Joan of Arc: Maid of Orléans

00;00;00;03 - 00;00;02;24

Does the man make the time or does time

make the man?

00;00;02;24 - 00;00;03;26

I was asked this question

00;00;03;26 - 00;00;06;26

in a history class one time, and today

I think there's a good case

00;00;06;26 - 00;00;08;17

that has to do with a little bit of both,

00;00;08;17 - 00;00;11;03

but also neither

looking at the story of Joan of Arc,

00;00;11;03 - 00;00;14;11

the maiden of early on this week,

a woman who has more name recognition

00;00;14;11 - 00;00;18;02

than probably any other woman in history,

save for Mary, mother of Jesus.

00;00;18;06 - 00;00;20;02

What about her story is so compelling?

00;00;20;02 - 00;00;22;12

Was it the divine intervention

that makes her story

00;00;22;12 - 00;00;24;04

so interesting to everybody?

00;00;24;04 - 00;00;25;17

Or is there more to it than that?

00;00;25;17 - 00;00;26;23

Today we look at the story,

00;00;26;23 - 00;00;30;29

the background, the conquests, the trials

and tribulations of Joan of Arc

00;00;30;29 - 00;00;37;20

on another episode of the remedial scholar

Bad Sanction Headmistress.

00;00;37;22 - 00;00;40;12

I feel I was denied

00;00;40;12 - 00;00;41;05

credit critically.

00;00;41;05 - 00;00;49;22

I need to know the information

00;00;49;25 - 00;00;58;10

belong to the CMC

00;00;58;12 - 00;01;00;11

staff step and you bring me to you.

00;01;00;11 - 00;01;03;27

Welcome back,

everybody to the remedial scholar.

00;01;03;27 - 00;01;05;14

I am Levi.

00;01;05;14 - 00;01;06;16

Thank you for returning.

00;01;06;16 - 00;01;08;17

And if you're new here,

thank you for joining.

00;01;08;17 - 00;01;09;20

It sure looks great on you.

00;01;09;20 - 00;01;13;10

I am excited to get this topic

going as you

00;01;13;10 - 00;01;16;14

probably are as well,

but we have some business to do first.

00;01;16;18 - 00;01;17;15

Of course we do.

00;01;17;15 - 00;01;20;17

As you all know, reviews are important

to new shows and I would love it

00;01;20;17 - 00;01;24;11

if you are listening to Go to the podcast

main page on either Spotify,

00;01;24;11 - 00;01;28;05

Apple Podcasts or iPod Chaser

and leave an honest review for us.

00;01;28;05 - 00;01;31;03

Doing that and sharing us

and socials is really the best way

00;01;31;03 - 00;01;34;03

to get this show out there

to those who don't know about it.

00;01;34;03 - 00;01;37;24

Word of mouth is the best way,

and simply sharing us on your Facebook

00;01;37;24 - 00;01;38;26

would be great help.

00;01;38;26 - 00;01;40;17

You know, every little bit helps.

00;01;40;17 - 00;01;43;07

And these are the things

that I would love for you to do.

00;01;43;07 - 00;01;47;17

And it costs $0 If you want to throw money

my way, that would be lovely too.

00;01;47;17 - 00;01;50;22

The link tree in the description

or just google link tree

00;01;50;22 - 00;01;53;22

slash the remedial scholar

and it will pop right up for you.

00;01;53;25 - 00;01;54;25

Explore the links there.

00;01;54;25 - 00;01;57;13

There's a tip button

or you can go to the captivate site,

00;01;57;13 - 00;01;58;21

leave a tip there as well.

00;01;58;21 - 00;02;00;28

And one last thing

before we move on to Joan

00;02;00;28 - 00;02;03;05

is that you can also

check out the small merch store.

00;02;03;05 - 00;02;05;21

And I'm working on new designs

as we speak.

00;02;05;21 - 00;02;09;09

Well, not only that, as we speak,

I'm doing this as as I speak right now.

00;02;09;09 - 00;02;10;12

Right.

00;02;10;12 - 00;02;11;06

And that's it.

00;02;11;06 - 00;02;14;17

We can move on to the fun stuff

and today is going to be fun.

00;02;14;18 - 00;02;18;13

Now, this is the first episode that

I've done that is biographical in nature.

00;02;18;14 - 00;02;21;28

Of course, I have told some stories

of specific figures in the other episodes,

00;02;21;28 - 00;02;23;17

but this is going to be the first episode

00;02;23;17 - 00;02;26;00

that centers around

any one specific figure.

00;02;26;00 - 00;02;28;25

And what a specific figure

to start out with. Joan of Arc.

00;02;28;25 - 00;02;32;25

Jean Dark view of Frenchy, You know that

maybe that sounds a little bit better.

00;02;32;25 - 00;02;33;16

I don't know.

00;02;33;16 - 00;02;36;16

The French woman

and the most names in history, really.

00;02;36;21 - 00;02;40;11

I would in fact check it, but

I'm almost certain that has to be true.

00;02;40;13 - 00;02;42;04

Who else exactly I can't think of?

00;02;42;04 - 00;02;44;09

Very many of these

were given posthumously,

00;02;44;09 - 00;02;48;06

especially the of ARC

or the arc, as we will find out.

00;02;48;06 - 00;02;51;21

Joan had testified in her trial that, uh,

her village,

00;02;51;21 - 00;02;54;13

the surname came from the mother's side

if you were a woman.

00;02;54;13 - 00;02;58;09

But yeah, I'm getting a little bit

ahead of myself, and as is the norm.

00;02;58;15 - 00;03;03;12

So today we will be discussing the setting

of where Joan's life will take stage.

00;03;03;12 - 00;03;06;24

Some background of the poorly

named Hundred Years War, the conflict

00;03;06;24 - 00;03;10;13

in which Joan finds herself in

some of the set up with that, then

00;03;10;20 - 00;03;14;14

go to the origins of the Maiden herself

before moving right into her life.

00;03;14;14 - 00;03;16;06

Visions Battle surface.

00;03;16;06 - 00;03;18;07

All of that origins won't take long.

00;03;18;07 - 00;03;21;13

As you know, she's very young

when she first had the visions,

00;03;21;13 - 00;03;24;14

and that would lead into her

becoming involved in the conflict.

00;03;24;18 - 00;03;27;00

So really, once things get going,

they really get going.

00;03;27;00 - 00;03;30;10

Obviously, I've heard the story

before many times in my life.

00;03;30;15 - 00;03;33;12

I'd watch the movie

starring Milla Jovovich.

00;03;33;12 - 00;03;35;14

I'm pretty sure

I never know how to pronounce her name.

00;03;35;14 - 00;03;36;23

I'm pretty sure it's Jovovich.

00;03;36;23 - 00;03;38;14

Though at an early age

00;03;38;14 - 00;03;41;08

I watched this movie

with my older brother, you know, the one

00;03;41;08 - 00;03;44;19

where she's destined to aid

a man in his mission to save people.

00;03;44;19 - 00;03;46;05

And there's this evil force

00;03;46;05 - 00;03;49;23

led by a man with a funny accent

and a weird haircut, and his cronies.

00;03;49;27 - 00;03;52;05

Fifth element obviously

00;03;52;05 - 00;03;55;13

just getting it's the the Messenger,

the story of Joan of Arc.

00;03;55;13 - 00;03;57;07

That's the real movie I was referring to.

00;03;57;07 - 00;03;59;15

They did come out one year apart, though,

00;03;59;15 - 00;04;02;05

which, you know, it's interesting

how you can just boil the plot

00;04;02;05 - 00;04;05;16

elements like that

and describe two vastly different movies.

00;04;05;18 - 00;04;07;03

Well, maybe that's not impressive.

I don't know.

00;04;07;03 - 00;04;11;02

This movie is actually the way

in which I was able to get out of trouble

00;04;11;02 - 00;04;12;28

with the teacher in high school.

I mentioned this

00;04;12;28 - 00;04;15;22

at the end of the last week's episode,

but here's the whole story.

00;04;15;22 - 00;04;17;20

So I took three years of French

at high school.

00;04;17;20 - 00;04;19;14

Do I speak the language? No.

00;04;19;14 - 00;04;22;07

Can I understand some of it to this day

also? No.

00;04;22;07 - 00;04;24;27

I do know vaguely

how to pronounce some things.

00;04;24;27 - 00;04;30;01

So that's what three years of Americanized

French class at public school get you.

00;04;30;06 - 00;04;32;24

Anyway,

that class was was a joke, in all honesty.

00;04;32;24 - 00;04;35;16

But not to the teachers. Well,

I don't know.

00;04;35;16 - 00;04;37;17

I don't know. I don't know

who to blame in that situation.

00;04;37;17 - 00;04;41;13

But you know, I took the class

because I failed Spanish my freshman year.

00;04;41;13 - 00;04;43;08

And instead of retaking Spanish,

00;04;43;08 - 00;04;45;08

I was thinking with my dumb

high school brain.

00;04;45;08 - 00;04;47;23

And that that French

is the language of love.

00;04;47;23 - 00;04;49;25

And there would be cute girls in my class.

00;04;49;25 - 00;04;51;10

Newsflash to high school Levi.

00;04;51;10 - 00;04;54;03

There were cute girls in every class.

That's besides the point.

00;04;54;03 - 00;04;55;08

So I'm in French class.

00;04;55;08 - 00;04;58;01

I think maybe French too,

which would have been my junior year.

00;04;58;01 - 00;04;59;03

My friend and I were talking

00;04;59;03 - 00;05;01;17

during the documentary of Joan of Arc

that we were watching,

00;05;01;17 - 00;05;03;23

which might be a cardinal sin

in French class.

00;05;03;23 - 00;05;04;24

I don't know.

00;05;04;24 - 00;05;07;14

The teacher did not like this,

and she asked me if I would like

00;05;07;14 - 00;05;11;03

to tell the class about Joan, since

I clearly knew more than the documentary.

00;05;11;09 - 00;05;14;21

You know, one of those moments

where the teacher's trying to go, Hey,

00;05;14;22 - 00;05;16;00

you don't know what you're talking about

00;05;16;00 - 00;05;18;25

or like you're talking

and it's not about this.

00;05;18;25 - 00;05;22;22

So either teach us something or shut

up, basically, because, you know,

00;05;22;24 - 00;05;26;01

I wouldn't talk over a movie

if I wasn't sure I knew everything.

00;05;26;02 - 00;05;29;07

Definitely not,

because I was an ADHD riddled teenager

00;05;29;07 - 00;05;33;04

sitting next to all my friends

Anyway, having seen them, the movie

00;05;33;04 - 00;05;37;01

Messenger about Joan, I confidently said

that I could teach everyone about her,

00;05;37;07 - 00;05;38;15

so I told the class that she

00;05;38;15 - 00;05;42;09

had angelic visions from an early age

and they guided her to help the French

00;05;42;09 - 00;05;44;04

defeat

the English during the Hundred Years War

00;05;44;04 - 00;05;47;08

and then was burned at the stake

because they said she was a witch.

00;05;47;08 - 00;05;51;08

And this made the teacher

give a pitiful smile

00;05;51;08 - 00;05;54;01

and then told me to pay attention

to the movie.

00;05;54;01 - 00;05;54;20

Moved on.

00;05;54;20 - 00;05;58;00

It was a small victory, but a victory

nonetheless for the rebellious teenager.

00;05;58;00 - 00;05;58;20

Levi.

00;05;58;20 - 00;06;02;23

And obviously when I remember very vividly

because they were here, I am telling you

00;06;02;29 - 00;06;05;13

I was wrong about it, though.

Well, not wrong.

00;06;05;13 - 00;06;07;16

That quick

summary is pretty part and parcel

00;06;07;16 - 00;06;10;07

to how everyone imagines

the story of Joan of Arc. Right?

00;06;10;07 - 00;06;13;08

Unless you have done any research on her,

you wouldn't know any difference

00;06;13;08 - 00;06;16;22

than what little knowledge

is shared in school or seen in movies.

00;06;16;27 - 00;06;20;04

There's so much more to her story

than that simple reduction.

00;06;20;04 - 00;06;24;09

I hope everyone takes away from this

that you can, you know, boil her story

00;06;24;09 - 00;06;27;00

down to those key things.

But where is the fun in that?

00;06;27;00 - 00;06;30;04

So with that being said,

let's get into the specific date of Joan's

00;06;30;04 - 00;06;33;08

birth is not known

thought to be around the year: 1412

00;06;33;14 - 00;06;35;18

This is pretty far

along into the Hundred Years War

00;06;35;18 - 00;06;39;01

and before we get to Joan and her life,

we need to understand the war

00;06;39;03 - 00;06;43;07

that she was so pivotal in knowing

what the war was and who were involved

00;06;43;12 - 00;06;46;10

and why it was even fight

helps to place Joan in that story much

00;06;46;10 - 00;06;49;15

better than just talking about Joan

until her 16th birthday.

