Nicknamed "The Maid of Orleans" was a peasant girl born in eastern France who claimed divine guidance.

She was captured by the Burgundians, transferred to the English for money, put on trial by the pro-English Bishop of Beauvais, and burned at the stake when she was 19 years old. She is one of the patron saints of France.
