A French saint and a heroine in the Hundred Years' war was Joan of Arc.
This farm girl helped save the French from English command and was often called
the Maid Orleans and the Maid of France. Her inspiration led the French to many
victories.
Joan Of Arc (In French Jeanne d'Arc) was born around 1412, in the
village of Domremy, France. She was a peasant girl who, like many girls of that
time, could not read or write. Her father, Jacques, was a wealthy tenant farmer
and her mother, Isabelle Romee, taught her how to sow, spin, and cook which she
was proud of. She also spent much of her time praying to and serving God. She
lived like most children did at that time, until when she was about thirteen.
According to Wagenknecht: "The Vision first came when she was first
thirteen...." 1 The vision was Saint Michael who said she should be a good
girl and go to church. When more and more Visions had come it started coming
clearer to her and when she saw Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret her duty was
clear, she was the chosen one to crown Charles the VII. 2
Since France had been fighting with England in what was called the
Hundred Years' War, much of Northern France was captured by the English,
including Reims where the coronation for kings had been held for over centuries
before him. Since Reims was captured, Charles the VII, who had not yet been
crowned; was still called the Dauphin. When Joan had these visions of Saint
Catherine and Saint Margaret, she told her family and friends. When she told
her father, he would not let her go. After when these Visions told her that
England and Burgundy, England's ally, were going to capture Orleans, one of
France's last strong forces, she knew she had to react. She needed to go to the
governor of Vaucouleurs, an agent of the Dauphin, and convince him to give her
an army to escort her to the Dauphin.
She first needed an escort to come with her to see the governor so she
asked her cousin, Durand Laxart. He, at first, was skeptical about it, but then
he soon came to Joan's side. When she told the governor, Robert de Baudricourt,
he said she was a fool and she should go home. But after some time of waiting,
Baudri-court let her go, under his protection, to the Dauphin with male
clothing, a sword, 3 a safe conduct pass, and a small escort. They departed

She was handed over to Pierre Cauchon, bishop of Beauvais, on January
3rd, 1431. The sittings had begun on February 21 and continued over a period of
months. She was held in chains, harassed by countless questions, and threatened
with torture over this period of months; Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret
still gave her advice through all this. On May 24, 1431, Joan was taken to the
cemetery where she she was to been burned at the stake unless she recanted,
which she did. This is not really to clear to historians why she did that, but
many believe that she did not understand what the recant meant. Wagenknecht
stated that "Her own view, after she was herself again, or perhaps one should
say her report and interpretation of the view of her Voices in that matter, was
that she had imperiled her soul to save her life: 'It was the fear of the fire
which made me say what I did." 7 After her recanting she was sentenced from
death to life of imprisonment. Of her being treated so softly, the English were
furious. Joan had thought she was going 10 to be sent free but instead Cauchon
sentenced her to perpetual imprisonment.

