Jeanne d'Arc, the first heroine who took part in the 100 years' war. She was born in Domremy(France) in 1412 and she had a difficult childhood because France was involved in a big war called the war of the 100 years.
When she was 13, she saw three saints: Mickel, Catherine and Margaret who told her to live in a good and helpful way. A few years later, she was called by God to command the French army.
Years after, when the French king was in Chinon, Jeanne decided to visit him and told him that she wanted to command the army. Eventhough he first denied it, he offered her 5000 men to fight against the British and she won lots of fights.
Before going back home, she decided to fight once more but she was captured and was condemned for witch craft and she was burned in a bonfire.
What I admire most about her is her fighting spirit; she was strong, she was a fighter and she was a wonderful woman who sacrified her freedom to defend her nation.
