Instead of the icon, she gives us a living, breathing young woman; a roaring girl fighting the English, and taking sides in a bloody civil war that was tearing fifteenth century France apart. Here is a portrait of a 19-year-old peasant who hears voices from God; a teenager transformed into a warrior leading an army to victory, in an age that believed women should not fight. And it is also the story behind the myth we all know, a myth which began to take hold at her trial: that of the Maid of Orleans, the saviour of France, a young woman burned at the stake as a heretic, a woman who five hundred years later would be declared a saint. Joan and her world are brought vividly to life in this refreshing new take on the medieval world. Helen Castor brings us to the heart of the action, to a woman and a country in turmoil, a world where no-one -- not Joan herself, nor the people around her, princes, bishops, soldiers or peasants -- knew what would happen next."--Provided by publisher. 600 00 $a Joan, $c of Arc, Saint, $d 1412-1431. 650 0 $a Christian women saints $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Christian saints $z France $v Biography. 651 0 $a France $x History $y Charles VI, 1380-1422. 651 0 $a France $x History $y Charles VII, 1422-1461. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826103030.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=05BA0E386B5611E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
