The Catholic patron saint was responsible for turning the tide of the Hundred Years' War in the early 1400's. Joan said she received visions of the Archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine of Alexandria instructing her to support Charles VII and recover France from English domination. Her name and efforts are not only remembered as a fiercely patriotic warrior, but as her strength to fight as a woman despite the male-dominant dark age of Europe.
