Joan of Arc: God's Warrior poster

Overview

Writer and historian Dr Helen Castor explores the life - and death - of Joan of Arc. Joan was an extraordinary figure - a female warrior in an age that believed women couldn't fight, let alone lead an army. But Joan was driven by faith and today, more than ever, we are acutely aware of the power of faith to drive actions for good or ill. Since her death, Joan has become an icon for almost everyone: the left and the right, Catholics and Protestants, traditionalists and feminists. But where, in all of this, is the real Joan - the experiences of a teenage peasant girl who achieved the seemingly impossible? Through an astonishing manuscript, we can hear Joan's own words at her trial and, as Helen unpicks Joan's story and places her back in the world that she inhabited, the real human Joan emerges.

00:00:16 On the 8th of May 1429, the town of Orleans in France
00:03:31 The clerk knew that the army at Orleans
00:06:00 when she was living with her family in Domremy,
00:08:17 south of the great curve of the river Loire.
00:10:41 Clearly, they believed in her.
00:13:22 Her words were intoxicating and terrifying at the same time.
00:15:52 God has sent me.
00:18:10 She said her voices had told her.
00:20:51 and a sign of the dauphin's desperation.
00:23:22 the shouts could be heard in the distance.
00:25:59 Now, it was June and a young nobleman
00:28:35 and at nine the very next morning,
00:31:21 The kingdom's capital remained in Burgundian hands.
00:33:52 It was an impossible task but this had been her chance
00:36:16 and gathered her little band of soldiers
00:38:44 and we can follow it all, word for word,
00:41:16 I don't know what you want to question me about.
00:43:32 And their forms are crowned in beautiful crowns,
00:45:50 and the richest that there is in the world.
00:48:14 Cauchon's hardest task lay ahead.
00:50:33 There was uproar.
00:52:47 If I said that God hadn't sent me, then I would be damned
00:55:21 But if Joan was the angel,
00:58:17 that Joan's world and ours, don't seem so very far apart.
