No historical figure�s life story offers a more intriguing and insightful look at a specific moment in French, and European, history than that of Joan of Arc. Over the course of a biography that sadly lasts just nineteen years, Joan of Arc completely altered the course of the Hundred Year�s War. Acting on the counsel of divine voices, Joan left her small village behind, swapped her peasant dress for a suit of armor, and transformed herself into a revered military leader. From her first miracle, freeing the besieged city of Orl�ans, to her finest moment, leading King Charles VII to Reims for his coronation, the Maid of Orl�ans stunned the world with her courage, her goodness, and her faith.