00;06;49;22 - 00;06;51;08

So if you get back up going,

00;06;51;08 - 00;06;54;08

you know, talk about the Hundred Years War

and then back to Joan.

00;06;54;08 - 00;06;56;27

So anyway, what was the Hundred Years War?

00;06;56;27 - 00;07;00;08

Well, it's a war that lasted 116

00;07;00;09 - 00;07;03;09

years, which does not roll off the tongue

nearly as nicely.

00;07;03;12 - 00;07;07;21

Also wasn't really a war

that was like a real, real war.

00;07;07;24 - 00;07;10;01

It was not 100 years of nonstop fighting.

00;07;10;01 - 00;07;13;26

It was 116 years of sporadic conflict

between the English

00;07;13;26 - 00;07;17;22

and the French, which stemmed from land

disputes and claims to the throne.

00;07;17;27 - 00;07;20;23

The royal lineage of these two kingdoms

was very messy back

00;07;20;23 - 00;07;24;07

in the Middle Ages, marrying off daughters

to other crowns and so on.

00;07;24;10 - 00;07;27;28

Oh, summarize it as best as it can,

but it's still kind of complicated.

00;07;28;05 - 00;07;30;03

And events

that helped kick off the Hundred Years War

00;07;30;03 - 00;07;32;24

actually started in the years of William

the Conqueror.

00;07;32;24 - 00;07;35;00

See William

the Conqueror in that nickname.

00;07;35;00 - 00;07;37;18

He was the king of the Normans,

but he captured England

00;07;37;18 - 00;07;39;20

and thus was the first Norman

King of England.

00;07;39;20 - 00;07;42;04

But he was also a vassal

and the Duke of France.

00;07;42;04 - 00;07;42;22

This would create

00;07;42;22 - 00;07;46;07

a very convoluted intermarriage type

scenario between the two nations.

00;07;46;12 - 00;07;48;19

William is also the sixth

great grandfather

00;07;48;19 - 00;07;52;05

of the man who would be the leading factor

the beginning of the 100 Years War.

00;07;52;12 - 00;07;56;02

In: 1328

the French King Charles the fourth died,

00;07;56;02 - 00;07;59;05

and his nephew Edward the third, felt

that he had a claim to the throne.

00;07;59;10 - 00;08;02;17

Edward awkwardly enough,

was the King of England at the time.

00;08;02;22 - 00;08;03;16

This didn't jive

00;08;03;16 - 00;08;08;02

well with the French nobles, and they felt

it was better to have Philip, the six,

00;08;08;05 - 00;08;11;26

who was the cousin to Charles, enter

as the young king.

00;08;12;02 - 00;08;16;00

This, among other things, can caused

England to declare war on the French.

00;08;16;00 - 00;08;17;21

In: 1337

00;08;17;21 - 00;08;19;25

Edward the third and his son Edward.

00;08;19;25 - 00;08;23;29

So many Edward's instigated

what is called the Edward Ian phase

00;08;23;29 - 00;08;25;13

of the Hundred Years War.

00;08;25;13 - 00;08;26;07

Interesting point.

00;08;26;07 - 00;08;30;06

Edward the third son Edward, for whatever

reason, not named Eddie the fourth.

00;08;30;10 - 00;08;33;00

Edward was also known as the Black Prince,

which is not the point.

00;08;33;00 - 00;08;37;11

But he got his name either

from Black Shield to use and or armor

00;08;37;17 - 00;08;39;19

or his brutal reputation.

00;08;39;19 - 00;08;41;14

What the interesting point

I was going to make

00;08;41;14 - 00;08;43;14

is that he is in the movie

A Knight's Tale.

00;08;43;14 - 00;08;48;06

If he's seen this movie, he is the knight

who Heath Ledger's William Auric decides

00;08;48;06 - 00;08;52;26

to joust against after finding out he is

royalty, played expertly by James Purifoy.

00;08;52;28 - 00;08;56;02

Anyway,

the two heads, one short of a medieval

00;08;56;02 - 00;08;59;03

Edward and Eddie episode

begin their battles against the French.

00;08;59;11 - 00;09;01;05

Really great timing

because the Black Plague

00;09;01;05 - 00;09;04;05

was moving its way through Europe at the

at the same time,

00;09;04;07 - 00;09;06;05

it would be interesting

to know how these dudes

00;09;06;05 - 00;09;09;23

felt about their victories while some of

something like that is happening.

00;09;09;27 - 00;09;13;27

Yeah, we won, but like half their army

fell over, died almost immediately.

00;09;14;00 - 00;09;15;09

I'm not even sure they were alive.

00;09;15;09 - 00;09;17;06

Maybe they were just stood up

with some wooden

00;09;17;06 - 00;09;18;24

dowels,

making it look like they were standing.

00;09;18;24 - 00;09;21;12

ke I said, the war started in: 1337

00;09;21;12 - 00;09;24;11

The black Plague wasn't really going

until the: 1340

00;09;24;12 - 00;09;26;18

They did fight

throughout the length of it,

00;09;26;18 - 00;09;30;18

now, a treaty taking place in: 1360

which afforded England a large section

00;09;30;18 - 00;09;35;00

of French, French lands, northern France

and and in exchange, Edward

00;09;35;00 - 00;09;37;21

the third stated he would drop his claim

to the throne of France.

00;09;37;21 - 00;09;41;21

A few years later, in: 1378

French King Charles, the fifth took back

00;09;41;21 - 00;09;44;21

quite a bit of this lost land,

which was, you know, nice,

00;09;44;27 - 00;09;49;03

but it was still very hard time in post

plague France and all of Europe, really.

00;09;49;03 - 00;09;52;06

But France got hit pretty hard

two years following this.

00;09;52;06 - 00;09;54;07

However, Charles the fifth died and left.

00;09;54;07 - 00;09;58;07

Charles the sixth to reign at the age of

11 is bad enough with him being 11.

00;09;58;07 - 00;10;02;04

But Charles the sixth is also notorious in

history, has experienced

00;10;02;08 - 00;10;06;09

experiencing many psychotic episodes

and being stricken with mental illness.

00;10;06;09 - 00;10;09;17

Since he was so young,

he was essentially under heavy advisement

00;10;09;17 - 00;10;11;02

by the nobles of his court.

00;10;11;02 - 00;10;14;07

But at the age of 20,

he emancipated himself from the advising.

00;10;14;07 - 00;10;16;28

And following this,

a few interesting things happened,

00;10;16;28 - 00;10;20;14

the first being in a fight against his own

soldiers in the middle of the woods.

00;10;20;14 - 00;10;23;20

Apparently a leper came out

to the traveling army,

00;10;23;20 - 00;10;27;04

went straight to the king,

shouted charges of betrayal and traitors.

00;10;27;04 - 00;10;30;26

Soon after, someone dropped a lance

and knocked them armor around.

00;10;30;26 - 00;10;33;06

And Charles, the sick, felt

he was under attack.

00;10;33;06 - 00;10;36;06

And since that leper had said

it could be a thing,

00;10;36;06 - 00;10;39;06

he started swinging his sword

around that the men

00;10;39;07 - 00;10;42;07

and you know, the men that were around him

00;10;42;13 - 00;10;44;29

before a group of them

were able to pull him from his horse

00;10;44;29 - 00;10;47;09

and lay him down on the ground.

And then he passed out.

00;10;47;09 - 00;10;50;20

He ended up killing four of his own men

in this instance.

00;10;50;25 - 00;10;53;08

And, you know,

he was pretty much plagued by issues

00;10;53;08 - 00;10;55;29

ever since was by no means

the precipice of it.

00;10;55;29 - 00;10;58;24

But, you know,

that story is super interesting.

00;10;58;24 - 00;10;59;19

So that happens.

00;10;59;19 - 00;11;03;02

A few other things also occur,

including forgetting who he was.

00;11;03;02 - 00;11;06;19

Then he was Saint George,

forgetting who his wife and children were,

00;11;06;21 - 00;11;09;17

refusing to bathe or change clothes

for months on end.

00;11;09;17 - 00;11;12;17

And my personal favorite, believing

he was made of glass,

00;11;12;18 - 00;11;16;10

he would even have them put iron

rods sewn into his clothes to that

00;11;16;16 - 00;11;18;11

if he were touched, he would not shatter.

00;11;18;11 - 00;11;21;10

Which, you know,

you're still going to shatter.

00;11;21;10 - 00;11;23;22

If you were made of glass,

the clothes wouldn't.

00;11;23;22 - 00;11;26;13

But I guess trying to rationalize

behaviors of somebody afflicted

00;11;26;13 - 00;11;29;13

with this type of mental illness

isn't the best move.

00;11;29;17 - 00;11;33;13

Even dubbed the Mad King or Charles,

The Mad Charles proved to be unstable.

00;11;33;20 - 00;11;37;14

And so in the times of his delirium,

his brother Louis of Orleans

00;11;37;21 - 00;11;40;26

and I realize,

you know, it's pronounced Orleans, but

00;11;41;00 - 00;11;44;09

with his name being Louis,

I want to pronounce it Louis of Orly

00;11;44;12 - 00;11;49;05

doesn't make any sense, but that the name

Louis always trips me up.

00;11;49;07 - 00;11;50;22

I guess I can pronounce them

00;11;50;22 - 00;11;54;18

both wrong and call him Louis of

They're all Anyway.

00;11;54;21 - 00;11;57;20

Anyway, Louis of Orleans

would fill in along

00;11;57;20 - 00;12;01;13

with their Uncle Philip of Burgundy

by: 1407

00;12;01;15 - 00;12;05;00

early on and burgundy horses

were fighting against one another,

00;12;05;07 - 00;12;08;13

you know, over who got to be the de

facto leader while the king was yelling

00;12;08;13 - 00;12;11;13

at squirrels and polishing his skin.

00;12;11;15 - 00;12;14;12

This led to the assassination of Louis

by his cousin

00;12;14;12 - 00;12;17;20

or the order was given by his cousin John,

son of Philip.

00;12;17;24 - 00;12;18;26

Why is all this important?

00;12;18;26 - 00;12;21;26

Well, combine that with the leadership

of the post plague issues,

00;12;21;28 - 00;12;25;19

France faced economic

and the like and put it in perspective

00;12;25;19 - 00;12;29;05

that England bounced back faster

and better than France did.

00;12;29;05 - 00;12;32;28

And you will know that England

saw some chances and took kind of.

00;12;33;02 - 00;12;34;27

England had its own issues for sure.

00;12;34;27 - 00;12;35;15

After Edward

00;12;35;15 - 00;12;39;26

the third died in: 1377

the second was crowned at the age of ten.

00;12;39;29 - 00;12;42;06

Richard The second was son of Edward

the Black Prince.

00;12;42;06 - 00;12;43;10

And you're probably wondering

00;12;43;10 - 00;12;46;10

why his dad didn't take the crown

after his grandpappy died.

00;12;46;15 - 00;12;49;18

Well,

the black prince died of Miguel's pipe.

00;12;49;23 - 00;12;51;08

That's for my fellow time sucker.

00;12;51;08 - 00;12;53;03

And Dan's that. Listen, you get it.

00;12;53;03 - 00;12;55;07

For those of you

who don't know, this is dysentery

00;12;55;07 - 00;12;58;12

and one of the scariest ways

to die, in my opinion.

00;12;58;14 - 00;12;59;04

You don't know.

00;12;59;04 - 00;13;03;05

It's just violent death by diarrhea,

essentially.

00;13;03;11 - 00;13;04;12

Anyway, back to Richard.

00;13;04;12 - 00;13;07;15

The second he actually married the

the mad King's youngest daughter

00;13;07;15 - 00;13;10;15

in: 1396

00;13;10;15 - 00;13;13;23

You know, he had a previous marriage,

but she died in: 1394

00;13;13;28 - 00;13;16;24

as most women

did, I'm assuming, in childbirth.

00;13;16;24 - 00;13;19;25

Charles, the sixth daughter, well,

she was seven when they got married.

00;13;19;25 - 00;13;23;00

So I guess it worked as a tool

in the eyes of the French.

00;13;23;00 - 00;13;26;16

But if I was her, if I was her dad

and not insane,

00;13;26;19 - 00;13;28;16

I guess it worked as a tool

in the eyes of the French.

00;13;28;16 - 00;13;31;26

But if I was her dad and not insane,

I wouldn't feel very confident in that.

00;13;32;02 - 00;13;36;09

You know, this did not make the English

region super excited and led

00;13;36;09 - 00;13;40;15

to his being deposed and subsequent murder

by his cousin in: 1400

00;13;40;18 - 00;13;42;02

So many cousin killing.

00;13;42;02 - 00;13;45;26

Oddly enough, this did free the child

bride who would have been 11 at the time.

00;13;46;02 - 00;13;46;18

Good news.

