    Saint Joan of Arc or The Maid of Orléans (Jeanne d'Arc,[2][3]c. 6 January 1412 – 30 May 1431) was a nationalheroine of France. She is also a Catholicsaint. She was a peasant girl born in the east of France. Joan said that she had visions from God. In these visions, she said that God told her to take back her home, which was then under English rule late in the Hundred Years' War. Many quick military victories made her famous. In 1430, soldiers of Burgundy captured her and gave her to her English enemies.
