A patron saint of France, It is understood that Joan of Arc was born in around 1412 to a peasant family in Domrémy. As a young girl Joan claimed to have had visions that told her to save what would later become France and drive the English from her lands. It is understood that those she had seen in these visions were that of the Saints Michael, Catherine and Margaret.
Joan led the French army to a number of victories during the Hundred Years War against the English, including the lifting of the Siege at Orléans, where her title of "The Maid of Orléans" comes from. However Joan was captured by the Burgundians in 1430 and sold on to the English who put her on trial for heresy. Found guilty, Joan was burned at the stake at Rouen in 1431.

A number of years after her execution, Joan was declared innocent and a martyr by the Catholic Church. She was subsequently made a saint in 1920.
As a major historical figure, Joan has featured in a number of video games, such as a leader for the French in the Civilization series and features prominently in Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War, which is based around the time of her exploits. Games such as Jeanne d'Arc and Wars and Warriors have also been made based around the life of Joan herself.
