Joan of Arc: The Maid of Orléans
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 04. 2019
- She’s one of history’s youngest warriors. At an age when most of us were still stressing over what to wear to school, Joan of Arc was leading thousands of French troops into battle against the English. Supposedly inspired by divine visions of Catholicism’s greatest saints, Joan first took up her sword at 16, was leading armies by 17, and was burned at the stake before she was 20. In her short life, she managed to change the course of the Hundred Years’ War, ending English domination of France. Not bad for an illiterate girl from the sticks.
But while most of us know the name Joan of Arc and know her tragic end, how much do we know about her life? Join us today as we take a look at the simple peasant girl who changed European history, before dying alone and disgraced, convinced she was a failure.

It's amazing that we still have the transcripts from Joan's trial. You can literally look them up and read them online. She was an incredibly intelligent person.

Wow
as a woman, I dont like thots. THey give other women a bad name and encourage men to treat women as sex objects-____- be gone thots
My mom named me Joana because she saw a movie about Joan of Arc and loved her and the fact that I was named after such an incredible woman makes me very proud and happy.
poggers also why is my comment the only reply in 7 months or maybe it's glitched

“Joan was a being so uplifted from the ordinary run of mankind that she finds no equal in a thousand years.” - Winston Churchill
Mark Twain: "[Joan] is easily and by far the most extraordinary person the human race has ever produced."
William Wordsworth called her a "perfect woman" in a poem written about her.
" I saw her wince, I saw her cry, I saw the glory in her eyes" Leonard Cohen-Joan of Arc.
@@clairfayne Based on what? Stallin mind?
@@clairfayne No he was not. You are an idiot.
"Produced" "Uplifted" What accurate phrasing
I was not expecting getting so emotional by the end of the video, the way this teenage girl changed the history of the world through her passion and her faith is legendary and inspiring to say the least!
fr, truly tragic, and its so odd it has to make one wonder as to whats really going on out there
Dude, she’s definitely more popular than anyone French, or British, who lived in her day.
Kids know about Joan of Arc, long before they learn the actual history of her life.
Robin longstride and Richard the Lionheart and tales of the crusades are more popular and around the same time. Only differnce people will talk about them long after Europe becomes more and more Atheist. Maybe for Christians she is a big deal but, the facts to a Atheist give the image of haluciontions and propoganda by the Church. It's still a bit early to attack people like Saints and other fairytales because, you insult 1.2billion people with it.
@@newjones1754 I also believe she was hallucinating, but does that make her story any less impressive? I would argue that it does exactly the opposite. Without the story of divine intervention, it becomes the story of a peasant girl who ended a 100+ year war, crowned a king, and changed the course of history for the entire world, all through sheer willpower and force of personality. What have you done that compares?
@@newjones1754 always gotta have that one atheist in the comments who's all like "hurr durr religion ewww!" Regardless of whether she was hallucinating or seeing saints or aliens or whether she was high or whatever, she still accomplished far more in her late teens than any of us in these comments ever have....she practically liberated an entire country....u have to take into account that in her day religion was the norm, so obviously visions and hallucination would have been seen as religious or "signs from God" even though they probably weren't
Timothy McCaskey
😂 And they went into the belly of a whale. “Jonah Of Ark and The Whale”
Dude They are two inaccurate points but never mind
My favorite line from her trial is this:
Question: Do you know whether or not you are in God's grace?
Joan: If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the saddest creature in the world if I knew I were not in His grace."
Yes, this is also my fav reply of hers too. :) I guess it is supposed to be a theological trap as no one can ever really know if they are in a state of grace or not? She answered correctly but in such an eloquent way that I think the notary recorded how many of the judges were dumbfounded by this.
This woman was incredible. Taking an arrow pretty much all the way through the shoulder and still returning to rally everyone.
I read it was her breast
Also fails to mention she had a vision before the battle that she would get hit by an arrow.
Does everyone that has respect for joan or arc for performing this feat have the same respect for Alexander the great ot king Darius? Who did the same and conquered more and actually fought with sword in hand, or is it just that there is an incredible woman and not that she's an incredible person?
I've been shot....by a gun and drove to the hospital id say that's more incredible just saying.....doesn't matter how it happened so don't ask😒...but either way the points valid
@Jeanne d'Arc Saint Joan pls pray for us and France so that we will live in peace again Amen 🙏🏼
Her king was not worthy of her allegiance.
Right
