She was born about 1412, and from the age of twelve claimed to see visions of and hear the voices of Saints Catherine, Michael, and Margaret (one of the less understood aspects of her life -- either she was lying, or she was mentally ill in some way, or had Meniere's syndrome (which affects the inner ear) or God really was telling her to drive out the English: [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane the reader can draw their own conclusions]] [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment without stating them here]]), who she said told her to drive out the English and bring Charles VII to Reims, then under English control, for his coronation in the city's cathedral.
