She’s one of history’s youngest warriors. At an age when most of us were still stressing over what to wear to school, Joan of Arc was leading thousands of French troops into battle against the English. Supposedly inspired by divine visions of Catholicism’s greatest saints, Joan first took up her sword at 16, was leading armies by 17, and was burned at the stake before she was 20. In her short life, she managed to change the course of the Hundred Years’ War, ending English domination of France. Not bad for an illiterate girl from the sticks.
But while most of us know the name Joan of Arc and know her tragic end, how much do we know about her life? Join us today as we take a look at the simple peasant girl who changed European history, before dying alone and disgraced, convinced she was a failure.
