Joan of Arc |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| At the age of 13, Joan of Arc convinced a board of theologians that she had a divine mission to save France during the Hundred Years’ War with England. She led the French in several military victories over the English in 1429. When she led an unauthorized campaign the following year, she was tried and convicted of heresy for answering to God before the Roman Catholic Church. Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in 1431, but after 25 years the church overturned the conviction and later canonized her. | ||||||
