'''Saint Joan of Arc''' (c. 1412 – May 30, 1431), known as the Maid of Orléans, was a [[Saints|saint]] and French heroine who led her country to victories during the Hundred Years’ War. Born a peasant in [[Domrémy]], Duchy of Bar, France, she received visions from St. Michael, St. Catherine, and St. Margaret at age 13, urging her to save France. At 17, she convinced Charles VII to let her lead an army, lifting the siege of Orléans in 1429 and enabling Charles’ coronation in Reims. Captured by the Burgundians in 1430, she was sold to the English, tried for heresy, and burned at the stake in [[Rouen]] at 19. Her conviction was overturned in 1456, and she was canonized by [[Pope Benedict XV]] in 1920. Her feast day is [[May 30]].<ref name="CatholicEncyclopedia">{{cite web |title=St. Joan of Arc |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08409c.htm |website=Catholic Encyclopedia |publisher=New Advent |access-date=2025-05-12}}</ref><ref name="Wikipedia">{{cite web |title=Joan of Arc |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_of_Arc |website=Wikipedia |publisher=Wikimedia Foundation |access-date=2025-05-12}}</ref> | '''Saint Joan of Arc''' (c. 1412 – May 30, 1431), known as the Maid of Orléans, was a [[Saints|saint]] and French heroine who led her country to victories during the Hundred Years’ War.

Joan’s courage, piety, and military leadership inspired France’s resurgence. Declared a national symbol by Napoleon, her legacy endures in art, literature, and French culture.