False, Charles VII tried to save her without breaking the "ceasefire" he had made with the Bourguignons and the English. The french royal army as well as its opponents armies were disorganized as per the treaty. This ceasefire was accepted by all 3 parties because their respective soldiers were weary, Charles VII used that opportunity to start making diplomatical moves towards the Bourguignons and turn them to his side in order to have his hands free in order to fight the english. As such when Jeanne was captured Charles VII couldnt launch an attack right away because it would have needed several weeks of going around the french towns in order to rally all the soldiers and get the equipment, reform the batalions ect ect but also it would ruin his diplomatical efforts and give strength back into the Anglo-bourguignonne alliance. Charles VII then had to amass a ransom in order to get Jeanne back but even if the lords that were advising him would have wanted to pay they couldnt had, the royal treasure and the nobles were almost broke, it turned into a race against the clock to scrap the bottoms of the barrels to raise cash before the english could pressure the bourguignons into giving away Jeanne, Charles VII failed but he and the lords loyal to Jeanne tried one last time to save her. According to the "Chronique Du pays Rouennais" (you can find it in the archives of the BNF) La Hire, Gilles de Rais, Dunois and Poton de Xaintraille were spotted in the nearby town of Quincampoix and stayed there for two weeks, only departing when Jeanne was executed.
Wtf
@@altandemei2644 I love a guy who cites his sources. Very interesting comment. Well said.
Yup.
"That old French play of ignoring the treaty and blowing raspberries across the channel." You Sir, Mr. Author, are HILARIOUS! 🤣
Reminds me of Monty Python: "Fechez la vache!"
Your mother smells of elderberries.
I was in stitches 😂 I still am actually 😆
Yep, the same tired, old references are so hilarious...
or a total idiot
She wasnt trying to kill herself when she jumped. She was trying to escape.
ikr. Her killing herself would've meant she'd gone to hell according to the catholic faith. And Joan was a devout catholic.
This gentleman doesn't know what he is talking about... the rope she used was too short, she tried anyway to escape by jumping ... she sprained her ankle.... NO suicide here !!!
Yeah, I think calling it a suicide assumes far too much. She herself said she jumped because she was afraid of the English and was trying to escape. Giving how impulsive and courageous she was, she probably thought she could make it. Or, at worst, she thought it was worth gambling death to escape the English. Even if she knew that she was taking a major gamble, I'd hardly call that a suicide.
@@shadesamurai I don’t think at that time actually
No, you're wrong. The British army surrounded the prison so much that it was impossible to escape. She is a felon.
“She May have been gay or trans”
Or maybe she was just a good leader and understood that men appreciate a leader who’s willing to eat what they eat and sleep in the same crap conditions that they sleep in.
.THANK YOU.
*@Larry Zeka* Yeah; and then again, "she *may* have *been* gay or trans". Although it is certainly in no sense out of the question that a cisgender woman, whatever her sexuality might or might not be, could and/or would quite possibly feel more or less compelled to do what Joan did, she - Joan - would nonetheless very much certainly appear to have at very least been rather gender nonconforming obviously, particularly considering the constraints, limitations and "norms" of her era. And then again, she might actually well have been transgender; merely because there had, as far as is known, not yet existed either the concept of, or the term, "transgender" (etc), it by no means implies or indicates that no such persons were then existent or to be found, even if they themselves might have been unable, during those/"their" times, to truly and fully comprehend just how and why it might be that they should feel, one would presume, so disparate from - and so different to - most others, in the ways which they would undoubtedly have seen *their* own truths and, have viewed *their* paths in life. Just why should it be - one cannot help but wonder - that, for many CZcams viewers, it seems so difficult a challenge to be open to such possibility...?
She was a farmers daughter but if you look at the size of her armour. She was quite small. Rumour, or science, believe the river that ran through the area was abundant with Psilocybin which bled in to the river. This could account for the many visions people had at the time. As for military capability she was a flag waver and led the army but soldiers, knights like the Marshall of France and her bodyguard, Gilles de Rais, where in control of the tactics and managing the battles. De Rais was a formidable noble at the age of 16. By the time he met Joan he was battle hardened and feared. The history of the two of them has them being a lot closer than history would have you believe. Both were executed. Something to consider before musing her sexuality.
@@alexysq2660 yea as a devout Catholic... lol
@@LFCblend1990 Oh, hun-tee... , believe-you-me: the one has nothing at all to do with the other, rest assured. You do of course realise that being a member of the lgbtqi+ community/family is not a "lifestyle choice" ; it's embracing - and being/living as - what and who one actually naturally IS. One cannot/does not merely decide, on some mere whim, "Today I think I shall behave 'cis-normative heterosexually' and, tomorrow, I shall perhaps resume being/behaving as an 'lgbtqi person'." It just doesn't work that way, you see; it's not like some "pop-up shop"...! Whereas, one's "religious affiliations" are in fact very much matters of choice. Of course, during the 15th Century - in more or less totally and thoroughly theocratic "Christian" (ie, "Catholic") Europe - far more likely, virtual legal obligation than "choice" actually 😑🙄😔🤨😒😟🤐😠😶....
She is my favorite historical woman. The things she was able to bring about are truly miraculous.
I know you're an Englishman, Simon, but you have to admit, that girl was impressive.

