Jeanne d'Arc

/ ʒɑn dark /

When Jeanne d'Arc was born life was hard and dangerous in Domremy.

From childhood Jeanne had taken a great interest in tales of warlike valour; she always revered Jeanne d'Arc as a saint.

The fame of Jeanne d'Arc preceded her; and the king awaited with impatience the arrival of his extraordinary visitor.

The deliverer who appeared at this critical moment was Jeanne d'Arc, a peasant girl from Lorraine.

Even those who refuse to admit that Jeanne D'Arc possessed supernatural powers, regard his conduct with abhorrence.
