My uncle told me once that the French practically lost every war except for one time, that was with Joan of Arc.............but they burned her at the stake to make sure that never happened again

But it wasn’t “the French” who burned her at the stake. She was captured, tried and burnt at Rouen, an English stronghold, by the Burgundians, who were allied with the English.