What a legend. How she died is truly horrible. She deserves our respect.
“A bunch of Frenchies taunting in their general direction”
Ah, don’t we love a good Monty Python reference?
Joan of Arc really changed the world, imagine no present day, revolutionary, and Napoleonic France, and the war favoring the English. She was really an important figure.
She was my daughter's age when she died. How can someone be so callous to kill such a young woman in that way.
@@Danolyzed I know right?
That's the French and Anglos for ya
She was an 'earthquake' against the foundation of the Church, and the men on top (Pierre Cochon and the others, judging) were dismayed at the tens of thousands who adored Jeanne 💞
This conflict, for devote hierarchical "Voiceless" (to God) Bishops and Archbishops, was to the death.
The review by Charles, ~19 years after her Burning, if I recall, proved Cochon had not followed church protocols (whatever) - he was excommunicated (?)...
Well the Vikings used to throw babies in the air and catch them with their swords... :/
They call themselves christians. What do you expect? If you don’t agree with their beliefs, they want you dead. Same for women burned as witches when they actually had real medical knowledge using herbs. “christians” love to judge others…

No, historians do NOT think she was "gay or trans" for wearing soldiers' clothing: in fact historians have pointed out that there are quotes from Joan, described by eyewitnesses, in which she says bluntly that she wore this clothing because it had cords that could be used to tie the different parts of the outfit together to prevent rape, since the cords made it difficult for a rapist to pull her clothing off. This is summarized by Wikipedia's article on Joan of Arc and mentioned in many other sources.
Growing up i was told they burnt her twice because the first time, her heart was the only thing that survived the fire
They wrote a song about it. It was featured in Rocky 4.
'' they burnt her twice ''' ----- nobody knows and surely it's not true.... the population of Rouen was not allowed to be at the stake, there were only English soldiers totally guarding the area .
Actually they burnt "her" several times, not because her heart somehow survived but to ensure there were absolutely no remains or even bone fragments that could be carried off as relics.
It’s well documented quit trying to change history ignorant fool
Women in history dressed like men out of necessity - to earn respect and avoid being raped. Dressing in men's clothing doesn't mean she was "really a man."
a transgender still isn't the opposite gender that they claim to be.
I'm a lesbian and had the same reaction, anyway if she was gay wouldnt it have made more sense for her to sleep with women not men lmao. Just because she dressed masculine doesnt mean she identified as a man, she was playing the system she was born into in order to get respect. This shoehorning in of identities into history is annoying, gay and trans people exist in history but we cant just assume anyone who dressed like a boy in order to try to work around sexism was either a butch lesbian or a trans man.
Plus they didn’t exactly have battle dresses in that time period
Thank you!
@@thoraneh7365 well I think wearing armour is something everybody has to do in battle no. Just because she is a women doesnt mean she has to fight in a skirt.
Just started the video but as a french person I am sooo looking forward to those mispronunciations !
I just discovered this channel as well and I have to say the way he pronounces french names never ceases to amuse me. He really does an effort though !
He gets some credit for getting more of it right than most Americans. In the US, Orleans is pronounced as ore-LEENS or AWE-linz.
How were they?
As a french man I'm disapointed by the mispronounciations. Most are fairly spot on.
Refund!
Ah, bah oui; et en vrai je pensais pareil, moi! Et, en fait, 'y avait peu des surprises, bien que sa prononciation de "Troyes" (la ville) c'etait pas autant toute epouvantable, comme je me rappelle au moins ({; D...! Mais enfin, je l'adore trop, Simon: je le trouve etre formide, lui - en plus d'etre assez bien sexy, voila` ({; > ...!!
Teacher: "Who was Joan of Arc?"

