Jeanne d’Arc

Born in Domrémy in 1412, Joan of Arc heard divine voices asking her to “save France” from English enemies when she was only 13 years old. At the time, the interminable Hundred Years War pitted the two rival kingdoms against each other, plunging the people into disarray. Determined to accomplish her mission, she manages to meet the Dauphin of France a few years later. This decisive moment will allow him to go into battle and lift the siege of Orléans, in order to lead the future King Charles VII to the throne. But Joan of Arc will eventually be captured by the English. Accused of heresy, she died at the age of 19, condemned to the stake.