B. Joan of Arc women, but have you ever read about a female general who led her troops against the enem and won? There are not many of them, and in medieval Europe there was only one loan of Arc, who was she? And how did it happen that a young girl who never learned to read and write became a general? At that time there were many wars between England and France to decide who should rule France. In i428 the English had almost won and there seemed to be no hope for the French. Then something strange happened. A 17-year-old girl came to the French King Charles VII and told him that she had been sent by God to drive the English out of France and to see him crowned. The girl was loan of Arc Joan of Arc is one of the most romantic figures
In the beginning in Domremy, France January 6, 1412, Joan d’Arc was born into a poor family in which her father, Jacques, and her mother, Isabelle, raised on a farm. Joan grew up living with her father, mother, and brother. Growing up Joan learned to help with things on the farm and sewing, taught by her father. Joan also went to Church and was very religious because of her mother. It’s been told that Joan didn’t learn to read or write and
was that he wished she had been a boy. Her high hope of working with her husband
The break of the siege on Orléans was due largely to Joan’s involvement and it was her first great triumph. The fate of France rested on Orléans, as it was the key to gaining control of the rest of the country. In 1429, the Duke of Bedford, an Englishman, had laid siege to Orléans and was preparing the way to attack the dauphin at Bourges. The scales were about to tip in favor of the English when Joan first entered the records (Clin, 3). Joan said that as a young child she had desired for her king to have his kingdom but she only took up arms to fight once the saints instructed her to do so (Halsall). Many of the French captains were hesitant to follow a peasant and a girl but her plans always seemed to work (Schmalz). Joan proposed the idea of collapsing one of the arches on the bridge to isolate the English fortr...
When a story like this comes about in the public, everyone can think of everything Emily did wrong or how atrocious the crime was but no many will understand why she would do such a thing. She was living in a town with people who took their religion for seriously and lived by it faithfully. Whatever was not done in the religion or around it was wrong and offended them easily. The community she lived in were not welcoming and carrying people that she could socialize with. Grierson did not have any friends throughout her life because of the way she was raised, by an overbearing father that took control of her mind.
Joan lived during a turbulent time in French history. The French and English states had been at war since 1337 over disputed territories in France and who could inherit the French throne. The English claimed that their king could inherit the French throne through shared royal bloodlines and also inherit vast territories in present-day southwestern France. By the time of Joan’s birth, the English had secured almost all of France and were poised to capture the French crown. The French heir to the throne, the Dauphin, was forced into hiding and Paris was under English control. It was under these dire circumstances that Joan emerged.
After a small victory of reclaiming Melun, her voices forebodes that she’ll be captured before the Feast of St. John, which comes true as she is captured on May 23, 1430, after she was pulled off her horse. Joan is soon imprisoned in Beaulieu and then to Beaurevoir by Jean de Luxembourg, but she is treated kindly by his aunt, wife, and daughter, who weren't able to stop Jean from selling her to the English, and then in December, Joan is sent to the Rouen, Normandy to be on trial in January 1431 that would continue for three months by Bishop Cauchon and churchmen from the University of Paris, who fearing Joan’s independence from the Church and her power, with mainly “evidence” from English and Burgundian tales of Joan’s witchcraft, Joan’s voices, and male dress alongside her other sins of attacking on a holy day and attempting suicide, accuse her of being a witch, a heretic, and a tool of the Devil. To their surprise, Joan’s calmly responded to each answer and swore on the Gospel that she’ll tell the truth, but she’ll not reveal any information about her revelations, which alongside her refusal to answer some of their questions convinced them that Joan was indeed not telling the truth. Finally, when Joan describes
Joan of Arc was born in a small village that that laid between both occupied French and Burgundians (who were loyal to the English) territories called Domremie in 1412. Her parents were very devoutly religious who were farmers and her father also performed tax collecting and headed the local watch for protection of the village. Joan was very young and started hearing voices calling for her to assist the French army and the Dauphin (the uncrowned king of France), Charles VII. Those voices were said to be of St. Michael, St Catherine, and St. Margaret. In 1428 Joan of Arc traveled to Vaucouleurs and asked for permission to talk with the Dauphin and was turned away. One year later she returned and was finally heard.
Catherine of Siena was born in Italy in 1347 at a time when political and religious changes were affecting the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. Dedicating her life to the Holy Spirit from a very young age, Catherine pursued a life of purity and simplicity that served as a background to her great literary work, The Dialogue of the Divine Providence . Her work focuses on the importance of prayer and its transcendent power in human life.

In this case, a large health services organization (HSO) in Florida, that has a world-renowned AIDS treatment center had information breach of 4,000 HIV+ patient records, and the list was sent to newspapers, magazines, and the internet. Consequently, this issue was featured in every media vehicle in the world and as CEO, you are requested by the board of trustees to come up a better management information system (MIS) to resolve all information security issues or you will face termination. After hiring an undercover computer security consultant to help determine where the security leak came from, she quickly identifies numerous breaches in computer security and provides a report with the issues identified. The report furnished by the consultant revealed that facility had major problems with the MIS and the staff. In order to determine how to address the issues, the CEO must first answer the following questions: what law is being violated by the employees, why was this law enacted, what are the penalties for such violations, what are the penalties for sharing celebrity information, and should he be updating his resume and looking for another job (Buchbinder, 378).
