I chose to research Joan of Arc___,__ because I think she would be interesting to research. I enjoyed researching Joan,she was a fasinating Christian who strongly belived in God. Joan heard voices in her head that she thought was Saints. I was looking in the book store when I saw a Joan of Arc book. I asked my mother if we could get it for my report. As soon as I got it I started the research! She was very,very interesting!

__This famous women Joan was born__ Around January in 1412. Joan was born in northeastern France Domre'my. Joan had many brothers and sisters and her father was a farmer. This all was in the 15th centery. Joan and her family was respected all throughout the village.

__Her early years were spent__ helping her father with the crops, doing chores, and cooking meals with her mother. It was hard for Joan to get a good education consitring this was in the middle ages. Every Sunday and sometimes Saturday she would go to Church. Sometimes Joan would play with her brothers and sisters. Or sometimes Joan would just read a book. Joan had many friends to. People saw her as a kind sweet indavidual.

__Her later years were spent__ Listening to the voices, the voices Joan thought were Saints. Then she asked Charles, ( would be King Charles but not yet crowned ) if she could lead an army. At first it took Charles time to think about it and eventually agreed to the idea. Joan wanted to free the countries ruled by England. Her and her men road on their horses and her headed off to Orle'ans in more notheastern France. When the English saw Joans's army, they surrendered.

__Her accomplishments include__ __ Joan freeing many countries ruled by the English. Also Joan put Charles on the throne and was there for his crownation. She won more battles with King Charles's permission though him loosing money. He was loosing money because he was giving it to Joan for her men. In the middle of a war for a countries freedome most of her men deserted her because there was not much food left. So now she only had 3 or 400 men on her side,loyal. When Joan was killed Charles said "We killed a Saint!"
