Description
Joan of Arc: A History
This gripping biography tells the story of Joan of Arc, a peasant girl who heard voices from God and led an army to victory in a time when women were not allowed to fight. Her life was marked by both triumph and tragedy, including her execution at the age of 19 and her later vindication.
Through the transcripts of her two trials, Helen Castor brings to life the extraordinary world in which Joan lived, where the course of events was shaped by the knowledge of what was to come. In this fresh and compelling narrative, Castor sets out to tell Joan's story in the order it actually happened, rather than in hindsight.
