Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc's impact as a leader was profound, as she inspired and rallied the demoralized French troops during a critical phase of the Hundred Years' War, ultimately contributing to the French victory at the Siege of Orléans in 1429. Her unwavering faith and determination bolstered the morale of her compatriots, instilling a renewed sense of hope and purpose in their fight against the English. Joan's leadership also paved the way for the coronation of Charles VII as the rightful king of France, solidifying her role as a national symbol and a symbol of resilience and courage.
