Even though St. Joan was a warrior she was ultimately a peacemaker as she ended a terrible war that had been going on for almost 100 years. As Churchill said: “Joan was a being so uplifted from the ordinary run of mankind that she finds no equal in a thousand years.”

I, personally, believe Joan was a war-lover in the same way Robert E. Lee and others were war-lovers. That is as far from a knock as I can come up with. She was ordained by God to throw the English out of France although I also love the English side and try to see both sides. A great woman, a great saint, and a great soldier.
