The Resume

    (January 6, 1412-May 30, 1431)
    Declared a Saint (1909)

Why she might be annoying:

    When she was thirteen, she claimed to hear the 'Voices' of Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret.
    At first the 'Voices' came two or three times a week but five years later it was a daily occurence.
    The voices instructed her to 'Go into France' to raise the siege of Orleans and drive the English out.
    She was denied sainthood for 489 years until canonized by Pope Benedict XV (1920).
    She suffered from depression.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Simonin Munier, a childhood friend, says she nursed him back to health.
    She gave shelter to the homeless.
    She entered Orleans on April 29th and within two months the city was freed and the English fled the city.
    She was captured and imprisoned (May 23, 1430).
    She was tried and burnt at the stake (May 30, 1431).
    On appeal and twenty-five years too late the decision was overturned and declared 'null and void.'
    She was left handed.