00;13;46;18 - 00;13;50;04

She found love again in: 1406

a little more

00;13;50;04 - 00;13;53;05

appropriate this time she married Charles

Duke of Orleans.

00;13;53;12 - 00;13;55;12

They might be keeping score,

but if you're not

00;13;55;12 - 00;13;57;22

Charles was the son of Louis, of Audrey.

00;13;57;22 - 00;13;58;16

All crazy.

00;13;58;16 - 00;14;00;28

Charles, his brother Crazy

Charles is her father,

00;14;00;28 - 00;14;02;29

which makes this other Charles,

her cousin.

00;14;02;29 - 00;14;05;26

So she married cousin Charles

and then died of childbirth

00;14;05;26 - 00;14;09;06

at 91, a wildlife

This girl had like a big theme this week.

00;14;09;06 - 00;14;14;03

Real short,

intense lives of women in medieval France.

00;14;14;03 - 00;14;17;16

Henry The taking over after him

after murdering his cousin, which

00;14;17;16 - 00;14;20;15

I guess is slightly better than marrying

one I don't really know.

00;14;20;21 - 00;14;22;07

Was under specific orders.

00;14;22;07 - 00;14;25;22

The killing of his cousin made people

super weary about him, leading England

00;14;25;22 - 00;14;29;06

and thus forced him

into a kind of focus on local issues only.

00;14;29;06 - 00;14;31;18

Even though Henry,

the Fourth, wanted to seize opportunities

00;14;31;18 - 00;14;33;00

against the French, he could not,

00;14;33;00 - 00;14;36;02

which led to one of the somewhat peaceful

sections of the war.

00;14;36;08 - 00;14;39;28

Not to say there was no violence

because France was a mess.

00;14;40;01 - 00;14;42;00

Charles The mad still sat on the throne.

00;14;42;00 - 00;14;46;00

And as I mentioned, John of Burgundy,

having Louis killed the spun

00;14;46;00 - 00;14;50;00

into a civil war of sorts

called the Armagnac burgundian Civil War.

00;14;50;06 - 00;14;53;25

It was not just a it was not just power

that the two houses fought over.

00;14;53;29 - 00;14;57;08

Apparently, Louis was quite the ladies

man and was accused of attempting

00;14;57;09 - 00;15;00;29

to or having seduced

John of Burgundy wife, as well as Isabeau,

00;15;01;06 - 00;15;05;15

who was Charles, the man's wife,

Queen of France, and maybe Louis even,

00;15;05;15 - 00;15;08;05

maybe being the illegitimate

father of Charles

00;15;08;05 - 00;15;10;29

the seventh, who will come into the play

a little bit later.

00;15;10;29 - 00;15;12;12

Either way, Louis gets murdered.

00;15;12;12 - 00;15;17;11

His son, Charles cousin Charles, engages

in a conflict against the Burgundians,

00;15;17;18 - 00;15;20;18

marries his cousin Isabella,

until she dies during childbirth.

00;15;20;19 - 00;15;24;01

He makes another strategic

marriage and marries Bonnie to Arminius.

00;15;24;04 - 00;15;26;24

And I'm 90% sure

I'm pronouncing that right.

00;15;26;24 - 00;15;28;12

But I don't know.

00;15;28;12 - 00;15;31;07

This makes the name of the Civil War

make more sense.

00;15;31;07 - 00;15;32;28

I'm an ox versus the Burgundians.

00;15;32;28 - 00;15;35;23

And both of them

tried to get the English to assist them.

00;15;35;23 - 00;15;36;25

Meanwhile, Henry

00;15;36;25 - 00;15;40;27

the Fifth ascended to the English throne

after the fourth death in: 1430

00;15;40;27 - 00;15;44;19

He sees the craziness happening in France

and has some pretty great ideas.

00;15;44;24 - 00;15;49;04

This is further put into place

when in: 1419

00;15;49;06 - 00;15;51;20

given a taste of his own medicine

and then assassinated

00;15;51;20 - 00;15;54;20

by the arm, and his son, another Philip.

00;15;54;23 - 00;15;57;24

These people had no creativity

in name whatsoever.

00;15;58;00 - 00;16;01;27

So Philip, son of John, who is son of

Philip, becomes the Duke of Burgundy.

00;16;02;04 - 00;16;06;05

And he's like, all right, England,

what can I do to get some help?

00;16;06;09 - 00;16;09;09

And then this destabilizes

the entire French monarchy.

00;16;09;09 - 00;16;10;24

Losing support of Burgundy

00;16;10;24 - 00;16;13;19

puts the French in a position

to sign the Treaty of Trois,

00;16;13;19 - 00;16;17;10

which came at the heels of several French

defeats at the hands of the English.

00;16;17;13 - 00;16;20;03

This is the same place

I mispronounced last week.

00;16;20;03 - 00;16;23;23

The bishop of this place was the one

who said that the shroud of Turin

00;16;23;23 - 00;16;25;21

was expertly painted, if you remember.

00;16;25;21 - 00;16;28;15

If not, go listen and learn some it.

00;16;28;15 - 00;16;30;25

Anyway, The Treaty of Trois was like this.

00;16;30;25 - 00;16;33;02

Like the Treaty of Versailles on steroids.

00;16;33;02 - 00;16;35;13

This treaty is

what directly leads to our topic.

00;16;35;13 - 00;16;39;21

The victories mounted by the English

in the form of ag and court and Hoffler,

00;16;39;28 - 00;16;43;21

Collin and ruin all being resounding wins,

letting the English

00;16;43;21 - 00;16;45;12

take big chunks of Normandy.

00;16;45;12 - 00;16;50;10

Meanwhile, the Burgundians

had to had captured Paris in 14, 14, 18,

00;16;50;18 - 00;16;54;04

and all these things pushed the French

to sign the Treaty of 12th Treaty of

00;16;54;04 - 00;16;57;20

what's stated that the French would

denounce Charles in the seventh

00;16;57;20 - 00;17;01;26

as their heir to as the heir

to Charles, the six crazy pants money,

00;17;01;29 - 00;17;05;09

and instead recognize Henry

the Fifth and his children due

00;17;05;09 - 00;17;10;00

to his marrying of a different daughter

of Charles, the sixth Catherine of Valois.

00;17;10;06 - 00;17;13;06

She was married in 19, which is a heck

of a lot better than her sister.

00;17;13;11 - 00;17;17;21

Anyway, this treaty was supported

by Burgundy and Brittany as well.

00;17;17;26 - 00;17;22;10

So three forces opposed to Charles

the seventh and his claim to the throne.

00;17;22;14 - 00;17;23;28

Not good odds. Right?

00;17;23;28 - 00;17;25;20

And honestly,

things would not have turned out

00;17;25;20 - 00;17;28;04

well for the French had this next bit

not happened.

00;17;28;04 - 00;17;32;10

y The fifth died in August of: 1422

leaving his infant child, Henry

00;17;32;10 - 00;17;35;16

the sixth as successor,

which really means regents and nobles

00;17;35;16 - 00;17;39;03

are the ones with the power

but is not unified as a monarchy would be.

00;17;39;06 - 00;17;42;07

Shortly after in October

the same year, Charles the mad dies.

00;17;42;11 - 00;17;43;29

Charles The seventh claimed the throne.

00;17;43;29 - 00;17;48;00

But of course, due to the Treaty of War

he was not recognized and the fight

00;17;48;00 - 00;17;48;20

ensued.

00;17;48;20 - 00;17;51;20

This is the place in which we find

Joan entering the picture.

00;17;51;23 - 00;17;54;25

So let's take a slight

step back and begin her tale.

00;17;54;28 - 00;17;56;23

So Joan was probably born in the year

00;17;56;23 - 00;18;00;15

1412 in the village of Don Remy,

which was renamed Don't.

00;18;00;18 - 00;18;04;12

Amelia Purcell after her death

and to honor her,

00;18;04;19 - 00;18;08;10

her father, Jack

the Arc and mother Isabel Ramie,

00;18;08;17 - 00;18;13;11

both farmers in the village of Don't

Write Me The name dark from her father,

00;18;13;11 - 00;18;14;07

is believed to

00;18;14;07 - 00;18;18;12

have come from Arc and Barrios,

where his ancestors are supposedly from.

00;18;18;19 - 00;18;19;26

Her mother was very devout,

00;18;19;26 - 00;18;23;07

even allegedly making a pilgrimage

to Rome, which would be

00;18;23;10 - 00;18;26;23

which could be how she earned her

last name, which I think is a testament

00;18;26;23 - 00;18;30;18

to, you know, the amount of religion

Joan we've experienced as a child.

00;18;30;18 - 00;18;34;16

Of course, everybody was a religious back

then, but to travel, thought to travel

00;18;34;16 - 00;18;39;00

in the 13th and 14th centuries from France

to Rome as a woman, pretty risky.

00;18;39;00 - 00;18;42;22

So I think, you know, that kind of speaks

to her passion as a young child,

00;18;42;26 - 00;18;45;26

a distinction I have to make since,

you know, she died so young.

00;18;45;28 - 00;18;49;01

Joan would help around the farm

doing different domestic chores

00;18;49;01 - 00;18;52;13

and also spent a lot of time

praying, a lot of time in the church.

00;18;52;13 - 00;18;55;13

Some sources I've read

say that her father tended a farmland

00;18;55;13 - 00;18;58;18

that was around 50 acres,

which is, you know, nothing to sneeze at.

00;18;58;18 - 00;19;02;09

But this was not putting them into royal

or noble categories by any means.

00;19;02;09 - 00;19;05;18

Joan herself illiterate

and is assumed her parents to be as well.

00;19;05;23 - 00;19;07;15

She also was an only child.

00;19;07;15 - 00;19;10;27

You know, she had three older brothers

and a sister, which, you know,

00;19;11;04 - 00;19;13;07

if medieval France

is anything like modern times.

00;19;13;07 - 00;19;14;07

She grew up pretty tough.

00;19;14;07 - 00;19;19;05

Three brothers, her religious life

not so quiet, the Burgundians often being,

00;19;19;08 - 00;19;21;25

you know, the controlling force

in the area

00;19;21;25 - 00;19;25;14

made raids through Dom Remy one time, even

letting the town of Blaise and stealing

00;19;25;14 - 00;19;28;15

cattle is not known

if things like this had any effect.

00;19;28;15 - 00;19;29;04

But I imagine

00;19;29;04 - 00;19;33;12

the turbulence of an existence would lean,

you know, further into religion to help.

00;19;33;12 - 00;19;33;25

Right.

00;19;33;25 - 00;19;37;17

And, you know, throughout her adolescence,

she also spent time learning

00;19;37;17 - 00;19;41;00

different things, like a domestic duties

that people describe

00;19;41;00 - 00;19;44;16

as learning to sew and spin wool

and all this stuff.

00;19;44;16 - 00;19;47;29

So that was that was how her life

so around the age of 13,

00;19;47;29 - 00;19;52;20

which would have been in 14,

,: 1425

00;19;52;20 - 00;19;55;02

unbelievable

in the form of visions of an angel

00;19;55;02 - 00;19;57;16

speaking to her

while she was tending the garden.

00;19;57;16 - 00;20;00;14

These visions originally

being pretty mundane in comparison

00;20;00;14 - 00;20;04;16

how we think of her visions now during,

you know, during her trial, Joan testified

00;20;04;16 - 00;20;08;18

that the visions at first were given to

her after bright light was shown.

00;20;08;18 - 00;20;12;04

And then St Michael's voice came to her

and gave her instructions.

00;20;12;06 - 00;20;14;09

You know, things

like how to live a good life,

00;20;14;09 - 00;20;17;14

how to be a good pupil of Christ,

that kind of thing.

00;20;17;19 - 00;20;18;27

Saint Michael, being the patron

00;20;18;27 - 00;20;22;27

saint of Douma, I mean, came to her often

and frequently when church bells rang.

00;20;23;05 - 00;20;24;22

Both interesting things to think about.

00;20;24;22 - 00;20;29;28

Later on in the story, Michael guided

Joan in piety and you know how to be

00;20;30;01 - 00;20;33;19

a good child to her parents, as well

as challenging her to remain a virgin.

00;20;33;25 - 00;20;35;27

She stated that she heard the voices

many times

00;20;35;27 - 00;20;38;00

before she realized

who was speaking to her.

00;20;38;00 - 00;20;41;01

She kept the visions quiet from others,

maybe protect herself

00;20;41;01 - 00;20;45;03

from the heretical charges

or that could befall her, or

00;20;45;05 - 00;20;48;22

being 13, maybe just self-preservation

from medieval French boys.

00;20;48;26 - 00;20;50;16

The worst of the worst, I'm pretty sure.

00;20;50;16 - 00;20;51;24

Oh, I don't know.

00;20;51;24 - 00;20;55;18

I do think that these things don't happen

in a vacuum and things didn't happen

00;20;55;18 - 00;20;56;28

like they happen in a movie.

