Joan of Arc is a famous woman in history revered by the French who fought in the Hundred Years War. She was captured at the age of 19 and executed by the English. After her execution, England never regained ground in the war. The French eventually won the war and reclaimed the land they lost to the English. This caused England to retreat to being an island nation. <span />
