Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc was born in 1412 in Domrémy, France. She lived during the period in which Britain and France were at war for 100 years. During this time Britain won most of the battles. Because France is desperate they send Joan of Arc to the battle field in the front line. After she wins her first battle (battle of Orléans) she is mocked by fellow knights because she was a woman. Joan of Arc was infuriated by the remarks and attempted to cut her hair to show that she was just like them. Joan Won many battles in her short life giving France a chance to defeat the British. However in 1431 she was captured by the British allies and burned on a steak for Witchcraft. Joan if Arc inspired French generals to come and left a great impact on French history.
