Joan of Arc

Convinced by the voices of saints to step forth and serve her deposed king Joan of Arc became an unlikely war hero. With 10000 beaten men and very long odds against the advancing English army she scored a miraculous string of victories over the rather surprised English battalions by leading the charge into their front lines. She even returned the throne to Charles VII but it all went horribly wrong when she was finally captured tried for witchcraft and heresy and burned at the stake.