EXCELLENT!
I swear teachers hear the most interesting things out of the mouths of students 😂

only in usa would a student say something so unbelieveably stupid 😂👌🏻
Joan was amazing, and yet so random that she feels like a deus ex machina dropped into the middle of history. Like, no one is going to look at a 14 year old peasant girl and think, "yes, that one is going to flip the entire chess board of European politics."
Her courage and bravery continue to inspire so many. Such a wonderful person who deserves her sainthood just has much as the ones who visited her.

This one made me feel sad, what a tragic story for a brave, good soul.
There needs to be a well written movie about her. I keep imagining a young Winona Ryder, which they can still do with cg.
The Joan in bill and teds did a good job though XD
Theres a good film about her starring Mira Sorvino as Joan. Film is called, strangely enough, Joan of Arc..
@Zoned 247 that's a brilliant movie. She was great as Joan
The 1999 movie starring Leelee Sobieski was really good.
@Zoned 247 the messenger, brilliant movie, Dustin hoffman as the conscience, been looking for it to watch again for years
There are no good movies about the life of Joan.
I stumbled onto your page by accident, and I'm glad I did! This American is hooked!! love these mini docs, keep them coming!!
wow .... like literally
WHAT A WOMAN !!!!!!!
Leonis Krigorian thank you.
People back then cared more about morality and GOd than self or gender lmfao . Nice try tho
So... I very rarely comment on videos I watch but I just wanted to say Simon, I absolutely ADORE the clear reverence and honest homage paid to Jeanne D'Arc in your video. Everything from the script, to the images chosen to represent her history (and indeed, that of both France and England's struggle throughout the unendingly difficult trials of the "100 Years War"), and down to your voice's precise inflection while delivering every last agonizing detail of her life, and perturbing death, all conveyed an exquisite amount of respect that I truly believe this young woman is owed.
Bravo, sir. Truly. I know it's not much (and indeed the odds of you actually seeing this belated missive amid the piles of earlier, timelier comments are beyond ridiculous in their lowly scantness) but you have definitely reignited a longtime fan's admiration for your work. Not to mention you've finally inspired me to finally attempt to fulfill my long-held secret ambition to follow in your footsteps and begin to contribute to the body of work found within CZcams as a content creator myself (though my own subject matter is nowhere near as profound as your own). Despite my agonizing lack of any professional equipment and absolute lack of editing skills, I want to finally take that creative leap and at last attwmpt what I have excused myself from doing for far too long. After all, what have I to lose? Especially in comparison to the heroine features in this video... So, once again, and from the bottom of my heart: thank you Mr. Simon W.
(I didn't want to mispell your last name lol sorry if that last sentence leaves quite a bit to be desired due to lacking the force of your full name actually being written out :)
13:50 That statue of her sits in the French Market of New Orleans. I see it every day as a tour guide in the Crescent City. :)
Jonathan Hinnen that statue in the French Quarter is a replica of the real one in Paris. The one in the FQ is a gift from France for aid given in WWII.
Alexander Vyse Et toi Alexander, tu parles français? Une chose est certaine, c'est que tu es vraiment impoli.
I remembervonevin St. Louis Cathedral, not in the French Market..
Great video - I knew who Joan of Arc was and even some of the stuff she had achieved. Didn’t know how much we have to thank her for though or how much she withstood and ultimately suffered for. Thankyou JOC and thankyou Simon. I actually look forward to my train home when I know you’ve dropped a new Biographics video. It means that 25 minutes of my journey is going to be interesting, inspiring and motivational. You’re rad 🙏
Good job Simon. Another great biography. Growing up with the history channel (when the channel actually gave you documentaries on history or biographies on historical figures (instead of reality shows or the latest episode of ancient aliens) its a joy to kick back in the morning while having a cup of coffee before work or winding down my day and spending 25 minutes or so enjoying a documentary or bio pic. I’ve told my history buff friends about your channels and have discussions on them. We actually have a couple of younger cats that have gotten into history through your channels. To you, Morris and everyone that helps you guys get the show on the road keep up the good work!
Saint Joan of Arc was and always will be an amazing young woman who accomplished what a lot of people could never do on their own. She allowed God to direct her life in ways that no one thought possible.
Joan was the subject of the first biographical report I ever did for school. It was in like 4th grade, and we were supposed to do a presentation. Being into acting, and having friends in the SCA, I ended up dressing up as Joan to give the presentation, with weapons and all.
Love your biographies, they are short, accurate, and objective. Your delivery is entertaining and interesting to listen to and watch. I love you as a history teacher! True lives are so much more interesting than fiction. Great work, thanks for your channel!
I am in love with all of the stories you do on Biographics. They're all done so well and I look forward to the next one coming out. Awesome work Mr. Whistler! Please keep up the great job that you do!! :)
✟RIP Joan of Arc✟
Her penultimate sighs
, called softy on the kindling wind
Her saintly eyes filling with tears, lifting with truth
And then a golden flash like the onset of Heaven
Leaving her screams, breaking my heart
And in the grip of fire
, I knew the death of love..
Love this :o so many lessons I feel I can take from her story. Thanks for all you do, Simon!

