Joan of Arc

Joan was born on January 6, 1412, at Greux-Domremy, Lorraine, France, and died on May 30, 1431, at Rouen, France.

Retrial of Joan of Arc happened in 1456.

Joan of Arc had a profound impact on French armies during the Hundred Years' War by revitalizing their morale and inspiring them with her unwavering faith and leadership. Her presence at key battles, particularly the Siege of Orléans in 1429, helped turn the tide in favor of the French, leading to a series of victories that bolstered national pride. Additionally, her role in the coronation of Charles VII solidified his legitimacy as king, uniting the French forces under a common cause against the English. Joan's legacy continued to influence French military identity and nationalism long after her death.

To be "Burnt at the Stake" is to be tied to a piece of wood pounded in the ground (A "Stake") and to be lit on fire. Burning at the stake is is when someone is tied to a wooden stake and the stake is set on fire. You burn to death.

Joan of Arc is not typically classified as a humanist, as she lived during the early 15th century, before the full emergence of the Renaissance humanism movement. Humanism emphasizes the value of human reason, individualism, and classical learning, whereas Joan is primarily recognized for her religious fervor, military leadership, and divine visions. Her motivations were deeply rooted in her faith and a sense of divine mission rather than the secular and philosophical ideals associated with humanism. Thus, while she embodied strong individual agency, her context and objectives differ significantly from those of humanist thinkers.

Several women throughout history have taken on roles similar to Joan of Arc, leading armies or fighting for their nations. Notable examples include Boudica, the warrior queen of the Iceni tribe in ancient Britain, who led a revolt against Roman rule, and Elizabeth I of England, who rallied her country during the Spanish Armada. Additionally, women like Catherine de' Medici, who wielded significant political power in France, and Harriet Tubman, who led enslaved people to freedom, demonstrated remarkable leadership and courage in their respective contexts. Each of these figures, like Joan, played pivotal roles in shaping their nations' histories.

Joan of Arc did not go to school because in 15th Century Europe Peasent Women did not go to school.

I can find no reference to any education Joan may have received. However, she probably received minimal education, if that. She could neither read nor write. 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.

Yes, as a leader she had to take her soldiers to where they were needed the most.

They both fought England on behalf of France.

The Dauphin was at a loss as to how he should proceed in the war against the British. Nothing he had done was successful. He had nothing to lose by giving Joan a leadership role so agreed to her request. He also felt that if what Joan was telling the truth about the voices she heard from God, he might be going against the Holy Spirit if he refused.

Joan of Arc picked the dauphin Charles, the crown prince of France, out of a room full of about 300 courtiers on March 6, 1429. Joan told the dauphin that God had given her a mission to raise the siege of Orleans by the English and to then conduct him to Rheims to be crowned King of France.

The amazed dauphin asked Joan if she could give him a sign that she was truly

sent to him by God? Joan told the dauphin (in private, of course) that she knew of a prayer he had said the previous November, in which he had asked God that if he, Charles, was indeed the legitimate heir to the French throne, to help him be crowned, but that if he were illegitimate (his mother had slept around, so his very legitimacy had been in doubt), to please let him suffer and not his poor

people any longer by the cruelty of the English. Joan then assured him that God had told her that he was indeed the legitimate heir to the French throne!

Charles was stunned by this revelation. He immediately believed Joan and gave her a great war horse, a new suit of armor, a steward, pages and heralds, and an army with which to raise the siege of Orleans.

Yes, they are both alternate names for Joan of Arc.

The best known of these is Joan of Arc who was burned at the stake in 1431.

Simply put, Joan of Arc's methods were straightforward and military, while Charles VII's focus was slower and more political. Joan's strategy was one of simply attacking the English until they went away, while Charles was far more concerned with the legitimacy of his reign and ending the conflict between his house and the Burgundians.

After Charles was crowned, Joan didn't have the patience to wait for the political situation to improve, and went to attack the English in Paris, which failed. Charles, on the other hand, was so focused on reconciling with Burgundy that he squandered military opportunities in hopes that the Burgundians were ready to negotiate in good faith, which, at the time, they were not.

Four years after Joan's death, Charles finally did reconcile with the Duke of Burgundy, breaking the Burgundian alliance with England and having the Duke recognize Charles' right to the throne. After that, he was much more aggressive at taking the fight to the English--perhaps not quite so much as Joan would have been, but he got the job done.

She wasn't bad at all. She was an extremely inspiring figure for the French soldiers. The English thought she was a witch and had her burned for heresy, but the church later condemned this action and eventually made her a saint.

There are many but, perhaps, the best and best known was written by Mark Twain, titled Joan of Arc. It is a fictional novel but based on facts. Twain had a personal fascination with this saint.

The Hundred Years War ended after Joan of Arc's death. Her actions were the Catalyst for France to defeat the English within 22 years after her death.

Joan was not executed for witchcraft. She was executed under the pretense of being a heretic by a bishop who supported the British who Joan was trying to drive out of France. About 20 years after her execution she was totally exonerated of all charges against her. Unfortunately, this came too late to save Joan. Joan of Arc died on May 30, 1431.

Joan had led the French to several military victories that had seriously embarrassed and humiliated the British army and they wanted her dead. As it would not have been proper to execute her for military actions she took they concocted false charges of heresy and witchcraft. An ethnic French bishop who favored the Brits found her guilty and ordered her burned at the stake, the standard punishment for heretics at the time. The bishop had ordered her to cease wearing men's clothing as it was forbidden by a mandate in the Old Testament. She signed an agreement to stop wearing men's clothing. However, at night the British authorities removed the women's clothing from her cell forcing her to, once again, put men's clothing. The bishop said she was guilty of breaking her agreement and declared her a heretic. 25 years after her death, Joan was exonerated of all charges and, instead, the bishop was found guilty of heresy. He had since died so could not experience the same fate as Joan.
