Joan was a Christian who loved God and believed in Jesus. She practiced the Catholic faith which, at the time she lived, was the only Christian church.

Jeanne d'Arc [1] (born in Lorraine, France, January 6, 1412 - died in Rouen, Normandy, France, May 30, 1431 at age 19 years) [2], (in English: Joan of Arc) is a country hero France and saint (saint) in the Catholic religion. In France she was called La Pucelle, which means "the virgin" or "the virgin". He claimed to have an epiphany, which he believed came from God, and use it to evoke the spirit of the troops of Charles VII, to reclaim their former territory controlled by Britain and the Burgundians during the Hundred Years War.

France at the time had a provisional government and was in no position to make any honorary awards. She did assist Prince- later King Charles Vii at his coronation in Rheims- following the battle there- no the battle was in a field, not in the church-that was off limits even in the Dark Ages!- surely this was an honor- as a Noblewoman, she may have been Baroness ( lowest grade- like, say Lieutenant in the Army) of Rheims.. but we are not sure.

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.

I suppose it's about the fact that the winners write the history books. I'm not altogether certain of what crimes Joan was accused of, but the idea of a defence councel & a free trial are not what medieaval law was concerned with. It is, as one might say, another example of one mans terrorist being another mans freedom fighter. As for the idea of fairness that is a concept in law which is very difficult, even now, to decide. The guilt, or otherwise, of Joan of Arc, will depend on a particular point of view: the same might be argued with the regicide of King Charles I of Britain. I am sure there are other cases. Putting someone to death, not least a young woman, by burning them to death in the town square sends out a very obvious message of intolerance & power over the rebellious population. Quite what anyone might do to deserve such a terrible fate....... but of course this was how justice operated and was seen to be in those times, and stayed much the same for centuries.

Joan was held captive from her capture in May of 1430 until she was burned at the stake in May of 1430, - about 12 months.

Joan Of Arc France celebrates a civic holiday in honor of Joan of Arc on the second Sunday of every May.

Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Catherine of Alexandria and Saint Margaret of Antioch.

She identified them as Sts. Michael the Archangel, St. Catherine of Alexandria, & St. Margaret of Antioch.

no. Most people who you will see portraits of were rich. Joan of Arc was from a very poor family. no. Most people who you will see portraits of were rich. Joan of Arc was from a very poor family.

Joan was of the Medieval period. The Renaiisance ( rebirth) did not set in until approximately the time of Columbus, almost a century after Joan. The European discovery of America brought society into high gear, and OUT of the Dark ages.

No, Joan did not have the stigmata.

King Charles Vii (the seventh) of France. It is intersting to note that France had Two Queens, one a Queen Mother at the time of Joan of Arc. There WA sonly one regnant King, however, and that is Charles Vii. the memory jogger is that the word Charles itself has seven letters! There is some evidence that Joan named her Horse in his HOnor, which He may not of approved, of she used the diminutive (Charlie) Chalrie was a Black steed. Various types of Horse Armor were used in this period as well as decorative banner/blankets with the French Blue color.

Joan led the French army from April of 1429 until May of 1430 - about 13 months.

King Charles Vii was her political and military superior, if that is what you are getting at. These were flesh and blood soldiers, not spiritual troopers! It is easy to remember Charles Vii ( the seventh)- as there are seven letters in the word- Charles. Charles later turned on the Maid of Orleans- for reasons never quite made clear.

her childhood was not the best as some of ours are now when she was three years old her dad used to beat and rape her every night!But by the time she was 12 she stared to hear the voices of St.Michael,St.Catherine,and St.Margret,and believing that they had been sent from god telling her that it was her divine mission to free her country from the English and help the dauphin gain the French throne.

France, basically. She defeated the English in battle, and in dying damaged their moral justification for remaining in France; she took the Dauphin to Reims and crowned him King of France; and she introduced the concept of the Nation which justified 'booting the English out of France'. This in the end ensured French vistory in the HUndred Years' War and produced a land mass united under a single King.

St. Joan of Arc lived in the early 15th century, she was burned at the stake on 30 May 1431. Our Blessed Lord had no blood descendants, so Joan of Arc was a daughter and sister of the Lord as is every other female Christian.

The argument is untenable, as Antigone is a suicidal female fictional character in a Greek Tragedy and Joan of Arc is the patron saint of France and a national defender of all in the armed services, etc it is like comparing ( horrible analogy) Cleopatra with Mata Hari, it just does not wash.

Rheims, France, the Battle of Rheims ensued- Jeanne was a witness with the newly re-crowned King Charles VII , there is all sorts of historical art on this coronation scene at the Rheims Cathedral. this was l429- Once a Knight is enough!

During the 100 Years' War, Joan of Arc was a huge morale booster for the French troops. With the French on the verge of falling to the English, she traveled with the French soldiers, giving them something to fight for in a sense. She did not actually fight, however.

Joan's sister (Catherine) is believed to have died in childbirth. Her death must have been after mid-1429 because there's a quote from Joan (related by an eyewitness) dated from about August 1429 mentioning a desire to return home and see her sister again.

The film "The Messenger" invented a purely fictitious English attack on Joan's village during which Catherine is killed and then posthumously raped by an English soldier when Joan was a young child. This never happened. The only two attacks on Joan's village were the following: a minor assault in 1425 (by a Burgundian army led by Henri d'Orly) during which some livestock were stolen and then later returned; and a more serious attack in July of 1428 (by another Burgundian army led by Antoine de Vergy) during which the crops were burned and some of the buildings were damaged. There was no loss of life since the villagers had fled to the nearby city of Neufchatel before the troops arrived. Joan's family and some of the other villagers spent that time at an inn run by a widow nicknamed "la Rousse". Catherine was not killed during that attack, the army which launched the attack was not English, nor did the incident occur during Joan's childhood - she would have been around sixteen in 1428.

After her charred body was pulled from the ashes, it was burned two additional times. They then tossed the remaining ashes rather unceremoniously into the Seine river- so no relics survived.

No, she he came from a family of substantial means.

Pro-English Bishop of Beauvais, Pierre Cauchon, ordered her to be burned at the stake as a heretic.
