What's her story?
At that time, King Charles VII was still uncrowned however, he sent Joan to the siege of Orleans as part of a relief mission.
She got prominence just after the siege was lifted in only nine days with several additional of continuous victories led to Charles VII's coronation at Reims. Sadly, she was captured on 23rd May 1430 by the Compiègne, the English-allied Burgundian faction. She was later handed over to the English and was put to trial by the pro-English Bishop of Beauvais Pierre Cauchon on many charges. It was then convicted on 30 May 1431 and she was then burned at the stake when she was about 19 years old.
