Doragon

Tribune
One of the women in history that I have always found fascinating. She's innocent, yet strong, a heroine and a victim, of low status and yet aristocratic in her behavior, loved and despised, in short a paradox.

A great idea for a thread @Doragon .. her story is quasi-mythic, rising from peasant childhood to prophet, military leader and kingmaker, then comes betrayal, capture, torture, trial and martyrdom, it’s got everything… there’s a lot of wonderful Joan/ Jeanne/ /Jehanne art out there, for example this painting by dashinvaine:

(Think @Eulalia in armour!):enamorado: this is very inspiring!!

It's a very inspiring tale and an important one as well in European culture.

Agreed :D

I wouldn’t say this is a great sculpture but damn, I love the idea of Jeanne tied at the stake like this, legs wide apart, so everyone can see her gender; no doubt her prison dress is burned away before the pyre is lit, so the groundlings can get a good look; how humiliating! :babeando: :very_hot::devil:

Someone posted this in another thread on this forum (Eulalia perhaps?) and I immediately saved it to my collection. :)
 
Jeanne d'Arc from Fate Series

BTW I have more Jeanne d'Arc picture in my post, if you are interested in them:

Surely the legend of Jeane d'Arc in Chinon is false but I love it.

Surely many of you know it. Jean has just arrived in Chinon to meet the Dauphin Carlos but the nobles decide to make fun of her. The Dauphin exchanges his royal clothes with a nobleman and hides among them. Jean does not know him, but nevertheless discovers the derision and recognizes the Dauphin in the crowd, so she kneels before him telling that she has a message from God.

I don’t know if it’s true, but that’s precisely the sort of thing a medieval prince would have done, and if Jeanne saw through the deception, there are many possible (non-supernatural) explanations for that! Anyway, it makes a good story :D

Within the mysticism of the figure of Jeanne d Arc is her relationship with the beautiful cathedral of Reims (unfortunately bombed during the Great War).
 
Of course there have been many movies made about her, but the difference between these movies could not have been greater than this:
