Joan of Arc.
Joan was born the daughter to Jacques d’Arc and Isabelle Romee with an elder brother Jean circa 1412 in Domremy, France. No other children were mentioned by history but it is fairly certain that her parents had at least two other daughters–Marguerite, who became a nun at age 16, and Catherine.
At this point in time, Joan’s family owned land around their village where they worked as laborers for the local lord–Olivier de Vouthon. As a teenager she lost her father to illness and when she was about 18 years old (about 1429) she began to have revelations telling her that she would help make France strong again.
