Cruisin the Seine Lunch and Joan of Arc

Nice to spend the afternoon cruising. Beautiful sunny day. Afternoon lecture on Joan of Arc - "Joan of Arc was a French peasant girl born in 1412 who believed she was divinely called to help France during the Hundred Years’ War. At age 17, she convinced the Dauphin (future Charles VII) to let her lead troops, and she inspired a major victory at the Siege of Orléans in 1429. This helped Charles be crowned king. Captured by the English-allied Burgundians in 1430, she was handed over to the English, tried for heresy, and burned at the stake in 1431 at age 19. In 1920, she was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church."Baca lagi
