Joan of Arc Born at Domremy
January 6, 1412
In a village on the Meuse, at the ragged edge of Armagnac France, a peasant girl was born who would hear voices from the age of thirteen and die in fire at nineteen. Her father farmed; her mother taught her the Pater Noster. Nothing else about her childhood was remarkable.
