Joan of Arc, born in 1412, was a French peasant girl who believed she was on a divine mission from the saints. She aggressively led the French to several decisive victories over the English during the Hundred Years' War, and is considered a 15th century French heroine. At the age of 19, in 1431, she was tried for heresy and then burned at the stake. In 1909 she was beatified, and in 1920 canonized as a saint.
