Joan Of Arc's Tragic Final Words Before Her Execution
When Joan of Arc was 13, she began hearing voices, which she believed came from God and anointed her with a sacred mission to expel the English from her homeland. At the time, the English and their French allies, the Burgundians, controlled much of northern France. A peace treaty between the Burgundians and the English cut out Charles of Valois, the heir to the French throne. Joan's vision included restoring Charles to his rightful place as the king of France.
In February 1429, Joan went to Charles and convinced him to give her an army to stop the English and their allies, who had laid siege to the city of Orleans. In defiance of his counselors, Charles agreed, and that March, Joan led her soldiers to a stunning victory, saved Orleans, and helped Charles regain his crown. Soon Joan's prowess on the battlefield and mystical visions attracted supporters and enemies, both English and French.
