The Angel of Lorraine
If anyone wrote a story telling of a humble peasant girl emerging from nowhere to lead the demoralized armies of the most powerful nation in Europe to victory in a few months over a previously unconquerable foe, it would be dismissed as too incredible to be worth reading.
Yet this really did happen.
The remarkable career of Joan of Arc, as she became known to the English, has no parallel in world history.
Her story is also one of the best documented events in Medieval Europe, with a wealth of contemporary records showing how she rose to power.
