Mixing time-lines? Jehanne v Arc

[edit]

First to note is how her name is spelled. You see other versions than Jehanne while D'Arc is used. No problem, it's history. I'm just saying it should be noted somewhere about how those two overlap (and maybe why). I consider this bit inconsistent. It probably is D'Arc, according to hand script, and the time-line probably started at the naming of Du Lys. There is concern -- hand script. I know what it says, but I know the brits won't settle on it, too. Otherwise, good work, above! Sinking into reality (talk) 12:38, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Appearance section

[edit]

Hello, can someone with access write a section about Joan's appearance and character? There are many descriptions of her. It's interesting. Qupeed66 (talk) 17:34, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think a section devoted to her appearance would be appropriate. The documentation during her trial was focused on her testimony and clothing, not her personal appearance. Most descriptions of her come from testimony over 24 years after her death in 1450, when Charles commissioned Bouillé to open an inquest into Joan's execution, and after 1452, when d'Estouteville and Jean Bréhal began the second inquest. The descriptions would rely on memory over a quarter of a year old, testimony from over 100 witnesses varying reliability that was collected in a political context focused on showing her execution was unjust.
Interpretations of her character are given in the narrative sections (e.g., her encouraging the assault on Jargeau and the pursuit that lead to Patay, her testimony and actions at the trial) as well as the legacy sections. Wtfiv (talk) 16:29, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Joan of Arc was not transgender and did not believe she was anything other than a woman, she was not trying to be a man but rather break the glass ceiling. It was her strength as a woman that made her the icon she was and is today. 2603:6010:6722:F04C:4CCF:E33E:41E3:4A29 (talk) 13:06, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
