Joan of Arc -- Maid of Orleans -- Battle of New Orleans
I read Laura Wood's blog, The Thinking Housewife, from time to time, and at the top of her sidebar is this picture, captioned "St. Joan of Arc, defender of all nations."
Joan died at the age of 19. White horse, plumed headdress, red banner, the number 19 . . . what does that all remind me of?
Tradition has it that Joan was born on the Feast of Epiphany, January 6, 1412. Her trial for heresy began on January 9, 1431. The Battle of New Orleans took place on January 8, 1815.
