And it took a ***FUCKING BORGIA*** of all people to say, wait, this was definitely a trial going extremely wrong, we the church shall redo the trial

Honestly, the very last bit where she went back to heresy/put trousers back on as a defence against rape is not only fucking grim in this case, but really makes one wonder and hope to be wrong about the potential sinister reason behind the whole ‘women can’t wear trousers’ thing being enforced in the first place (and for centuries)

It’s something that often overlooked regarding St. Joan: besides the vision and whole religious mania thing, she was genuinely unusually clever and ran in circles all around her accusers for a long time during her trial.

Why is the cleric a time-travelling Anglican?

Friendly reminder, and building on some info:
England at the time, while a separate kingdom, still had title to some French lands. The war Jeane d’ Arc fought in was primarily between two French factions, one was just aligned with the English politically.
So, naturally, the trial was actually conducted in French. And when the priests asked what language St. Margaret spoke, her answer was roughly “better French than yours”.

What happened to commenting the context? You guys do realise that said history is not taught everywhere in the world?

I was reading Mark Twain’s Joan of arc novel expecting to enjoy the war bits and ended up captivated by the trial.

It must have been exhausting having to refit all of your defences and reasoning around the Lord granting you the gift of saying so

To be realistic, it was a political charade. And in many way it was an attempt to legitimize execution of an serious enemy

Jeanne d’Arc might be one of the few people I actually believe was on a mission from God. If only because said mission involved fighting the Engilsh.
