Is there a poem about Joan of Arc?
Sheer coincidence! I was thinking of one. It was written by a woman and connects various cities and battle sites in France with (The Good Joan) which I believe is the title of the poem. Each verse concludes- And Joan of Arc goes riding by! The only problem is there is maybe an excess of joie de vivre. My Dad thought (he ws Lutheran) it sounded like (while not a song) a parody on Happy Days are here Again!)The poem makes no mention of her martydom or tragic aspects of her life. Oh maybe there is too much wet blankets around let us live it up! The poem was not a song, though it could easily be sung to (Happy days are here again) which might give the wrong impression. There is a hymn called (Stainless Maiden) at first glance seems to be about the Girl Knight, but is actually about the Virgin Mary. Tyere are a number of poems about St.Joan, good luck in seeking them out. Somewhat oddly there are no canonical 9regular issue, approved) HYMNS about her in English. There are few hymns honoring specific saints though it can be argued Amazing Grace is about St.Paul and his conversion, and many other songs are similar, yet there are tons of Marian hymns- in fact the whole month of May is taken up with ASt.Mary, a little unbalanced if you ask me. There are probably good Ste Jeanne hymns-In French as she is the National saint. Likewise must be St.Patrick:s day Hymns in Ireland.
How was Joan of Arc a peacemaker?
"Jeanne's mission was on the surface warlike, but it really had the effect of ending a century of war, and her love and charity were so broad, that they could only be matched by Him who prayed for His murderers."
Joan of Arc led the French army against the siege at?
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.

Joan was the third child in the family of 5 children.

Why did Jesus and Mary appear on Joan of Arc's banner?
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.
Why in the end Joan was excommunicated?
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.
Are there photos of Joan of Arc on the stake?
Neither cameras nor smart phones existed at the time Joan was burned at the stake. There are no photographs.
How old was Joan of Arc when she led the French army to victory?
Joan was about 17 years old when she entered the French army.
Could Joan of Arc have done anything differently to avoid execution?
Joan of Arc certainly couldn't have done anything different, unless not to fight the English/Burgundians at all, which she felt she must do, and resulted in her capture and mock trial for heresy. The English, who feared and hated Joan,
who had soundly defeated them several times in battle, were going to have her executed for anything, no matter what!
Who could have done something for Joan was that ungrateful scumbag, King Charles VII, who could have either ransomed Joan, or traded either the Duke of Suffolk or Lord John Talbot, one of the greatest English commanders, who were both his prisoners at the time. But he just did nothing at all.
Most historians agree that Charles, who was very self-centered, was jealous of
Joan's tremendous military successes (which actually lead to Charles' coronation at Rheims in July, 1429), and of her great popularity with the people, especially the common people.
Charles, being a king, like all aristocrats greatly distrusted the common people, who eventually overthrew the king and his aristocracy in the French Revolution.
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.
Was Joan of Arc a real person?
While Joan was illiterate, she could sign her name and several documents remain showing that signature as Jehanne. For an image of her signature click on this link.
Jehanne Darc.
Joan of Arcs real name was Jehanne d'Arc
Did Joan of Arc have any training?
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.
Was Catherine the Great Joan of Arc's sister?
Yes, her name was Catherine. It is not known if she was a female Knight like Ste Jeanne. Both the Spanish and the Italians had some female knights almost all were of the nobility from start. there was the Spanish order of the hatchet (ll49 ad) and one of the better known Italian ( Donna Battaglias) ( Battle Ladies) was Matilda , countess of Tuscany. she survived her missions and eventually was buried in a church in Rome, but is nowhere near as popular as the heroine of Rheims.
How is Joan of Arc remembered?
Gods Maiden
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.

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.
