Who led the French into battle near Orleans in 1429?
SIEGE OF ORLÉANS
The English took over Orleans, France. Then, on May 8,1429, Joan of Arc (1412-31), a lowly peasant teenager, led French troops to quell the siege and they won.
What did Joan of Arc have to sacrifice to answer Gods call?
Because she truly believed that God Chose her to save France.
Joan of Arc became a legend because, as a mere teenager, she organised French resistance against English domination, leading the charge which attacked the English and forced them to retreat from Orléans in 1429. As she led further charges, she helped turn the Hundred Years War unequivocally in France's favour.
Joan of Arc was victorious, but in 1430 she was captured by the Burgundians and sold to the English. She was accused of heresy and witchcraft. Ultimately, she was burned at the stake, on 30 May 1431.
St. Joan of Arc is a saint, which means she died doing God's will and is in heaven. Being a saint excludes sin, doing God's will excludes sin. Being bisexual obviously means that doing God's will is not first in your priorities. The two are completely incompatable as doing God's will means not satisfying your own desires.
Joan of Arc's primary mission was to lift the seige of Orleans and lead Charles VII to Reims for his coronation as king. Beyond this she also wanted to drive the English from France.
What did Joan of Arc do during the French Revolution?
At the age of twelve Joan worked on her father's farm caring for livestock. Around the age of 12 or 13 she started hearing voices directing her future actions.
Yes, Joan Of Arc was real. The records of her original trial and of the trial of rehabilitation as well as many other documents from the time are still in existence.
This is a highly subjective question. However, she is one of the most revered Saints in both the Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches. She is also one of France's National Heroes. And she helped liberate France from the English. And the French even today would likely say that she was good. At the same time she was reviled by the English and Burgundians because she was beating them soundly, they even executed her for Heresy (she was later found innocent and declared a Martyr.) But even today many Britons would be hard pressed to declare that she was "bad".
Did Joan of Ark get burned at the stake in Strasbourg or Nantes?
Yes and no. The people who ultimately killed Joan were ethnic French who supported the British.
She was burned at the stake in Rouen market on May 30, 1431 on a trumped up charge of heresy.
Did Joan of Arc die from burns or smoke inhalation?
Joan was, of course, burned at the stake. The executioner warned that the wood was piled very high, so that he would not be able, as was customary, to strangle her before the flames actually reached her; and that the wood was very dry, so that there would be very little smoke. Normally, the smoke served to conceal the strangling, and also ensured that the victim died of asphyxiation before the flames actually reached her. heat stroke could cause unconsciousness, but probably not in time to save the victim pain. Joan probably died of shock within a minute of the flames reaching her body, but in any case it can't have been much fun.
Hey wait a minute!
In August 2002 I came up with the idea of Joan having died from heat stroke.
These records contain nothing about the executioner saying the wood was piled high. Nor is there anything about his not being able to strangle her before the flames reached her. Nor is there anything about the wood being dry. Nor is there anything about the presence or lack of smoke. These are all fabrications dreamed up out of thin air and promulgated from one website to another, forever it seems.
Furthermore, if somebody is unconscious there is no pain.
What the records do reveal is that Joan was speaking in a clear voice right up to her last conscious moment. But this would be impossible if she were burning.
The two views above appear incompatible, but they are not. In the absence of smoke, Joan's loss of consciousness would indeed be caused by heat stroke. She would still die of shock within a minute of the flames reaching her; consciousness is not necessary for shock. And the fact that she was speaking clearly up to that point demonstrates that she was not strangled. If the wood had been damp, the smoke would have prevented her speaking - and prevented the witnesses from seeing her. I think we're both right.
Is Joan of Arc considered a martyr?
She led the French Army to many victorious wars, indirectly caused the coronation of Chargles VII, then was captured by the Burgundians, sold to the English, and burned at the stake when she was nineteen years old. 24 years later, Pope Callixtus III reviewed the case and deemed her innocent, then claiming her as a martyr.
Who was Joan of Arc married to?

Joan of Arc was raped in prison, in order to try to break her will and to decrease her influence on the people
Correction:
Although some tried to rape Joan in prison, they never succeeded since she continued to wear men's clothing. This included boots that laced up to the waist that discouaged anyone from trying. She was examined during her trial and found to be a virgin.
Was Joan of Arc the youngest child in her family?
She died before she could. So, no she did not. She was examined and certified a virgin at the time of her trial. She was never married and had no children because she was only 19 when she was killed.
Where was Joan of Arc imprisoned?
Joan was captured on May 23, 1430, by the Burgundians who were loyal to the British.
Why did the English burn Saint Joan of Arc?
They didn't. The Burgundians captured her, the Church tried and condemned her, the English burned her. The basic reason for her condemnation was that she had obeyed her own inner voices rather than the Church.
Clarification:
Technically, it was the British that had Joan of Arc burned at the stake after a fraudulent Church trial for heresy. The British had been badly humiliated and embarrassed by Joan's victories and they wanted revenge. They also felt that the French army would be demoralized by the death of their leader and the British could again take control of the situation.
23 years after her death, Joan was given a second trial and found innocent of all charges that had led to her execution.
