How do english cope about the fact that God chose some random farmers daughter to be his messanger on earth just so she would inspire the French to BTFO the english?
England got the memo that you could be declared a Catholic saintess out of nothing but anti-English hate, and wisely chose to leave the Catholic Church altogether
>is captured by other French people>burned alive on the orders of a French bishop>War continues for another 2 decadesWow. She sure showed the English what's what!
>>18554498>War continues for another 2 decadesIt was very lopsided from the fall of Paris (1436) onwards.Noteworthy, however, is that Jeanne tried to take Paris in 1429 and failed miserably.Was God asleep that day or something?
>>18554493We burnt that bitch like a pig
>>18554523They had some fun with her before the end too
>>18554498>>18554499Cope and seethe France was basically already lost when she came to the picture, and then they won one battle after another, changing the tide of the war and after her death she inspired the French to keep fighting for 22 more years until they won.
>>18554497wise words. the catholic church had always done wrong by england
>>18554493they cope mostly by insulting her and making things up about her, and saying that france needed a girl to win (self-own)
>>18554493How do the french cope with the catholic church taking almost 500 years to formally recognise her as a saint?
>>18554536Inspired the French so much they made absolutely zero attempts to rescue or ransom her and had already decided a shepherd boy who rode sidesaddle like a woman was their new saviour. Well done!
>>18554493What strikes me most about Joan of Arc is that the English, despite controlling much of France at the time and possessing every means to carry out a summary execution, chose a far more elaborate and costly path. Instead of simply killing her to quickly eliminate the threat, they paid a massive sum for her handover, transferred her to Rouen, and organized a full ecclesiastical trial featuring a formal structure, dozens of assessors and notaries, and a bishop fully aligned with their interests in a process that spanned months, involving grueling interrogations and carefully constructed charges of heresy, witchcraft, insubordination, and wearing improper attire.This was no ordinary trial of a prisoner of war, it was a high-level political operation, funded by the English Crown and designed to destroy not only Joan as an individual but also her spiritual and military legitimacy, thereby undermining the coronation of Charles VII and weakening French resistance. The fact that they invested so much effort, time, and resources to stage this charade, rather than resorting to outright brutality, inadvertently reveals the immense moral weight Joan held over the eyes of the English.Even the fact that one of her comrades-in-arms, Gilles de Rais, became a satanist pedophile serial killer after her death don't forget to increase the dazzling shine of Jeanne's worth.
