Joan of Arc: A Saint and a Heroine
Most memorable historic figures from the West include revolutionaries, rebels, ruthless dictators or royal leaders. However, there is more to what meets the eye. There were others who emerged from the bottom of the social order to make a change. Joan of Arc Saints was an exemplary leader who wanted the best for her beloved country of France while teaching others how to behave with honor, courage, honesty and glory.
Joan of Arc was the average French country girl until the day she was spiritually touched the by invasion and horrors caused by the English invasion in France. She claimed that she was touched by God and asked a fight with honor in his name to defend her country against the invading English. Through her tough yet inspiring journey, she fought until the day of her death where she was burned at the steak due accusations and skepticism that arose about her religious motivation.
After her death, Joan of Arc was considered a saint and a heroine. She helped save the French from the English command, gave her blood and finally died for her beliefs and her country. She was also referred to as the Maid Orleans and the Maid of France. Her inspiration led the French to many victories posterior to her death.
Joan of Arc is not only one of the most memorable figures in history but she is also one of my favorites. Although I do not practice religion, I believe that her courage came from within her to help save her country and fight for her beliefs. One of the most amazing things of the story of this heroic figure was that at the time when Joan of Arc was alive, women were unnoticed; especially peasants and country women, but regardless of the limitations, she broke through the boundaries for women at the time. She fought for what she believed, ultimately leading France to an improbable victory against the English as helped shape world
