Joan of Arc: Maid of Orleans Joan of Arc is one of the most compelling people in history. Joan, a young illiterate peasant girl was not in any way remarkable during her early childhood. Nothing in her early life would suggest she would be anything else but a medieval peasant girl, living the average medieval life for her class. The time period and country to which she was born into was quite tumultuous. The English had taken much of France and it was starting to become clear that all of France would be taken over. In this sense, her world could be turned upside down at any moment. It was during this time that Joan suddenly had her visions; spiritual visions that would set her on a path to war, a path mandated by God...A path of no return. She was given the task of liberating France from the English. In this book, we will cover, ever so briefly, the great life of Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans.
