her deep faith … was the necessary personal mental aberration, which served as a conduit for something more important, her desire to see the people of her country break free from the ironically norman descended English kings yoke. especially as the region from which she came had been overrun by the english, after all what care does the bible display for national struggle ? it took a young women of humble origin to inspire the fervent grit necessary, to defend a culture, 20 years later her vision was achieved, and her successes and allegiance to the identity of her culture saw the king crowned before her own death, a necessary step on that road,. Most will not remember the name of the king. Killed for political reasons … she was indeed … but it was a trial by an elite self serving class of corrupt religious fools., who didn’t like the idea of an outsider claiming intercession or direct communication with their fictional god bullshit outside of their control. Who worried about protecting their imagined position in relation to their fictional god, that no lowly maid might however delusory, be allowed to publicly express a more direct relationship with her falsely perceived maker, external to the hierarchy of catholic religious control, for this … she did burn, though the names of those who condemned her are recorded, non but historians wish to remember them, As an Icon of the people … martyred … she will always be remembered.

I respect Joan of Arc so much, as an Englishman, but the war against France began when the Normans and French decided to inflood England in 1066. Until then there was no quarrel between our two lands. Fuck the Norman Invasion!!

Indeed one vile act begets another, you might extend that thinking to say, we should condemn those who defile an established peaceful border, and claim lands not their own – for selfish greed and benefit, wherever and whenever in history it may occur.
