Courageous Facts About Joan of Arc, The Maid of Orleans

Joan of Arc was only 19 years old when she was sentenced to die. Though she lived a short life, it was a remarkable one: She was highly devout and took comfort in her faith, and helped to turn the tide for France against the British during the Hundred Years’ War. Her heroic deeds and unshakeable devotion to her cause have become legendary, but underneath the myths and stories is still a vulnerable teenage girl.
