Jeanne D'Arc - The Maid Of Orléans: Jeanne D'arc, known as "La Pucelle" was born around 1412 in Domrémy, and died at the stake on 30 May 1431 in Rouen. She was a heroine of French history, a war leader and a saint of the Catholic Church, posthumously nicknamed "La Pucelle d'Orléans".
At the beginning of the 15th century, the young girl from a peasant background claimed that she had been given the mission by Saints Michael, Margaret of Antioch and Catherine of Alexandria to deliver France from the occupation of England. Jeanne managed to meet Charles VII, lead the French troops against the English armies, lift the siege of Orleans, and lead the king to the coronation in Reims, thus helping to reverse the Hundred Years' War course.
Jeanne was captured at Compiègne in 1430, after which she was sold to the English by Jean de Luxembourg, Count of Ligny, for the sum of ten thousand pounds. Jeanne was condemned and executed in 1431.
Beatified in 1909 and canonised in 1920, Jeanne D'arc became one of France's two secondary patron saints in 1922.