@@Just999Me Nah, It's just that no one dared to kill a king/queen or anyone that was a noble because they were "chosen by God".
"I do not fear men-at-arms; my way has been made plain before me. If there be men-at-arms my Lord God will make a way for me to go to my Lord Dauphin. For that am I come"
When she left Vaucouleurs with a small escort of men, they were travelling to Chinon, only at night, hiding during the day or in small friendly hostels along the way, to avoid the Bourguinons men-at-arms and pirates... She would not called her, Lord Dauphin, only gentil dauphin.
Simon! I just wanted to stop by and give some praise though you guys will probably never see this. Just wanted to say everyone involved in Biographics, Today I Found Out, and Top Tenz are doing an awesome job. These 3 channels provide some of the most professional and quality content on CZcams, you guys really love what you do and it shows. Keep it up!
Love these, keep them coming.
If I could give a video more than one thumbs up I would. Jeanne is the top of the list of my heroes. One thing of note though, her begging for St. Michael to help, well even though I am not religious, if I am wrong, St. Michael was there to help and guide her into the kingdom of heaven.
Literally what I thought too
It’s strategic that she dressed like the men and such. It makes sense she would not want to be easily recognizable and would not be an easy target. It’s not that complicated.

Amazing video. Love your wit and sass too. One of my favorite history channels on CZcams.
Crazy I just read Joan of Arc by William lace. And they say the law of attraction is fake. Yeah sad the Charles left her, but as others have said after losing her divine visions she should have returned home. One last thing I thought was worth mentioning when ask why she carried her banner (which showed 2 angels holding earth I believe.) into battle rather then her sword she replied “because I do not wish to kill.” How inspiring to ride in the name of your god but to wish not to bring harm. God bless Joan and I hope I can hopefully meet in heaven.
Her banner was the fleur de lys and she did have a sword. But on that not much is known other than speculation, such as it would be the sword of the grandfather of Xharlemagne

