EDITORS COMMENTS
Joan of Arc: The Maid of Orléans (1412-1431), a heroic figure in French history, is depicted in this evocative image from the annals of the past. The card, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, presents a powerful and inspiring portrayal of the young woman who defied the odds and changed the course of history. Born in Eastern France in 1412, Joan of Arc was a simple peasant girl who claimed divine guidance from the age of thirteen. Driven by her visions and a deep sense of duty, she left her home to rally the French forces against the English occupation. With her unwavering courage and military prowess, she led the French army to a series of victories, most notably the Battle of Orléans in 1429, which marked the turning point of the Hundred Years' War. The image captures the intensity and determination of this extraordinary woman, clad in her iconic armor and holding her standard, the banner of St. George and St. Michael. Her fierce gaze and resolute stance convey the unyielding spirit that made her a symbol of hope and resistance. Joan of Arc's legacy extends far beyond the battlefield. She was captured by the Burgundians in 1430 and later put on trial by the English and the Church for heresy. Despite being found guilty and sentenced to burn at the stake, her conviction was posthumously reversed in 1456. Today, she is revered as a national heroine and a patron saint of France, celebrated for her unwavering faith and her role in uniting the country during a time of crisis. This card is a testament to the enduring power of Joan of Arc's story and the indomitable spirit she embodies. It serves as a reminder of the courage and resilience that lies within each of us, and the ability to defy the odds and change the course of history.
