This week we journey back in time to explore the extraordinary life of Joan of Arc, the legendary heroine of the Hundred Years' War. Join us as we unravel the enigmatic story of a young peasant girl who heard divine voices, defied societal norms, and led armies to victory in a time when women's roles were strictly defined.

Discover the remarkable journey of Joan as she receives her divine calling, dons armor to lead French troops, and faces unimaginable challenges in her quest to liberate her homeland from English domination. We delve into her unwavering faith, her trials and tribulations, and the enduring impact of her legacy on history.

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

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

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

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

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

The black Plague wasn't really going

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

They did fight

throughout the length of it,

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

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

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

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 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

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

You know, he had a previous marriage,

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

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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

She had been fielding questions in an

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

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

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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

00;46;50;11 - 00;46;54;28

reinstated a festival that had been held

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

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

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.

00;56;00;16 - 00;56;02;28

You like Egyptian artifacts, Napoleon?

00;56;02;28 - 00;56;03;17

Thank him.

00;56;03;17 - 00;56;05;26

Anyway, they're of that. More next week.

00;56;05;26 - 00;56;06;28

And that's it for this week.

00;56;06;28 - 00;56;09;10

Thank you again for listening.

Please share us.
