Jacques D'Arc
Jacques (or Jacquot) d'Arc (sometimes spelled ''Darc'', ''Dars'', ''Tart'', or ''Day''; 1375–1431) was a farmer from Domrémy, France who was the father of the French military leader and Catholic saint Joan of Arc. D'Arc is most known for being an influence on his daughter Joan's life, developing her leadership abilities through his example as a local government and military leader as well as restricting her ambitions with his controlling behaviour that resulted in a strained relationship between them. Life d'Arc was born in Ceffonds. His father was a farmer who owned 50 acres of land. He married Isabelle Romée, a landowner and sister of a church official, with whom he raised their five children (in birth order: Jacquemin, Jean, Catherine, Jeanne, and Pierre) in Domrémy. D'Arc achieved some level of power and respect in Domrémy. He was appointed as "dean", a local government official with administrative and military responsibilities that sometimes involved diplomatic tri ...

Reims
Reims ( , , ; also spelled Rheims in English) is the most populous city in the French department of Marne, and the 12th most populous city in France. The city lies northeast of Paris on the Vesle river, a tributary of the Aisne. Founded by the Gauls, Reims became a major city in the Roman Empire. Reims later played a prominent ceremonial role in French monarchical history as the traditional site of the coronation of the kings of France. The royal anointing was performed at the Reims Cathedral, Cathedral of Reims, which housed the Holy Ampulla of chrism allegedly brought by a white dove at the baptism of Frankish king Clovis I in 496. For this reason, Reims is often referred to in French as ("the Coronation City"). Reims is recognized for the diversity of its heritage, ranging from Romanesque architecture, Romanesque to Art Deco, Art-déco. Reims Cathedral, the adjacent Palace of Tau, and the Abbey of Saint-Remi were listed together as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991 ...

Medieval French Nobility
In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or medieval period lasted approximately from the late 5th to the late 15th centuries, similar to the post-classical period of global history. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and transitioned into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period. The medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages. Population decline, counterurbanisation, the collapse of centralized authority, invasions, and mass migrations of tribes, which had begun in late antiquity, continued into the Early Middle Ages. The large-scale movements of the Migration Period, including various Germanic peoples, formed new kingdoms in what remained of the Western Roman Empire. In the 7th century, North Africa and the Middle East—most recently part of the Eastern Roma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Name Of Joan Of Arc
Due to inconsistent record keeping and different contemporary customs, the name of Joan of Arc at birth is not known for certain. Explanation Joan of Arc did not come from a place called ''Arc'', but was born and raised in the village of Domrémy in what was then the northeastern frontier of the Kingdom of France. In the English language her first name has been repeated as ''Joan'' since the fifteenth century because that was the only English equivalent for the feminine form of ''John'' during her lifetime. Her surviving signatures are all spelled in the middle French form ''Jehanne'' without surname. In modern French, her name is always rendered as ''Jeanne d'Arc'', reflecting spelling changes due to the evolution of the language over time. Her given name at birth is also sometimes written as "Jeanneton" or "Jeannette", with Joan of Arc possibly having removed the diminutive suffix ''-eton'' or ''-ette'' in her teenage years. The surname ''of Arc'' is a translation of ''d'Arc,'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
