Olivier Bouzy, a medieval historian and co-director of the Joan of Arc centre in Orléans, said: “These theories have been knocked down 100 times. This is about people who are not historians, who don’t understand the mentality of the Middle Ages, looking for a contemporary explanation. It shows there is a clear market of readers who aren’t satisfied with what history tells us, otherwise these books would never be published.”
