An interesting study of the life of Joan the Maid (d'Arc is a late 16th century poetic invention) and how she altered the fortunes of King Charles VII at the expense of the Anglo-Burgundians (it's too simple to portray it as simply English v French). There is clearly a distinction to be drawn between the heroic/wicked Joan of French/English legend and the real historical figure. A fascinating, probably almost unique study of a medieval woman from humble origins (indeed that is so unusual a phenomenon that some conspiracy theorists say she was really a daughter of King Charles VI's wife Isabelle's relationship with the king's brother Louis d'Orleans, so was simply helping her half-brother gain the throne). From the point of view of historical knowledge, her trial was fortunate as the evidence given there comprises almost all we know about her. Well worth a read. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
