Around 1423, The House of Christ Society concocted a plan to create a chosen one, a figure who would inspire the masses and lead them to victory. They carefully orchestrated series of events and encounters for Joan with their agents, who posed as divine messengers.

At the age of 13, under the influence of drugs and carefully crafted illusions, Joan began to believe that she was communing with angels and receiving divine instructions.

These visions were primarily from three saints: Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Catherine of Alexandria, and Saint Margaret of Antioch. These spiritual experiences were a turning point in her life, as they provided her with a sense of purpose and a divine calling.

In her visions, Joan claimed that these saints instructed her to support Charles VII, the Dauphin of France and the legitimate heir to the French throne, during the tumultuous period of the Hundred Years' War. France was in a state of political turmoil and was facing military defeats against the English and their Burgundian allies. Charles VII's claim to the throne was contested, and he had not yet been crowned king.

Joan's divine voices and visions urged her to take an active role in the conflict and work to expel the English from France. According to her visions, she was to lead Charles to his coronation in Reims, the traditional site for the anointing of French kings. This was a significant undertaking, as the coronation would lend legitimacy to Charles' rule and strengthen his position as the true king of France.

The society's carefully constructed plan was set in motion, as Joan's influence grew, and the tides of war began to shift.

But amidst the fervor and the glory, the true intentions of the House of Christ Society remained hidden from Joan. They saw her as a pawn in their grand design, a means to an end, rather than a true savior. Their ultimate goal was not only the liberation of France but the establishment of their own dominion over the world.

Encouraged by her visions and with the belief that she was on a divinely appointed mission, Joan sought an audience with Charles VII. In March 1429, she traveled to Chinon, where the Dauphin's court was located. Initially met with skepticism, Joan convinced Charles of the authenticity of her divine guidance by revealing information known only to him and gaining his trust.

Impressed by her conviction and inspired by her fervor, Charles VII granted Joan military authority and an army to lead the relief of Orléans, which was under siege by the English and Burgundian forces. Joan's presence and leadership in the Battle of Orléans in April 1429 boosted the French troops' morale, and her tactical advice and bravery contributed to the lifting of the siege.

Following the victory at Orléans, Joan accompanied Charles VII to Reims, where he was officially crowned King of France in July 1429. This event marked a turning point in the war, as Charles' coronation reinforced his legitimacy and bolstered support for his cause.

Joan continued to fight alongside the French forces, participating in several military campaigns that helped turn the tide of the war in favor of France. However, her fortunes would change in May 1430 when she was captured by the Burgundians during a campaign near Compiègne.

As Joan's legend grew, so did her sense of self-purpose and autonomy. In a dramatic turn of events, Joan's unyielding determination led to significant victories for the French forces. Her impact on the course of the war could not be denied, and she became a symbol of hope for a nation in despair.

The House of Christ plan to control her began to crumble, and they realized that they had created a force that could not be tamed. the society conspired to have Joan captured by their agents. They aimed to discredit her, to strip away the illusion of divinity and expose her as a mere puppet in their grand scheme. The House of Christ Society's agents betrayed Joan,

September 1429:

After the coronation of Charles VII in Reims, Joan continued to lead military campaigns against the English and their Burgundian allies along the Loire River. The successful Battle of Patay, which took place on June 18, 1429, was a significant victory for Joan and the French forces. During this campaign, several key towns were captured, including Jargeau and Patay.

In Jargeau, Joan's leadership and strategic acumen played a crucial role in the French victory. The town's siege, was lifted after Joan and the French forces managed to breach the walls and gain control of the city.

In the Battle of Patay, Joan's military prowess was further showcased. The French decisively defeated the English and Burgundian forces, securing a significant advantage for the Dauphin's cause. The battle is often considered one of Joan's most remarkable achievements during her military campaign.

In May 1430 when she was captured by the Burgundians during a military campaign near Compiègne. The Burgundians were allies of the English during the Hundred Years' War. Joan was leading a contingent of troops defending Compiègne when she was trapped outside the city during a retreat. The enemy forces overtook her, and she was taken captive.

After her capture, Joan of Arc was handed over to the English, who were eager to discredit her and her claims of divine guidance. Her trial began in January 1431 in the city of Rouen, which was under English control at the time. The trial was conducted by an ecclesiastical court, led by Pierre Cauchon, who was Bishop of Beauvais, member of the christ society and posed as friend to Joan.

Throughout the trial, Joan was subjected to intense questioning and faced accusations of heresy, witchcraft, and other offenses. The court sought to undermine her credibility and divine inspiration, attempting to portray her visions as mere delusions or the work of evil spirits.

The trial concluded on May 30, 1431, when Joan of Arc was found guilty of heresy. The court condemned her to death by burning at the stake. Joan of Arc was taken to the marketplace in Rouen and publicly executed. Her bravery and steadfastness during her final moments left a profound impact on those who witnessed her death.

Joan of Arc's legacy endured long after her death, and her reputation as a national heroine and martyr has only grown over the centuries. Her remarkable story continues to inspire people around the world as a symbol of courage, faith, and determination in the face of adversity.

The House of Christ Society allowed the Vatican church to declare Joan as a Saint on 2 March 1922 by Pope Pius XI.
