Joan of Arc, a peasant girl born around 1412 in France, is a national heroine known for her role during the Hundred Years' War. Claiming to have received visions from saints instructing her to support Charles VII, she played a crucial role in lifting the siege of Orléans and facilitating his coronation as king. Captured by the Burgundians in 1430, she was later handed over to the English and tried for heresy, leading to her execution in 1431. Joan was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church in 1920.
