Anybody knows who this is? Let me give you a tip: this photo was taken by Lisa Paul from Trinity College – Tuesday just a few blocks from the hotel.Joan of Arc – a French hero – who led the French army several important victories during the 100 Years War against the BritishShe claimed divine guidance – I have insider information too, but the source isn’t God – but university and publication officers, communication directors and web communications managers who completed my surveys about the state of print and electronic publication over the years.Saint Joan of Arc or The Maid of Orléans (French: Jeanne d'Arc,[1] IPA: [ʒandaʁk]; ca. 1412[2] – 30 May 1431) is considered a national heroine of France and a Catholicsaint. A peasant girl born in eastern France who claimed Divine guidance, she led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War which paved the way for the coronation of Charles VII. She was captured by the Burgundians, sold to the English, tried by an ecclesiastical court, and burned at the stake when she was nineteen years old.[3] Twenty-five years after the execution, Pope Callixtus III examined the trial, pronounced her innocent and declared her a martyr.[3] She was beatified in 1909 and canonized in 1920.[2] She is, along with St. Denis, St. Martin of Tours, St. Louis IX, and St. Theresa of Lisieux, one of the patron saints of France.Joan asserted that she had visions from God which instructed her to recover her homeland from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent her to the siege of Orléans as part of a relief mission. She gained prominence when she overcame the dismissive attitude of veteran commanders and lifted the siege in only nine days. Several more swift victories led to Charles VII's coronation at Reims and settled the disputed succession to the throne.
