JOAN OF ARC (PART 1) THE PROPHECY

In 1425 France was reeling from decades of war with with England and almost all hope was gone, The French people, never giving up hope, found solace in an old prophecy that had come from centuries ago. The prophecy stated "A woman shall loose France...but it shall be redeemed once again by a virgin from the border of Lorraine". The first part of the prophecy had been fulfilled when the Queen of France, Queen Isabeau, had committed the ultimate treason- she had signed a treaty with the King of England declaring that her eldest son Charles was illegitimate and promised the hand of the next in line to succession, her daughter Catherine, to the King of England, As city after city fell to the invading army of England, all hope rested on the 26 year old Dauphin Charles, who refused to give up his right to the throne despite his mother's dealings with England. At the same time a young peasant girl from a small village of Donremy near the border of Lorraine had a series of visions in which God had asked her to drive the English out of France and see to it that Charles was crowned King. She had everything against her from the start- but she had two enduring qualities-faith and courage.
