1431: Joan of Arc martyred

At Rouen, Joan of Arc, the peasant girl who became the saviour of France, is burned at the stake for heresy. At the age of 16, voices of Christian saints told Joan to aid Charles, the French dauphin, in gaining the French throne and expelling the English from France. Convinced of the validity of her divine mission, Charles furnished Joan with a small force of troops. During the next two months, Joan led the French into a series of stunning victories over the English. In July 1429, Reims, the traditional city of coronation, was captured, and Charles VII was crowned king, with Joan kneeling at his feet. In 1430, while leading another military expedition against the English, Bourguignon soldiers captured her and sold her to the English, who tried her for heresy. One of the great heroes of French history, Joan of Arc was canonised by the Roman Catholic Church in 1920.
