Joan was born in Domrémy, a small village in northeastern France. During her lifetime, the village was loyal to the French crown despite being surrounded by pro-Burgundian lands. Later, the village was renamed Domrémy-la-Pucelle in her honor, exempting its residents from taxes for over three centuries.
