Joan of Arc
On February 13, 1429, Joan of Arc and a small military escort set out for the Dauphin's (eldest son of the King of France) castle at Chinon. Joan now began wearing men's clothes to make herself less conspicuous as she traveled through English-controlled territory. She was 17 years old in April, when the Dauphin Charles, after being convinced she was sent by God, gave Joan command of a small military unit, essentially giving her the military power of a knight. On April 27, 1429, Joan set out from Blois to reinforce the Dauphin's troops at the Siege of Orleans. After fierce fighting and inspired by Joan’s heroic leadership, the French banished the English from the city, and from then on, she was known as “The Maid of Orleans”.
