Fighting for the “freedom” to be ruled by a French autocrat instead of an English autocrat is hardly a case for her being the “Greatest Freedom Fighter in History”.
She is a highly admirable woman, and her actions and the events surrounding her make her (IMHO) more likely to have been touched by the Hand of God to be an instrument of HIS will than just about ANYONE else from that time forward who made that claim.
I highly recommend Mark Twain's book on the subject. “Maid of Heaven”.

Fighting for the “freedom” to be ruled by a French autocrat instead of an English autocrat...The same could be paraphrased to describe our Founding Fathers:
Fighting for “freedom” to be eventually ruled by home-grown autocrats instead of an English autocrat...

Absolutely. A positively great book. I always think of it as Twain's penance for writing the scurrilously anti-Catholic
Connecticut Yankee.

(Fair warning: If Romney's the GOP nominee in 2012, I'm looking for a new party.)
