The "Maid of Orleans" refers to Joan of Arc, a French peasant girl who became a national heroine and a key figure in the Hundred Years' War between France and England. Born around 1412, she claimed to have received visions from saints instructing her to support Charles VII and help reclaim France from English occupation. Joan led several successful military campaigns but was captured in 1430, tried for heresy, and executed in 1431. She was canonized as a saint in 1920 and remains an enduring symbol of courage and faith.
