Curiosities

Joan of Arc is known as a national heroin of France who was
born in 1412 and died in 1431. She was only seventeen years old
when she led the French army to several victories against the
English. Joan believed she had visions from God that told her to
recover her homeland from English domination; because of that
she was later captured, tried and convicted of heresy by an
English-controlled church. She was nineteen when the church
decided to burn her at the stake. Twenty four years later, Joan
of Arc’s case was reviewed and she was found innocent. The
Catholic church decided then to canonized her.
