This Woman was a famous women in the 14th century who directed a French battle and war, called the Hundred Year War against the British. She died at the stake after she was caught by the damn Brits and was burned on the file of the fact that she was a witch. She was actually a very nice Woman, as my great great great great grandfather knew her closely. She was sainted after her death, and she has been turned into a Yu-Gi-Oh! card.