00;20;56;28 - 00;20;59;00

Although I'm

reading from one year to the next,

00;20;59;00 - 00;21;01;05

there are day to day

things that are happening.

00;21;01;05 - 00;21;03;29

So it's not entirely out of the realm

of possibility

00;21;03;29 - 00;21;07;16

that these kids could have been

bullying her or anyone around the village.

00;21;07;16 - 00;21;09;04

Right? Kids are ruthless.

00;21;09;04 - 00;21;12;26

I mentioned that the visions

would have started around 14, 24, 14, 25.

00;21;13;03 - 00;21;16;18

She was into the heavy turmoils

claiming of the French throne.

00;21;16;18 - 00;21;17;04

Right?

00;21;17;04 - 00;21;21;19

1422 when both Charles, the MAD and Henry

the Fifth both passed

00;21;21;23 - 00;21;23;08

and sort of been cause for talk

00;21;23;08 - 00;21;27;03

and regular day to day conversations

around the countryside and Joan's village.

00;21;27;03 - 00;21;30;03

You know that was no exception

with all the talk happening some

00;21;30;03 - 00;21;33;04

some sources say

it was pretty split in the lands on who

00;21;33;04 - 00;21;36;04

they felt were who they felt

should be the king.

00;21;36;04 - 00;21;38;09

But a lot of French

held the same pride in their kingdom

00;21;38;09 - 00;21;41;20

and believe believed in all Chuck number

seven to be their rightful heir.

00;21;41;20 - 00;21;44;23

Among those were apparently the saints

there visited Joan.

00;21;44;29 - 00;21;47;15

Soon enough, Joan expressed

that Saint Michael told her

00;21;47;15 - 00;21;50;04

Saint Catherine

and Saint Margaret would be visiting her

00;21;50;04 - 00;21;53;01

and that she was

to follow their instructions and counsel.

00;21;53;01 - 00;21;54;00

These additional saints

00;21;54;00 - 00;21;57;25

would guide her, and Michael informed her

that she needed to believe truly

00;21;57;25 - 00;22;01;21

the things that she was being told

from them as it was God's plan for her.

00;22;01;23 - 00;22;05;05

It is believed to be Catherine

of Alexandria and Margaret of Antioch,

00;22;05;10 - 00;22;08;22

both of them being martyrs

and of their beliefs and virgin

00;22;08;22 - 00;22;12;15

saints, which, if it is true, real

writing on the wall to Joan's destiny.

00;22;12;17 - 00;22;13;07

If not, then

00;22;13;07 - 00;22;17;07

it could also be pretty telling about how

well aware she was of the impending doom

00;22;17;07 - 00;22;17;29

during the trial,

00;22;17;29 - 00;22;21;10

which is where a lot of these stories

were told from Joan herself.

00;22;21;10 - 00;22;24;05

Anyway, by the time she turned

17, the voices went from telling her

00;22;24;05 - 00;22;26;16

how to be a good person

in the eyes of God.

00;22;26;16 - 00;22;29;16

But now they were speaking

what was expected.

00;22;29;16 - 00;22;32;13

So Saint Michael expressed

a heavy task in front of her

00;22;32;13 - 00;22;36;16

and gave her instructions of no plans of

assisting the French to claim the throne

00;22;36;21 - 00;22;37;21

and the trials of Joan.

00;22;37;21 - 00;22;40;21

She spoke on how

she was initially hesitant to the calling.

00;22;40;24 - 00;22;41;16

She believed herself

00;22;41;16 - 00;22;44;22

not to be worthy of the task

and even told Michael that she was now

00;22;44;24 - 00;22;47;08

a poor girl

who knew nothing of battle and warfare.

00;22;47;08 - 00;22;47;29

But eventually

00;22;47;29 - 00;22;51;19

she relented under God's direction

and that she believed in the charge

00;22;51;22 - 00;22;52;16

for herself.

00;22;52;16 - 00;22;56;11

So at around either 16 or 17,

Joan begins to talk about her mission

00;22;56;17 - 00;22;58;29

and how the Archangel

Michael instructed her

00;22;58;29 - 00;23;02;02

that she was needed to help Charles

the seventh descend back to the throne.

00;23;02;08 - 00;23;06;01

So she began to seek out someone

who could get her in a physical meeting

00;23;06;01 - 00;23;09;13

with Dawson, a term used to describe

the next in line for the throne.

00;23;09;17 - 00;23;11;07

If you're familiar with the story of Joan,

00;23;11;07 - 00;23;14;10

you will probably remember

that there was also a prophecy of sorts

00;23;14;17 - 00;23;17;22

a stated an armed

virgin would be the savior of France.

00;23;17;28 - 00;23;21;10

There's a couple of reasons

why this prophecy could have came out.

00;23;21;16 - 00;23;25;10

Number one

is that the the wizard Merlin from King

00;23;25;10 - 00;23;28;10

Arthur Legends is created this prophecy.

00;23;28;14 - 00;23;30;00

But you know, he's not real.

00;23;30;00 - 00;23;32;09

So we can't exactly

put a lot of faith in that.

00;23;32;09 - 00;23;35;08

There was also there's also another one

that may or may

00;23;35;08 - 00;23;38;19

not have came in response

to Isabel, the queen,

00;23;38;25 - 00;23;43;03

queen of Charles the sixth,

and how she was sleeping around.

00;23;43;03 - 00;23;47;10

And basically they're like, we need a

you know, a pious and virgin woman

00;23;47;10 - 00;23;51;00

to save us because this harlot screwed us

over, essentially.

00;23;51;06 - 00;23;53;26

But still,

there were the whisperings of these

00;23;53;26 - 00;23;56;25

supposed prophecies

and thoughts about the savior of France.

00;23;56;25 - 00;23;59;25

And after the Treaty of Trois, there was,

I think,

00;23;59;27 - 00;24;02;27

you know, many people

would have been desperate for something.

00;24;02;27 - 00;24;03;12

Right.

00;24;03;12 - 00;24;06;15

So young Joan was tasked

with trying to make this vision a reality.

00;24;06;15 - 00;24;10;19

She had to gain travel to the head

of our Monarch Court to see Charles.

00;24;10;23 - 00;24;13;21

But with how divided and cut up

France was at the time, there's

00;24;13;21 - 00;24;17;08

no real straight shot

She needed, at the very least, an escort.

00;24;17;16 - 00;24;22;08

I've seen it placed as either

her uncle or her dad took her in May of

00;24;22;10 - 00;24;25;21

in May of: 1428

00;24;25;24 - 00;24;27;05

Probably Robert. Right.

00;24;27;05 - 00;24;28;10

Do bald in court.

00;24;28;10 - 00;24;30;21

Yeah. Nailed it.

00;24;30;21 - 00;24;33;13

Or Robert about in court.

00;24;33;13 - 00;24;38;06

Who was commander of a stronghold

in Vacca Lure one that supported Charles.

00;24;38;11 - 00;24;40;20

She told him that she needed an audience

with the king.

00;24;40;20 - 00;24;44;00

Which, you know, Robert was,

you know, not going to entertain.

00;24;44;02 - 00;24;46;25

If he told her that her father

should give her a good whipping

00;24;46;25 - 00;24;49;01

to set her right again,

which I think is fair.

00;24;49;01 - 00;24;53;01

You know, this guy is the commander

of a stronghold in a section of France

00;24;53;01 - 00;24;56;19

that is full of burgundians and,

you know, probably pretty stressed out.

00;24;56;22 - 00;25;00;15

Then you get this 17 year old peasant

girl, comes into your mojo Dojo

00;25;00;18 - 00;25;03;19

house, tells you

that you need to take her to see the king.

00;25;03;25 - 00;25;05;27

You know, he probably had a few

other things to worry about.

00;25;05;27 - 00;25;08;11

So she goes home.

Probably pretty upset at that.

00;25;08;11 - 00;25;11;04

Her visions would lead her

to such a broken path to success.

00;25;11;04 - 00;25;13;21

Right?

Do either to good luck or bad. Soon.

00;25;13;21 - 00;25;16;21

The region was attacked by the Burgundians

in July of the same year

00;25;16;26 - 00;25;19;24

who'd been hearing

rumors of the supposed savior of France

00;25;19;24 - 00;25;22;27

and essentially wanted to send a message

or maybe wanted to squash

00;25;22;27 - 00;25;27;00

any hope that the French court might have

had they specifically raided Dome Remi,

00;25;27;00 - 00;25;30;29

which set the town on fire,

which I'd mentioned earlier in this raid.

00;25;30;29 - 00;25;33;10

Crops were destroyed,

animals were taken, and Joan

00;25;33;10 - 00;25;36;00

and her family,

as well as other villagers, had to flee.

00;25;36;00 - 00;25;38;10

After the raid, she returned to folklore.

00;25;38;10 - 00;25;41;24

Try again to get audience for check number

seven again.

00;25;41;24 - 00;25;43;08

Robert turned her away.

00;25;43;08 - 00;25;46;22

The difference this time being that

some of his soldiers spoke on her behalf

00;25;46;22 - 00;25;51;05

and she was summoned to the channel

where Charles's court was held.

00;25;51;09 - 00;25;54;06

Robert assigned her an escort,

and Joan decided to do

00;25;54;06 - 00;25;57;06

some creative wardrobe thing

to aid in her dangerous trip.

00;25;57;11 - 00;26;01;01

She also had a letter written for her

because she couldn't read or write

00;26;01;09 - 00;26;03;12

to be sent ahead of her and she signed it.

00;26;03;12 - 00;26;06;20

La Purcell or the made the trip itself

would have been close

00;26;06;20 - 00;26;10;02

to 300 miles, which had been around an 11

day trip back then.

00;26;10;03 - 00;26;12;01

This trip would have been full

of different encounters.

00;26;12;01 - 00;26;15;05

So the idea that, you know,

she needed to disguise herself

00;26;15;05 - 00;26;19;04

as to not draw suspicion, especially when

the Burgundians are now looking for her.

00;26;19;06 - 00;26;22;02

So she cuts her hair

short and dresses like a man,

00;26;22;02 - 00;26;25;04

and they look that she would carry

for the rest of her life.

00;26;25;11 - 00;26;27;10

She also carried herself,

just as the men did

00;26;27;10 - 00;26;29;04

in this journey,

wanting no special treatment.

00;26;29;04 - 00;26;33;08

And this was something that really gained

favor for her in the eyes of the soldiers

00;26;33;08 - 00;26;34;09

that surrounded her.

00;26;34;09 - 00;26;36;18

Joan arrived early.: 1429

00;26;36;18 - 00;26;39;18

The exact method of how she was brought in

is not known, but

00;26;39;24 - 00;26;43;16

most prevailing story is that

is that Charles and his corps had a plan.

00;26;43;16 - 00;26;47;05

They disguised the true Charles and placed

a fake in his place in the court.

00;26;47;11 - 00;26;51;01

When Joan arrived and said that

she correctly identified the to be king.

00;26;51;04 - 00;26;52;18

This was impressive enough for the king,

00;26;52;18 - 00;26;56;06

but he still wanted to interview

the girl, see exactly what her plans were.

00;26;56;13 - 00;26;58;10

Nobody knows what was said

in this meeting,

00;26;58;10 - 00;27;01;16

but we do know that Charles left

the meeting impressed and full of belief.

00;27;01;21 - 00;27;05;02

He then charged the local church

to have their own interview

00;27;05;02 - 00;27;09;01

slash interrogation of sorts,

where they were to judge her piety.

00;27;09;01 - 00;27;10;07

Among other things,

00;27;10;07 - 00;27;12;20

they did not find anything

that would dissuade the faith,

00;27;12;20 - 00;27;15;13

and that was now growing around

the young maid.

00;27;15;13 - 00;27;19;02

As took weeks and once done,

they asked her if she could demonstrate

00;27;19;08 - 00;27;22;05

or share her abilities,

but allegedly she just told them

00;27;22;05 - 00;27;25;07

that they should send her to Orleans

and let her prove herself.

00;27;25;11 - 00;27;26;05

And they agreed.

00;27;26;05 - 00;27;29;25

And 14 and late

April of: 1429

00;27;29;25 - 00;27;32;21

by a small group of soldiers

to join the effort to lift the siege

00;27;32;21 - 00;27;36;03

in Audley on which had been going on

for quite a while until this.

00;27;36;03 - 00;27;37;18

They were really as well.

00;27;37;18 - 00;27;40;14

They had no real plan

of freeing the besieged city.

00;27;40;14 - 00;27;42;12

While Joan wasn't giving any weapons,

00;27;42;12 - 00;27;46;14

she was fitted with an armor giving banner

to carry into battle, which makes sense.

00;27;46;14 - 00;27;47;04

That would be,

00;27;47;04 - 00;27;50;23

you know, total thrashing with her

severe lack of training at this point.

