Joan of Arc, also known as the Maid of Orleans, was a French national heroine of the 15th century. She led the French troops during the Hundred Years' War and helped secure the French throne before being captured by the English and eventually convicted of heresy. Her extraordinary story and mystical calling make her a fascinating figure in history.

Joan of Arc. Saint and Virgin. It's funny how a model of purity is portrayed as a heroine in such a depraved society.