Also she didnt lost her visions, they just became more rare.
I think it would be a long line to meet her in heaven, but I like that you said that. I have thought it, too.
God Bless you love
Literally my favorite historical figure. She was so badass.
I've watch more than a few of these Biographics videos but this one is amazing. Joan D'Arc is the bestest evah!!
I know I'm 3 years late to this video but we were task the assignment of picking a past historical person we could write about in English literature. Being 3 years younger than Joan I chose her: teenager, fighting for something greater, being look to as a symbol, hero, leader, I delved into this subject. Other students picked musicians, actors, and one guy wanted to be an astronaut but not a specific one. Anyway after squeezing my essay down to less than a 1000 words (something we could read in 5 to 6 minutes) I was stoked to have my turn...but my teacher balked. She didn't want to hear my over enthusiastic assessment of a well known historical figure...none of my fellow classmates would have nearly the passion in their forced commentary and it wouldn't be fair to compare them. Basically she gave me an A+ because she wanted to know whom I would pick. Man!! I was so freaking frustrated and I still am. Awesome video Simon I love it.
My Patron Saint. Even as a Protestant growing up, she was my hero! Her faith and fearlessness is what made her great and it’s true, the world as we know it would be a very different place if not for her heroic acts. As I grow in my Catholic Faith and even as I strive to be the best mother and person I can be, I look to her life for guidance and inspiration. Talk about a Catholic Feminist... ✊
Enfin! Merci beaucoup!
De la folie furieuse, d'un anglais qui n'a rien compris !

Can't keep up..your delivery is super speedy...no pauses..admirable..though didn't digest most of it..thank you all the same..as you were refreshingly different with your documentary...
Watching this on her feast day. Pray for us.
She died a horrible death, ignored by the man she fought to make king. It's a small consolation that at a later date when Charles had little skin in the game he decided to investigate her trial and she was later made a saint, May she rest in peace.
Who dislikes this type of well done mini-documentaries? Its well done and informative, he doesn't have an agenda other than learning?
There should only be a like button and then no other button. Either you click the like or you dont click the like.

I don't understand the dislikes on your videos. You do professional quality content.
There are haters and trolls everywhere, always.
There are a lot of mistakes in the video (Edward III claim on the French throne has absolutely nothing to do with William the conqueror, the 100 years war ended in 1453 not 1493...). I have seen more professional content...
@@salviniusaugustus5541 Alright then go and make your own video of Joan Arc. I hear these excuses everywhere about errors & what not yet no one "really" knows the true story.
This is not a quality video... the story of Joan is he presenting is all wrong ! Where this guy comes from ! I think he read a book about Joan and he is trying to tell a story with some humor !!! Real bad !
Only bad thing is your ignorance and uneducated rambling
Thanks for the videos Simon 👍. It's hard for nerds like me to find something interesting to watch. And I never get tired of learning. Thanks again 😊👍.
I LOVE THIS STORY. Nothing like it in the history of the world. How few indeed are the saints that come anywhere close to the life of Joan of Domremy. God vindicates his chosen...and how.
"she told him to get his kingly ass to Reims" pretty much sums up the relationship between Jeanne and Charles VII
FINALLY. I've been waiting for this one for a while

I love your videos. Keep on making these amazing videos.
I really enjoyed that, sometimes we all need a short synopsis as a reminder of important historical events and heroes.
" modern historians theorize she may have been gay or trans." * eye roll and sigh* ok.
Right? It can't be the rare female leader trying to get along in a male dominated world, its definitely a LGBTQAIP+ thing.
I'm a lesbian and had the same reaction, anyway if she was gay wouldnt it have made more sense for her to sleep with women not men lmao. Just because she dressed masculine doesnt mean she identified as a man, she was playing the system she was born into in order to get respect.
@@thoraneh7365 it's all about pushing an agenda of differences instead of how we are alike.
Grow up.

