Saint Joan

Joan of Arc is considered a heroine of France for her role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years' War, and was canonized as a saint. She was born to Jacques d'Arc and Isabelle Romée, a peasant family, at Domrémy in the Vosges of northeast France. Joan said that she received visions of the archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine of Alexandria instructing her to support Charles VII and recover France from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The as-yet-unanointed King Charles VII sent Joan to the Siege of Orléans as part of a relief army. She gained prominence after the siege was lifted only nine days later.

《圣女贞德》贞·德是法国的军事家，天主教圣人，法国的民族英雄。在英法百年战争（1337年－1453年）中她带领法兰西王国军队对抗英格兰王国军队的入侵，最后被捕并被处以火刑。20年后英格兰军队被彻底逐出法国时，贞德年老的母亲说服教宗加理多三世重新审判贞德的案子，最终于1456年为她平反。1920年，教宗本笃十五世将贞德封为圣女。
