Origin[]
Joan of Arc, called Jeanne d'Arc in French, 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. Claiming to be acting under divine guidance, she became a military leader and gained recognition as a savior of France. She was labeled a heretic and burned at the stake, becoming a martyr for her nation.