00;27;50;29 - 00;27;55;00

And while she wasn't, you know, assigned

or given a weapon, she did find one

00;27;55;01 - 00;27;58;24

kind of she instructed some people

to find a sword, which was located at St

00;27;58;24 - 00;28;02;23

Catherine's Church in Fairborn,

and that would be behind an altar.

00;28;02;28 - 00;28;04;01

And that's pretty cool.

00;28;04;01 - 00;28;07;04

Little bit of magical medieval

loot drops going on.

00;28;07;06 - 00;28;08;11

That's always helpful.

00;28;08;11 - 00;28;11;17

Mission itself

was seen as a test to the divine power

00;28;11;17 - 00;28;15;12

that was behind Joan and having her serve

as essentially a hype train.

00;28;15;12 - 00;28;19;11

While early on was besieged, there was

still a way to get into the city,

00;28;19;18 - 00;28;21;10

and Joan was brought in by a commander

00;28;21;10 - 00;28;24;01

which was met

with a resounding amount of support.

00;28;24;01 - 00;28;25;21

These people were desperate, right?

00;28;25;21 - 00;28;29;04

I assume a lot of these soldiers

and people were aware of the legend

00;28;29;04 - 00;28;29;25

and prophesies

00;28;29;25 - 00;28;33;16

and going on around the time rumblings

of the one true savior and all that.

00;28;33;23 - 00;28;37;05

And the actual fighting, John, would be,

you know, the inspiration of the men

00;28;37;05 - 00;28;41;04

who were fighting, which quickly began,

you know, and turning the tide.

00;28;41;05 - 00;28;43;20

May 4th, the ones

defending French were now attacking.

00;28;43;20 - 00;28;46;03

And after a day,

they were pleased with the efforts

00;28;46;03 - 00;28;48;25

the now inspired Army

was making on the next day,

00;28;48;25 - 00;28;51;29

no fighting took place

due to it being Ascension Thursday,

00;28;51;29 - 00;28;54;00

which is kind of wild

how formal, you know,

00;28;54;00 - 00;28;57;26

some of these events could be like, hey,

we want to kill all of you, but like

00;28;57;28 - 00;28;59;17

not today. It's a Jesus day.

00;28;59;17 - 00;29;03;11

Okay, So the next few days after that,

the English began to retreat,

00;29;03;13 - 00;29;07;13

you know, with the French advancing

and some commanders believed it to be

00;29;07;15 - 00;29;09;07

have been enough stopped.

00;29;09;07 - 00;29;13;12

And John was encouraging them to continue

this theme, happen a couple more times

00;29;13;12 - 00;29;16;12

and led to the siege

of an English fortification on the seventh

00;29;16;20 - 00;29;18;03

in which Joan was injured.

00;29;18;03 - 00;29;19;09

She was hit by an arrow

00;29;19;09 - 00;29;22;10

between the neck and shoulder,

which sounds like a terrible place

00;29;22;10 - 00;29;23;16

to get hit with an arrow.

00;29;23;16 - 00;29;26;04

A lot of really important things

going on in that region.

00;29;26;04 - 00;29;27;22

Also, any place would probably suck.

00;29;27;22 - 00;29;28;27

To get hit by an arrow,

00;29;28;27 - 00;29;32;29

hands down would rather be shot

by a non hollow point round than an arrow

00;29;33;01 - 00;29;35;27

just through and through the arrows

meant to dig in and stick

00;29;35;27 - 00;29;37;28

There sucked a pull out. I don't know.

00;29;37;28 - 00;29;40;28

She was removed from the fighting,

but then she returned further,

00;29;40;28 - 00;29;42;27

you know, to further rally the troops.

00;29;42;27 - 00;29;46;01

Shortly after, I think it was a day

later and that, you know,

00;29;46;07 - 00;29;49;07

just embolden

the French belief in her further.

00;29;49;07 - 00;29;52;20

She returned her, been erased,

inspiring yet another victory,

00;29;52;20 - 00;29;56;04

and the English had begun their retreat

by the by the 8th of May.

00;29;56;04 - 00;29;59;04

As mentioned, the faith of her

divine force was put to the test

00;29;59;05 - 00;30;01;27

and they asked, you know,

what she could do to demonstrate.

00;30;01;27 - 00;30;03;18

And she told them to send her to Orleans.

00;30;03;18 - 00;30;05;00

And this was a victory.

00;30;05;00 - 00;30;07;24

The French had a sign of life

in their fight against the English.

00;30;07;24 - 00;30;08;26

The English, on the other hand.

00;30;08;26 - 00;30;10;04

Well, I think they probably thought

00;30;10;04 - 00;30;13;16

she was some sort of devil temptress,

which is how it always works.

00;30;13;16 - 00;30;14;01

Right?

00;30;14;01 - 00;30;17;01

One team gets the praise of God

and the other team is being challenged

00;30;17;01 - 00;30;17;20

by the devil.

00;30;17;20 - 00;30;20;25

While this was all going on, the French

felt that they had done good work.

00;30;20;25 - 00;30;23;01

But John was adamant

that the fight continue

00;30;23;01 - 00;30;24;29

the target she felt

they should move on towards.

00;30;24;29 - 00;30;29;20

Next was rain where they could crown

Charles the only issue that rained be

00;30;29;22 - 00;30;32;14

lay on the other side

of English controlled lands.

00;30;32;14 - 00;30;38;07

John joined up with John the second

who was duke of Ireland going in his army.

00;30;38;10 - 00;30;43;21

They cleared away through several bridge

towns Chicago, Mosul, Noah and woods

00;30;43;21 - 00;30;47;10

and see all French sound, all more French

sounding than the last one.

00;30;47;15 - 00;30;49;10

Once this was done, they had their

00;30;49;10 - 00;30;53;24

they had their out for soon

made king to continue to frame this actual

00;30;53;25 - 00;30;56;25

the actual conquests happened

throughout the month of June with the

00;30;57;00 - 00;30;59;25

you know

beginning 11th beginning on the 11th

00;30;59;25 - 00;31;03;11

were Joan and Joan

and co besieging our Chicago.

00;31;03;13 - 00;31;06;02

Joan upon arrival had sent a letter

demanding surrender

00;31;06;02 - 00;31;09;09

which is something she did pretty often,

but the English did not agree.

00;31;09;16 - 00;31;11;16

Joan suggested

attacking the walls of the city,

00;31;11;16 - 00;31;15;25

which resulted in the town being taken

shortly after and in the reading for this,

00;31;15;25 - 00;31;19;00

they may sound super impressive,

but like that's your second option

00;31;19;00 - 00;31;22;25

of a walled city

like front gate first, then walls like.

00;31;22;28 - 00;31;25;11

Anyway, she tried to scale the walls

with their comrades

00;31;25;11 - 00;31;27;01

and she was hit with a stone in the head.

00;31;27;01 - 00;31;30;17

Luckily, having her helmet

on, she survived longshore low.

00;31;30;17 - 00;31;31;28

I was pretty quick, the English

00;31;31;28 - 00;31;34;11

retreating to a castle

on the other side of the river

00;31;34;11 - 00;31;37;16

that the French were trying to cross,

which was the LA River,

00;31;37;23 - 00;31;39;13

leading to the final showdown at Borden.

00;31;39;13 - 00;31;43;29

See the army that had retreated, regrouped

with the English army coming from Paris

00;31;43;29 - 00;31;47;08

and came to relief to relieve the English

ab wait and see

00;31;47;14 - 00;31;50;14

who had already surrendered

and had no clue that help was on the way.

00;31;50;20 - 00;31;54;06

So that Army left

and Joan thought they should pursue them.

00;31;54;06 - 00;31;55;12

And with that they did.

00;31;55;12 - 00;31;58;17

And which led to a victory

for the dominant force of English,

00;31;58;17 - 00;31;59;15

tried to be sneaky

00;31;59;15 - 00;32;03;02

with their actions against the French,

but the French sniffed out any ambush

00;32;03;07 - 00;32;06;09

and the victory was massive

for the French onwards, the French

00;32;06;09 - 00;32;09;29

marched, trying to reach freedom

so they could crown their king.

00;32;10;06 - 00;32;13;12

They went forward

liberating places like Auxerre Trois,

00;32;13;13 - 00;32;16;01

which was probably a wonderful victory

as it was the signing

00;32;16;01 - 00;32;20;22

of the original humiliating, humiliating

Treaty of Trois on the 16th of July reign.

00;32;20;22 - 00;32;21;18

Welcome the Army.

00;32;21;18 - 00;32;25;28

It what was once seeming and what was once

a seeming impossible task.

00;32;25;28 - 00;32;29;14

The simple addition of a teen inspired

by God had done the unthinkable.

00;32;29;14 - 00;32;33;10

The next day Charles was crowned, during

which Joan was given a place of honor.

00;32;33;17 - 00;32;34;25

She told the Crown.

00;32;34;25 - 00;32;38;01

She told the crowd of the ceremony

that God's will was done in a gesture

00;32;38;01 - 00;32;40;29

where she knelt before him

and called him her king.

00;32;40;29 - 00;32;43;25

With Charles being crowned, Burgundy,

began a shift of peace.

00;32;43;25 - 00;32;46;22

Things

began to seem like they were worked out.

00;32;46;22 - 00;32;48;29

That's it. Game over, right? Wrong.

00;32;48;29 - 00;32;51;10

Joan now

felt a higher calling within herself,

00;32;51;10 - 00;32;54;01

not from visions,

but maybe a sense of duty.

00;32;54;01 - 00;32;56;08

There is still Paris to go after all.

00;32;56;08 - 00;32;58;19

So our monarch army continued with Joan

00;32;58;19 - 00;33;02;18

until the siege of Paris

wasn't an easy one on September 8th.

00;33;02;20 - 00;33;03;13

That's right.

00;33;03;13 - 00;33;04;17

Big day in history.

00;33;04;17 - 00;33;06;23

My birthday for anybody who is unaware.

00;33;06;23 - 00;33;10;00

Anyway, on September 8th,

Joan is shot in the leg by a crossbow,

00;33;10;00 - 00;33;13;04

which I feel like might be only less bad

than getting shot

00;33;13;04 - 00;33;16;08

in the neck with a bow and arrow,

probably by a small margin.

00;33;16;10 - 00;33;17;27

I don't plan on testing it out.

00;33;17;27 - 00;33;19;26

Joan wasn't the only one hurt or injured.

00;33;19;26 - 00;33;24;03

Our monarch forces lost: 1500

an attempt in Charles ordered the retreat.

00;33;24;09 - 00;33;28;14

Joan and John, the second Duke

from earlier arranged plans to continue.

00;33;28;14 - 00;33;31;20

But Charles found out and had the bridge

they plan on using dismantled

00;33;31;20 - 00;33;33;10

since he feared that their actions

00;33;33;10 - 00;33;36;11

would further hinder negotiations

he had with the Burgundians.

00;33;36;13 - 00;33;39;13

Charles had already managed

to negotiate a truce, which was initially

00;33;39;13 - 00;33;42;25

that of four months,

ot extended through Easter of: 1430

00;33;43;01 - 00;33;46;03

While this truce was ongoing,

the Duke of Burgundy began to take over

00;33;46;03 - 00;33;50;00

towns that had been been negotiated as his

but still held out.

00;33;50;00 - 00;33;52;29

And Joan assembled a volunteer army

to help some of these places.

00;33;52;29 - 00;33;55;05

One such place was campaign

00;33;55;05 - 00;33;58;21

town, slightly north of Paris

and slightly west of Rome.

00;33;58;23 - 00;34;01;06

arrived at the town in May of: 1430

00;34;01;06 - 00;34;03;06

In the battle,

she was knocked from her horse

00;34;03;06 - 00;34;05;16

and found herself behind enemy lines.

00;34;05;16 - 00;34;06;29

She gave up, letting herself

00;34;06;29 - 00;34;10;20

get captured, probably believing that

Charles would allow her to be traded back.

00;34;10;23 - 00;34;12;18

And this was really

the beginning of the end.

00;34;12;18 - 00;34;14;26

Joan was captured by the Burgundians,

who at this point

00;34;14;26 - 00;34;18;21

we're not very friendly with Charles

and had not been working with the English

00;34;18;23 - 00;34;20;28

and had been working

with the English for a long time.

00;34;20;28 - 00;34;25;05

So they were kind of cozied up relatively

well already English for some sinister

00;34;25;05 - 00;34;29;09

type of retribution against the,

you know, the devil, the so-called maid

00;34;29;09 - 00;34;33;04

of all Leone, the woman who they felt

damage their claim to the French throne.

00;34;33;11 - 00;34;35;19

Also, meanwhile,

the English had their infant king

00;34;35;19 - 00;34;38;19

coronated and was now a whopping

nine years old, which,

00;34;38;25 - 00;34;41;28

you know,

you must also little old at that point.

