Joan of Arc is a recognized legendary woman. However, most of the legends in history have blurred faces, especially when this legend is a 17-year-old rural illiterate girl, but at a critical moment in the country, she nominated herself to the prince and became the commander-in-chief of the 6,000 French army. The girl in women's clothing unexpectedly won and turned the tide of the battle. This is a special moment in the famous "Hundred Years War" in Britain and France. But 2 years later, Joan was captured, and a year after she was shut down, she was burned by the British. The custom at the time was that the prisoners could be released by paying the ransom, but this time the French did not actively rescue them, but handed them over to the British. Obviously, Joan of Arc has become a used pawn.
"The British government funded the entire trial. Nicolas Bailly, a clergyman, was only appointed to collect testimony against Joan, but did not present any negative evidence. Therefore, the record of the entire trial proves that Joan has Outstanding talent. The most famous question in the record is: "Do you feel that you have received God's grace?" "And Joan replied: "If not, I hope God can give me; if I have received, I hope God will still give me. "
This question is an academic trap. At that time, the church's dogma was that no one could be sure that he himself received the grace of God. If she answered in the affirmative, then she proved that she was a heresy. And if her answer was negative Yes, then she admitted that she was guilty. The notary Boisguillaume later confirmed that after hearing Joan’s reply at the time, the court “all those who questioned her were dumbfounded” and had to suspend the interrogation that day. This question was asked. Later it became very well-known and became the subject of many fields in modern times."
Although she has lived forever after her death, Joan of Arc, who is disguised as a woman, is not a feminist, but only a religious fanatic. Her use is largely due to her deep religious convictions and self-deception divine inspiration— —The process of her self-recommendation to the prince reminded me of the story of the Boy Crusade, and I will write this interesting story next time.
