character sketch on joan of arc
Answers
Joan was a mere nineteen years old when she was executed.
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.

Answer:
Joan of Arc (French: Jeanne d’Arc[3][4] pronounced [ʒan daʁk]; c. 1412 – 30 May 1431),[5] nicknamed "The Maid of Orléans" (French: La Pucelle d'Orléans) or "Maid of Lorraine" (French: La Pucelle de Lorraine), is considered a heroine of France for her role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years' War, and was canonized as a saint. She was born to Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle Romée, a peasant family, at Domrémy in the Vosges of northeast France. Joan said that she received visions of the archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine of Alexandria instructing her to support Charles VII and recover France from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The as-yet-unanointed King Charles VII sent Joan to the Siege of Orléans as part of a relief army. She gained prominence after the siege was lifted only nine days later. Several additional swift victories led to Charles VII's consecration at Reims. This long-awaited event boosted French morale and paved the way for the final French victory at Castillon in 1453.
