| |
| '''[[Joan of Arc]]''' (ca. 1412 – 30 May 1431) was a [[France|French]] peasant girl who, while still a teenager, and in obedience to what she asserted to be a command from [[God]], led her nation's armies to several spectacular military victories which turned the tide in the [[Hundred Years' War]] at a time when the French cause was tottering on the brink of collapse. Soon thereafter, she was captured and tried by an English-backed Church court which convicted her of [[heresy]] and had her burnt at the stake. <font size=1>[[Joan of Arc|['''more...''']]]</font>

| '''[[Banana]]s''' are the [[fruit]] of a wide range of species in the [[Musa]] taxonomic [[genus]].<ref> The naming of species in the genus Musa, family Musaceae, is a complex business. See more, including the taxonomic history, at [[Musa]].</ref> Originally from [[Malaysia]] [http://www.banana.com/] in [[Southeast Asia]] and [[Australia]], they have become so intrinsic to the diets of [[Africa|Africans]] and [[South America|South Americans]] that many people from those continents (and many elsewhere) mistakenly believe them to be native. The overwhelming majority of bananas are shades of yellow when ripe, but there are also red, pink and purple species.<font size=1>[[Banana|['''more...''']]]</font> | | |
