Summary "Jeanne d'Arc, Maid of Orleans, Deliverer of France" by T. Douglas Murray is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details the life, achievements, and trial of Jeanne d'Arc, a pivotal figure in French history renowned for her leadership during the Hundred Years' War. The narrative seeks to illuminate both her extraordinary military successes and the dark circumstances surrounding her capture and subsequent trial. The opening of the text establishes Jeanne d'Arc as a significant historical figure, introducing her humble beginnings in Domremy and the socio-political turmoil in France at the time. It highlights her divine visions and the mission she undertook to save France from English domination, detailing her ascension from a peasant girl to a military leader. The text also sets the stage for her trial, indicating the unique biographical record derived from contemporary testimonies, with a promise that the trials and tribulations she faced will be thoroughly examined in the following chapters. This early context not only paints a vivid image of Jeanne's character but also introduces the challenges she encountered as she sought to fulfill her divine purpose amidst skepticism and betrayal.