00;34;41;28 - 00;34;43;14

Might as well have a foot in the grave.

00;34;43;14 - 00;34;46;01

Anyway, she was held by the Burgundians

for months on end,

00;34;46;01 - 00;34;48;18

threatened with violence,

both physical and sexual.

00;34;48;18 - 00;34;50;24

She even made an attempt

to leap from the castle.

00;34;50;24 - 00;34;51;23

But she survived.

00;34;51;23 - 00;34;54;29

Though there is speculation

that this was due to her finding out where

00;34;54;29 - 00;35;00;02

she was about to be going In November

of: 1430

00;35;00;04 - 00;35;04;27

to the by the burgundians for a price

of 10,000 francs and brought to Rome.

00;35;05;01 - 00;35;07;19

I think the English probably

would have paid way more. But who knows?

00;35;07;19 - 00;35;09;26

Charles did

not even attempt to regain Joan.

00;35;09;26 - 00;35;12;07

And this probably heartbreaking to her.

00;35;12;07 - 00;35;16;12

While the English paid the hefty sum,

their legal court was not the trying

00;35;16;12 - 00;35;17;13

force. Joan.

00;35;17;13 - 00;35;21;14

Joan was being tried by a church court

of sorts, racking up 70 charges,

00;35;21;14 - 00;35;24;22

which I'm no expert,

but I think I'm pretty sure she would get

00;35;24;22 - 00;35;28;13

a gold selling rap album

based off her street cred alone here.

00;35;28;14 - 00;35;32;21

Some of these things were general

like heresy or witchcraft and others

00;35;32;21 - 00;35;36;07

more specific, like dressing like a man,

predicting the future and even theft.

00;35;36;10 - 00;35;39;27

I know it might seem silly wearing the

men's clothes, but it was a biblical law.

00;35;40;05 - 00;35;42;10

So that was,

you know, pretty hard to beat.

00;35;42;10 - 00;35;43;17

Before the trial had begun,

00;35;43;17 - 00;35;47;03

she was held in a standing iron cage,

which she would stay in until December.

00;35;47;10 - 00;35;50;05

Her virginity was also something

very focused on the midwives,

00;35;50;05 - 00;35;53;06

checking her in whatever medical

where they deemed to be effective,

00;35;53;06 - 00;35;55;17

which I am sure is probably wrong

medically.

00;35;55;17 - 00;35;58;16

But, you know,

that's what they did back then.

00;35;58;16 - 00;36;00;04

It was also a major theme in the trial,

00;36;00;04 - 00;36;02;20

a lot of a lot of theology

that was aimed to trip her up

00;36;02;20 - 00;36;06;05

the source of the supposed divine woman

while being charged by the church.

00;36;06;05 - 00;36;10;27

She was held in a military prison,

which is, you know, pretty bad conditions.

00;36;11;04 - 00;36;13;11

I don't think anybody's

really surprised by that.

00;36;13;11 - 00;36;16;12

She was harassed by jailers

left in a cell with a dirty bed,

00;36;16;12 - 00;36;19;18

barely said, you know, real double tree

level service here.

00;36;19;21 - 00;36;23;01

The trial itself was probably where

Joan was given any reprieve,

00;36;23;08 - 00;36;25;20

inning officially in March of: 1431

00;36;25;20 - 00;36;30;11

She had been fielding questions in an

icial manner since January of: 1431

00;36;30;12 - 00;36;33;19

She was interrogated without actually

knowing what her charges were.

00;36;33;19 - 00;36;37;15

And even despite this, they were forced

to throw out almost 60 charges

00;36;37;15 - 00;36;39;29

and just shows the,

you know, intelligence she had

00;36;39;29 - 00;36;42;02

and how well versed

she was in the scripture

00;36;42;02 - 00;36;44;23

and the theological law

that they tried to trap her up.

00;36;44;23 - 00;36;47;11

It one famous example

I found was when she was asked

00;36;47;11 - 00;36;50;22

if she knew if she was in

God's grace, responded by stating that

00;36;50;29 - 00;36;53;29

if she was not in God's grace,

she hoped God would put her there.

00;36;54;03 - 00;36;58;05

And if she was in God's grace,

then she hope she would remain.

00;36;58;05 - 00;37;02;17

And this apparently stunned the audience

and things like this made the public trial

00;37;02;17 - 00;37;04;02

much more private.

00;37;04;02 - 00;37;05;12

They moved it to her cell

00;37;05;12 - 00;37;08;18

because they didn't want the public

watching her embarrass these people,

00;37;08;18 - 00;37;12;20

even though this was the case, one

cleric abdicated his position, feeling

00;37;12;20 - 00;37;13;14

that the trial

00;37;13;14 - 00;37;17;14

to be unfair in her confessions, coerced

some things that have been alleged,

00;37;17;14 - 00;37;19;15

but no record of actually occurring

00;37;19;15 - 00;37;22;23

or just mistranslations

of what was happening were, you know,

00;37;22;23 - 00;37;26;26

threats of rape and torture to combat

these things that I'm pretty sure

00;37;26;26 - 00;37;31;25

she was aware of the potential of,

you know, a sexual assault of any kind

00;37;31;28 - 00;37;34;28

to the point of fashioning her own pseudo

chastity belt.

00;37;35;01 - 00;37;39;23

She combined a bunch of different fabrics

and then caught and then tied into this

00;37;39;23 - 00;37;43;28

very intricately knotted up contraption

that would be a pain

00;37;43;28 - 00;37;44;28

in the butt to get off.

00;37;44;28 - 00;37;49;03

And if anybody was to get it off,

people would know that kind of thing.

00;37;49;06 - 00;37;51;12

However, they dealt with that

and all of that

00;37;51;12 - 00;37;53;27

kind of leads me to believe that

hopefully it did not happen.

00;37;53;27 - 00;37;58;06

Now, the exception being

when she was given a mock execution

00;37;58;08 - 00;38;01;05

and at some point they just kind of got

tired of dealing with her

00;38;01;05 - 00;38;05;05

and she was given a mock execution

that, you know, she was tied to the stake

00;38;05;05 - 00;38;09;23

and told to recant her lies, admit guilt,

and she eventually had done so.

00;38;09;23 - 00;38;13;18

I guess the fear of being

in the actual spot probably probably

00;38;13;18 - 00;38;16;29

made a switch in her mind to many things

they cared about over anything else.

00;38;16;29 - 00;38;21;02

Where, you know, the visions of angels

and, you know, the divine virginity

00;38;21;09 - 00;38;24;04

and the clothing of the men

that she was wearing.

00;38;24;04 - 00;38;27;23

And it's wild to me that know religion

founded fundamentally on believing

00;38;27;23 - 00;38;31;29

a lot of wild stories, decided, you know,

down the road to turn people away,

00;38;32;02 - 00;38;35;17

you know, with this level of passion

for the teachings, I'm

00;38;35;17 - 00;38;38;00

in no way religious,

but this is wild to me that they

00;38;38;00 - 00;38;41;17

can just be so sure that she's a heretic

because she was on the other team.

00;38;41;22 - 00;38;44;20

Like if they peeled back

that thought process a little bit

00;38;44;20 - 00;38;47;29

further, Jesus could very well

not have been on their team either.

00;38;48;02 - 00;38;51;01

John had withstood months of insane

and outlandish questions.

00;38;51;01 - 00;38;52;29

Hours upon hours of questioning,

00;38;52;29 - 00;38;56;21

poor conditions, clergy

finally got down to brass tacks with her.

00;38;56;27 - 00;39;00;13

So like I said, they did the mock

execution, gave her the old tomato

00;39;00;20 - 00;39;02;05

the ultimatum,

00;39;02;05 - 00;39;05;06

told her not to wear women's clothes

and she would be able to live

00;39;05;13 - 00;39;07;23

as she confessed.

She signed the confession.

00;39;07;23 - 00;39;11;00

And I mentioned how specific

these guys really cared about the men's

00;39;11;00 - 00;39;14;00

clothes thing, which is really,

you know, key to this next part.

00;39;14;00 - 00;39;17;12

And it also kind of makes them suspicions

on how this next part goes.

00;39;17;12 - 00;39;22;06

So I'm going to do a Tarantino style right

as the guard straps Joan to the stake,

00;39;22;10 - 00;39;25;15

one guard giving her a small wooden cross

to hold on to for comfort.

00;39;25;16 - 00;39;27;28

The clergy looks upon her

in disgust. Stale.

00;39;27;28 - 00;39;30;19

After all this,

you choose to wear the cloth of a man.

00;39;30;19 - 00;39;31;24

How dare you?

00;39;31;24 - 00;39;35;21

Who are you to defy the law of the God

as written in that of Deuteronomy chapter

00;39;35;21 - 00;39;39;25

22, verse five A woman shall not wear

what pertained a thorn to a man.

00;39;39;25 - 00;39;43;03

Neither, Neither shall a man

put on a woman's garment.

00;39;43;06 - 00;39;45;24

For all that do abomination unto the Lord

00;39;45;24 - 00;39;49;20

our God as a striking place play scratches

a fire to live from the 20th century.

00;39;49;20 - 00;39;50;22

Zippo. Yes.

00;39;50;22 - 00;39;52;23

This is actually a modern retelling

of this tale.

00;39;52;23 - 00;39;56;03

In the version in the Vision

of Basil Hermann's Romeo and Juliet.

00;39;56;10 - 00;39;58;04

Anyway, the lighting of the lighter sparks

00;39;58;04 - 00;40;01;22

a flashback effect into the cramped

and dreary cell of the military prison.

00;40;01;29 - 00;40;05;20

Joan being accosted by guards

only left with men's clothing in her cell.

00;40;05;27 - 00;40;07;24

The maniacal laughter

of the English brutes

00;40;07;24 - 00;40;12;07

echoing off the wall of the cobblestone

walls as she has to choose to be

00;40;12;13 - 00;40;14;05

either naked before these mongoloid

00;40;14;05 - 00;40;17;01

or to break her confession

to wear the men's cloth once again,

00;40;17;01 - 00;40;19;10

when the clergy find her,

she is still wearing those clothes

00;40;19;10 - 00;40;20;25

and thus brought to execution.

00;40;20;25 - 00;40;22;27

The other version

is that a flash of light comes to her

00;40;22;27 - 00;40;24;12

and she lays in the dark cell.

00;40;24;12 - 00;40;25;09

At nighttime,

00;40;25;09 - 00;40;27;25

her eyes struggle to focus

from the lack of proper food,

00;40;27;25 - 00;40;30;19

but she finds angels

visiting her once again.

00;40;30;19 - 00;40;31;20

She is challenged by them

00;40;31;20 - 00;40;35;12

to stick to her personal virtues

and thus once again dress like a man.

00;40;35;17 - 00;40;38;05

Either version leads to the same

unfortunate fate.

00;40;38;05 - 00;40;41;05

It is actually interesting

how much of this testimony is available.

00;40;41;05 - 00;40;44;12

Also, like like I of course,

had to rely on translators sources,

00;40;44;12 - 00;40;46;14

but there's quite a lot of this stuff

that has been,

00;40;46;14 - 00;40;48;19

you know, endured for these years.

00;40;48;19 - 00;40;52;21

And the next part being one of them, on

th,: 1431

00;40;52;21 - 00;40;57;08

to Plaistow, a veal mush, and may or may

not have been given a small wooden cross.

00;40;57;13 - 00;41;00;15

And then she was

then tied to the stake and burnt alive.

00;41;00;20 - 00;41;03;26

Unlike most of these kinds of executions.

00;41;03;29 - 00;41;07;25

Actually, her executioner was ordered

not to give her any mercy, which would be,

00;41;07;25 - 00;41;09;20

you know, killing her

before the flames had.

00;41;09;20 - 00;41;12;25

I, for one, would like to never end up

being burnt alive.

00;41;12;26 - 00;41;13;20

That and drowning

00;41;13;20 - 00;41;16;24

are like two of the least

exciting ways to go, closely followed

00;41;16;24 - 00;41;20;12

by number three, which is the slow stab

from Saving Private Ryan.

00;41;20;16 - 00;41;24;22

Anyway, the fire was lit as it consumed

her screams of a terrified child

00;41;24;22 - 00;41;26;16

rang out throughout the square.

00;41;26;16 - 00;41;28;15

Make no mistake, she was a child.

00;41;28;15 - 00;41;29;15

She's only 19,

00;41;29;15 - 00;41;34;01

and her last words were prayers to Jesus,

basically just screaming out Jesus.

00;41;34;01 - 00;41;37;26

This name of this event also had an effect

on bystanders, which which was said

00;41;37;26 - 00;41;41;06

to be, you know, in the thousands,

maybe even tens of thousands.

00;41;41;11 - 00;41;43;08

One woman saw Jesus in the fire.

