I think Joan of Arc was pretty swell
How about you
The peasants are adorable
>>81662327
those are some good peasants
>>81662166
Apparently the real life Joan of Arc was dark of hair and eye, strong of body as befitting one coming from the stock of farmers, decent to look at and she had pretty big tits.

Isn't it true that she never killed anyone?
She instead served as the banner-bearer of the army, which hell is even more dangerous since you are in the battle carrying a giant flag making it hard to even defend yourself.
>>81663750
I don't remember any factual account of her killing anyone. But she was in a lot of pretty hairy sotuations. She also sometimes served as a strategist, to the annoyance of the lords.

>>81663885
Her strategies typically consisted of bringing as many cannons as possible and blasting the shit out of everything.
So pretty much how you expect a teenager to fight a war.
>>81663750
In 1467 a guy in battle was holding the banner, got one hand cut off, then the other, so he held the banner with his teeth.
(translated with Google)
The March 1, 1476, in one of the battles at the gates of the city of Toro, the Portuguese army was disoriented, leaving the flagship Duarte de Almeida alone and surrounded by enemies. The ownership of the banner into enemy hands would, by itself, defeat, as was the custom in those days. Almeida Duarte defended himself valiantly, holding the banner in one hand and the sword with which repelled the attackers, on the other. When the hand holding the sword was cut by the enemy, Almeida Duarte fought with the handle of the flag until cut off his other hand. With the banner between his teeth, he continued to defend with arms to fall powerless. Temporarily swept away by the Castilians, the flag was finally recovered by the squire Gonçalo Pires. Duarte de Almeida, a prisoner of the Castilians, was taken to a hospital in Zamora. The respect and admiration for his act of courage was so great that the Catholic kings themselves ordered to place their weapons in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Toledo, and Portugal was considered a national hero. The "Beheaded," as it came to be known, died poor and forgotten, despite their bravery gesture.

This french girl was a TRUE AMERICAN, blowing up foreigners with massive amounts of firepower in the name of JESUS!
>>81664414
She was blowing up Frenchmen as the whole idea of 'national identity' didn't really exist. Really, the Hundred Years War was about two parts of the same family squabbling over the family silver.

The French were Americans before America was a thing. Pre getting their ass kicked by the Prussians in 1870 they were stereotyped as warmongers that everyone hated.

Leading an army was not a heretical offense, they made her decide between wearing a man's clothes to he trial or going naked.
She went in the male dugs, and then was charged for it.
>>81662834
This based on what?
>>81664630
Not really, the English tried to drop upon her all sorts of charges related to 'heresy' which included dressing as a man.
>>81662166
Five and six are pretty perfect. Kate is on point.

>>81664279
>>81664665
>Leading an army was not a heretical offense
On the one hand that makes sense.
But no the other hand, did they need to charge her for a HERETICAL offense specifically? They couldn't execute her for a regular non-heretical offense?
>>81664705
Fair enough. They did also make her brown though.
>>81662327
I hate Kate Beaton but these ones are good. The Joan of Arc shit is trying too hard.
>>81664770
They could, but they wanted their own church to look very nice and godly.

>>81664770
I would think they wanted to burn her for crimes of heresy to discredit her as a religious icon inspiring the French forces against them?
If they just kill her for being a leader then she's a martyr, they've just murdered a maiden of god as can be claimed. On the other hand if they can pin crimes of heresy upon the girl then they just burned a heretic and can use it to justify themselves in terms of christian faith/propaganda.
>>81664676
There are written reports of her trials. They don't have a ton of detail on how she looks, but they do mention she was short, stocky, had short black hair and brown eyes.
>>81664705
I thought it was because she claimed to talk to god and claimed that she must be lying ergo she is a heretic.
>>81664929
>she was short, stocky, had short black hair and brown eyes.
>>81664805
The artist probably assumed after reading "multiple invasions", that it was interracial invading.
It was actually Gauls, Romans and Goths mostly harassing the Burgundians who were thought to be Scandinavian in origin.

It's another case of tumblr 'WHERE DOES IT SAY HE/SHE IS NOT BLACK?'
A detail like that would have been undoubtedly noted since it would be out of the norm. And if >>81664929 sources are correct, then we know how she looks ans since the 'French' didn't note her race is 100% sure to say she was white.
>>81665106
ONCE TOLD YA
So what I'm getting from this thread is if there was a modern-day comicbook superhero that was meant to be a reincarnation of Jeanne d'Arc then in addition to having mysterious holy powers that inspire those around her she would also be using LARGE AMOUNTS of MASSIVE GUNS?

