I understand your point but it was her contemporaries who gave her arms, a horse, and permission to do what she did. And all of them were men with the exception of Yolanda of Aragon who backed her. The Middle Ages was an amazing time for miracles!
I always recommend to people who like Joan the novel “Blood Red, Sister Rose” by Thomas Keneally. It is a very rough book because it only deals with her military life. But wow! The best fictional account ever written.
Thank you for the tip, Miss Marmelstein! I am interested in reading this book. I appreciate your insight.
