Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc led the French to several major victories during the last stage of the Hundred Years War. Though she died in 1431 she turned the fortunes of France around which eventually led to the final French Victor 22 years after her execution. Such victories include Orleans and Patay, as well as restoring Charles VII to the French Throne.

Her mission was to drive the occupying British army from France and return the French monarchy.

Yes, she only fought in the Hundre Years War.

Joan of Arc was born and raised in the little village of Domremy in a part of Eastern France known as Lorraine.

no she was not, she was a very poor farmer girl

Joan of Arc's Campaign ended up being the turning point that helped France reclaim much of their lost territory.

Joan did not want to take lives and she was not trained in combat. She was a strategist and spent her time directing the battles.

I know she definitely led the battle of Orleans which was the most outstanding. She had freed Orleans and the battle lasted only nine days.

Joan's actual name was Jehanne d'Arc. There are several surviving documents signed by her and she always signed 'Jehanne.' That was the entire extent of Joan's writing ability as she was illiterate. For a photograph of her actual signature, see the link below.

Joan never attended school and coould neither read nor write. She received no formal grammar training except that which she picked up from her parents and listening to others speak.

The technical reason for Joan of Arc's death sentence was that she was a relapsed heretic. The evidence the corrupt clergy gave for her being a relapsed heretic was that she had resumed wearing male clothes. The truth was that she was forced to resume dressing in male clothes to try to protect herself from rape so the verdict was a complete sham.

Joan of Arc benefited France in that she scored stunning victories against the English invaders, especially at the Battle of Orleans, eventually leading to the retreat of the English from France altogether. However, the Hundred Years War did not benefit France; it destroyed much of the country.

Joan of Arc is the correct spelling, not Joan of Ark.

She was l9 years at the time of her tragic death by execution at the old market Stake in Rouen, France.

The Bible, I should think.

The legend of St. Catherine of Alexandria (c. 282-305) has been important in Catholic hagiology since it was first mentioned in the ninth century. It is said that St. Catherine of Alexandria was an extremely learned young girl of noble birth who vowed to remain a virgin all her life. She protested the persecution of Christians under the Roman emperor Maxentius, whose wife she converted, as well as and several soldiers and hundreds of other pagans. Livid with rage, Maxentius ordered the young Catherine to be executed. While young girls are not expected to go as far as to sacrifice their lives for the faith, the story can encourage them to consider Catherine as a role model for virtue. However, we can not even be sure whether Catherine actually existed.
St. Catherine was never mentioned before the ninth century, and some assiduous research has failed to identify Catherine with any historical person. Donald Attwater calls the story of St. Catherine the most preposterous legend of its kind, citing the lack of any positive evidence that she ever existed outside the mind of some Greek writer who first composed what he intended to be simply an edifying romance. Even her name, which comes from the Greek katharos, ('pure'), is suspiciously apt for a virgin martyr, raising the possibility that her legend originated as an allegory. Perhaps even then, Catherine was important as an example to young girls.
