Joan_Of_Ark

Joan Of Ark There are many religious people who hear God’s call; one of the most famous was Joan of Arc. Joan stood up for what she believed in and never backed down. She courageously fought for her country’s sake and even in the face of death she still held strong. When facing death she replied, “I pray you, go to the nearest church, and bring me the cross, and hold it up level with my eyes until I am dead. I would have the cross on which God hung be ever before my eyes while life lasts in me. Jesus, Jesus!”(Trask 144). Joan of Arc is a very inspirational person and was a great leader, and without her the French would have never won the Hundred Years War. Before Joan was born, England and France fought over French land. This argument was called the Hundred Years War. England owned the land Aquitaine since the twelfth century. France wanted their land back but English did not want to give it up. The war was getting very expensive for the French. The French suffered from the defeat and they had to sign a terrible agreement.
