But her life has been so endlessly cast and recast that we have lost sight of the remarkable girl at the heart of it-a teenaged peasant girl who, after claiming to hear voices, convinced the French king to let her lead a disheartened army into battle. In the process she changed the course of European history.In The Virgin Warrior, Larissa Juliet Taylor paints a vivid portrait of Joan as a self-confident, charismatic and supremely determined figure, whose sheer force of will electrified those around her and struck terror into the hearts of the English soldiers and leaders. The drama of Joan's life is set against a world where visions and witchcraft were real, where saints could appear to peasants, battles and sieges decided the fate of kingdoms and rigged trials could result in burning at the stake. Yet in her short life, Joan emboldened the French soldiers and villagers with her strength and resolve. A difficult, inflexible leader, she defied her accusers and enemies to the end. From her early years to the myths and fantasies that have swelled since her death, Taylor teases out a nuanced and engaging story of the truly irresistible "ordinary" girl who rescued France. 606 $aChristian women saints$zFrance$vBiography 606 $aWomen soldiers$zFrance$vBiography 607 $aFrance$xHistory$yCharles VII, 1422-1461 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristian women saints 615 0$aWomen soldiers 676 $a944/.026092 700 $aWilken$b Robert Louis$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0153684 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461771303321 996 $aThe Virgin Warrior$92469426 997 $aUNINA
