Hello there! :)

Joan of Arc was a true heroine and patriot for France with the role she played during the Lancastrian time of the Hundred Years’ War, and as a bonus was also a canonized Saint later after her death in the Roman Catholic Church.

Quick history lesson, she was born to Jacques d’Arc and Isabelle Romèe, a poor, peasant family in Domrèmy in north-east France.

Hope this helps and good luck! ;)
