World History Biographies: Joan of Arc: The Teenager Who Saved Her Nation (National Geographic World History Biographies)

World History Biographies: Joan of Arc: The Teenager Who Saved Her Nation (National Geographic World History Biographies)

Around 1412, a baby girl was born in the village of DomrÃ©my who would change France forever. A farmerâ€™s daughter, she seemed destined for an unremarkable life. But as the dramatic narrative of this World History Biography reveals, Joanâ€™s life was anything but ordinary. By the age of 13, she knew her destinyâ€”to drive the English invaders from France. By 17, she had led an army to victory at OrlÃ©ans. Captured in battle, and too poor to be ransomed, Joan was burned at the stake before her 20th birthday.
