Joan of Arc
Later considered the symbol of the French state in its struggle against the English, Joan of Arc here carries a sword in one hand and a banner with the oral symbol of the fleur-de-lis in the other. Her face, which scholars believe to a good resemblance, shows inner strength and calm determination. (Archives Nationales, Paris)

Born in 1412 to well-do-do peasants in the village of Domremy in Champagne, Joan of Arc grew up in a religious household. During adolescence she began to hear voices, which she later said belonged to Saint Michael, Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret. In 1428 these voices spoke to her with great urgency, telling her that the dauphin (the uncrowned King Charles VII) had to be crowned and the English expelled from France. . . . Page 367
In 1430 England’s allies, the Burgandians, captured Joan and sold her to the English. When the English handed over to the ecclesiastical authorities for trial, the French court did not intervene. While th eEnglish wanted Joan eliminated for obvious political reasons, sorcery (witchcraft) was the ostensible charge at her trial. Witch persecution was increasing in the fifteenth century, and Joan’s wearing of men’s cloths appeared not only aberrant but indicative of contact with the devil.
. . . . In 1431 the court condemned her as a heretic – her claim of direct inspiration from God, thereby denying the authority of church officials constituted heresy – and burned her at the stake in the marketplace at Rouen. In 1920 she was canonized and declared a holy maiden, and today she is revered as the second patron saint of Frances. The nineteenth century French historian Jules Michelet extolled Joan of Arc as a symbol of the vitality and strength of the French peasant classes. ` Page 368
