The maid of Orleans, Jeanne d'Arc, better known for us as Joan of Arc, was a military
00:00:01
leader in France during 1429 and 1430.
00:00:11
She was born on January 6th 1412.
00:00:15
Her last name, of Arc, comes from her dad, Jacques d'Arc, though it is also found in
00:00:17
documents as d'Arc, d'Arc, d'Air, d'Ay, but translated, it's something like of
00:00:22
Arc.
00:00:27
along with his wife Isabelle Romée, owned 50 acres in the community of Domremy, in France.
00:00:28
Joan's dad, apart from being a farmer, also had a minor position as a village official,
00:00:34
heading the local watch.
00:00:39
When Joan of Arc was born, France was facing a long war against England, known as the Hundred
00:00:41
Years' War, an armed conflict that lasted for 116 years.
00:00:46
Its purpose was to decide who would control the great possessions the English monarchs
00:00:51
had accumulated since 1154 in French territory.
00:00:56
Since she was seven, John already knew she was special.
00:01:01
She used to say she had mystic visions that guided and protected her.
00:01:04
With time, they started becoming more vivid.
00:01:09
She could see Saint Catherine, Saint Margaret and Saint Michael.
00:01:12
These visions told her she had to be good and merciful, and they became more and more
00:01:16
epic each time.
00:01:20
In the first months of 1429, during the Hundred Years War and when the English were about
00:01:22
to conquer Orleans, those voices encouraged her to help the Dauphin, later on King of
00:01:27
France, Charles VII, who hadn't been crowned yet.
00:01:32
The voice, that of Saint Michael, the saint protector of France, told her that she'd
00:01:35
be the one to relieve the siege of Orleans, which had started in 1428.
00:01:40
Joan decided to accomplish her destiny, try to convince Robert de Badricourt, captain
00:01:45
of a royal garrison in the north of Don Remi, to provide her with escort to go to Orleans.
00:01:51
It took more than a year for that captain to help Joan, when he saw she had the support
00:01:56
of the people.
00:02:01
In 1429, he lent her a horse and escort of several soldiers.
00:02:02
Joan cut her hair and dressed as a man for her trip towards the war.
00:02:07
When she arrived, they were suspicious, but in the end, they accepted her in the battle
00:02:11
where the French ended up winning.
00:02:16
It is difficult to define clearly Joanne's role in the relief of Orleans.
00:02:18
Historians highlight two things.
00:02:23
She preferred the banner over the sword, and she meant a great moral impulse for her army.
00:02:25
Others say she was more than that.
00:02:31
She was a very talented tactician and a successful strategist, and she was only 17 years old.
00:02:33
After winning in Orleans, her new nickname was born, Joanne the Maid of Orleans.
00:02:40
And after this victory, came some others under her leadership, for Charles VII.
00:02:45
Until her final battle came.
00:02:50
On May 23rd 1430, she had to defend Compegne from an attack from the Burgundians, an allied
00:02:53
of the English.
00:02:59
This city was in front of a bridge, and it could be a potential siege point.
00:03:01
Joan commanded her army against the enemy forces, but they were bigger than expected
00:03:05
and managed to capture the prized maid of Orleans.
00:03:11
Joan of Arc was then taken to Rouen for her trial.
00:03:14
Between February 21st and March 24th, 1431, she was interrogated almost a dozen times
00:03:18
by a jury, where she was accused of heresy and subject to intense interrogations.
00:03:25
In total, up to 70 charges were presented against her, the most serious of all, that
00:03:31
of inventing false revelations and divine appearances.
00:03:36
In the end, she was accused of heresy and condemned to be burned at the stake on May
00:03:40
29th, 1431.
00:03:45
The next day, she was executed in front of around 10.000 people.
00:03:47
She was 19 years old.
00:03:51
Joanne lived a life full of mysticism and her death couldn't be any different.
00:03:53
There is a legend that says her heart survived the fire with no damage.
00:03:58
Some years later, Charles VII, having already won the war, asked for a revision of the trial
00:04:04
and Joan was freed of all charges.
00:04:09
In 1920, she was declared a saint and patron saint of France by Benedict XV.
00:04:12
The War of the Hundred Years was one of the longest and hardest conflicts in the history
00:04:18
of humanity, and even though Joan didn't win the war, she did change things completely,
00:04:23
in an almost-defeated France to start a counter-attack stronger than ever.
