History File, The - Joan Of Arc - Soldier Saint
Born in 1412, Joan of Arc - famous forever as the Maid of Orleans - was arguably one of the most remarkable women ever to grace the pages of history. Although Joan was born to well-off peasant folk, she had no formal education but at the age of thirteen she heard her 'voices' for the first time - voices she believed belonged to St Michael and St. Catherine, telling her to rescue the Paris region from English domination. And that's what the incredible teenage girl did clad in armour at the head of a French army of resistance, she ejected the English from Orleans and had Charles VII crowned in Reims Cathedral. Featuring authentic recreations and re-constructions, this is the story of one of the first in history to die for a Christian-inspired nationalism.
