Joan of Arc: A Heroic Figure in Medieval History This image depicts Joan of Arc, the legendary French heroine who played a pivotal role in the Hundred Years' War between France and England during the 15th century. Born in eastern France around 1412, Joan claimed divine guidance and donned a feather-topped helmet and armor to lead the French army to several important victories. Joan of Arc, also known as the Maid of Orléans, emerged as a symbol of French nationalism and divine intervention during a time of great turmoil. At just 17 years old, she convinced the French crown to allow her to lead the army to relieve the besieged city of Orléans. Her military successes continued, and she was instrumental in the coronation of Charles VII as King of France in Reims in 1429. Despite her victories, Joan was eventually captured by the Burgundians and sold to the English. She was put on trial for heresy and cross-dressing in 1431, and was ultimately burned at the stake in Rouen. Her story has continued to captivate the world, inspiring countless works of art, literature, and film. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the iconic image of Joan of Arc in her armor, with feathers adorning her helmet and shoulders. Her determined expression and regal bearing serve as a testament to her courage and the indomitable spirit of the medieval period.
