Jeanne d'Arc also known as Joan of Arc was born in 1412. Joan was born in a small French town called Domremy. Joan headed the French army in the siege of Orleans. After her victory, she persuaded the king to have the French army co-commanded by Duke John II of Alencon. On the 16th of July, the Gates of Reims were opened and Charles VII was coronated. Joan loved the field of battle and when wounded in a battle, refused to give up. She was taken prisoner at a skirmish and was convicted of heresy and burned at the stake. She was only 19 when she died.
