Ah, Joan of Arc is literally Jeanne d'Arc-- its just that in French it is Jeanne d'Arc whereas in the apparent English translation it is Joan of Arc. Well, Jeanne was born a peasant girl who soon came to lead the French Army to several victories during the Hundred Years War. She was a folk heroine and also a Roman Catholic Saint. But due to her appearance at that time-- a short, boyish haircut, armor, men's clothing-- not many accepted her.

Unfortunately she was sentenced to death due for heresy (which means to believe in certain, and various parts of Philosophy which weren't really... how would you say it... "accepted" (?) by Christian, Jewish, Catholic e.t.c (I think depending on the religion of the person..)) and she was burnt on a stake for that reason.

Yeah pretty much, lol.
