Joan of Arc

Aside from being a strong-willed woman, which was frowned upon before modern times, there are indications that she may have suffered from epilepsy and mild schizophrenia - which were often associated with demonic possession and witchcraft.

One could theoretically be both. In Joan of Arc's case she was convicted by the English as a Heretic and a Witch and burned at the stake, however, many people including her executioner did not believe that. Additionally 25 years after her death the Church launched its own inquisition into Joan of Arc and definitively proclaimed her innocent of all charges levied against her. She was later Cannonized in 1920 and is currently one of the Patron Saints of France as well as Warriors.

The book is about the life and exploits of Saint Joan of Arc.

she will be 595.

Joan of Arc wore white armour, so that would be a good start. You could also tuck your hair in the back of your shirt because she cut hers short to look like a man.She didn't wear a helmet because she wanted her face to be seen.

I hoped ive helped :D

Intimacy versus Isolation

She revealed something that was a complete secret to him.

yes

well..actually she was burned at the stake in France by French Catholic clerics with the encouragement and support of the English for alleged heresy against the Catholic Church with the real reason being that she was SAVING France from the English.

Funny huh..restored French sovereignity by driving out the English AND lived a life of such devotion to the Catholic faith that she was canonized by the Catholic Church as a beutific example of following the faith.

and gets burned at the stake for allegedly being an enemy of the Catholic Church

CATHOLICS

At the age of 12 joan started receiving mysterious voice messages. She was quite bright in retrospect, as she never answered the Saints back because she feared being considered insane. St. Joan of Arc did state in her writings that she heard from a great many Saints throughout her life.

Joan was burned alive on May 30, 1431, at Rouen, France

Joan of Arc did not stop the 100 Years War, however her actions acted as the turning point in the war that eventually allowed the French to win.

The climax came when Joan was found guilty of heresy in a fradulent trial and burned at the stake as punishment on May 30, 1431.

Joan of Arc did become a general in 1429. She is one of the most famous generals because she is the youngest person in history to become a general (age 17).

Her best friend's name was Hauviette. I'm not sure if that's her best friend.

Battles proper- Rheims and Orleans- l429/ There were a number of marches, what would now be called reconnaisance missions and rear-echelon actions such as Tours, Arles, etc- the poem ( The Good Joan) gets into this but the real war action was at Rheims and Orleans. It has been argued the Battle of Rheims- and the elaborate altar-piece or similar mural in the cathedral there, showing the coronation of King Charles Vii after the battle- was the inspiration for the starting line-up in Chess. It is coincidence but we have in the mural a Knight ( and a female one at that!), a Bishop, and a King, and the rooks could be the columns of the building! it is just a happenstance but some French fans say that is the opening alignment of Chess,

Definitely a girl; she was examined by a panel of matrons and certified as such.

On her trip to visit Price Charles she was disguised as a male Paige. Her hair was cut short and she wore the clothing of a man (or boy). Once she was given a position of command in the army she wore men's clothing as a necessity but not as a disguise. Her troops knew full well she was female.

No, Eleanore of Aquitiane was not burned at the stake. She died of natural causes when she was in her 80's. She lived to see her son John be King.

Joan of Arc helped to end feudalism in the Middle Ages, but actually it was the

Black Plague which did the most to eliminate feudalism by killing almost half of the

working people of Middle Age Europe.

Joan of Arc, as a commoner (not of noble birth or an aristocrat) probably helped

kill feudalism by showing that a person of humble birth could be just as great a

leader and inspiration for soldiers as any nobleman.

Some say this is the very reason that King Charles VII did nothing to save Joan

from being burnt as a heretic by her English enemies. Charles was afraid that Joan

had way too much popularity with the common people and feared she was

a threat to the existing aristocracy.

Joan had 3 brothers as well as a sister. Joan was the middle child.

I would write about her private revelations from the angels & the Saints. I would even include the back stories of these Saints in the essay too.

She was held by the English in a tower in Rouen. She was also executed here.

Joan's mother was primarily a mother and housewife.

She has three brothers; Jacquemin, Jean and Pierre. She had a mother and a father (Isabelle Vouthon, and Jacques d'Arc). She also had one sister named Catherine. All were simple peasant farmers and devout Catholics. Her father also supplemented his farm income by holding a minor position in the village government, a tax collector.

Joan of Arc was born in 1412, began her campaign in 1429, and was burned at the stake in 1431.