0:26 Joan of Arc: "I was fighting armies while you were learning to speeeeeeel your naaaaame"
Battlefield earth anyone? No? I'll shut up.
Michelo17 Love that movie
tres tres bon reportage ,merçi
Didn’t know any of this. Appreciate the knowledge, dude. 🖤
The ''dude'' has no knowledge.... its all wrong !
You have been living under a rock !
SAINT JOAN WAS SPECTACULAR AND STILL IS MAGNIFICENT
Hah! Did anyone else catch the Monty Python reference? xD
Your mother smelt of elderberry!
I came to the comments to see if anyone else heard it, too!
The berries and taunting? Absolutely! That made the video even more awesome then it already was!
I'm glad I wasn't the only one
I paused the video to see if anyone else saw that!
That insigth that started at 22:43 of what came after all that happened because joan existed gave me goosebumps... quite mindblowing!!
Sir your videos are fantastic. You said so much about this subject in just 23 minutes. Without sounding like the micro machines guy.
ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO!
Great job as always! Could you do a biographic on the Japanese Queen Himiko? She's a fascinating figure. Tomb Raider made up some information about her but she was a real person.
Great video 👍
What a great video in school and I can speak for somebody who's been out of college for over 28 years big generally just gloss over the Joan of Arc story. I actually found out more information about her in the years when computers really first started becoming a thing there was like this program that you can learn about historical leaders. Great video thank you so much
Just goes to show ordinary people can do extraordinary things! What a woman!!
An Astounding Woman. God Bless her soul.
I teared up when she was annulled and well...you now. It's beautiful.
Loved this! Thank you...quite the heroine
Thank you for making this video about her!
Right on sister, this gives women today something to be inspired by
ross blair I agree!
I was only joking, of course the fucking video is about her, says in the title.
"Jehanne d'Arc du Lis" when ennobled by the king in december 1429 with all her family. So in may 1430 when captured, she was a peasant no more but a noble woman.
Great video. I’d love to see some maps so that we get a geographical reference when talking about specific places.
I first heard about Joan of Arc by playing the campaign in Age of Empires II. She is the most inspirational woman in european history to me. Others may have been intelligent and powerful rulers, like Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria, Maria Theresia, Catherine the Great etc, but none of them fought to liberate their country from foreign oppression on the field of battle. A book I can recommend about Joan is the one written by Pamela Marcantel. Its a shame Hollywood never made a big movie about this except the one with Mila Jovovich but imo that one wasnt so good.
We ar the knights who say Ni!
Angrii Hippy yeah boy
A SHRUBBERY?
@@PinkiesBrokenWheelchair yes a shrubbery, but not too big, and one of those nice picket fences with a path down the middle
100 years war = the French kings of -England- Angevin vs the French kings of France and a teenage girl
What a strange time
Is it even possible to be 100 year long non stop war?!
Oh man the kings of England were French at that time but the Angevin Empire ceased to exist much before the start of the Hundred Years War.
It would make a good anime or dynasty warriors spin-off.
@@MaxArturo so basically berserk the golden age?
She was not a ''teenage '' girl, she was older, not born in 1412 !
Most English people I've heard talk about Joan of Arc had some sly remark about how "she didn't actually do much... Oh but she made a huge difference" or they would subtly make fun of the story. I appreciate the story being told as we know it, with little bias. I will definitely subscribe.
My favorite Simon vid so far.
Was that a metal gear solid sound effect and a Shannon Sharpe meme? Y'all are stepping the production up!
@Tyler Mathis skiiiiiiiiiiiip
Ruben Lopez I heard that too! I was thinking the same exact thing ! “Snake? Is that you? “
Whoever is picking your sound effects needs to stop. They take away from your captivating storytelling
I kinda like the soundeffects, keeps u focussed when ur mind wanders a bit
Yeah that was awful, I've been on a Biographics binge and didn't notice them in any other videos so hopefully the idea was scrapped.
Easy on the sound effects there Simon, your videos are starting to sound like my History of Art presentations back in school.
Loved it.💗🙋
In the grand scheme of things that matter based on Catholic beliefs, she didn't fail. She is venerated as a Saint. That title awarded to her is perhaps the greatest achievement in Catholicism.
If I could ever time travel and meet Joan of Arc, I'd tell her about how many young girls she inspired. Have to brush up on my Medieval French, but whatever.
It's nice to hear a telling of this that doesn't insist on scrubbing up her image and just tells it as straight forward as we can.
A sad fact about the public school education in the US ... if you grow up under the "special needs" banner you get taken out of regular classes for "special" classes and miss out on learning things other students do. History was unfortunately in the time spot for these special classes for me. I've always had a great fascination for history but had never been given the chance to learn it in school. So thank you for this series. I grew up knowing the name Joan of Arc but never knowing who she was or what she had done to become a martyr
