She was a simple peasant girl who couldn’t
read or write. Yet Joan of Arc united France and helped free her country from
English rule. Today, she is remembered as one of the greatest heroines in
history.
VOICES FROM HEAVEN
Joan of Arc was born in Domrémy, France,
in 1412. Her parents were farmers. When Joan was 13, she started to hear
strange, sweet voices. She thought the saints were calling to her from heaven.
Joan believed the voices were telling her to save
France. At that time, the English and French were fighting the Hundred Years’
War (1337-1453). In 1429, Joan went to see Charles, the future king of France.
She was just 17 years old.
JOAN VISITS THE KING
Charles was feeling desperate. He was losing the
war against England. Not all of France accepted Charles as king. Charles feared
he might never be king of all France. So Charles listened to young Joan.
Charles decided that Joan could help him. The
heavenly voices she heard might inspire his soldiers. She might make the men
think God was on their side. He gave Joan a coat of armor to wear and a big
white banner to carry into battle.
JOAN LEADS AN ARMY TO VICTORY
Joan led her army to Orléans, a city the
English were about to capture. Her forces defeated the English! For this
victory, Joan earned the name Maid of Orléans. Soon afterwards, Charles was
crowned king of France as Charles VII. Joan had a place of honor at his side.
JOAN’S CAPTURE, TRIAL, AND DEATH
The next year, Joan led another French army.
But she was captured and handed over to the English. The English believed Joan
was evil. They said the voices Joan heard and the soldier’s clothes she wore
were signs of wickedness. They asked the Catholic Church to put her on trial as
a witch!
The church found Joan guilty and condemned her to
death. But Joan begged forgiveness. She was sent to prison instead.
In jail, Joan began wearing soldier’s clothes
again. The English accused her of going back to her wicked ways. Joan was
burned at the stake in 1431.
SAINT JOAN
In 1456, when the war was over, the Catholic
Church declared that Joan had been innocent. In 1920, the church made Joan a
saint.