00;41;43;08 - 00;41;47;08

Another man who hated her passed out

and had hallucinations of doves

00;41;47;08 - 00;41;51;25

flying from France as she died, you know,

symbolizing that she was moving on.

00;41;51;28 - 00;41;54;28

And this virtuous and, you know, pure

00;41;54;28 - 00;41;57;28

thing was leaving

France, maybe abandoning it.

00;41;58;02 - 00;41;59;26

She would be burnt three times in total.

00;41;59;26 - 00;42;03;18

Make sure her body was, you know, over

and gone and then thrown into the river.

00;42;03;18 - 00;42;07;12

Sin executioner allegedly

had to have been unable to burn her

00;42;07;12 - 00;42;10;12

organs, which felt was,

you know, a miracle of sorts.

00;42;10;17 - 00;42;15;11

And so he went to the clergy and said so

and was like weeping.

00;42;15;16 - 00;42;20;01

Now, some historians believe this event

to be a very important point in history

00;42;20;01 - 00;42;23;07

in terms of how, you know, witch trials

and witch hunts were carried out.

00;42;23;12 - 00;42;27;09

Hundreds of thousands of women would meet

a similar fate following this of Joan,

00;42;27;11 - 00;42;30;22

with all of which many of the charges

being nonsense.

00;42;30;22 - 00;42;32;25

Almost all of the charges

probably being nonsense.

00;42;32;25 - 00;42;34;14

Maybe there was one or two accurate ones.

00;42;34;14 - 00;42;36;18

You know, broken clock's right.

00;42;36;18 - 00;42;41;12

Twice a day later, that same year, young

King Henry was crowned as the French king.

00;42;41;12 - 00;42;43;04

But of course, this was not to last.

00;42;43;04 - 00;42;43;21

That brings us

00;42;43;21 - 00;42;47;06

to the end of journal Joan of Arc Life,

but not really her story, right?

00;42;47;13 - 00;42;50;13

Almost 19 years after

the 19 year old was put to death,

00;42;50;18 - 00;42;53;08

the hundred Years War

was finally at its ending actions.

00;42;53;08 - 00;42;55;07

Charles

the Seventh have been making some major

00;42;55;07 - 00;42;58;09

conquests, and progress

filled the third of Burgundy

00;42;58;09 - 00;43;02;17

and made themselves allies

with France and Charles, which freed Chuck

00;43;02;17 - 00;43;06;15

to organize his nation a little bit better

and to gear up for their next moves.

00;43;06;15 - 00;43;11;18

In: 1449

and the next year they had moved on

00;43;11;18 - 00;43;16;06

to regain Normandy, then Gascony,

which was taken back by the English

00;43;16;08 - 00;43;19;12

and then back by the French once again

in: 1453

00;43;19;19 - 00;43;22;14

This formally was the last major battle

of the Hundred Years War.

00;43;22;14 - 00;43;25;29

While they technically remained at war

for a few more decades,

00;43;25;29 - 00;43;29;03

Henry had relinquished

the Crown of France in: 1453

00;43;29;11 - 00;43;31;15

and then the war of Roses

began two years later,

00;43;31;15 - 00;43;34;10

which would make England pretty turbulent,

to say the least.

00;43;34;10 - 00;43;37;11

1455 was also the year

in which an appeal was conducted

00;43;37;11 - 00;43;40;11

on the grounds of John

not being given a fair trial.

00;43;40;18 - 00;43;43;12

I think they saw the success

in their final standing

00;43;43;12 - 00;43;46;12

after her inspiration

came at such a critical time for them,

00;43;46;15 - 00;43;48;08

and they had to do something informally.

00;43;48;08 - 00;43;50;11

Charles had a member

of the same religious college

00;43;50;11 - 00;43;52;23

that the clergy who condemned her

were a part of.

00;43;52;23 - 00;43;54;14

Look into it and found that, you know,

00;43;54;14 - 00;43;59;02

it was a farce, a total kangaroo court

that led to a man being appointed

00;43;59;04 - 00;44;02;09

who would investigate for four years

to find out the truth of her trial.

00;44;02;15 - 00;44;04;14

I bet his podcast would be so good.

00;44;04;14 - 00;44;08;03

Anyway, they had a they had

what was called a rehabilitation trial,

00;44;08;03 - 00;44;10;08

and I am imagining the dumbest visual.

00;44;10;08 - 00;44;11;12

It's just a pile of asses

00;44;11;12 - 00;44;14;12

with them yelling at her,

trying to get her to be rehabilitated.

00;44;14;14 - 00;44;15;11

I'm dumb. I don't know.

00;44;15;11 - 00;44;17;21

I don't know what you want,

but it made me laugh. Anyway.

00;44;17;21 - 00;44;20;19

In: 1455

the trial began, over 100 witnesses

00;44;20;19 - 00;44;23;22

were called, Joan's mother

even showing up, which is awesome.

00;44;23;29 - 00;44;28;00

Isabel, who was born around: 1377

to the trial to defend her little girl.

00;44;28;07 - 00;44;29;13

That's pretty awesome.

00;44;29;13 - 00;44;33;19

Her father probably would have been there,

he's recorded to have died in: 1431

00;44;33;26 - 00;44;36;23

No cause of death is listed,

but suspicion is that

00;44;36;23 - 00;44;40;00

he died from grief of his daughter's

death, which makes sense.

00;44;40;00 - 00;44;42;18

You know, he had mostly boys

and then two girls.

00;44;42;18 - 00;44;46;12

And I probably in this, you know,

medieval French man's heart rate,

00;44;46;19 - 00;44;50;13

people dying of broken hearts is also,

you know, really interesting phenomenon

00;44;50;13 - 00;44;51;08

that you see.

00;44;51;08 - 00;44;55;03

You see it with like old married couples

who die at 81 will go

00;44;55;03 - 00;44;58;09

and then a few months later, the other one

just kind of gives out to her.

00;44;58;09 - 00;45;01;09

Mom didn't know she held out

and represented her at this thing.

00;45;01;09 - 00;45;04;00

And the court found the trial to be,

you know, bogus.

00;45;04;00 - 00;45;05;16

Every charge against her negated.

00;45;05;16 - 00;45;08;25

In one article I found it was said

her execution was nullified.

00;45;08;25 - 00;45;09;24

And I was like, Yeah,

00;45;09;24 - 00;45;13;00

I don't know if that's how that works,

but yeah, that's okay.

00;45;13;02 - 00;45;18;13

The investigator who spent all the time

looking for the truth, Jean Brough,

00;45;18;15 - 00;45;21;27

is is to thank in large part

for his massive EPS,

00;45;22;00 - 00;45;25;01

is to thank for

his large is to thank in large part

00;45;25;01 - 00;45;27;17

for his massive effort

in gathering all that information.

00;45;27;17 - 00;45;32;26

Pope Callixtus the third signing off

on signed off on this which was cool

00;45;32;26 - 00;45;37;23

and also what cool pope name I'm

tired of Pope Francis Pope Dilbert Pope

00;45;37;23 - 00;45;42;23

John Paul book Give me one good Pope

Callixtus any day quick.

00;45;42;23 - 00;45;47;10

Almost 500 years later,

she was beatified by Pope Pius the 10th

00;45;47;15 - 00;45;53;28

in: 1909

the 15th in 1920 as a virgin saint.

00;45;54;01 - 00;45;58;17

Not a martyr saint or martyr virgin saint

due to the fact that she was put to death

00;45;58;17 - 00;46;02;01

by a canonical court

and they executed for her actions, not

00;46;02;01 - 00;46;05;14

her faith, apparently,

because you know, that's how that works.

00;46;05;14 - 00;46;07;26

But she's been venerated as a martyr

since then.

00;46;07;26 - 00;46;08;28

And I think anyone

00;46;08;28 - 00;46;12;18

you know who disagrees is

probably pretty foolish at the very least.

00;46;12;22 - 00;46;13;19

Definitely a martyr.

00;46;13;19 - 00;46;16;26

Joan not only inspired the French

in one of their weaker points

00;46;16;26 - 00;46;20;10

during the Hundred Years War, but,

you know, she did so with lasting effects.

00;46;20;10 - 00;46;24;19

Many historians argue that, you know, her

addition to the French was a crucial one

00;46;24;26 - 00;46;28;10

and that her momentum, you know, helped

create a resurgence in their fight.

00;46;28;10 - 00;46;30;27

And without it, Charles

would have lost everything.

00;46;30;27 - 00;46;33;25

And that could have had insane effects

on our history.

00;46;33;25 - 00;46;37;20

I know France gets turned

into a punching bag in modern and online,

00;46;37;20 - 00;46;39;04

but they were instrumental

00;46;39;04 - 00;46;42;28

in so many aspects that lead,

you know, led to our current lives.

00;46;43;04 - 00;46;44;27

No, France means no Napoleon.

00;46;44;27 - 00;46;50;08

Napoleon even praising Joan in 14

or in: 1803

00;46;50;11 - 00;46;54;28

reinstated a festival that had been held

in Joan's honor until: 1793

00;46;55;04 - 00;46;59;12

He also unveiled a creation of a new Joan

statue and early on stating, quote,

00;46;59;19 - 00;47;01;11

The illustrious Joan proved that

00;47;01;11 - 00;47;04;20

there is no miracle

which French genius cannot accomplish

00;47;04;26 - 00;47;07;12

when national independence is threatened,

end quote.

00;47;07;12 - 00;47;10;01

And kind of I mean,

00;47;10;03 - 00;47;10;12

thinking

00;47;10;12 - 00;47;13;14

about World War Two, France,

little bit of a different story, but,

00;47;13;15 - 00;47;14;24

you know, neither here nor there

00;47;14;24 - 00;47;18;19

anyway, without Napoleon,

much of Europe would be very different.

00;47;18;25 - 00;47;22;07

Without France, that also means,

you know, nobody to foot the bills

00;47;22;07 - 00;47;25;08

for the pesky farmers

in the colonies across the Atlantic Ocean

00;47;25;14 - 00;47;27;25

to gain independence

from the British Empire.

00;47;27;25 - 00;47;29;28

Looking at it

like that is really interesting

00;47;29;28 - 00;47;32;01

to see the domino effect

in which takes place.

00;47;32;01 - 00;47;36;07

Her image was used as inspiring force

for the French in World War One.

00;47;36;14 - 00;47;37;25

Same happened in World War Two.

00;47;37;25 - 00;47;39;16

But you know, every side

00;47;39;16 - 00;47;43;24

in World War two, France used her,

so kind of diminished it.

00;47;44;01 - 00;47;47;25

You know, the bitchy government

we learned about also used her image,

00;47;48;02 - 00;47;51;18

which, you know, taints it

a little little bit, you know, in bastard

00;47;51;18 - 00;47;53;14

izing someone who stood for something

00;47;53;14 - 00;47;56;07

very specific

and use it for a propaganda tool.

00;47;56;07 - 00;47;58;09

I don't know, I maybe that's just me.

00;47;58;09 - 00;48;02;27

What I do know is to this day,

Joan serves as an image for French pride.

00;48;02;29 - 00;48;05;26

Her legacy, while probably confusing

to most, is impressive,

00;48;05;26 - 00;48;09;02

and the fact that she was really only

on the scene for slightly longer

00;48;09;02 - 00;48;10;22

than a year is impressive as well.

00;48;10;22 - 00;48;14;03

Arms, plays, movies, music,

all that have been written about her.

00;48;14;09 - 00;48;18;06

Hundreds of paintings, images dedicated to

her can be found all over the place.

00;48;18;12 - 00;48;19;29

There's not really the end of the story.

00;48;19;29 - 00;48;21;12

I purposely left

00;48;21;12 - 00;48;24;10

this bit, you know, for the very end

because I wanted the story

00;48;24;10 - 00;48;26;11

told as it would have been told

during her trial.

00;48;26;11 - 00;48;28;17

So you could all make up your own minds.

00;48;28;17 - 00;48;33;24

Many believe now that what Joan's visions

a lot can be attributed to mental illness

00;48;33;24 - 00;48;37;27

among these supposedly illnesses

are schizophrenia, bipolar disorder,

00;48;37;27 - 00;48;41;23

epilepsy, hysteria,

ergot poisoning and tuberculosis.

00;48;41;26 - 00;48;44;02

There is really only records of her left

to go.

00;48;44;02 - 00;48;44;27

Loss of sense.

00;48;44;27 - 00;48;47;08

They were especially focused

on religious aspects.

00;48;47;08 - 00;48;50;14

And in the trial,

the religiousness of her claims,

00;48;50;14 - 00;48;54;04

the symptoms would have been either

attributed to that or ignored.

00;48;54;04 - 00;48;54;25

Mostly.

00;48;54;25 - 00;48;58;19

One thing I read even theorized

that she could have been stricken

00;48;58;19 - 00;49;02;26

with early onset dementia that sprung

from a case of bovine tuberculosis.

