Joan of Arc was leading men to war, Columbus discovered America, and the printing press was invented in what century?

The Maid of Orleans, St. Joan of Arc, led the French into battle against the English during the tail-end of the 100 Years War. She was martyred after being captured and burned to death after which she became a national heroine of France. Meanwhile, the printing press revolutionized printing, as Johannes Gutenberg introduced the mechanized printing method. Ignoring France and England's squabble, Spain had its sights set on exploration, sending Italian explorer, Christopher Columbus, off to "sail the ocean blue" and discover the New World under the sponsorship of King Ferdinand of Spain.
