Heavenly voices, she said, told her to seek out the Dauphin of France, Charles, so that he might give her an army with which to deliver France from English occupiers. Surprisingly, she was not only introduced to the dauphin, but, an examination of her virginity by the queen and other ladies at court and an investigation of her mystical theology by eminent clerics, Charles gave her some troops and assigned her to the army attempting to relieve the English siege of Orleans. The ensuing tale of Joan's successes at Orleans and elsewhere is told in a gripping and authoritative narrative, accompanied by more than illustrations. Where previous works have concentrated on the religious and feminist aspects of Joan's career, this is the first to address vital issue of what it was that made her the heroine she became. Why did the soldiers of France follow a woman into battle when no troops of the Hundred Years War had done so before and how was she able to win? The English called her whore, believed her to be possessed, but her troops trusted her without any proof of abilities. And she did have very great abilities ~ in particular her prowess as a military leader of men. A new angle on one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures of history, Joan of Arc: A Military Leader is a must have book for anyone interested in the Middle Ages and the phenomemon of the girl warior., Books<