00;49;03;01 - 00;49;07;07

I think that the inclusion of this bit

really makes for a fascinating

00;49;07;07 - 00;49;09;26

look at history in general there.

There's still quite a lot

00;49;09;26 - 00;49;12;16

we don't understand

about mental illnesses to this day.

00;49;12;16 - 00;49;13;26

Imagine being in the middle Ages

00;49;13;26 - 00;49;16;26

and watching someone go through

some of the things mentioned.

00;49;16;29 - 00;49;20;09

Ergot poisoning has been famously linked

to many events, though

00;49;20;09 - 00;49;23;15

not prove like the Salem Witch trial

and the so-called dancing plague.

00;49;23;18 - 00;49;25;23

With this,

she would have definitely seen visions.

00;49;25;23 - 00;49;27;21

And as we learn from the weird Experiments

00;49;27;21 - 00;49;31;21

episode that ergot is, is the way

in which LSD was found by in

00;49;31;21 - 00;49;34;27

any of these ideas with the fact

that all the information she had obtained,

00;49;35;03 - 00;49;38;03

she had heard through the grapevine,

so to speak, of her town.

00;49;38;09 - 00;49;41;26

Lone exceptions are the picking Charles

out of the crowd, which nobody knows

00;49;41;26 - 00;49;43;29

if that was really what happened in the

00;49;43;29 - 00;49;47;22

mentioned magical sword that she had found

or had somebody find for her.

00;49;47;22 - 00;49;48;14

In my mind,

00;49;48;14 - 00;49;52;05

those examples could be ones where she,

you know, heard about them secondhand.

00;49;52;10 - 00;49;53;14

I have no way of knowing.

00;49;53;14 - 00;49;55;27

But the King switcheroo

trick could have been, you know,

00;49;55;27 - 00;49;58;29

really done by a tell

by someone in the audience that day.

00;49;58;29 - 00;50;01;07

Maybe they believed in her

so heavily that they couldn't

00;50;01;07 - 00;50;04;07

contain themselves

by constantly looking at the actual king.

00;50;04;11 - 00;50;06;09

Maybe she heard from one random member

00;50;06;09 - 00;50;09;17

of the clergy of a sword

that was located up at the church.

00;50;09;22 - 00;50;11;29

She definitely had

heard about the ongoing war

00;50;11;29 - 00;50;14;23

and the feelings of the people

from her village held about it.

00;50;14;23 - 00;50;16;03

The voices could be attributed,

00;50;16;03 - 00;50;19;11

like I mentioned,

to a few of the aforementioned illnesses.

00;50;19;15 - 00;50;23;15

Also, remember when I mentioned that

a lot of the visions early on took place

00;50;23;15 - 00;50;24;29

when the bell was ringing?

00;50;24;29 - 00;50;30;00

That's why people kind of link

epileptic fits to high strain,

00;50;30;02 - 00;50;32;28

either

intense imaging, lighting and sounds.

00;50;32;28 - 00;50;36;15

And I don't think this necessarily

cheapens legacy that she has either

00;50;36;18 - 00;50;38;08

to say that she was afflicted.

00;50;38;08 - 00;50;40;19

So many people in history

had these without us knowing.

00;50;40;19 - 00;50;43;04

But even people like

Caesar were epileptic.

00;50;43;04 - 00;50;46;29

It was once a sign of divinity itself,

even looking at her life and story

00;50;46;29 - 00;50;49;28

as if she were afflicted,

That might be more impressive to me

00;50;49;28 - 00;50;52;21

to go from being a peasant girl,

not knowing how to read or write.

00;50;52;21 - 00;50;56;24

Gaining an audience with the king was next

to impossible anyway, but she did it.

00;50;57;02 - 00;50;59;14

No training on

how to fight right into battle.

00;50;59;14 - 00;51;02;25

But she did it not knowing

first thing about tactics, planning,

00;51;02;25 - 00;51;05;07

and she did help on some level

with that as well.

00;51;05;07 - 00;51;08;04

She impresses me no matter what angle

you think of her in,

00;51;08;04 - 00;51;11;20

and ultimately I'm in the latter portion

of this episode myself.

00;51;11;20 - 00;51;14;20

But, you know, Joan's ability

to overcome all of these obstacles

00;51;14;26 - 00;51;19;22

on top of maybe being, you know, stricken

with a mental illness is insane.

00;51;19;22 - 00;51;23;22

And she set forth motions that would shape

the very world which we know today.

00;51;23;29 - 00;51;25;08

You know, this all mighty impressive.

00;51;25;08 - 00;51;29;01

So with that, we in our story wrap up with

some of the fun facts we learned today.

00;51;29;04 - 00;51;31;09

What a story, what a lady Joan did more.

00;51;31;09 - 00;51;34;08

By the age of 19, the most men

in her village did their whole lives.

00;51;34;10 - 00;51;38;06

One of the things that stuck out

most to me was her tenacity.

00;51;38;06 - 00;51;42;04

She had the spirit in spades

and entered the fray when the French were,

00;51;42;05 - 00;51;46;11

you know, lost, they seemed like

nothing was going to win or help them.

00;51;46;15 - 00;51;49;00

A lot of mind

tricks and mental warfare games going on.

00;51;49;00 - 00;51;52;03

And I believe that, you know,

while the English hope she was, you know,

00;51;52;03 - 00;51;55;08

devil sent, that they were scared

that she was for real.

00;51;55;08 - 00;51;58;29

And that's why they retreated a lot

when she entered the battles.

00;51;58;29 - 00;52;02;11

Joan was a part of 13 total battles,

and the French were victorious

00;52;02;11 - 00;52;03;11

in nine of them.

00;52;03;11 - 00;52;05;08

That's a relatively decent

winning percentage.

00;52;05;08 - 00;52;08;07

And if you don't die in those battles,

that's really all that matters.

00;52;08;07 - 00;52;11;12

Also, how insanely

confusing medieval lineages were.

00;52;11;19 - 00;52;15;06

Who gets who gets what thrown

because who banged, whose cousin?

00;52;15;06 - 00;52;15;29

I don't know.

00;52;15;29 - 00;52;20;01

The obsession with a woman

in a man's clothing is also wild to me.

00;52;20;08 - 00;52;20;22

I get it.

00;52;20;22 - 00;52;21;27

You want a woman to be a woman

00;52;21;27 - 00;52;25;22

and not to confuse you or make you feel

any type of way of creepy old timey thing.

00;52;25;25 - 00;52;30;06

That's one interesting thing I did find

was that the resurgence of the Bob

00;52;30;06 - 00;52;34;03

haircut, that one of the main stylists

who kind of inspired

00;52;34;03 - 00;52;37;15

this said that he took inspiration

from paintings of Joan,

00;52;37;15 - 00;52;39;01

which I think is kind of cool.

00;52;39;01 - 00;52;42;20

Also, another thing I found in my research

that didn't exactly know what to put it

00;52;42;20 - 00;52;46;22

was that there's some who now wonder

if Joan might have been

00;52;46;22 - 00;52;50;06

trans is an interesting idea,

but there's just so little information

00;52;50;06 - 00;52;53;25

about her noncombat non-tribal life

that we have no way of knowing

00;52;54;01 - 00;52;56;02

if that is even remotely true or not.

00;52;56;02 - 00;53;00;09

Either way, Joan had, you know, the most

nicknames of anyone I've ever read about.

00;53;00;09 - 00;53;02;15

Holy cow. That wasn't one of them.

00;53;02;15 - 00;53;05;09

No. In a letter

she dictated to Charles the seventh,

00;53;05;09 - 00;53;09;22

she had signed Joan La Purcell,

which was, you know, means the maid main,

00;53;09;22 - 00;53;12;22

meaning something vastly different back

then, mostly meaning

00;53;12;22 - 00;53;15;22

virgin, but also could just mean married,

unmarried

00;53;16;00 - 00;53;20;02

young woman, a.k.a

Jeanne d'Arc, as written by the court.

00;53;20;02 - 00;53;21;29

She was tried out in the court.

00;53;21;29 - 00;53;23;05

When asked about her name.

00;53;23;05 - 00;53;27;07

She said that the women in her village

took the mother's name.

00;53;27;07 - 00;53;30;28

So would have been Joan, Remi or Ramy.

00;53;31;01 - 00;53;35;19

Then she was also later dubbed Joan

the maid of Orleans or Lapis

00;53;35;19 - 00;53;39;11

El Dorado, due to her

help in the victory of that city.

00;53;39;16 - 00;53;40;12

So many names.

00;53;40;12 - 00;53;43;04

Did you also know

that she has living relatives?

00;53;43;04 - 00;53;43;18

Of course not.

00;53;43;18 - 00;53;44;06

Direct line

00;53;44;06 - 00;53;48;10

because you know she was a virgin,

but she had three brothers and a sister.

00;53;48;12 - 00;53;52;17

And one of such note

is the Clotilda for the Ark.

00;53;52;17 - 00;53;54;27

She is a direct descendant

of Joan's brother, Pierre.

00;53;54;27 - 00;53;56;20

Apparently, this is disputed

00;53;56;20 - 00;54;00;10

as some believe that appears line

ended around the 17th century.

00;54;00;15 - 00;54;03;29

Clotilda, his great grandfather, was given

permission to rename his children

00;54;04;06 - 00;54;07;06

th in: 1827

00;54;07;10 - 00;54;10;12

Either way, this girl does

look a lot like the paintings of Joan.

00;54;10;17 - 00;54;14;02

I know many of them were painted

after her death, so you could probably

00;54;14;02 - 00;54;17;16

just get any, you know, pale skin brunet

with short hair and say it was her.

00;54;17;16 - 00;54;19;19

But I guess, you know, kind of neat.

00;54;19;19 - 00;54;22;19

Well, deal

There was even in the annual Joan Festival

00;54;22;19 - 00;54;25;28

last year the 593rd one which is cool

00;54;26;05 - 00;54;30;01

she dressed up as La Purcell armor

and all riding a horse carrying a banner.

00;54;30;08 - 00;54;32;12

She even does tours around Orleans.

00;54;32;12 - 00;54;35;12

She'll, like, go from one place

to another and around the area.

00;54;35;20 - 00;54;39;19

Is she more than the re-enactors

at the historic locations near your town?

00;54;39;22 - 00;54;41;09

No clue, but it is pretty cool.

00;54;41;09 - 00;54;42;10

Also, I found that David

00;54;42;10 - 00;54;46;13

Byrne of the Talking Heads Fame wrote

and composed the musical of Joan's story.

00;54;46;20 - 00;54;50;02

Arc Into the Fire debuted in: 2017

00;54;50;03 - 00;54;51;06

Reviews are mixed.

00;54;51;06 - 00;54;54;05

And then also all of the movies,

you know, there's

00;54;54;05 - 00;54;57;15

there's the messenger that I mentioned,

and then there's also The Passion

00;54;57;15 - 00;55;00;27

of Joan of Arc, which is a silent film

which you can find on YouTube.

00;55;01;04 - 00;55;02;28

Anyway, that's it for this episode.

00;55;02;28 - 00;55;05;18

Thank you so much for sticking around.

I hope you enjoyed this one.

00;55;05;18 - 00;55;06;20

I know I did.

00;55;06;20 - 00;55;10;13

My I hope the first biography

type episode was one you enjoy.

00;55;10;13 - 00;55;13;13

I don't think I could have picked

a better topic to begin with than Joan.

00;55;13;20 - 00;55;15;16

The entire story is remarkable,

00;55;15;16 - 00;55;18;00

especially if you do believe

she was stricken with a mental illness

00;55;18;00 - 00;55;20;20

because that obstacle is hard

for many people to overcome.

00;55;20;20 - 00;55;21;18

And she did it.

00;55;21;18 - 00;55;24;24

And one of the most impressive ways

you can in one of the worst times

00;55;24;24 - 00;55;29;03

to be a woman,

I think in in a big chunk of time,

00;55;29;05 - 00;55;31;17

the only thing that would have been

more impressive as she

00;55;31;17 - 00;55;34;07

if she would have managed

to take over England or something

00;55;34;07 - 00;55;37;27

next week, we continue the both

the biography theme and the French theme.

00;55;38;03 - 00;55;38;28

Napoleon.

00;55;38;28 - 00;55;41;28

Let's write one of history's

most notorious leaders.

00;55;41;28 - 00;55;45;25

While his military prowess

is exceedingly impressive, nobody past

00;55;45;25 - 00;55;49;00

the 20th century would remember him

for being anything other than short.

00;55;49;07 - 00;55;51;03

Not really. But it does feel that way.

00;55;51;03 - 00;55;54;07

Next week, we'll learn about all we can

about the little just kid.

00;55;54;09 - 00;55;55;00

I know, I know.

00;55;55;00 - 00;55;57;15

He wasn't actually that short,

but the jokes right themselves.

00;55;57;15 - 00;56;00;16

We will cover his grand campaigns

and his interesting life.
