Joan of Arc was born some time after the Plague reached its zenith. Furthermore, I think her short life was between the more violent outbreaks.

There's nothing wrong with the idea. I'd like to see how it turns out. I'm just not sure if the Black Plague is the best method of killing young Joan off. Maybe if she died in battle?
