Joan of Arc's Prophecy and Mission
Joan of Arc, a teenage peasant girl, receives visions and revelations from saints and angels, declaring her the savior of France. She believes herself to be the maiden from the forest who will save her people. Inspired by her divine mission, Joan convinces the Dauphin of France to grant her an army and leads successful campaigns against the English, liberating the city of Orleans and securing the Dauphin's coronation. Despite her victories, Joan's influence wanes, and she is eventually captured, put on trial, accused of heresy, blasphemy, and witchcraft, and ultimately executed at the age of 19.
