WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Joan of Arc (French: Jeanne d’Arc pronounced [ʒan daʁk]; c. 1412 – 30 May 1431) is a patron saint of France, honored as a defender of the French nation for her role in the siege of Orléans and her insistence on the coronation of Charles VII of France during the Hundred Years’ War.

Detailed explanation-2: -Joan of Arc’s Early Life She was not taught to read or write, but her pious mother, Isabelle Romée, instilled in her a deep love for the Catholic Church and its teachings.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Hundred Years’ War (French: La guerre de Cent Ans; 1337–1453) was a series of armed conflicts between the kingdoms of England and France during the Late Middle Ages. It originated from disputed claims to the French throne between the English House of Plantagenet and the French royal House of Valois.

Detailed explanation-4: -Joan’s real name was Jehanne d’Arc, Jehanne Tarc, Jehanne Romée or possibly Jehanne de Vouthon-but she didn’t go by any of these. Joan didn’t hail from a place called Arc, as the typical Anglicization of her father’s surname, d’Arc (sometimes rendered as Darc or Tarc), might imply.

Detailed explanation-5: -Though illiterate, she could sign her name. When she did, she signed it “Johanne” or Jehanne.” It was the French feminine form of “John” which was translated to “Joan” by her English captors. She didn’t come from any place named Arc but was born and raised in Domrémy in northeastern France.
