Joan of Arc

As far as I have heard She spoke French. I am unsure if she spoke fluently in any other languages. I am still trying to figure that one out myself. I am sorry if my answer hasn't helped you any.

Joan of Arc was known as the Maid of Orleans.

She was burned at the stake on May 30, 1431, at the age of 19.

Joan of Arc was one of the best people in the world. She was trying to recover her homeland from the English. She helped the French. She was taken captive, and was killed at the stake.

Joan of Arc's parents were Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle. They were peasants but lived comfortable. Her father was an official (tax collector) in the small town where she was born. Her parents owned a small (50 acre) farm that provided a living for the family.

It's an economic and political theory developed in the Industrial Revolution that said that only those who have a "stake in society," or who were the most wealth and had the most to lose, should be able to vote because they will be careful and rational with their decisions.

No, she was not, Charles VII was married to Marie of Anjou in 1422.

However, Joan was very much in love with Charles VII, and he was very much in love with her.

Joan of Arc lived in Domrémy (know today as Domrémy-la-Pucelle) a small village located in Eastern France. During her childhood her parents owned and operated their own farm on 50 acres of land. Her father also held a position as a village official, collecting taxes and heading the local town watch.

She was beatified in 1909 and canonized in 1920 by Pope Benedict XV.

Joan led the French army in a successful battle with the British at Orleans to break the 7 month siege they had held of the city. The residents were overjoyed at her success and gave her the title.

Joan of Arc's contribution during the middle ages was the impressive battle she won at Orleans, which was under siege from the English. After winning that battle, she and her followers escorted Charles VII to Reims for so he could be crowned king. In this, she helped free much of France from English rule.

Joan of Arc was in the Hundred Years War because she was born in France in 1412 during the Hundred Years War. If you are asking why she fought in the Hundred Years War it is because she believed she was given a Mission from God to drive the English out of France and return Charles VII to the Throne of France.

joan of arc was a french peasant woman who took over their army and attacked the england people with 6,000 warriors, fighting against 25,000 england warriors. she won, and her victory at 4-1 scale fighting inspired the french.

Joan of Arc was Roman Catholic. Catholic is a type of Christian.
Joan was a very devout Roman Catholic.

Joan of Arc's father, Jacques d'Arc, as well as her mother Isabelle were peasants and farmers, like much of Domremy, France at this time. Her father did hold some type of public office in their small village as the town tax collector.

Joan was shot by an arrow over her left breast on May 7th, 1429, as she was

mounting an assault ladder at the Tourelles, an English fort located on the south end of the long bridge which crossed north over the Loire River into Orleans.

This battle was what ultimately raised the siege (by the English) of Orleans.

The French had a boat set on fire underneath the drawbridge leading from the

barbican in front of the Tourelles and back into the main gatehouse of the Tourelles.

Joan pulled the arrow out herself, and after she had been treated with bacon fat and lard, returned to the battle. She had the exhausted French troops "rest for awhile, to eat and drink, and then to try once more". Shortly afterward she returned to the barbican and waved her famous white banner, which terrified the English, who thought she had been killed, and inspired her own troops to storm the barbican. The English commander, William Glasdale, tried to escape from the barbican over the drawbridge back into the main gatehouse. But the drawbridge, which had been weakened by the fire underneath it, collapsed and Glasdale and 500 of his men fell into the Loire and drowned.

The siege was over!

Yes, Joan lived towards the final years of the Middle Ages.

Some people of that time did believe she was a witch. She was trialed for witch craft and burned at the steak.
No, the bishop Cauchon and the jury trying Joan of Arc wanted to try her as a witch, but upon examination they found she was still a virgin, and people believed that to be a witch one had to have had sex with the devil. So, since Joan of Arc was still a virgin, the court couldn't try her for witchcraft, and tried her for heresy instead.

No, Joan did not accomplish what she wanted during her lifetime. She hoped to drive the British out of France and establish the French monarchy once again. She died before these objectives were achieved but was the catalyst that turned the tide of the war for her country to succeed and accomplish her objectives.

After Joan of Arc was executed in 1431 the English were never able to regain their military dominance and were ultimately driven from France in 1450.

She was only seventeen years old.

Joan was denied legal counsel as well as witnesses who could speak in her defense.

Joan of Arc exhibited great courage in many ways. First, it took great courage to follow the call of God when she was a simple young girl. It definitely took great courage when she led men into battle as was exposed to all the hazards of medieval warfare. She even showed greater courage when she was captured and had to defend herself in a hostile rigged trial. Last she showed incredible courage in the way she faced her death. It is hard to find anyone else in history with more courage than Joan of Arc.

They didn't want to ransom Joan of Arc like they usually would with important figures because then she would go back to leading the French Army and since the French Army was winning under her command that would have been bad for the Burgundians because they were allied with England against France. So rather than ransom her and let her return to her country, they sold her.