>>81665108
>'WHERE DOES IT SAY HE/SHE IS NOT BLACK?'
Funnily the artist said pretty much this
>Why was she drawn as black? She was a french girl in the 1400s. She was almost definitely white

That's retarded. If there were """people of color""" in 1400s Gaul/France, they would be from the Middle East, and would surely have Arabic names.
How the fuck would a girl named Joan of Arc that came from farmers would ever be black?
I bet the artist is American.
>>81665327
medievalpoc told her its ok
>>81665327

>>81665263
No, her nemesis would definitely be English. Or the Devil. Or an English Devil.

It's funny in a way,that the sentiment that x European ethnicity is not white would find a common home in both early 20th century racists and modern day sjw's. I wonder if they'll start claiming the Irish aren't white either one of these days.

North Africans have never been monochrome. It was the nexus of all trade and travel in the civilized world for millenia, and even in times of Ancient Egypt the land has been traded between foreigner invaders and itself over and over. There are black, brown and white Northern Africans of all shades.

this was my understanding of it as someone who doesn't know much about this sort of thing. places near coasts and port towns that are centers of trade are going to have a variety of skin tones so you can't really label it as just "only black people are from here" or "only white people are from here".
i think tumblr's stance on it though is that the mixed population doesn't count because it's a result of imperialism and colonialism.

>Her squire d’Aulon helped her into her armor every day that she was in the field and it was he who dressed her wounds. He testified that he often saw her naked legs and breasts and that". . . she was a young girl, beautiful and shapely. ..’ D’Alençon said ". .. I slept with Joan and the soldiers ‘on the straw,’ and sometimes I saw Joan get ready for the night, and sometimes I looked at her breasts, which were beautiful." Yet -- all of Joan’s men -- Jean de Metz, Bertrand de Poulengy, d’Alençon, d’Aulon, Thibault; the men who slept on the ground beside her and saw her in her lovely nakedness, were adamant that they never felt carnal lust for her. Thibault elaborated that while they sometimes felt a carnal urge for Joan, they "never dared give way to it.." They saw a saintly goodness in her and it was shame that prevented them from making advances on her. They felt an exalted pure love for her that they could not bear to sully with carnal words much less deeds.

>>81666798
>Frances Gies, in her Joan of Arc: The Legend and the Reality describes the natural charm that drew fighting men to the Maid. Gies asserts that low-born peasant girl Joan had the cheerful boldness to address the great noble d’Alençon with the familiar “tu” form rather than the formal “vous” form as would have been appropriate. Joan also, says Gies, kept up a “playful” rapport with d’Alençon, calling him her “gentle duke” and “pretty duke.” D’Alençon, by his own testimony, was enraptured by Joan from the moment he met her and her informal playfulness must have been part of what charmed him. The squire Gobert Thibault testified that when he first met Joan, “she tapped me on the shoulder, saying that she would like to have a few men of my sort with her.” It is easy to visualize Thibault blushing crimson—and being charmed out of his boots. In his often-cited letter to his mother, Guy de Laval gushed in his adoring descriptions of Joan. He wrote, “I went to her lodging to see her; she sent for wine and told me that she would soon have me drinking in Paris. This seems a thing divine by her deeds, and also from seeing and hearing her.” Clearly, Joan was no somber, otherworldly little waif of a mystic. She had a bravado, a charm, a winning manner, that, combined with her proven strength and courage, made hardened fighting men adore her at the same time they respected her.

I always imagined Jeanne acting a lot like Tullio or Migul. To put it in a bad way, as a con man. I imagined that when it came to the men of the army she was extremely confident in herself and whatever air she brought with her. She could drink with the men, and make jokes, she was a country girl after all, and the biggest differences between the girls and boys there is what's between their legs.
>This maid is rather elegant; she bears herself vigorously, speaks little, shows an admirable prudence in her words. She has a light, feminine voice, eats little, drinks little wine; she enjoys fine horses and arms, likes the company of noble knights, hates large gatherings and meetings, weeps readily, wears a cheerful countenance, and is incredibly strong in the wearing of armour and bearing of arms, sometimes remaining armed for as much as six days and nights.
>>81664770
Yes, they did. She claimed she was having visions from God and they wanted to discredit her. So they created a kangaroo court of bishops that had no jurisdiction and bent canon law trying to trap her on religious grounds until they gave up trying to trick her and tried her for the heresy of repeatedly wearing men's clothing. It's worth noting that she actually had clerical backing and valid reasons, but they were out to kill her anyway so they did what they wanted.
