Jeanne d’Arc

A young girl from Domrémy, she claimed to hear voices urging her to save France from English forces during the Hundred Years' War when she was thirteen. Years later, she gained an audience with the Dauphin, which led to military campaigns that helped relieve the siege of Orléans and support his claim to the throne. Captured by the English, she was tried for heresy and executed by burning at nineteen.
