Adrienne Barbeau may tangentially redeem this thread about the unfair killing of a remarkably virtuous and effective woman of her time, Joan of Arc, but Adrienne deserves her own thread.
I'll allow it nonetheless.
ETA - thank you

If you’ve never seen The Passion of Joan of Arc you should. One of the best movies ever made.

2 things. First, she was an idiot who carelessly led men to their slaughter, directly into well defended areas because she convinced them God was on her side. Second, we call a lot of those wars the English vs the french but a lot of times it was 2 french monarchies fighting each other, one of which happened to be the King in Britain. For instance Richard the Lionheart spoke french and could not speak english.Furthermore he detested London.

Yes the conquer of England by William had a French or Norman king in power I. England. But since this was about Joan of arc, the English Kings had lost their lands over a hundred years before during the reign of King John. The Hundred Years’ War was more England vs France then previous battles between he different duchys in France It began as a claim to the throne by an English king due to marriage as opposed to being a land owning duke on the continent.

Of course, no one would ever want to see a picture of Maude. However, here is a Maude-related picture the O-T can appreciate...

Current British royal family is German.

Don’t forget the Greek Mountbatten part, which weren’t wanted in Greece either.

Metaphorically. And soon enough, actually.

Moral: To get the French to fight, you got to light a fire underneath them?

You first have to overcome the hairy legs and pits and bad dental hygiene, esp from a peasant girl like Joan.

While that is true of William and the early Norman monarchs, certainly by the 14th Century, "English" monarchs were speaking English again. Even Edward I likely spoke Middle English in the 12th Century.
When Joan of Arc was active, this was the time of waning English influence in France. Henry VI was a child king under a regency, although he did not do well when he came of age, either.
Henry VI's reign overlapped the last few decades of the Hundred Years' War which set up the Wars of the Roses that would dominate English history until the end of the medieval period (The death of Richard III in 1485).

And that tactic seemed to work well for her as she was able to take Orleans, Loire, Saint-Pierre-le-Moûtier, and Reims - the latter of which got Charles VII crowned King of France (which was her ultimate goal). And apparently Charles thought her tactics worthwhile as she and her family were made nobles despite her reverses during the sieges of Paris and La-Charité-sur-Loire.
Bottom line, her campaigns turned the tide of the Hundred Years' War in favor of the French.

The Hundred Years' War was the English vs. the French through and through. The war started because King Edward III thought he had a claim to the French throne through his mother Isabella (herself being the sister of the French king whose death is what sparked the whole conflict).
