Joan was born in a village raided by Burgundians. Raids were frequent, and one time even the village got burned down. When she was twelve, she recieved her call. She saw visions of supernatural figures who told her to drive out the English and bring the Dauphin for his coronation. She was inactive for about 4 years, when, at the age of 16, she convinced the captain of the dauphin's army to let her lead. They gave her a few tests, and she passed them all. She became so feared, that when Lord Talbot's army faced her, most fled the battle, including the commander. However, it was not to last. She was captured and sold to the English, where she was tried for witchcraft because she wore mens clothes. Because she refuse to take them off (for various reasons), she was burned at the stake.
This explanation needs to be a lot more detailed. Each step ought to be identied and explained.
