History Joan of Arc was a young peasant girl who is considered a heroine of France for her role during the final phase of the Hundred Years' War. Joan claimed to have had visions of the Archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine of Alexandria, who instructed her to help Charles VII and free France from English domination during the final period of the Hundred Years' War. Charles VII, who had not yet been crowned, sent Joan to the siege of Orleans as part of a relief army, where she gained great fame because the siege was lifted just nine days later. Other rapid victories allowed Charles VII to be crowned king of France in Reims. This much-anticipated event boosted French morale and paved the way for their final victory. On May 23, 1430, Joan was captured in Compiègne by the Burgundian faction, a group of French nobles allied with the English. She was later handed over to the English and tried by Bishop Pierre Cauchon on various charges. Declared guilty, Duke John of Bedford had her burned at the stake in Rouen on May 30, 1431, when she was around 19 years old. At her trial, Joan stated that she was about 19 years old, implying that she believed she was born around 1412. Joan was illiterate, and her letters were dictated to scribes and signed with the help of others. Joan was the daughter of Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle Romée, residents of Domrémy, a village then in the French part of the Duchy of Bar. Her parents owned twenty hectares of land, and her father supplemented his work as a farmer with a minor position as a village official, collecting taxes and leading the local guard. They lived in an isolated area of eastern France that remained loyal to the French crown despite being surrounded by pro-Burgundian lands. Historical Facts and Contexts: In modern French, her name is always translated as Jeanne d'Arc, reflecting the orthographic changes due to the evolution of the language over time. Her first name is sometimes transcribed as "Jeanneton" or "Jeannette," and it is possible that Joan dropped the diminutive suffix -eton or -ette in her adolescence. Due to the unreliability of records and contemporary customs, Joan of Arc's birth name is not known for certain. Joan of Arc did not come from a place called Arc but was born and raised in the village of Domrémy, on what was then the northeastern border of the Kingdom of France. All her signatures appear in Middle French as Jehanne without a surname. Capture and Trial: After a truce with the English, Joan turned her attention to the Hussites and challenged the English to join her in fighting this dissident group. However, the truce ended when the Duke of Burgundy claimed towns that had been ceded by treaty. Compiègne refused to submit, and Joan set out to help the city. As she advanced with her modest army, she joined other commanders and achieved some victories, but was eventually captured by the Burgundians in May 1430. After being captured, Joan was transferred several times and finally tried for heresy in Rouen in January 1431. The trial was fraught with irregularities and political motivations, as both the English and the Burgundians sought to eliminate her as a military and political threat. Although Joan showed skill in facing the interrogations, she was condemned for heresy and, subsequently, an additional charge of cross-dressing was fabricated when she resumed wearing male clothing in prison to protect herself from sexual abuse. Despite Joan's protests and defenses, she was condemned to death and executed in May 1431. Her trial was later considered unfair, and its transcripts were used in the 20th century for her canonization. Execution: After a controversial trial for heresy in 1431, Joan of Arc was condemned to death by the ecclesiastical authorities and handed over to the secular authorities, the English. On May 30, 1431, in the market square of Rouen, she was taken to the stake. Although at the time of her execution there was a crowd of spectators, many of whom were supporters of Joan, she maintained her firmness and devotion until the end. Likes/Dislikes: She deeply hates the English and Burgundians. She hates French traitors to the homeland and the faith who supported England.
