Jehanne la Pucelle (Also known as Jeanne D'arc)

Jeanne D'arc, (also known as Joan of arc, and who calls herself Joan the maiden (Jehanne la pucelle))is considered a heroine of France for her role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years' War. She is a saint in the Roman Catholic Church.
Joan was born to a peasant family at Domrémy in northeast France. In 1428, she traveled to Vaucouleurs and requested to be taken to Charles VII of France, later testifying that she had received visions from the archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine instructing her to support Charles and recover France from English domination. Her request to see the king was rejected twice, but eventually the garrison commander Robert de Baudricourt relented and gave her an escort to meet Charles at Chinon. After their interview, Charles sent Joan, who was about 17 years old, to the seige of Orleans  as part of a relief army.
