The Magna Carta
By: Ethan Brill
The Magna Carta is a document that was signed by King Jhon in 1255. He signed the document under duress after facing the ongoing rebellion from his barons. The magna carta, sort of like the domesday book, is considered one of the most important documents to have been written ever in the middle ages.
The Crusades
By: Brandie Bell
The Crusades or the holy wars were about the Christians. The Christians were getting larger in population that any other religion. People were having fits over the fact of people being able to have rights because of the religion. In the end the religion stuck.

Joan of Arc
By: Jaedyn Wade
Joan of Arc was a french national heroine who became a saint of the Roman Catholic Church. She was a peasant girl who rescued France from defeat in on of the darkest periods of the Hundreds Years’ War with England. Joan led a French army against the English. The English had laid siege to the city of Orleans. She was often called the maid of Orleans because of the victory.
They say Joan might have been a clairvoyant, which is a person who has knowledge of events happening far away or in the future without using their five senses. By the age of 13, Joan was having visions related to religion and heard what she thought were the voices of saints. Early in 1429, at the age of 17, she left to fulfill her mission.
At first when Joan went to see King Charles VII, he tested her. The king slipped into the ranks of his courtiers and let one of his nobles take the throne while he was away. Even though he did that, Joan wasn’t deceived. She identified Charles as her king. When Joan told Charles what he had asked God of when he prayed alone, he realized she had unusual powers. The members of the clergy accepted Joan’s beliefs. King Charles gave Joan her armor, a banner, and the command of the troops so she could set out on her mission.
In April of 1429, Joan set out with her army to rescue Orleans from the English. French commanders hesitated to obey Joan. But, they came to realization that all went well when they followed her orders, so they decided to obey her. Joan’s forces broke the siege of Orleans in 10 days and the English then fled. After the victory, Joan persuaded Charles of the need for a coronation because Charles wasn’t a king yet. She stood beside Charles when he was crowned king, on July 17th, 1429. After the coronation, Joan became anxious to free Paris from the English control and the king doubted her success but let her have an attempt at Paris. In September of 1429, Joan was wounded. The Burgundians captured Joan at Compiegne in May in 1430. A tribunal of French clergy who were sympathetic to the English sentence her to death. She burned at the stake in front of a large crowd in Roven on May 30th, 1431. Her ashes were thrown into the Seine River. Joan still remains a mysterious figure. Some people said that another person might have died in her pace at Roven.
