Joan of Arc, epic of a Medieval Heroine ~Women Wednesdays~

in voilk •  4 months ago

    Hello friends of the community @hive-140084, today the article is dedicated to a well-known woman in history, Joan of Arc. Juana's will and her determination marked what was known as the Hundred Years' War.

    Joan was born in Domrémy in northern France in 1412. Joan had a short life but a social importance that continues to this day. She became known by claiming that she had seen visions of her that challenged her to help Charles VII regain the throne of France and fight to free it from the English. Well this is exactly like that since that time was more a fight between royal families than between countries. The king of England also had the support of an important French faction "The Burgundians" but this would make for a much longer article.

    Returning to Juana, she is still a teenager. Thanks to her determination, she managed to convince the dolphin Carlos to give her some men to liberate Orleans. Against all odds I achieved it. Which changed the sign of the war.
    Unfortunately for her, this was a very turbulent time and betrayals were the order of the day. Juana's popularity made her dangerous even to those she helped which was fatal for her. Mainly the church that she worshiped so much.
    In 1430 she was captured by the Burgundians and they handed her over to the English who put her on trial for witchcraft and she was burned at the stake in 1431 when she was only 19 years old.

    But Joan of Arc's legacy endures to this day as a symbol of perseverance, courage and resistance. Beyond sharing her motivations and beliefs, Juana represents these aforementioned values universally.
