TIL about her brothers doing this:
Following Joan’s execution, several young women came forward claiming to be her. In 1434, Pierre and Jéan temporarily accepted Jeanne des Armoises (whose real name was Claude) as the actual Joan. Over the next six years, the brothers and their supposed sister traveled from town to town, beginning at Orléans, receiving lavish gifts from Joan’s many admirers, among them, Princess Elizabeth of Luxembourg (1390–1451), and Elisabeth von Görlitz, widow of Prince Anton of Burgundy. Then Claude made the mistake of meeting with Charles VII of France in Paris. Unable to tell him a secret Joan had told him - which proved to Charles that Joan had been sent by God to defeat the English - Claude confessed to the subterfuge, and begged the king’s forgiveness.
I don’t know much about her or her family life, but kinda sad that she spent her life theoretically devoted to the church and then her brothers go around committing sins in her name. I’m not religious, and imho get that bag or whatever, but it comes off as a pretty cold thing to do.
Think this title is supposed to end with “and in poor health”
She passed away two years after getting Joan’s name cleared.
It does. I got too excited typing.
You know you can edit titles?
I did not, now I do!

Never forget how the regime will treat the hero of the people…
Same as Alan Turing
A great example of the regime’s abuse
European organised religion is uniquely evil.
There is nothing uniquely evil about European organized religion until the so-called Protestant Reformation.
