For this project I have to illustrate the life story of St Joan of Arc. A very quick synopsis of her life is as follows: she was born in france in about 1412, she saw visions of angels who told her to drive the english out of France. She lead the french army to important victories in the latter part of the Hundred year war, in particular relieving the Siege of Orleans in 1428-29. She was later captured, imprisoned and put on trial by the english. She was burnt at the stake for sorcery and heresy in 1431 aged nineteen. She was canonised in 1920.
