Joan of Arc: The Maid Who Saved France and Changed History

In this episode of The Story of France, Lucas and Luna explore the extraordinary story of Joan of Arc, the peasant girl who rose to lead armies and crown a king during the Hundred Years' War. From her childhood in Domrémy to her visions of saints, from the relief of Orléans to the coronation at Reims, and from her capture at Compiègne to her trial and burning at Rouen, we uncover the real woman behind the myth. We discuss her military strategy, her political significance, the contested nature of her voices, and how she transformed from heretic to national saint. Along the way, we touch on key figures like Charles VII, the Dauphin, the Duke of Burgundy, and Bishop Cauchon. Join us for a nuanced look at a figure who remains one of France's most powerful symbols of faith, courage, and national identity. #JoanofArc #HundredYearsWar #SiegeofOrleans #CharlesVII #BishopCauchon #Domremy #Reims #Rouen #MaidofOrleans #FrenchHistory #MedievalHistory #SaintJoan #MilitaryHistory #TrialHistory #FrenchNationalism #FemaleWarriors #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
