleans. However, the English and the Burgundians hated her because she was able to revive the flailing Parisian-French war effort in the Hundred Years War.
