Joans Childhood
  • As a peasant girl Joan never did learn how to
    read and write. Eventually she did learned how
    to sign her name. Legend has it that at the age
    of 13 Joan began hearing voices from angels such
    as St. Catherine, St. Michael, and St. Margaret.

Joans Mission
  • Before the Hundred Years War, the English
    had gained great power in France. Joan believed
    God had told her to help the French heir, Charles
    the VII onto the throne. She encouraged French
    troops and even led them into battle against the
    English. English power was eventually weakened
    and Charles the VII was able to be crowned king.

Betrayal and Death
  • In 1430, at the age of 18 Joan was
    arrested for heresy and sorcery. On May 30th,
    1431, she was burned at the stake. Because
    Charles VII was afraid he might lose support of
    the Church he made no attempt to save her
