La Pucelle JOAN OF ARC, THE MAID OF ORLEANS Famous Heroines No. V. Posed by Pola Negri Everyone knows of the peasant girl of Domremy who watched her sheep on the hillside and saw the visions that raised her from the ranks of common mortals; that fired her with the divine determination to free her country of the English yoke; that placed her at the. head of the armies of France, which she led to unforgetable victory. She was finally betrayed into the hands of her enemies and burned at the stake in 1431, when she was just nineteen years old. Her true story reads like a golden legend. Her martyrdom was the most shameful in history, but her glory redeems the dark past. ( Twentyfire )
