There was a prophecy that France would be ruined by a woman and restored by a virgin from the borders of Lorraine (Portraits of Saint). Joan of Arc was born in 1492 in the small town of Domremy, a village in eastern France, as a peasant. She helped feed the animals and take care of their farm. At that time, the Hundred Years War between the French and the English was raging, his father often spoke to him about the poor state of France and the fact that the English controlled almost all the land. The country of France was divided, with the Bergonde territory aligning itself with the English. Jeanne constantly thought and pitied her poor country, she was a Christian so she probably prayed; he was not taught to read and write, but his mother instilled in him a deep love of his faith in the Catholic religion. Then finally, his prayers were answered by the voice of God himself. At the age of 13, the voice of God said: “Joan, you can deliver the land from the English. Go to the aid of King Charles” after hearing the voice three times, she was convinced that her mission was to save France. These same voices told Joan to preserve her virginity, live a holy life, and devote herself to the service of God to lead her country to liberation from the English. After that, she felt the need to share with her parents, her friends and her priest. All this told him that these were just glorious dreams. In about two weeks, she convinced them all that Jeanne was the chosen savior for France. Believing in the chosen savior, the rich decided to help Jeanne with money and supplies for the trip to Chinon. Jeanne asked her uncle for help in her mission and together they went to Vaucouleurs for support in gaining time in herself and in faith to get back up with the power of God already knowing that she was going to die. Burning at the stake for what she believed fueled her country and now her heroism lives on in art and writing.Works CitedAlchinin. Linda. “Joan of Arc”. Lords and ladies. LordsandLadies.com.
