Joan of Arc was born into a farming family in 1412. As a young girl, Joan heard “voices” of saints and angels. The voices told her that she must restore the rightful king to the throne of France. In 1429, when she was only 17, she led the French army to victory at Orléans.
Joan led her country’s troops in other successful battles, but in 1430 she was caught by a powerful group of French people from Burgundy. They sold her to the English, who imprisoned her and charged her with heresy –a crime for not believing in the official teachings of the Church. Joan was found guilty, and 1431, she was executed in Rouen by being burned.
During the Second World War, the fighters of the French Resistance movement adopted Joan of Arc’s symbol, a red cross, because they had the same objective: to expel the foreign invaders.
